   Watched the iPhone 16e video over lunch, looking at comparison now. I like how the camera array distinguishes the models 3-2-1. Selling C1 modem on efficiency is a smart move, competing where Qualcomm does not. Didn’t think I’d need a reason other than size to scratch this off consideration, but lack of MagSafe doesn’t work for me (which shows how I’ve flipped on that). More price shaving shown with 4-core GPU, presumably binned. Still, definitely seems worthy of 16 name.

     @Sumocat I'll reserve judgement until we see how that modem performs.

     @Sumocat All possible. Real world usage will tell the tale.

     @WarnerCrocker I mean, data speed and power consumption are directly related, and Qualcomm builds for benchmarks, so C1 will be slower. I’m just saying it’s better to concede that point and aim for efficiency. That turning off 5G remains a good way to stretch battery life shows there’s an opportunity here.
