items: items 1: content: Purchased this to replace an iPhone 6s used by an 88 year old who was very nervous of getting a replacement due to having to get used to new technology features that any new phone would have.
The transfer of phone data had a few minor problems but that was due mainly to the older phone having not been able to update the software for a long time due to it being so old. Made sure everything was backed up to iCloud and passwords were available etc.
Transfer did take nearly a day but after a few Google searches to rectify problems and a restart for the whole phone everything came back . Just needed to update certain Apps to the latest version ( including emails) and it came back to life!
The recipient of the new phone is highly delighted. After a brief tutorial on basic operating ( ie no home button any more which now requires swiping up and using face recognition ( although password is still in use if face recognition is not recognised). They are now using it to access the web and is highly delighted in being able to view various sites at ease ( John Lewis etc)
The phone is not too heavy . The chosen one was the white which comes with a silver edge although now it is in a Apple case with an Apple approved screen protector which is 2 x tougher and so great in case it is accidentally dropped.
The battery life is excellent. Phoning out is easy for them and they can still easily use WhatsApp ( just needed to check some settings in the new updated version as the photos needed to be saved from messages into the photo suite as this had not done as a default from transfer) and they have even created their own Emojis through the Ai intelligence system that it has.
The camera is perfect for everyday use and the amount of storage of 128GB is totally adequate.
A great entry price and will hopefully last for a few years.
Just remember if purchasing this you may require a new phone charger which was also purchased.
Charging is quick and they like the way the charging pins on the charger retract down for easy storage etc.
Definitely an Apple phone to consider for size and with excellent user friendly technology.

items 2: content: Purchased this iPhone 16e for an elderly relative who had a very old iPhone 6S that no longer could backup to the latest software and was very slow. The recipient was reluctant to change but eventually they were convinced and it was purchased on the understanding that it would all be sorted and ready for them to use .
Initially the transfer of data took longer than expected due to old versions of apps etc but after a few Google searches the transfer completed. Had to update some apps to the latest version along with email account but other than that it was a seemless task. Just made sure ICloud was backed up each time. No data was lost at all.
The recipient had to be shown some new procedures for using it for example it no longer has an opening home button and now needs to open with swiping the bottom bar but this was soon mastered along with Face ID recognition. Excellent as an option in case they forget their password etc.
Purchased an Apple case which they like as it is smooth to touch and doesn't really add any more weight to the phone. Also purchased a screen protector - Apple approved as it made sense to protect an expensive item from drops and scratching. Needed to purchase a new charger as the old one was not compatible but they liked the Apple Charger as the charging socket pins are retractable so storage is easier.
The camera is great and they liked creating their own Emojis in WhatsApp.
Screen size great and you can adjust text size for messaging etc.
A very happy 88 year old owner who can now happily browse the web as well as use the phone for calling and messaging.
Very quick charging and the battery lasts a very long time before needing charging.

items 3: content: Overall, I am pleased with the performance of this phone, an upgrade of the SE. They made it slightly larger and the home page screen fills the entire face, where as the SE didn't. Nice to see things better and a lot clearer. There is a lot more in the Settings area which you need to go through thoroughly. I had issues with the sounds not working because of the Notification settings not being applied. They all work now. I had an issue with the Gmail ringtone not allowing me to change it (issue with the Gmail itself), and no matter what I did to correct this, it didn't work. So I had to leave it as is. The one PLUS is the battery life - SOOOO much better and lasts a good two days +/- without needing a charge! I don't miss the home button. Swiping to close apps is wonderful and fast. Alexa is great with a "personal" voice - almost eery. You can set the voice for male or female. There is a lot in this phone and you just have to be patient to understand all of it. Oh, if you want to shut down the phone, you have to hold one of the volume buttons on the left side at the same time holding down the button on the right side. If you need further guidelines, go on YouTube for the tutorials. Again, overall it is a great phone.

items 4: content: Ive had the iPhone 16e for about a few weeks now and honestly, Im really happy with it. I upgraded from an older iPhone and was a bit unsure at first, but this model has totally won me over.It runs super smooth no lag when Im switching between apps or scrolling through social media. The battery life is actually better than I expected. I charge it overnight and it usually lasts me the whole day, even with lots of use.The camera takes great pictures too, especially in good lighting. Im not a pro photographer or anything, but for everyday shots and videos, it does the job really well. Plus, the design feels nice in the hand not too bulky, not too slippery.Overall, if you dont need all the fancy features of the Pro models, the 16e is a solid choice. It feels like a good mix of performance and price. Definitely glad I went with this one!

