Daring Fireball: The iPhone 16e

What Jamie wrote
Gruber is always my go to reviewer to read up on new iPhone models. I think his conclusion is right on this:
The iPhone 16e is an iPhone for people who don’t want to think much about their phone. But they do want an iPhone, not just any “whatever” phone. A just plain iPhone, with a good screen, good enough (and simple) camera, and great battery life. I think Apple nailed that with the iPhone 16e.
Seems right on. It will be curious to see how this sells since most folks I know do have strong opinions about what they want on their phone. But I’m sure there are many that just want a phone that is good enough.
