Personally, I bought the iPhone 16 because I've been living on an iPhone 11 for 5 years and the battery is getting old. So the choice was to replace the battery or buy a new phone. If you've been paying attention you know that Apple Intelligence is releasing after the phone. That's not news. I decided to get the phone anyway for the features it has today. And when A.I. arrives, I'll have a phone that can run it. So I'm happy.

[@gdok6088]

Well summed up. I'm upgrading my 12 pro max to 16 pro max for exactly those reasons + the satellite messaging functionality off grid.

[@MrHowardMoon]

Most of the KZbin tech community is creatively bankrupt, it is very hard to find an original opinion. A lot of these channels just rehash what another said because they lack the ability to create anything of their own. It was the same with the whole 8GB vs 16GB fiasco, I saw channels which ran with that for over a year and when it was confirmed that the new devices would be 16GB at base, those same channels began making videos on how it was 2024 now and 16GB wasn't enough compared to 32GB. Lazy, creatively bankrupt losers.

[@sando1948]

The pro phones this year and last year are loosing popularity because there is nothing “pro” in them, and going from last two or even three years pro, to this year is useless from a technical standpoint.

[@DavyoInVegas]

I upgrade iPhones every year but no way am I getting any model of the 16 series, I’ll stick with my 15 Pro. The camera BUTTON is a completely useless gimmick, I’m totally stunned that Apple thought this BUTTON would be a good idea ? The big Dynamic Eyesore useless gimmick is still with us as well, the iPhone should have had a punch hole by now instead of using the Dynamic Eyesore as a branding tool. The release of the 16 Series has me seriously looking at the soon to be released Galaxy S25 Ultra, this might be the year I drop Apple for Samsung.

[@hhhmmmmmmmm]

I thought we would have a numbers row on the keyboard by now 😂

[@Weather_Nerd]

As a DSLR user, I would love the camera button if it actually was closer to the bottom of the side of the phone for landscape mode shots rather than somewhere in between to (sort of) allow use with your thumb I guess lol idk. As for the dynamic island, there were leaked roadmaps about iPhones a year or two back showing it would stick around I want to say until the 17, maybe 18 at latest. Anyone who thought they would drop that after only two years is delusional though I am with you I don’t like it. Not that it doesn’t have useful features but the fact that it isn’t flush with the top bugs me bad, I will stick with my 13 Pro’s notch until something smaller and less impactful comes out

[@Weather_Nerd]

I used to use android and have always been a fan of both ecosystems, but the S23U was the first android to tempt me in so many years since they caught (back) up in battery life and cpu performance got a tad bit closer. I really like iOS though never cared for much customization and Apple easily has the most consistency between color etc in their camera lenses plus less shutter lag but I am also with you on that, my next upgrade might be whatever Galaxy is newest by then. Two things about android appeal to me: split screen multitasking, and EASILY TRANSFERRING PHOTOS TO AND FROM THE DEVICE ON A PC AS IF IT’S AN SD CARD. Damnit Apple

[@MarkRobey]

As a 16 Pro Max user, the camera control is definitely not gimmicky. Sure not everyone will use it, but as a photographer I find that I have been using camera control a lot. I’ve been wanting a button similar to this on my phone for years. I think the placement is a little off, but I believe that is because they want people to use it in both portrait and landscape mode.

I also predicted that the ProMotion would be discontinued in a conversation I had with someone this week and 120hz would be shifted across the board, as Apple’s Tim Cook does a lot of Sales Analysis with the Apple Vision Pro and the next iPhone lineup will most likely be like the iPads. The iPhone 17, 17 Mini, 17 Air and 17 Pro models would be all getting 48MP with the 120hz OLED displays and ProMotion will be discontinued or upgraded to 240hz displays.

For at least 5 years with the most recent iOS plus like 2 -3 year security updates she will need to buy the next iPhone at 92, provided she can still use it. She needs hearing aids that only work with an iPhone and at a later time could take advantage of the accessibility features. Why should she not upgrade to a phone that lasts her one year longer than the iPhone 15 pro max? The cost difference is negligible considering the price tag including full apple care+ coverage covering theft and loss. Not everyone buys the newest phones. I define a set of features I need and then use the phone until an upgrade is worth the price. I upgraded from the iPhone 7 plus to the iPhone 14 pro max. Next stop is in 5 - 6 years.

