I bought this phone this week to upgrade from the iPhone 11. So far, I am very pleased the migration over from one phone to the other was easy, it seems to be holding the battery really well. Nice sturdy keys for the volume and power key Navigation is easy on the phone And I would like to congratulate Argos on such an easy transaction, I was able to purchase this phone On by now pay later, Argos is such a fast service I ordered in the morning and the phone was here that afternoon Really pleased with my Purchase and would highly recommend

No surprises: an effective purchase.
If you need an iPhone and are not a big ticket obsessive, then this is fine. Bought to replace my wife's iPhone8 which had lost its Home button to obsolescence (i.e. it stopped working properly!), the new phone was really easy to rebuild from the iCloud back up. It does not come with a Home button (good!!!!) so Fingerprint Recognition is out and Facial in. This was easy to set up and works well. All in all, if you have to spend so much money on Apple products just to get a better camera or a phone that works, this represents good value.

The best upgrade!!!
Excellent upgrade from my iPhone 12. The battery life firstly is amazing in comparison, actually lasting all day!! The camera quality is really good and super sharp! Great features and lovely glass button effect: I got the matte black which also looks very slick! Absolutely chuffed to bits

Great features.Small drawback is no finger button
Only had iphone 16e one week, but the length of time the battery lasts is much better than my 5 year old iphone16e SE. The screen size is a great improvement, although the phone itself is not much larger. I hated the idea of losing the fingerprint button, but I added a virtual button and can cope. I won’t be using Face ID so I’ll no longer use apple wallet for spending. I tried it once but it took money off the wrong card, Face ID is too fast, there was more control to change cards before pressing your fingerprint before.
