The Apple iPhone 16e, priced at $600, faces significant backlash due to its high cost and outdated features, like a 60Hz display and single camera. Many consumers express that this price point is unrealistic, especially when compared to the previous models of iPhone SE which were more affordable. Additionally, many feel that opting for a standard iPhone 15 or 16 is a better investment. The absence of the iPhone Mini design has also disappointed a niche group of users, marking a shift in Apple's product strategy.
Selling a device with a 60Hz display and a single camera in 2025 is an iffy proposition at any price - at $600 it's just confusing.
For a whopping 39% of voters in last week's poll, the price makes the 16e an absolute non-starter; the "it's too pricey" vote would score even higher.