[@ADPeguero]

So far I've upgraded to the top model iPhone every year since the original. This time around I held off, for now. Got tired of tiny Tim obviously holding off on upgrades. I kind of had buyer's remorse last year when I upgraded from the 14 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max since there wasn't that much of a difference. Among the differences was they upgraded the regular camera sensor from 12 Megapixels to 48. This time around they did the same but for the ultra-wide sensor but left the telephoto at 12 Megapixels and at 5x Zoom. To me it's obvious they're making as little upgrades as possible so they can have more for the next phone. It wouldn't surprise me if they're leaving a full camera upgrade (all sensors at 48 MP or greater and at least 10x Zoom) for the 17 Pro Max next year. These KZbinrs and Apple Analysts have been expecting an under the screen selfie camera and no dynamic island for the last 3 years or so. Will we finally see it next year? Who knows. Apple couldn't even bother to update the Bluetooth to 5.4 in these devices. Say what you all will but Apple did not convince me enough to buy in this year. Also, WTF is this sand color? It's light Rose Gold is what it is. Honestly, had the Apple Watch been compatible with Android I would've dumped the iPhone a long time ago. There's no innovation coming from Apple these days.

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I am going to wait to upgrade to the 17, as the 16 Pro Max is just the 12,13,14, & 15 Pro Max with a “non-button” on the side. Plus people are getting tired of Apple not giving better color options to the Pro Max line, and your biggest feature is “improved battery life.” Tim Cook is dropping the ball year by year, and as long as your iPhone is in great shape, and works fine, why waste money on a phone that’s slightly better than the one you already own?

When I zoomed into the comparison images in Photoshop, I could see there is a night and day image quality between the 14P 3X and the 16PM's 5X - cropped in to make the subject in the photos appear the same size. The 16PM wins hands down - it's quite obvious.

I bought the 16 pro, i am waiting for it to ship but I bought it for what it is today, that being an upgrade from my iphone 12. I do find it funny when people say not to buy the iphone 16 because a large part of ios 18… that is coming soon… isn’t out just yet… and you should instead wait for the 17 because of a bunch of rumours. The same or similar rumours that also were going around about the iphone 15!

Its better that Apple releases a new Iphone every 2 years.

I'm still gonna get the 16 pro

[@khoifoto]

120hz is the only reason I buy the pro!

I got a 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max in Desert Titanium and I love it the only thing about it I don't like is the fact that Apple Intelligence isn't available yet

[@bearndrgn]

I am upgrading due to battery health on my 14 pro max along with the bigger screen and most importantly the USBC. I have been getting more and more annoyed with having to take a different charger around with me. My current phone and one other peripheral that I have are the only ones using lightening still. Not counting my essentially dead 2014 Mac mini (video card does not work anymore so no monitor will connect to it).

Drop Tim apple he’s hurting the company

A plastic iphone se would be cool, i can use it without a case

[@garrickmusic]

I'm coming from an iPhone 8, so the 16 Pro is going to be a MASSIVE upgrade and the learning curve for me with iOS 18 is going to be daunting enough as it is without the AI. Gives me some time get used to the new features before the AI and better Siri ships. Pro Tip: Wait to upgrade every 6 to 8 years and you'll never be disapointed, lads. 😂

But why people still buying this phone even i waiting for the official release here in philippines

[@RobertDandino]

I applaud your ability to stay positive with what apple has given up. Regrettably, I’ll be leaving Apple as a whole once my iPhone 15 PM has died.

[@joshuafleischer9264]

I’m disappointed that in order to use Apple Intelligence an iPhone 15 or newer is required. That to me is a huge mistake. I have spoken to many people that have the ability to upgrade, but will not on principal. As large of a company as Apple is and as much resources as they have, they could’ve designed Apple Intelligence to work with all of the phones that support iOS 18.

In a year or so we'll look back and speak about the Apple iPhone 16 catastrophy release without AI.
