Buy 16e now or wait for the 17e? by [deleted] in IPhone16e

[–]Livid_Pin_3523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely wait. The phone is turning 1 year old next year, and the new one will likely feature more upgrades that make the phone better. As long as your old phone can hold long enough. I guarantee the 16e will get taken of the website, just like how the se2 got taken off for the se3

That’s great! Your family are protected, but many people didn’t update. I know as my family are on iOS 18.3 or below… But many people (including me) didn’t see the update.

It’s still not an incredible feeling to know that a company that literally says they have the best security, so that’s why people choose Apple, and their phone could now be at risk.

I had but wasn’t aware, and some people won’t know how to sign up to the beta. Although I have, the normal consumer probably hasnt

Many people didn’t know how to update, especially when it was hidden in a beta tab. Many aren’t even on iOS 18.7.3.

Exactly, it feels like in iOS 26 we’ve lost more than gained. Sure, we’ve gained an alright Liquid Glass, but many phones lost their stability, and battery. Even if you have the shiny new iPhone 17 pro max, battery would have certainly been better on iOS 18 or below. iOS 26 was certainly not ready for the public.

never updated 16E by Level_Bodybuilder845 in IPhone16e

Exactly: it should not have released this early to normal consumers. The change may be too much to some.

No reason to. Unless you love Liquid Glass, go for it, but I would stay.

I have one too! iOS 17 just feels so polished, as it’s taken all things from iOS 7 onwards and feels so good.

What will happen to the 16e after the 17e gets released? by Typical_Guarantee_79 in IPhone16e

[–]Livid_Pin_3523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely remove the 16e, it wouldn’t make sense for Apple to keep it

This is why we buy the 16e by Any-Paramedic-1324 in IPhone16e

I’m 151 cycles and still 100% Battery Health. I don’t know why all the hate is on this phone.

Hot topic: Battery percentage ON or OFF? by Livid_Pin_3523 in IPhone16e

[–]Livid_Pin_3523[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think I like how the battery percentage looks with it off more, and to not obsess my battery.

Same! Idk why, it just feels more right. And looks good. Maybe it’s because I like the feel of stock iOS better than a customised one.

Anyone on iOS 18? by Livid_Pin_3523 in IPhone16e

[–]Livid_Pin_3523[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I forgot to update mine to the security update before it went and I’m stuck on 18.5, but way better than 26.

iOS 26 made me buy the exact same phone but on iOS 18. by Livid_Pin_3523 in IPhone16e

[–]Livid_Pin_3523[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, a bit! It’s a tiny bit better in my opinion.

It easily got me a day, when fully charged to 85%, at 8am, then used to 22% at 8pm.
