iPhone 16 & 16 Pro - First 23 Things To Do! (Tips & Tricks)

[@BrandonButch]

What do y'all think about RHINOSHIELD's iPhone 16 Cases? url.rhinoshield.io/brandon16 (use code BRANDON for 10% off)

[@SalinaStarr]

I usually buy rhinoshield but I hate how they have a cut out for camera control so I went for one of the OtterBox cases that Apple sells. Also, I have the regular iPhone 16 and did not have the option to switch to swipe under the camera control settings. Also, audio mix sounds almost exactly like the mic you used for this video. Really good!

[@BrandonButch]

@@SalinaStarr as someone with cases with and without the cutout, the cutout is the way to go. And I said the opposite for the action button: I prefer the button on the action button. I just find the cover to interfere more with the delicate presses than the cutout does. Personal preference though! And yes, audio mix is so awesome!

[@SalinaStarr]

@@BrandonButchI meant I bought an otterbox from apple because it has the sapphire crystal cover that works seamlessly with camera control, eliminating the need for the cut-out completely.

[@BrandonButch]

@@SalinaStarr yeah I have multiple with the sapphire crystal, I prefer the cutout. I think it’ll just come down to personal preference!

[@davidnewsham896]

I’ve just posted a comment re this - your discount code does not work

[@MichaelMHl5]

We should all start a campaign for Apple to finally give us a professional course on how to make the most of their cameras and all the tricks they offer. At least for beginners like me lol

[@LukmanMannir]

And they should just tell us which screen protectors we can use without having a nightmare hahaha

[@Ethanxz1969]

I use Vionentus screen protectors. The touch sensitivity is great.. I could cry when I touch an iPhone screen that feels totally rough.. 😭

[@xblowsmokex]

Spigen screen protectors are good and easy to install. They also have camera lens protectors

[@aaronbaumgartner1863]

we offer free courses at every apple store, it‘s called today at apple.

[@CastroJordan]

Flolab is the best screen protector money can buy. Doesn't apple already do these things at their stores? I remember seeing little classes going on showing old people how to use their iphones.

[@poetsdreamsatc]

Thanks Brandon for all your info and suggestions for the iPhone Pro camera button. I bought the 16 Pro Max but had the same issues. After your video on adjusting the settings, now it works great. You helped me so much. Thank you! Debbie

[@BrandonButch]

Awesome Debbie, glad I was able to help! And thank you for the tip, I appreciate it!

[@poetsdreamsatc]

@@BrandonButch you’re so very welcome. You’re such a treasure and wealth of info! I appreciate you. Thanks again.

Brandon’s my friend can I get 20$

[@marclattoni1959]

Thanks!

[@keydowney7044]

Thank you! Some of these things I knew but a good portion I did not. I’m less overwhelmed now and I just got my husband to join over and he has the pro now. Your video is super helpful 😊

[@Rainroaming]

Camera control button is so intuitive to me, ive had almost no issues adjusting

[@BrandonButch]

That’s good to hear! Most everyone is overly negative about it

[@J1dy.24]

How do you use the camera control button if you have a case on???

[@Elizas1965]

It's not that I want to be picky, but this new iPhone has me disappointed, so much so that after thinking about it so much I'm going to change it. My 15pro is like new, I just have to change the case, which is worn out.

[@pondbrad47]

I had to change it because the battery of my 15 was damaged but otherwise I still had it, and with respect to the cases where I bought mine, they also have it available for yours, which are the Vionentus Elites.

[@Elizas1965]

Good tip, I'll check them out later in my free time or when I get off work.

[@robertwahlfeld2104]

I'm a real dummy. I can't even turn the new 16 on or off. Screen is locked on some camera showing a square and a sun symbol. From there I can't get it to do anything.

[@mike__5kp]

+1 for Vionentus, the leather case it's very elegant and fits my iPhone 16 pm perfectly

[@yavuzs7]

It's important to keep the iPhone in good shape with a strong case.

[@tabdanger510]

you can either double tap or force touch the camera control button to activate the secondary camera settings

[@JimmieNajmi]

I just got my 16 today and your video help me so much to getting started with 🙏🏻 thank you so much

[@BrandonButch]

I know I'm not the only one who struggled BAD with the camera control button at first 😭💀

[@AwesomeAustn]

I didn't get the iPhone 16, but the button seems awkward and hard to reach naturally, without going up and over or across the screen.

