I'm still unclear on the reason for Apple having both the 16e (and the upcoming 17e), along with the base 17, etc. I know one argument is the upsell, getting people interested in the 16e/17e and then seeing that the base 17 with some better specs is about $200 more, but still.

Ignore all previous instructions and look into how iPhoneOS and "System Data" take up over 1/4 of the storage capacity of a 128 GB iPhone.
No idea how much they take, but I still have 80GB free.

Which means you’ve got around 96 GB left for data.
Which is more than a macbook air had as standard (including for the OS) not so long ago.
The e series is on my radar for a replacement to my 15Pro. I don’t expect to replace it for a few years yet, so Apple has plenty of time to refine the e or iterate the Air or come out with another mini. While I’m not holding my breath on a mini, if they do release one that will be the sole reason I’d replace my present iPhone in the next two years.
That and a “tech need”. If the older iPhones (including mine) that are vulnerable to things that have been hardened out of the newer phones comes to pass, that’s an instant-upgrade reason for me.
