The iPhone 16e is not inexpensive by any means. I believe it cost me almost a thousand dollars. The phone is alright just a little small compared to my iPhone 16 pro max and my Samsung S25 ultra. The iPhone 16e tends to lag and it processes things much slower than my other devices. Had I known this phone would not be up to the usual Apple device standards I would not have purchased it. Overall it is just an average iPhone.
