Video Title: The iPhone 16e Shows why Apple Bought Part of Intel

Channel: Linus Tech Tips

In the latest tech twist, Apple has launched the iPhone 16e, and it's stirring up more buzz than a beehive at a picnic! The video from Linus Tech Tips dives deep into why Apple's purchase of part of Intel might just be a game-changer for this new model. But don't get too excited yet; it's not all apples and honey.

The iPhone 16e, replacing the old SE line, mirrors many features of its pricier sibling, the iPhone 16, but manages to shave off $200 from the price tag. However, in a classic Apple 'gotcha' moment, it's still pricier than the SE from 2022. The video provides a thorough walkthrough of the specs, emphasizing the not-so-different design, the same-old display from the iPhone 14's leftover stock, and a performance that doesn't leap bounds but rather, tiptoes.

Critics in the comments highlight the 'budget' price of $599 as still too steep, scoffing at what Apple dares to label as 'budget-friendly.' Despite being a solid phone, the absence of features like Magsafe and the unchanged 60Hz refresh rate makes you wonder if Apple is just playing a game of 'how high can we go?' with prices. The video does a great job of dissecting these elements, though perhaps it could use a pinch more critique on Apple's consistent price hikes. After all, who knew that 'budget-friendly' could still break the bank?
