If I were buying an iPhone today, I would buy the 16e (in black). I would miss MagSafe, sure, but since MagSafe can be added via a case, it’s not really the end of the world.

I do like having the zoomy lenses, but for a savings of $400, I could just get away with not having them.

It all comes down to wanting a lighter phone, a longer battery life, and, yeah, a lower monthly cost.
