https://9to5mac.com/2025/02/19/iphone-16e-binned-a18-chip/

So what about the A18 chip inside the iPhone 16e? According to Apple, it has a 4-core GPU – two less than the A18 Pro and one less than the A18 in the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. Potentially, the A18 chip in the iPhone 16e is a binned chip (just as the A18 chip in the iPhone 16 is probably a binned version of the A18 Pro).

Does this mean that the iPhone 16e is slower or will perform worse? Not for most users. The CPU is still the same as the one in the base iPhone 16 model, which is powerful enough to handle intensive tasks. The main difference here is in graphics processing. For comparison, the iPhone 16 Pro’s GPU is around 15% faster than the base A18 GPU due to its extra core.

The only users who might notice a difference are those who constantly play 3D games or edit videos on their iPhone. However, for someone coming from an older iPhone, even the binned version of the A18 chip will be faster.

Was hoping for a RM2400 ish phone for my parents to use with AI and Apple Watch but this price kinda difficult to swallow. I might still buy it, it’s not too much but I am tempted to avoid ip16 and just get the 15 or heck the 14 and call it a day.

I think you can get that price during some of the double digit promo. But still, have to consider spec wise of getting the 16E or the non pro iPhone 15. I would say just sit back and observe how the 16E is going, especially with the new Apple 5G chip and battery life.

Yes, if you are thinking of the pro lineup, go directly for 16PM. Otherwise, just find any discount for the 16 non pro.

Haha, bought my 15 plus during last year's 3/3. Very good discount and not a problem even though it has no AI.

2999 is a great price for a latest iPhone right, never knew iPhone price can start at so low prices
*
Previous SE is 2399. This 16E although touted as entry level, but a bit pricy.

QUOTE(GamersFamilia @ Feb 24 2025, 01:49 PM)
Well im also android user but now still survey ip14, ip15 or if ip16e price good, then ill go for ip16e
*
Imo, try to not consider 14. go at least 15 pro and up.

Iphone is the best, that's why i got no doubt bout ip16e, will getting one

White color would be nice, they should add more colors just like other models of iphone
*
What I like about IOS is there is little to none learning curve even you transition from old iphone to latest iphone.
Just buy a good case with the colour you like, then after a while you won't care what colour your phone is.

QUOTE(Syok Your Mom @ Feb 24 2025, 08:27 PM)
But but but does your ip6plus lags after so many years
*
Sure lag, but I notice iphone lag still usable compared to older android phone that lag.

QUOTE(GamersFamilia @ Feb 24 2025, 08:40 PM)
Yes, so far just twice battery replacement, after getting ip16e thinking to ask few iphone repair shop incase they want to buy the ip6 plus

Thru tik tok shop ip6 plus been selling around rm300 plus, if the shop buy from me rm100 also okey, rather than keep it better sell it
*
I sold my 6s Plus rm200, bought by someone for his delivery job.

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
*
Because open source maa. everything can change, some will like it some won't.

If for second phone/office use, is it worth to just top up 700 and get the ip16 instead of the ip16e? Would there be significant difference in performance?
*
Office use is enough to go for 16E. No heavy duty/gaming, you won't notice in terms of performance. Just need to see review on camera/battery/Apple modem.

If not 16E, go for 15 Pro with discount. It has same 8GB ram, tripple camera, and still has AI support.

i always told myself, if one day my phone got stolen, then i'll just get the base iphone, eg SE3  (that was before 16e came out). and today, it'll be 16e instead of 16.

i used SE3 too from 14 pro about a year i had no prob adjusting..but not everyone is like that lah tongue.gif just need 1-2  weeks to adjust
at least on SE there's no such thing as notch, otherwise everything after notch always have to pull things down to see what's behind

and now yeap 16e still has the minimalist vibe.... i've always been going back and forth between entry iphone and pro phones so there's always some satisfaction in both spectrum

it's always the weight benefit if go to left spectrum that interest me.

but for ur case since it's just 2nd phone...16e at least is the newest iphone after all biggrin.gif use it till you sien or wait for 17 air i guess then pass to mom
*
My problem with SE is not the camera or notch, but the small battery. Maybe first year still ok, but once battery health drop and couldn't last a day, that's when the nightmare starts.

True.. all in the name of smallest lightweight phone (iPhone SE 2022). But I don’t think iPhone 16e will have this prob anymore

Agree.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Mar 4 2025, 08:19 PM)
That's right.
Well, Spain is one of the countries infamous for pickpockets, like Italy for example. Barcelona is the worst among all the cities in Spain. I thought I would survive 15 days without being stolen with anything after visiting a few cities in Spain and Portugal. Unfortunately, on the 14th day, one day before I flew back, I fell sick and I lost focus as I was kinda exhausted. My sling bag which was in front of my chest was opened without my knowledge in a public bus. I blame myself for my carelessness. cry.gif Already turned on Find My and I could track it too, at one point, it was just 600m away from me. We were only two females travelling, so for safety reason, we didn't go to the location to try retrieving it. I marked lost using Find My app and erased the device already. However, as per online suggestion, never remove it from my iCloud, so the thief can't reset the phone without my iCloud password.

Just be careful if you are visiting London, Rome, Milan, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona and even Zurich. There are a lot of illegal immigrants and refugees. Some will snatch like London but so far other places are pickpocket without harming you.

maybe out of topic, but there seems to be services to remove icloud lock nowadays. Even available in Malaysia. Not sure how they bypass or will the iPhone really work as if nothing happen.

Multiple reports shared on the Apple Support Community, Reddit, and X suggest that there’s a widespread issue affecting Bluetooth audio on the iPhone 16e. More specifically, users mention that the audio being played back via Bluetooth cuts out periodically. According to these users, the problem doesn’t seem to affect other iPhone models connected to the same headphone or Bluetooth speaker.

Then it is wise to choose 16E. But do look around for iPhone 16 promo, sometimes price not far from 16E.

128 GB is only good for basic use nowadays. WhatsApp, social media, music youtube etc.