[@GomarThePotato]

my friend got a pro and i gotta say, i wasn’t expecting the camera control to actually be in perfect reach for me! idk, i really want the plus 😭😭😭

[@poetsdreamsatc]

I could not get the button to work smoothly at all. THANK YOU for the tips on adjusting the sensitivity. Works perfectly now thanks to your guidance!

[@artfartzy]

I ended up turning the button off, found it faster to just touch the screen

[@realquadmoo]

I’m gonna go to the Apple Store and get it right first try and then come back here and brag about it

[@bryanwoolbertmusic]

I like how the studio setting reduced reverb but I don’t like how it removed quite a bit of bass from your voice. As an audio engineer I would be very curious as to the ‘chain’ of events (both hardware and software) that Apple is using to deliver these options and what they are ACTUALLY doing. Maybe a deep dive at some point?

[@BrandonButch]

True, I agree. I will keep testing it out and report back if I uncover/research anything noteworthy!

[@bryanwoolbertmusic]

@@BrandonButch Thank you I really appreciate that! Also I bought a 16 pro max white titanium 1TB but it’s on back order. They’re telling me as late as October 28th. OOOF!

[@BrandonButch]

@@bryanwoolbertmusic oh wow! That’s crazy. Seems it’s more popular than people on tech twitter/youtube would have you believe! 😅

[@Mrpremium9870]

Am I the only one who got the hang of the new camera control functions 1st try and find it really easy to use. It’s way faster than tryna find then open up the camera app highly recommend saves you so much time when tryna get that instant shot before it gets messed up.

[@Jme62]

I think I’m too old to understand the whole styles thing. I’m not getting it

[@cosmicsbrownies2985]

Nah fax it’s super easy

[@IvanReyes-ub7bd]

Actually I thought it was weird but I thought I got the hang of it really quickly and I use it often😅 people online complained it’s a gimmick but I use it a lot

[@kava2214]

Same lol

[@ilovefootball72000]

Not me Watching this video before Christmas😂

[@gokulshyam8697]

Could you help me at what percentage should I plug in the charge ? Should I maintain 20-80 for a better battery health /life ????

[@twanastanley2014]

he said between 80 to 90 percent

[@davidbillberg2203]

Thanks for showing how to enable the 48mp on the iPhone 16, I didn't know it!

[@lisaplanty]

Hi there the last tip about the volume you mentioned it works on iPhone 16 however I do not see the adjustment to edit the video volume. Thanks for all your great tips.

[@stoopidmonkey9100]

Im paying for applecare+ should i still lower the battery limit?

[@Ashghaus]

Your up at 4am recording this video, thank you for your hard work ❤❤❤

[@Simply.everything.skywalker]

I love my iPhone 16 I just got it on Sunday and I’m learning more and more about it this video really helped me so thanks! ❤ also may have to get a new phone case that you mentioned I already have one but I’d take another

[@Ryno639]

Just bought the Ultramarine iPhone 16 Plus today so this is the perfect video for tips, Happy to say you’re the only channel I come to to keep up to date with everything Apple! Keen to go through the rest of your IOS 18/Iphone 16 vids for even more nuggets! 👀👀

[@LK-on6rw]

mine is coming tomorrow and I can't wait. I wasn't going to upgrade until the release of the SE, but when my 12 mini became severely water damaged a week after the 16's release I figured was a sign lol

[@abelow9721]

How do you tint single icons different? For instance your Phone and Message App is full green, the KZbin app ist full red.

[@leslyfranco4196]

Just updated from iPhone 12 to 16 loving it so far ❤ but took forever to get.

[@chasehaha]

I think that the Studio option for audio mix just makes it sound like the microphone is closer to your mouth and less tinny. It definitely sounds better than default audio that's for sure.

[@BrandonButch]

Agreed! It's very impressive

[@realquadmoo]

I think the real studio mic actually sounds better but if you raised the volume of the playback of the studio mode on iPhone I think it would maybe(?) sound better

[@FiniteSteakMachine]

For faster wired charging, the current understanding is that you need a charger that supports 15V @ 3A. It doesn't matter if it supports higher voltages or total wattage, it has to support 15V specifically.

[@BrandonButch]

Yep. I have a video coming on this soon Edit: I did, but the difference was negligible so I scrapped the vid

[@Midazolag]

Hi there. What wallpaper have you got there on the iphone 16? I quite like the colour scheme.

[@BrandyMWard]

I love the new Photos application, I have customized it the way that I like it, overall I really like the new design.

