Great cameras not Apple Intelligence is what people want from iPhone 16e
After a great expectation Apple finally announced the iPhone 16E Yesterday. Considering its position in the company, 16E is the main one. My colleague Ian Carlos Campbell already wrote about how strange it is that The phone is missing on MagsafeA feature universally loved by Apple users. However, the missed that stands out most is that the iPhone 16e does not come with more than one rear camera and no, 2X phooto cuts do not count.
Of course, if you put 16e against its predecessor, 2022 iPhone SEThis is not a surprising pass – but when you consider today’s wider market on smartphones, it is a bright weakness. At $ 599, 16E is $ 100 more than Pixel 8aA device with two incredible rear cameras and an AI capacity processor (more about it for a moment). 8a also often sells for as little as $ 399. Some people hate the comparison of pixels, so I’ll give you another one. Last spring, nothing released $ 349 Telephone 2aS Like 8A, it has two rear cameras. Oh, and a new design that has not been borrowed from 2020. At almost $ 200 more than the phone it replaces, 16E is a very non -medium device.
I know what you think: what’s wrong with a camera as long as this camera is great? In the case of 16E, I think the problem is that Apple is incorrectly reading the market and what people want from their next phone. All user devices are a compromise in some way. They become more pronounced as you move down the market.
For most people, their phone is their main camera and how they document their lives and memories. Think about what is the first thing you tested when you upgraded to your current phone. I bet these were the cameras. In this context, they are more better because they make it easier to capture moments that are important to you.
For a device, some retail outlets are describes as "low -end," The iPhone 16E has the most up-to-date chip. It can be shortened by a smaller GPU core, but A18 on 16E is still a 3nm 8GB RAM chip to support the processor. Apple obviously felt that the A18 was needed to move with an AI apartment at 16E. But that means the rest of the phone had to suffer as a result, starting with the camera package.
I don’t know about you, but if I was on the market for a new phone, I would like the biggest blow for my dollar. The SE line had its share of disadvantages, including dated design and the unstable screen, but at $ 429, they made sense. For all its mistakes, SE still felt like a deal in 2022 because you get a modern chip, access to iOS and all the great apps that come with it and Apple’s excellent experience for software support. With the iPhone 16E, you don’t save almost as much on the price of a regular iPhone. Yes, everything I said about the strengths of SE is still true for 16E and is even based on this phone with additions such as better battery and OLED screen, but the smartphone market has been developing so much over the last three years.
Again, I know that people hate the comparison of pixels, but 8A makes much compromise. Not only does it have a more universal cameras, but it is also available at an OLED refreshment. The 8A Tensor G3 chip is also fully capable of managing Google’s AI features.
I know that offering the best hardware features for the price has never been Apple’s approach, but this approach only makes sense when the company has the best experience of the software. We can all agree to Apple Intelligence did not meet its usual quality standards. Just look at the notification summaries, one of the main points to sell Apple Intelligence. Apple Has recently stopped All news and entertainment signals generated by the poor quality system.
Currently, Apple Intelligence is not a fascinating reason to buy a new iPhone and its inclusion in 16E at the expense of other features feels at best cynical attempt to increase the acceptance numbers. If $ 16E was $ 100 more cheap, maybe I would be less critical, but at the moment it is felt that Apple has missed the sign.
