Other All models start at 256 now so why buy the 128 gig?

For anything over 500 bucks, the 16e is dead in the water, the 17 kills it for 200 more.

Also app the older iPhones with 128 the sellers need to drop the price not only since a new model was released but with the extra storage they're gonna have to figure out a way to make it appealing to customers, I'm considering overseas buyers I guess.

The business model seems weird they gave us extra storage and 120mhz in the base model which is very anti apple like.

Is the 17e can do the same and possibly.drop the price it might really dominate American prepaid carriers.

The 16e has carrier deals that don’t require trade-in though. Plus we’ve had good prepaid deals where it’s almost free with service.

At full MSRP or if you have an eligible trade-in device, the 17 is a better option.
 
120hz display on base 17 model is an LTPO panel as well, unlike base Pixel 10 and Samsung S25 with older LTPS for the same price of $799…
 
16e and perhaps 17e are still very valid devices which should sell. I have 128 GB on my present phone and only use 1/4 of it.
Cost and battery life are more important criteria for me.
 
The real question is whether the module configurations are such that the lowest storage option (256 this year) exhibit significantly slower speeds as has been true in some prior generations
 
Feels like the situation when M4 came with 16GB standard. Once Apple decides on a new baseline, the old stuff doesn't make sense from a value perspective.