items 5: content: Very happy with this iPhone. I didn't need all the bells and whistles but I did need a fast processor a camera that would capture the night sky (low light) decent battery life and a slightly larger screen. This phone certainly has all that. I'm hoping to get at least 5 years out of it, as per my previous iPhone SE2. The most impressive thing for me is the battery life, it just keeps going. Apparently, that is largely down to the first ever Apple modem as opposed to the Qualcomm modem found in previous iPhones. The only niggle I have, is the notch in the top of the screen, but I am getting used to it. Definitely a 5 star phone though.

items 6: content: Quality:Amazing
Performance:Splendid
Bought this to replace my almost five years old SE2. Such a great upgrade; the battery life lasts me a whole day and a half. I only have to charge one time a day and maybe once every two days (on days where I don’t use the phone much). For a regular user like me, this phone is great enough. I don’t need fancy features like MagSafe or dynamic island. This phone is perfect for me.
It takes some time to get used to the size bc it is bigger than my SE2, but I can still use the phone with one hand (I have pretty big hands; 17cm). I really wish Apple can bring forth small phones again. Nevertheless, I hope this phone can last me another 5 years. Maybe 10 years? Perhaps!

items 7: content: I’m upgrading from a 4+ year old iPhone 12 64gb (which I always liked but the battery is getting tired) and this 16e 128gb totally meets, even exceeds, my expectations. I wanted USB-C charging, a better screen, longer battery life, upgraded processor (future proofing) and more storage. I don’t care about a wide angle lens - rarely used it on my 12 - and the 48 MP camera on this one is so much better. The screen is brighter as well. And the battery life is crazy good! It’s just the right size as it’s identical in size to my 12 which I liked. For the price, this is the absolute best iPhone value in my opinion.

items 8: content: I bought two for my husband and I. We wanted up update our iPhone SE and we are happy with our choice. We are not particularly 'techy' but were just about to go on holiday so wanted a good camera option which more than fits the remit. I like that you can use a tool to remove an unwanted feature in a photo such as a sunbed, for instance. The screen is bigger but not too big so easy to handle. The action button is a good idea to lock in feature used must often such as silent mode. Lives up to battery life promise and holds its charge for far longer than any previous phone we've had. Yet to discover all it can do but overall happy.

items 9: content: Purchased 2 phones to replace aging SE's. This is the smallest iPhone now, so only slightly larger than the SE, perfect for a pocket or a small bag. As you expect from Apple, set up was seamless, transferring data from old phone just by proximity. Noticeably quicker to load apps and the battery lasts significantly longer than old model. Great camera. Still learning about its advanced capabilities, some of them I may never use, but you never know. Overall, an excellent phone for the price.

items 10: content: Really happy with my purchase! My last iPhone was 7 years old and had lost most functionality so this is a real treat! Apple-intelligence is a fantastic feature- I haven't used the writing feature yet, but Genmoji is a brilliant way to express yourself visually and creatively... New and improved Siri also. Great battery life, intuitive interface and visual look-up coming in very handy already. Smart little phone. Can't wait to explore the other features.

items 11: content: It’s very good phone, great battery, light in weight. I had no problem with transferring data from backup of my previous phone (which was very very old). Even more, I have never experienced such an easy process of reinstalling my apps that I used before, it’s incredibly easy. It’s just perfect. And the most important thing, i bought brand new phone with half price compared to other retailers. The box with the phone delivered as it would come from manufacturer.
Thanks to AO with perfect price, prompt delivery of the great product to loyal consumers.

items 12: content: Set up for me and clear explanation by a member of the John Lewis team this phone is excellent. Very long battery life, screen big enough for slightly enlarged text. Good photography. Face ID. Lighter in weight than my old iPhone X but bigger. Easy to hold in one hand and carry in a pocket. This phone is proving to be a wise purchase for my day to day requirements.
The camera pictures are very clear and colours sharp.

items 13: content: I had owned my iPhone 7 from new. It was ideal for my needs but no longer updating the iOS and with insufficient storage space for apps and photos.
The iPhone 16e is perfect for me and without the hefty price tag of the top of the range iPhones but it has a good size screen, plenty of storage space for everyday use, apps and photos. It is quick and intuitive, like all iPhones and it didn't take long to adjust to the slightly different interface.
I have now had it about 2 months and I am very happy with it, especially the larger screen and improved camera quality.

items 14: content: Really good iPhone for most people. Latest processor, great battery life, essential features are there. At the right price, it’s great value. Got it for my mom. I was considering the iPhone 13/14, but this is waaay way better since she doesn’t need the other features (2 cameras etc), and this has USB C, brighter screen and better battery life. I really like my iPhone 16, but I can’t say that it’s 600 aed better (same 128GB storage).

this phone is for someone thats “stuck” with apple ecosystem but using ip se or older phone. Its very nice to hand, the overall usage is smooth, and the battery can last a day. Played some efootball with this and can say it managed to stay on 60fps very well.
The camera is nice, no 0.5x tho but its okey. Also no magsafe so bought a case for it. Ovr 8.5/10 (please wait for it to be on sale)
