I wasn't aware of that comparison page, which I agree with Ant as being
quite nice.

I'm trying to find out what's good about the iPhone 16e where I've already posted some articles which basically lambasted it as too little too much.

Here is another where I'll summarize the details for the team:
<https://9to5mac.com/2025/02/19/apple-unveils-new-iphone-16e-heres-everything-you-need-to-know/>
A18 chip & 48MP back camera & 12MP front & C1 modem
USB-C (instead of the old deprecated lightning standard nobody cared for)
$600 for 128GB with no chance in hell of modern expansion capability
6.1-inch OLED display with a notch & Face ID only
Action button instead of the mute switch
Wireless charging support & Crash detection
Messages via satellite, Emergency SOS via satellite, Find My via satellite

What's very interesting is that nospam & the Apple trolls claimed USB-C was
"not needed" & "not wanted"
Every article claims that USB-C support is a feature (benefit).

Fancy that.
The Apple trolls were wrong.

How could it possibly be that USB-C is a "good thing" after all?

Since we strive to *understand* Apple products, it behooves us to
understand what the facts are on the dismal Apple battery capacity.

For such an expensive phone, the iPhone 16e battery capacity is pathetic
"iPhone 16e has a battery capacity of 3961 mAh"
<https://9to5mac.com/2025/02/27/iphone-16e-battery-comparison/>

Yet, the iPhone 12 has an even more pathetic battery capacity of 2,815 mAh.

No wonder Apple is no longer allowed to sell the iPhone 12 in the EU after
this summer due to the pitiful number of lifetime charge cycles before the battery drops below 80% (which Apple must certify to sell in the EU).

As feeble as the iPhone 16 e battery capacity is, at least the iPhone 16e battery has a 141% bigger capacity than the lame iPhone 12 battery had.

Note: My free $200 MSRP Galaxy A32-5G from 2021 has a 5 Amp Hour battery.
