The iPhone 16e’s R15,999 price tag is difficult to justify when comparing its hardware and features not to similarly-priced smartphones, including Apple’s own 2023 flagship.
Apple’s recently launched iPhone 16e does not offer good value for money compared to its similarly priced sibling or Android rivals.
The model with equivalent 128GB storage started at R5,000 less, which makes its successor about 45% more expensive in South Africa. All four of the competing Android models had 120Hz refresh rates, while three had higher peak display brightness than the iPhone 16e. “This is a rather grandiose way of saying that it crops in to use the central quarter of its sensor,” the publication explained.
However, the benefits of such a powerful chip are limited when considering its other hardware. One area where it may prove useful is in battery life.
