r/IPhone16e

Do you like your iPhone 16e? Are you happy you bought one, or do you regret it? What are your favorite features of the iPhone 16e?

Wife has a new iPhone 16e. When it connects to her 2015 Honda Accord LE by Bluetooth, the hands free phone works but no audio from Google Maps (or Apple Maps), either through the head end in the car or from the phone. However, if we turn off Bluetooth on the phone, the Map audio prompts come through the phone’s speaker.

I have tried all settings I can find. The 2015 Accord does not have Apple Car Play. It would be okay to just have the prompts for the phone, but we get no audio prompts at all when Bluetooth is connected.

Any ideas?

I am just replacing my broken iPHone 15. For the past few months with that phone, I’ve noticed the dynamic island is nice but also not really necessary, but that I actually liked it. I want to be able to keep this phone for at least 5-7 years. I just am worried it would feel too outdated then. But before my 15, I had an Xr for 4 years and it was mainly the storage that made me want to upgrade. I was looking at the 15 pro also. The extras wouldn’t nice but I don’t need a nice camera setup as I have a dedicated mirrorless if I want “pro” photos, and the 120hz is nice but I don’t care that much. and USB 3 would be nice but none of my SD cards are fast enough. I don’t need any of the pro stuff and would rather a better battery and chip and not have the phone overheat. Is the 16e a good buy?
