The verdict, & two little voices
Should you actually get the 256 GB Apple iPhone 16e on Verizon?
The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
“A18 performance and Apple Intelligence in an IP68 OLED iPhone for $299 is a strong deal regardless of what is missing.”
“Paying $299 for 8W wireless charging in 2026 is a reminder that budget iPhones leave money on the table.”
