I switched from the iPhone 16 Pro to the iPhone 16e for 10 weeks… and here’s what happened...is this the best iPhone 16 to buy or are there some serious compromises? For a lot of people the iPhone 16e might be all they need even versus the iPhone 15. But the iPhone 16e price and camera might be what wins people over.
