Pros and cons

According to our mobile phone expert

This compact iPhone is easy to use with one hand.
Thanks to the fast processor, you can open apps quickly and they work without any delays.
You can take sharp photos with the 48-megapixel camera, even in low light.
Because you only have 1 camera lens, you can't zoom in or out very far.
The battery lasts a few hours less than the one of the iPhone 16.

Description

The Apple iPhone 16e 256GB White is a compact and superfast smartphone. You can open apps quickly and multitask without problems. You can also use demanding apps and games without any delays. The iPhone 16e fits nicely in your pocket. With the single camera, you can take sharp photos, there's no wide-angle lens and telephoto lens. This makes it more difficult to take photos of large groups of people or vast landscapes. In addition, zoomed-in photos are blurred. The battery lasts about a day. With 256GB storage, you'll have enough space for your apps, photos, and other files for a while. Choose the 512GB model if you don't want to worry about storage for years to come.

Great device, but intermittent Bluetooth connection

Solid
Intermittent Bluetooth connection

The Bluetooth connection of this phone is constantly failing. After research, this appears to be a known problem with the iPhone 16E. I wonder if there will be a recall, but I'm not going to wait for that. I expect something as simple as Bluetooth to work perfectly with a phone like this.

Nice, fast phone with a good battery!

The iPhone 16e is a beautiful phone that so far completely meets my expectations! It is fast and the battery life is good. In terms of price/quality I would consider the iPhone 16 because of the extra features, but with a good discount such as the trade-in promotion from Coolblue this was definitely the best choice for me.
