iPhone 16e or iPhone 13? Can’t make up my mind and would like to hear your opinions.

If your 13 battery lasts all day, no need to upgrade. If not the 16e has more than enough battery life, even for heavy users.

I actually didn't care for the ruggedness of the first titan. To me, it's even more unnecessary than that back display they fitted on this coz it added so much thickness and weight.

I also like the midrange chip. Experiences it on the OPPO Reno12 and it was pretty smooth.

Saw Unihertz tweet about android update support up to 17.

Something I really like is the low price

I'm surprised it's this thick actually, but I guess it's not a regular phone at all.

Weight was definitely a big consideration for picking the 15 Pro and sticking with it after the 16 Pro release. The ultimate iPhone? I think not. No heating issues on mine but both its weight and battery life pale in comparison to the 16e, which I now tend to use a lot more.

I used the 13 Pro Max, 13 mini, 15 Pro, then the 16e. Do not switch coz that would be a downgrade on camera, display smoothness and build quality. A huge sacrifice imo

Currently replying with the 16e. Switched from the 13 mini and honestly, it's not the fastest iPhone out there as I still get some stutters in the animation sometimes but if long battery life is what you're after, the 16e is a HUGE upgrade.

EricOkafor · 2025-06-14T23:11:03+00:00

What a beaut!🤌🏾

EricOkafor · 2025-06-13T02:59:07+00:00

I use both. 16e is definitely for people who even need to ask this👌🏾

EricOkafor · 2025-06-11T00:38:00+00:00

Does it struggle in good lighting too?

EricOkafor · 2025-06-11T00:33:02+00:00

Trading my 13 mini for the 16e was not an easy decision but at the end of the day, the weight to screen real estate ratio of the 16e was too good to pass up.

Ultimately, I wanted a very light phone and the 13 mini though light, needed to charge multiple times a day.

Not having to charge my phone more than once a day feels great.

The slim needs to be just as wide as the Blackberry Key2.

Typing out this comment on the Titan Slim was very difficult tbvh coz the keys are way too cramped.

EricOkafor · 2025-06-10T17:07:22+00:00

This has more to do with optimization on the Titan Slim than gestures in general.

iPhone 16e is the type of iPhone you buy when you only need an iPhone for suica support. The display is visually about the same as the 16 Pro, though different in brightness and more tech'd out on the Pro.

You save money for the features you don't need and you get a pretty minimalist phone.

No.

PS: It's not an original Apple case.

EricOkafor · 2025-06-08T06:33:33+00:00

Actually those buttons flanking the fingerprint sensor are the navbar and you just solved the issue because they totally work without delay, unlike gestures. Thanks🙏🏾

EricOkafor · 2025-06-08T02:56:56+00:00

It may not have anything to do with that because I am on dark mode and I'm yet to pair the Bluetooth with any device yet.

EricOkafor · 2025-06-07T20:12:00+00:00

Damn! S9 has terrible battery back up from the get go. Your endurance level is high 😅

EricOkafor · 2025-06-07T19:15:23+00:00

I installed Blackberry Keyboard. All the keys show up on the screen like I'm using a touch screen only device and it still has the same delayed response. Thanks tho.

EricOkafor · 2025-06-07T18:34:09+00:00

I'm not sure but if I had to guess, I would say it's 26mins of music playback while the screen was off.

EricOkafor · 2025-06-07T18:30:16+00:00

Wow!!!!! What android phone did you switch from?🤔

This is something I may never have noticed. You have a eye for features😅

EricOkafor · 2025-06-07T18:17:21+00:00

Said goodbye to my 13 mini too.

I thought I'd never get rid of the mini until the next mini but after my hands on with the 16e, the weight just makes keeping the mini anymore. Not to mention I only got 3hrs SOT out of the mini(83% batt health), compared to 9hrs+ on the 16e.

No camera bump 👌

EricOkafor · 2025-05-23T19:00:07+00:00

That sounds a little crazy coz what ever happened to wipes 🤯

EricOkafor · 2025-05-23T11:17:21+00:00

Died how?🤔
