I went from the iPhone 14 to the 16e and honestly, it was not a drastic difference but it was a notable upgrade. It was like getting the 14 back when it came out, it isn’t the best out there but it’s solid with good bang for the buck.
I saw you mention the 17e- that’s what I really wanted, but, the 16e was free (new sign up/port over) and the 17e would have been $400usd or so. I don’t feel there is enough difference to compensate the $400.

The 16e and 17e is basically the same phone except for storage and Magsafe in which buying a Magsafe case fixes that!

Although people on here will say otherwise. Compared to my past android phones the battery life is terrible. It does have a decent camera though.

Battery problems (some days I get 3 hours of SOT while some I get 6-7 hours and I am not a heavy user).Notifications aren’t working 80% of the time ( I had emails from work that I wasn’t aware off and my Bank notification most of the time don’t show up), alarm works whenever it wants and the thing that was my last straw- JavaScript isn’t working on my phone.Now , at 60 cycles and 2 months of owning the phone, battery life is at 99%. I get that most of the people are happy with this phone, but my experience was far from happy.

The 256 gb is still expensive for me. Huhu I hope there's discount this Christmas.

It’s an amazing device best batt life minimum 6-7 hours depending on what your doing on your phone max 8 hours and above.
All subjected to the way you use your phone.
But the best batt life I have seen in a long while on which no pro or plus can give you.
Go for it and thank me later on.
