I’m so confused

I’ve been following the debates around the latest iPhone releases, and I’m confused by the heavy criticism aimed at the iPhone 16e. I currently use an iPhone 13—which is now completely shot—and I’m looking to upgrade. I’m not interested in the iPhone 14, and instead, I’m leaning toward a model with the A18 chip and a 48MP camera, which makes the iPhone 16e particularly appealing.

What puzzles me is that critics are bashing the iPhone 16e for having a 60Hz display—even though the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 also have 60Hz screens, and even the regular iPhone 15 comes with a 60Hz display (only the Pro models get 120Hz). Additionally, features like MagSafe aren’t a dealbreaker for me since I don’t use them.

I have watched lots of videos on youtube, and they suggest 14, 15 or even 13 instead of 16e. I don’t get the point.
