Yep. Just bringing up that average sell price. I’m aware of the tricks.Just as Tim Cook planned.

Wireless charging always just make my phone hot, yes using the official magsafe apple charger. plus i dont see the point of having a wireless charger that is still wired. Better off using a lighning cable sraight into the phone, does the same thing. My phone stand has wireless no magsafe and it charges at a low wattage perfect. I tried a magsafe car holder but the iphone pro14 isso heavy it never stayed on right. waste of time. I've said before the point of magsafe is to allow easy and safe disconnection, not for allowing a secure connection. It works great on macs but i jus don't get it for the iphone tbh.The magnets keep the charging coils in perfect alignment so charging is faster and more reliable and efficient. Plus you can easily attach your phone to car mounts, wallets, battery banks, etc., using the magnets. It's very useful once you embrace it.
You can easily retrofit the magnets onto the iPhone 16e using a case, so really all you miss is the faster charging speeds that Magsafe/Qi2 offers.
never found one that works properly car mount are the worst. I dont trust attaching a 'wallet' to a phone with a magnet system designed for ease of disconnection. popgrip ? Sure and a fidget spinner too ? . magsafe is a total fail for me.You can mount a MagSafe charger anywhere and just stick your iPhone to it like a fridge magnet. There are also secondary uses like magnetic mounts in cars, or PopGrips.

Including the MagSafe magnets can’t possibly cost more than $1-2, at Apple’s scale. It’s only “unrealistic” in the sense that Apple would lose some upsales to more expensive models.Were you planning to buy an iPhone 16e? If so, how much more would you be willing to pay for MagSafe charging? If you say it should be included for the same price, your response will be discarded as being unrealistic.
the mount was the kind that used an actual apple magsafe charger. If the 14 pro wasn't such a hefty chonk it might work. Hey of course others enjoy it, but it dis-inclusion from the bottom end iphone in order to save weight and cost, as well as technically being possible to add it 'back' in with a case confuses me why so many people give a fling hoot about it. I'm saying i'm on the side of yes get rid of magsafe cos it's no good to me. Of course what i say is about me. I don't want a phone with magsafe, if it means better battery and less weight.You didn't have a good car mount I guess. Mine securely holds my phone, it never falls off no matter how rough the ride.
Just because the feature does not have utility to you does not mean others may enjoy it. It's not all about "you" to anybody but "you", after all.
That is exactly where I was but I decided that for my needs, I am probably in your parents generation, the jump to a 16 could not be justified. I am keeping my SE2.If this had MagSafe and Qi2 it would be an instant buy for my mom and dad. They don’t need the frills, but they will miss the MagSafe. I guess they are getting the 16.
Then why were you asking what’s so great about MagSafe? It’s disingenuous.the mount was the kind that used an actual apple magsafe charger. If the 14 pro wasn't such a hefty chonk it might work.

becuase people seem real upset that its not in the cheapest iphone, and i wanted to know what is was that made it so good that it's worth getting upset about becuase for me, it's nothing. What about you ?Then why were you asking what’s so great about MagSafe? It’s disingenuous.

sorry, i guess what my question is why should *I* care about magsafe. And you suggested amongst other things popflips as a reason why somebody might. i said this was no reason for me. lmao.I answered you in https://forums.macrumors.com/goto/post?id=33785266, and you replied dismissively.

Absolutely, this will make a solid fleet phone and a basic phone for the masses.It's a fine corporate phone. Already seen several here at work.
That sounds promising. I try to get out into nature regularly and while coverage is generally good, there are always spots where it doesn't work very well. Any improvement would be appreciated!the C1 modem actually seemed to be more reliable in some instances where signal was low.
The iPhone 12 was the same price as the 11 despite introducing MagSafe, so it obviously doesn’t cost Apple much to build in.
Your fanboy is showing. The pixel 8A is around the same price and has basically vanilla Android and comes with 7 years of updates. The upcoming pixel 9A is coming as well. The a series also have a 120hz screen as well. This is just Apple being Apple and upselling you to a 16 model for all those features.Good phone at a good price. You buy it, you'll be able to use it for half a decade at least, and likely long beyond that because of Apple iOS support. Way better value than some of the 'droid phones that are abandoned within a year of launch.
And really, how many people out there know how to jailbreak a phone to update one of these 'droid cheapies to upgrade to the latest version of clean Android? You think the average consumer knows how to configure a boot loader? How about selecting a ROM that's not a crypto-stealing mod clone? This is why the iPhone 16e exists, in my opinion.
