"The design drew inspiration from the concept of “a piece of cloth”

        I mean, they have done it. When I was looking at phones a few years back, it was genuinely a toss up between a Pixel 4a and an iPhone SE. If all you need it to be is a cameraphone, then both were good options.

        Even now, the iPhone 16e is a relatively inexpensive phone when considering its featureset, but I would prefer a “mini” or newer SE variant instead.

              I think the problem people have with the iPhone is that all of them are expensive. Whereas Samsung make the A Series and there is the Pixel from Google. If you want to pay extra and get a more expensive phone that’s an option, whereas with Apple that basically isn’t a possibility.

                Yep

                Although the real budget option is just to buy last year’s models. The iPhones have actually really powerful processors - having one a year or two old that you can get new for really cheap is really not much of a drawback.

      That’s exactly what I was thinking too. Like an iPhone nano or something. The laugh I let out when I saw what it actually was though, I really needed that today.
