Do you have an opinion about it you want to share?

Sure. Thanks for asking. The iPhone 16e, in my humble opinion, is an iPhone
16 with a less-powerful GPU (4-core vs 5-core), a single rear camera
instead of a dual-camera system, a lower peak brightness display, and it
does not support mmWave 5G, Wi-Fi 7, or Ultra Wideband.  What I can't find yet, and which I hope others find for me, is the proof
that, yet again, Apple put the crappiest battery it could get away with in
it. When I say "get away with", that's in terms of the EU forcing Apple for the
first time in Apple's history, to ensure the historically crappy iPhone
batteries last a certain number of charge cycles - which is directly
related to the initial amp-hour capacity (and no, a 1% increase in
optimization can not negate a 150% size difference in the capacity).
