  • Apple has an excuse for why the iPhone 16e doesn't include MagSafe

    From Marion@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 1 00:32:57 2025
    Apple has an excuse for why the iPhone 16e doesn't include MagSafe,
    and it's the same one that we've seen nospam claim for the past decade.

    In addition to the laughably pathetic iPhone 16e battery capacity, Apple
    has offered an excuse for why the iPhone 16e doesn't include MagSafe.

    Apple says MagSafe is "not needed" & "not wanted" when they offer the
    excuse that "most people in the iPhone 16e's target audience exclusively
    charge their phones by plugging them into a charging cable", according to

    My reaction is...

    ...who the HELL CARES?

    Apple is free to offer any product it wants.

    The part that's interesting, which you missed, is that Apple herself said
    that magsafe was just a marketing gimmick - not worth adding to the phone.

    Apple can't innovate, except for their many (brilliant) marketing gimmicks.

    Hardly overlooked, hence, the diss.
