It’s not unusual for me to conclude a new phone review by saying to buy a refurbished version of a previous year’s device, but never has that recommendation been more full-throated than the iPhone 16E. The latest iPhone may be the least expensive model on sale, but it has a 60hz, dimmer screen, a thick forehead notch, a single inferior camera, and no wireless charging despite still costing $599. You could buy a refurbished iPhone 15 Pro for almost the same money, which is better in every way.
