It charges faster than the 16E.

They say 50% in around 30 minutes.

There's no more 128 gig option.

It starts at 256, so thank goodness for that.

It's about the same... It is exactly the same size as the 16E and weighs 2 grams more.

It comes in black and white and a new color, soft pink, which...

You know, black and white are boring, but straight up the middle.

It's nice that it comes in one color that is not black and white.

I hope they rotate that color because the pink looks fine.

It looks good.

But maybe you do a blue next year or red or green.

That's again with the with the lowest end, you know, bargain basement phone.

You're not going to get that many options, but it's good to see one more.

Environmental stuff, 30% of recycled content, 85% recycled aluminum, 100% recycled cobalt in the battery.

And the new thing for this year, 55% renewable energy manufactured with 55% renewable electricity on it, not renewable energy.

That's across their whole supply chain, so they say.

Price is $599 for the 256, which was the same price as the 16E 128.

So they got rid of the 128, but actually are selling the 256 the same price they sold the 128, which is nice, because sometimes they get rid of the low-end config, but they just sell the higher-end config at the higher price.

And then the 512GB is $100 less than the 512GB 16E was.

Again, pre-order March 4th, available March 11th.
