you can have it if you have a magsafe case (minus the charging speed)

I thought it would be a gimmick until I got a phone that has it. It truly is a way of turning a negative into a positive that goes far beyond lemonade.
Compared to helping my mom with her motorola with a pinhole camera, I miss the feedback DI provides.
It makes face ID more intuitive, it makes using the flashlight better, it makes using so many things better. The control center may duplicate some of what shows in DI, but the immediate access to what is running is valuable.
Or you know - MAGSAFE. the one feature that became standard and then dropped. For people that really just want a fancy ipod touch that might make one or two calls a month - they really don’t know how to deliver a smaller form product anymore.

It should be included in the phone for that price point. Its just magnets. They probably cost nothing to include them. I hate cases.
It is a rumor and right now I don’t see the need for the Dynamic Island as the notch works for what this phone is. My wife loves her 16E and is fine for what it is. As if now all it can be done is wait and see. I actually rather see a 120 hz screen.
So it’ll be the iPhone 15 chassis and screen. Plus an action button, a19 chip & new main camera.
…And MagSafe?
Honestly they might still miss it out, as people with pacemakers can’t risk using an iPhone otherwise.
Just as long as they provide MagSafe case integration I guess.

Depends on how many notches Apple has left in stock. Gotta get rid of most of them, first.
Don't forget about Vapor Lock Chambers and easy to scratch outer bodies.
The Pro only exists so Apple can have bigger margins. The things the put in the Pro phone barely change the cost. Just a few dollars difference. The iPhone e and the regular have small margins for Apple so the put a few fancy things on the Pro to upsell you to the Pro phones. New design will be the next differentiator for the "Pros" or whatever the next name will be.
full width status bar is so useful. There is the carrier name (useful for detecting roaming), activity indicator, rotation lock, alarm clock, (formerly) Bluetooth, and other indicators visible at a glance without needing to open control enter
Well , it’s a budget phone from Apple , I don’t expect the 120HZ display until the 4th E iPhone anyway .
Probably. It will be good that all the iPhones have similar design. Definitely expecting it to have 60Hz display.
I prefer neither.
Yet I also understand what many miss or overlook talking about. Both the notch and Dynamic Island also serve as styling cues to make it instantly recognizable as an iPhone.
Notice the recent appearance of the notch on MacBook laptops. Apples narrative brags about the components that reside in the notch, but that notch also makes said laptops immediately recognized as Apple computers.
Apple is supremely clever and master marketers, they know exactly what they are doing.
iPhone SE 3 had iPhone 13 chip.
iPhone 16e is inspired from iPhone 14.
iPhone 17e should be inspired from iPhone 15.
