Great update
Everything I hoped for
Rossco
Super fast and excellent battery life.
Upgrade from an iPhone 7 as it finally gave up on me. Obviously this is a significant improvement. Super fast, excellent battery and camera is fantastic as well. Called the “budget” iPhone as it doesn’t have a few features the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro have, but upon looking what those features are, I couldn’t care about.

Hello, from the information we have available, this SIM Free iPhone 16e 5G 128GB AI Mobile Phone can be charged wirelessly. That means it can be placed on a Qi or Magsafe wireless charger, and charges through magnetic induction, rather than plugging in a physical cable through the mains. Thank you for using Argos Q&A.
Several missing features
Less sophisticated camera, a notch instead of Dynamic Island, lower brightness and resolution display, wireless but not MagSafe compatible and only has a 4 core graphics processor so not as good at gaming.
It does mean it has very good battery life though.
