The Most Stupid iPhone Article I’ve Ever Written

This is the iPhone comparison no one asked for, but I don’t care — I’m undertaking it for two reasons.

Firstly, this is my tech review business, and I can do what I like with it. So there.

The second is the fact that, by comparing Apple’s flagship iPhone against its newest entry-level device, we learn a very important lesson about the iPhone and its place in the market.

Oh, and there’s a third — I’ve made the switch from the iPhone 16 Pro Max to the iPhone 16e (no, really), so I know exactly what I’m talking about.

Before you head into the comments section and call me an idiot for making this comparison, please give it a fair crack of the whip. There’s a serious point to be made here, and we might even agree on it.

The price

Let’s take a look at the least and most you can spend on either phone and what that nets you in terms of storage.

iPhone 16e

  • Least expensive: £599/$599 (128GB)
  • Most expensive: £899/$899 (512GB)

iPhone 16 Pro Max

  • Least expensive: £1,199/$1,199 (256GB)
