HN commenters are generally skeptical of the iPhone 16e's value proposition. Several express disappointment that it uses the older A16 Bionic chip rather than the A17, questioning the "powerful" claim in the press release. Some see it as a cynical move by Apple to segment the market and push users towards the more expensive standard iPhone 16. The price point is also a source of contention, with many feeling it's overpriced for the offered specifications, especially compared to competing Android devices. A few commenters, however, appreciate Apple offering a smaller, more affordable option, acknowledging that not everyone needs the latest processor. The lack of a USB-C port is also criticized.
The Hacker News post linked (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43103536) discussing the fictional Apple iPhone 16e announcement has a limited number of comments, making it difficult to identify "most compelling" ones in the traditional sense of insightful or thought-provoking. The discussion doesn't delve deep into the hypothetical phone's features or market positioning. Instead, it primarily focuses on the fictional nature of the article and the user's (who submitted the link) awareness of this.
One user jokingly remarks on the plausibility of the article initially, stating "Almost got me," indicating they briefly believed the article was real before realizing it was fabricated.
Another user expresses amusement, simply stating "lol," acknowledging the humorous nature of posting a fictional news article.
The remaining comments revolve around confirming the fictitious nature of the linked article. Some point out the URL of the original article includes the date 2025, clearly indicating it's not a genuine current announcement. Another comment mentions the website is hosted on a
*.devdomain, further solidifying its non-official status. Finally, some users simply state that the article is fake.In essence, the comments section on Hacker News for this post is sparse and largely serves to confirm that the linked article is indeed a fabrication, with a few lighthearted remarks sprinkled in. There isn't a substantial discussion or any particularly compelling arguments being made about the hypothetical phone itself.
