iPhone 16e The "e" vs the "SE" - Which was Better?

[ElPaso]

When the iPhone SE (1st gen) came out in 2016 (ten years! wow) I bought one and used it for a little over a year. Now, I use a 16e, which is today's budget device (along with the 17e). Frankly, I love both of them - wonderfully capable iPhones "stripped down" a bit for cost, but still excellent.

I have to say that I liked the 2016 SE a leetle more than my 16e. I especially liked the iPhone 5 chassis -- classic, squared off, fits in a pocket easily - - But don't get me wrong, I'm not ready to part with the 16e, but out of the two I think I liked the SE gooder.

Anyone else have experience with both the SE models and the "e"s?

iPhone SE1 is still one of the best Apple devices ever produced. I still use mine on occasion.

The size was perfect for one’s hand, pockets, cars, and wallet as well (price).

It was fast for its time, had excellent battery life considering the tiny size, and didn’t have a camera bump.

It was all that while still being thin, and so light.
