Data, and performance

John . 18 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I have seen a lot of negative reviews about this phone and this is the first day that I am using this iPhone while I’m at work so let’s start with a performance. The performance on playing a game is very good if you’re not a typical gamer, but you wanna play some small games like KickTheBuddy or Any type of other game besides call of duty mobile this is definitely it. The performance of call of duty mobile is pretty good but if you want a better performance go with the iPhone 16 Pro Max or any of the pros of your choice personally if you’re just looking for a budget friendly phone, but you also would like to play some pretty good games, but you’re not like a heavy gamer on an iPhone then this phone is for you Moving to the speakers. The sound is phenomenal. Sounds a lot better than my 13 when I had it the camera on this phone is amazing. Nothing fancy I’m 23 years old and this phone is very very nice moving to the data. I can hear people a lot clearer whenever I call somebody The one thing that I am mostly concerned about is that everyone says that this phone does not have the Ultra Wideband chip, howveer, I can actually receive Ultra Wideband and I was able to track an AirTag on this phone. I have the white one so anyone that’s saying that they’re not able to get Ultra Wideband I was able to do that today and I have some pictures that show that I can actually have Ultra Wideband on this phone But overall this phone is phenomenal. I love it.

iPhone 16E is great.

Summit25 . 19 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I have a Pro Max iPhone with favorite techie features and decided to purchase an unlocked iPhone 16E outright from Apple. Pleasantly surprised. It held up very well with heavy gaming and graphics. Video playback is smooth but depends on your high speed WiFi. Battery life nearly 10 hours using 90% of battery life with heavy use. Phone has an action button that can be set to open the camera. Photos are clear and crisp but lacks a wide zoom, a dynamic island and mag safe charging; however, a mag safe case can be used at slower speed 7.5W. It's a fast phone surfing and playing videos. Cellular is great and measured higher speed than my pro max. The old notch is back but the size and weight of the phone is refreshingly light. Highly recommend for anyone who doesn't need premium features or is buying a second phone. Great phone in sleek black or minimalist white. I would ignore negative reviews and already own a premium phone.

Kaa5570 . 24 days ago

Ok it’s not as good as the other 16ns but it’s a great phone play’s video perfectly it’s really fast download and fast processing speeds doesn’t come with mag safe capabilities but u can buy a case with MagSafe capabilities for cheap!

Slowest phone ever

Stay free . 28 days ago

This is the slowest phone Ive ever owned. Every video I playback sputters and buffers every 5 seconds . The new camera control feature is disabled . The O led display is nice but this is easiest the slowest performing phone made. Do not but the 16E model

Worst fone ever

Worst fone ever do not get

More than enough for me, keeping mine

Scolaire . 1 month ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I’ve been using a iPhone SE 2022 for a few years. I am 71 years old retired IT pro on a fixed income. Though the better models have amazing features and performance, I’m not interested in financing over $1000. This phone’s price is affordable, features are fine,battery life is amazing, the new Apple modem works great, all with a larger screen with face recognition, and double storage. This phone is perfect for my needs and I appreciate Apple’s efforts to give me a modern phone I can afford.
