New 16e

Lolo . 3 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Getting used to new features. No home button—but takes several swipes to open screen. Now I tap screen or press side button. Screen turns off quickly despite adjusting time. Camera better than previous phone.Volume on side doesn’t always work to decrease sound; case may not fit well. Suits my needs. Lots of new features and AI I’ll probably not use much. But meets my needs

Horrible customer service

Patricia . 4 days ago

The customer service with this phone was awful. When I called the number listed to assist in activation they told me my phone number was not associated with me or my husband

Good Phone

John F . 4 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I bought the basic iPhone16, the 16e. The reasons are that my battery was dying & I prefer USB-C. This phone is everything that I need. It's reasonably fast and the pictures are good. The battery life is excellent.

Nice camera, nice Sound…. Was unhappy about the heat it was producing and battery life was lacking.

Sharon . 7 days ago

Within 15 minutes phone was heating up. 30 minutes phone was pretty hot and battery drained a a rapid speed. Spent almost 2 hours being transferred back and forth on phone with different departments. We’ll see how the store handles it today. 1st day of owning this phone when issues started. Waited till this phone came out and am very disappointed 😞
