It gets too hot when downloading photos or apps.
The phone has everything I need. Apparently the camera is not as good as other more expensive models, but pictures are just fine!

The iPhone 16e purchase I made for my mom is perfect for her. She did not want a big phone and this one is a good size for her.
Disappointing transaction

Rose . 11 days ago
The salesperson wasn't familiar with my 16e so couldn't answer all of my questions--suggested that I go to the apple store. I probably should have. I'm very disappointed in how quickly the battery runs down, especially since I've only been emailing, texting, and taking the occasional photos. It gets really hot too. Did not have those problems with my old iphone.

Could we replace more than one phone against this offer?
Answer from Verizon Customer Support7 days
You will only get the full $600 trade-in credit from trading in one device. You can still get a regular trade-in credit for trading in the second device, however, the value of the second device is not guaranteed a trade-in value of $600. -Erica

does this replace iphone6 as well as iPhone SE phones?
Answer from Verizon Customer Support23 days
No, Apple no longer makes the iPhone 6, and Apple has not released a statement that the iPhone 16e is a replacement for the SE devices. You can always check Apple's support forums to get a more definitive answer. The iPhone 16e gives users the option of having an updated device with all the great features at a lower cost.-Jaquetta http://spr.ly/6425NvnAc

Does this phone have a earplug in for headphones
Answer from Verizon Customer Support28 days
No, the Apple iPhone 16e does not include a headphone jack or earbuds. Apple has removed the headphone jack from its iPhones and the 16e follows this trend. The iPhone 16e uses a USB-C port for charging and audio, so you will need wireless headphones or headphones that plug into the USB-C port.-Cryssie
