The one thing in my mind is the screen, dunno the screen quality good or not since at this price point, apple might cut corners to save costs
*
It's about same like iphone 16 with lower peak brightness 800 ~ 1200 as compare to 1000~2000

others remain quite same, OLED, 460ppi , resolution almost identical
no dynamic island and remain 60hz

Wow thanks if like this 16e is on my wishlist. Totally Unexpected that apple will unleashed a 2999 brand new iPhone for sale
*
Main thing that they removed as compare to iphone 16 are:

1) Magsafe
2) A18 (shave edition) with lesser cores
3) no UWB
4) no ultra-wide lens (but they fuse wide and telephoto together)
5) 3 gram of weight
6) price tag $100 (lesser)
7) multi color variant

But 16e specs compared to previous SE specs very far apart right. Yes 2999 can buy OnePlus 13 with 8 Elite dy , so consider quite pricey too
*
But experience is differ.

iOS vs Android

Agreed. But if only use Facebook Whatsapp socmed apps, the difference won't be noticed right.
*
Whatsapp will feel differ cause the UI is different between Android and IOS
I dun like Android cause many things like to be on top and the "EDIT" is top right there "..." only can access

While IOS just hold the chat and instantly u can see "edit" button on floating pop-out

There are quite few different things that need you to experience specially UI of each app.

Will try spend few minutes with the demo set see if I like it or not
Oh wow. Means Whatsapp on iOS is better & more user friendly than Android? I didn't know about this before. Thanks
*
Yea, certain app definitely iOS presentation and icon placement are better which you can just one hand operate.

I own iPhone and Samsung phone for almost 12 years d (2 phone holders) and yet iphone experience always better than android as in operation.

That's because iOS is no.1 in USA, apple is no.1 over there, most apps maker also from there, so they focus more on iOS than Android.

Actually iphone only like very minimal "amount" of models , hence not need too much of R&D

While androids too many variants with differ specs.

But the UI in iOS definitely better but not sure why in android needs to be "different"

Such as bottom in iOS but in android, they place it on top :\
* ouch my thumbs

Example Safari link in iOS is bottom while Chrome in android still on top
Bottom definitely easier to reach

if u look closely, iphone 15 has a slimmer screen bezel than 16e.  laugh.gif

I dun really mind the bezel actually, once you slap a case, the bezel feel also will like eliminated XD

Everytime when i take off casing from iPhone 14 pro, i feels like wanna go naked but end up no.
Cause the bezel with and without casing big differ

not necessary. My 2nd phone is a s24u. Main is Ip15pm

15pm
For daily use, banking, eco system with iPad Pro, Apple Watch 2 ultra  and MacBook and etc, iCloud , apple music

s24u
Camera need the zoom sometimes, less secure apps , Samsung pay for rewards point, some apps that not found in app stores, data transfer between windows or file management, control my samsung tv as a remote, check on my samsung tag locations, spare phone, Dual sim, Dual apps like WhatsApp, e-sim for samsung watch ultra with tune talk

Both also have their pros and cons (another issue is iOS to android WhatsApp its headache)

I using samsung TV with Apple TV app.
Can I control it from my iPhone?

Can I know is it worth to even buy Apple Home? I already have an android box.
*
Google home vs Apple home has their own benefit
But Apple Home doesn't has much integration previously and now i'm solely rely on those "matter" integration (which require hardware upgrade)

What i like about apple home is everything can be done smoothly in Apple Home App if compare to Google Home app's messy UI.

However, Siri needs some improvement (i'm using non-Apple AI supported device now) cause it's really stupid sometime.

I am trying to justify why is it worth buying apple home?
Can I install any apps from Apple Store? Is it because of the UI animation?

For me Samsung Tizen UI already serve its purpose.

You have to try it yourself maybe?
