iPhone 16e Will you be upgrading from iPhone 16e to 17?

I bought a 16e in June. It's adequate, but I feel like I want a more robust/power/great model. I'm not sure. Regular or Pro? Air?

Just curious, what do you feel the 16e is lacking?

Typically my primary iPhone each year is the latest Pro Max model. The large size with its beautiful display suits my needs and preferences. Weight isn't a deal breaker no matter what material it's made from. Because I'm out and about for long periods, it gets a lot of use for a wide variety of tasks, even though I also carry a MacBook Air.

That said I bought an iPhone 16e for use as a backup. Two factors influenced this purchase, first I was drawn to its minimal size, its basic functionality and single camera. Second as a long time Apple customer I was looking for a new experience.

Compared to my iPhone 16 Pro Max, it is quite a striking experience. I am impressed at how good it is if we limit our evaluation to using the phone, instead of obsessing over the specs. I rate this model highly.

The only "issue" even though it wasn't a deal breaker for me is the price. Easily $100 USD too much for what you get. Yet that's Apple, they're the masters at premium pricing. Carrying so much influence, supported by clever marketing, they've built an empire by milking our wallets.

No because I bought the 16e for what if offers. If I wanted a 17 personally I would not have bought one 3 months ago.

From a 16e to Air you only will get a slightly bigger display. That would be the worst choice of the 3
