Initial reviews and impressions for the iPhone 16e are here, and they’re middling at best as everyone misses MagSafe.

Apple discontinued the iPhone SE and introduced a whole new device at a higher price called the iPhone 16e. It has a series of compromises to make the price $200 lower than the base iPhone 16.
Reviews are out at a very odd 9 p.m. EST on a Wednesday, and there’s a lot to say about this odd iPhone. While no one outright hates the iPhone 16e, it’s a tough sell when used and refurbished models might offer a better deal.
