I've had it for almost three weeks now. I'm just a casual user, I don't really feel any downsides. Before this, I had a Pixel 8, and it's like night and day. Also on a pleasant note, I can add that I have a M3 MacBook Air and it integrates with this phone just perfectly.
As the title says. I just bought this phone Friday afternoon, and did not charge it overnight that night. I had work this morning, so I charged it overnight last night. Or so I thought. It went up about 10% (to 50%) before I put it down and went to bed, and then when I woke up, it was dead. Luckily, I’m used to waking up at the same time every day so I wasn’t late for work….but oh my god? Do I need to keep my Macbook plugged in if I want to use it as a charger? Since I just switched over from an iPhone 13, I don’t have enough usbc blocks for both my watch and my phone, so I usually with opt to use my Mac as a charger for my phone. I’ve never once had this happen to me before. Is there something I can toggle so my phone doesn’t do this again?
So I just got the black model 16e and from me not dropping it and putting a case on it right out of the box it chipped on the lower right corner?? Just pissing me off because it’s my first new iPhone can I do anything about it?
I am a student and use my phone a lot. I got in October 2025 and its currently at 94% BH (319 cycles) which isnt too bad even tho i do use it a lot. What concerns me is the extremely poor battery life im getting. Ive always had find my on and stuff and i used to get like 6-8 hours of regular screen on time with the 80% Battery Limit (mind you its been on since i got the phone). Now i just get 3-4 hours max with 1 hr of it being Instagram use. What is wrong with my device?
Seems a little better….. 🤔🤔🤔
I will never ever ever have another apple phone again . I always used android only had 2 previous I phone I’ll never have another I’m purchasing a Motorola certified refurbished phone from Amazon renewed
Hi everyone!
I’ve been searching everywhere for a case for the iPhone 17e (or iPhone 16e) that has the same full-width camera bar cutout/design as the iPhone Air.
I’ve checked Amazon, AliExpress, Shopee, Temu, and Google, but I haven’t been able to find one. Most results are just standard 16e/17e cases.
Has anyone seen a case like this or knows where I can buy one?
Thanks!
Hello, I just bought an iPhone 16e, upgrading from an iPhone X, which had a very bad battery and overheating bugs obviously. So I had big expectations about 16e. My new phone was manufacturated in october 2025, so it already came in iOS 26. But it's battery barely lasts 7h (SOT) from 80% to 20% (I only use whatsapp, location services on background, bluetooth earpods, music apps, instagram, and that's it). Also, when it charges (I don't use it while it charges), I can't even hold it because it overheats. Should I wait for a couple days before contacting Apple services? I live in Brazil.
Updates: I contacted Apple services here in Brazil, and they told me to wait a couple days for the battery to settle in and adapt to my daily use. I saw some improvement from day 2 to day 3 as well. So if someone have been through the same situation I suggest to wait a couple days too.
My main concern is battery I’m currently on 18.7.8
Exactly what the title says, I want to know how you are finding the update.I have 18.5 with a few bugs and not a great battery life .
Both my mother and I are experiencing this on our iPhone 16e. Occasionally after taking a photo there is a grid/hatch style effect appearing on the photo. Sometimes the colour is completely off too, it varies and it’s very sporadic. See examples. Anyone else get this and know a solution?

My phone provider had said it’s not an issue on their end so it must be my phone. Anyone else experiencing the same with their phone? Hardware issue I guess so I’m taking it to Apple to see what I can be done.
I’m getting real sick and tired of being on my phone and my data won’t work because reception cut off or if I’m in the middle of a phone call and then it just suddenly drops. It’s so frustrating.
I been to every store in my area and no one has any. They have 12,13 etc and say it’ll fit.
Yes it will fit but with a huge gap on the camera area and are 20usd+. I’d rather pay for one that is intended for it and doesent have a huge gap.
Prob some on temu amazon etc. but I been through many cheap/china cases and it’s more of a problem than a fix. I rather have a good quality one. Where are you getting yours at? Is the one on apple the best bet to get?

Hey guys, I have just bought the iPhone 16e shipped with ios 18.3.1 and I'm so happy because I heard that ios 26.5 reduces battery life for about an hour. But my old phone is on the iOS 18.7.8 and if I don't upgrade, I can't restore data. Any reviews from ios 18.7.8 compared to 18.3.1?
Anyone else noticed a massive dip in recent weeks ? Mine feels like it’s shot to pieces!! Temporary due to update? Or we cooked for good ??
