Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great phone fast response and fantastic battery. Love the display features aswell.

The sales clerk was very knowledgeable of the product. The phone is an iPhone 16e. When I asked the difference between this phone and the iPhone that was $300 more, he explained the more expensive iPhone had three cameras. I wasn’t in the market for a camera, and I traded up from an iPhone 6 so I got just what I needed. My favorite feature - it charges very fast and holds the charge a long time.

The iPhone 16e was perfect for my Mom and she loves the speed and excellent battery!

This phone is not for those who have had an iPhone 11 or newer. It is more designed for those who are coming from iPhone SE (1,2,3), iPhone 8s, iPhone 6s and that are not accustomed to Face ID, bigger sizes, iOS 18 software. The iPhone 16e is a great entry level phone for those who don’t care about MagSafe charging, fast charging, fancy camera and video settings that you most likely will never use, and all the fancy specs. If you are coming from the above phones, the iPhone 16e does take some time getting used to a more gesture based phone, but after about 3 days you’ll start to get more comfortable. The iPhone 16e also starts at 128GB of storage which is super awesome! And the iOS software and its apps (if you keep them) take up maybe 25-27GB of the 128GB, so you’re left with ALOT of storage space. Which coming from older iPhones this extra storage is very useful. The screen is awesome, clear, and crisp so those coming from older iPhones will greatly appreciate this. The camera works well as a regular point and take a picture camera (this is how I take pictures on my phone anyway lol) and get a good picture out of it. It also has a way better zoom than the older phones, so you can get some good pictures of things that are farther away. Night mode is low key very clutch, being able to take pictures at night is pretty sweet! The battery life is substantially better so far. I’ve only had to charge my phone every other day so far, compared to twice a day on the iPhone SE 2 I was using for 4 years which is pretty nice. The speakers are awesome! You will be able to hear music and sound much more clearly and not have to turn the volume up too loud to hear. You will need to get adapters for your charging ports that will convert from USB-C to regular USB or purchase one that’s a USB-C charging port. The charging cord that comes with the phone is actually really nice! It’s corded material, so you won’t get the turtleneck effect on the cord lol and it’s a decent length 1m/39in. This isn’t a “budget” phone and Apple never said that it would be. But, for me the price $599 ($641 for me including tax for the state I live in) was well worth it for the upgrade. Everyone will have their thoughts and opinions about what iPhone you should pick and what makes one better than the other. I say decide on whichever one that resonates for you. And from my experience with the phone so far coming from an iPhone SE 2, this has been a pleasant transition for me to the lineup of Apple’s current phone designs. I do still miss Touch ID and slightly smaller screen, but they’ve done an excellent job making the body of the phone not feel big at all. It’s only about 1.25-1.5” bigger than the iPhone SE/8/6 phones. You will probably want to get a case, there’s plenty to choose from on Amazon for affordable prices. If you get the iPhone 16e, I hope you enjoy it! :)

Excellent phone easy to use and lightweight fast with lots of storage an long battery life

Good battery life processes well less useless features that aren’t needed than more expensive models

Best value iPhone, has almost all the same specs as the 16, with only the difference of rear camera and no native MagSafe, but got a MagSafe case so I can still charge and use MagSafe devices. Phones battery last forever too!

I think the battery life says it all for me. It can last a good days with moderate use for me. Although it’s not exactly ‘affordable’ you get everything that’s great about the iPhone without fancy bells and whistles like Dynamic Island and always on type things that just really don’t matter to me.

Carries so much processing power and new photo hacks for something relatively lightweight. Switching my existing number to my new phone on the Best Buy website was also surprisingly simple.

Faster than my SE. Easy set up. Speedy response. I like it!

I like my new 16e. Using it did not require a huge learning curve from using my 10XR and, so far, it is performing well.

Everything is working as expected, glad they were able to get everything loaded from my old phone.

Wanted this new phone to replace my old android LG. This is a nice phone but being old and not having much tec knowledge finding it harder to use then my old phone. That being said its still a nice phone.

Great phone purchase experience! Carson and Kirby were very knowledgeable and took their time to answer any questions I had. Will be quick to tell anyone Best Buy is the place to go to purchase a phone.

Easy to use!! Well priced!! The only problem with this phone is it is too new. Hard to find items to help protect it. I will stay with Apple!

The purchase of my IPhone16 at Best Buy was excellent!! The employee, Ean, was super good in the purchase and the information needed about the phone. GREAT JOB!!!

Staff very helpful despite our 3 geek squad visits !!!!!

The phone is doing great. My wife loves the phone. I got it from my wife.

Very good deal. For the money, you get all the bells and whistles of an updated iphone. You won't miss anything that isn't in this phone except for maybe the camera system if you are a camera buff. Even though, camera in the 16e would be perfect for just about anyone.

Really good phone and cheaper price than the other iPhone 16 models. I am happy with my purchase and impressed with the speed and functionality
