Umm…according to the chart, Apple’s share of the market is the same as last year, and down from 2023. Did it take anything, or just benefit from decline in Samsung?
There are a few who did long term reviews of the 16e and found themselves generally pleased with it overall. They acknowledge that if you really need a good camera because you’re a photographic enthusiast or you need it for your work then you should look at a higher end phone. But if you want a good general purpose phone that takes good pictures then there is nothing wrong with the 16e.To all those tech YouTubers etc who didn’t like it - they should just review any the ‘pro’ Apple products.
It’s obvious that they only use high end gear…
There is a source link for such questions...This doesn’t really say much, especially with so many Chinese brands. Who are the 33% “other”? That’s the more interesting breakdown.
Yeah agreed, most of the reasonable reviews were in websites/publications aimed at 'regular' people. YouTubers were just awful. But yeah, I guess if your 'brand' is 'high end person' they're not going to trash it by saying that the 16e is ok.There are a few who did long term reviews of the 16e and found themselves generally pleased with it overall.

Regarding higher end gear. A lot of automotive reviewers online also slant to reviewing upper tier models because they’re seen as the most desirable despite most consumers generally not opting for those models.
I never got into MagSafe, so I don't miss it!I just got a MagSafe case for mine, works perfectly.
...or exploit customers.funny how this all works out. it's almost as if apple knows how to sell phones.
Yeah, you would be hard pushed to get the 16 over the 16e.To defend the snooty youtubers, I think the major beef with the 16e is that it's too good. literally. It really isn't much different at all from the regular 16 and because of that it isn't priced quite as low as some would like. But I agree with everything you're saying. It's a great phone for the price and kind of renders the regular 16 as a not-so-great option.
B-b-b-but the anonymous armchair geeks on Reddit said it was going to be a flop!
Customers aren’t dumb. They are much smarter and aware than the Geeks who put clickbait you tube videos. You can’t sell millions of devices by exploiting...or exploit customers.
They already know. And Apple doesn’t sell low end mainstream products. Their products are upper tier mainstream.This should tell Apple something, the price, that’s why it’s on the top sales list.
The more you use Reddit, the less informed you are.