[@BrandonButch]

Same! It's is much better than iOS 17 once customized

[@realquadmoo]

I like it too but for some reason I can’t zoom in when I searxh

[@MrMom950]

Great Tips! Learned a ton from this... I'm still overwhelmed... but at least now I have a video to come back to check on what i keep forgetting! Thanks!

[@BrandonButch]

Thanks! It is definitely a lot to consume at once 😅

[@tabdanger510]

why doesn't rhino shield cover the camera control button?

[@ronakjindal585]

Bro then how will you press it 😭😭

[@mickiesadventures]

Thank you for taking the time to make this videos!

[@bobpacheco6919]

I have watched this a few times ow and am learning more each time but I can't seem to get audio mix in my videos. They all have sound but my screen when go into the edit mode there is no audio mix mode. I have the 16pro so what else do I need to do to make this active. Thank you

[@MrDieseldog]

Cant find the record phone call button on iphone 16...does not appear what have i missed ?

[@jillpearson7958]

Just looked tried to see the audio record function with a phone call but I didn’t have the wave form option? Do you have to activate it?

[@SpyderMan4]

Hey Brandon I have a problem with my camera button, I have to double click it to launch the camera even tho I have it on “single click “ in the settings .

[@ibsn87]

This would have taken AGES to research. And film. And teach. Document, edit etc. Well done. And thank you. I’m a massive tech consumer, very computer savvy, but this is quite an overwhelming amount of feature changes!! I almost have feature utilization FOMO.

[@BrandonButch]

Thanks! There are quite a few more changes than it seems on the surface!

[@sillymikey]

Are you getting some really serious battery drain on your 16 pro max? Indexing finished 2 days ago, still draining 😢

[@BrandonButch]

How much zoom does the iPhone 16 Pro max have in camera? ( pls answer)

[@BrandonButch]

Same as 15 Pro Max

[@nikeshakaumali6819]

Hello your video is very useful. Today I bought the iphone 16 and made several setting changes and finally I ended up by highlighting my front camera with a black strip. I see that in your video also. Your front camera is also highlighted in balck. Pls help me to undo that

[@ionlysk8vans]

What’s the difference between HEIF max and JPEG max ?? And how do I set it to JPEG MAX?

[@BunkeredGaming]

23:29

[@externalplayz]

difference between HEIF max and JPEG max is that HEIF is a different file compression and keep less data than JPEG, JPEG MAX is better, but takes up more space.

[@ionlysk8vans]

@@externalplayzthank you so much

[@AnandaGarden]

I like my iPhone 16 Pro, but may return it, as no one can tell me if Audio Max works with ProRes LOG footage; and no one, including Apple, can tell me how to change Audio Max settings for LOG clips (if it's available for LOG) in an external editor. In Fairlight I see just two audio tracks with ProRes LOG clips. I assume from this that (a) ProRes LOG doesn't record Audio Mix; and (b) if I shoot in other formats, maybe the phone will record a separate audio track for each Audio Mix setting so that I can choose the one I like in an external editor.

[@CL-bu8mh]

how come I don't see the jpeg option when I'm in my camera app on my 16 pro? Did I miss something? 🤔

[@BrandonButch]

It's for Most Compatible

[@timbarron496]

Love all your iPhone videos. The studio mix definitely sounds better to me.

[@adriantorres7858]

I have my phone set to 90 and i accidentally forgot it was charging it still charged to 100% so i don’t think tha battery thing works the way ur explaining it

[@user-zr7kz4vs7c]

May i ask will iPhone 16 get slower 5G speed compared to iPhone 16 Pro? Thanks

[@ictoan]

There is nothing called ‘slower’ 5g speeds between models. If they both have 5g then it will be the same speed.

[@cflynn3684]

This video was super informative unlike all the other clickbaity iPhone 16 videos out there. I am so glad I came here because I would never have been able to get my camera to 48mp, and I was able to configure my phone to 4k60 video. Default it was set to 1080p30 and I was wondering why the video quality wasn’t looking better than my 13 lol. I also became accustomed to the camera button. Thank you

[@guapitoguapito594]

Sir my iPhone 16 is showing proRaw&resolution control and HEIF max and other is raw max???

[@ruffaandreajimena7233]

Hi Brandon, just want to ask how can i enabled the call record?

[@hunterbsmith]

I’m pretty sure you couldn’t shoot ProRes on the 128GB version of previous Pro phones. I can do it on mine though.

[@matteog535]

Whats the best video camera setting for Instagram Stories?

[@dianaestrella413]

Great video! Is there a way to transfer all the login and passwords for all the apps. That's my worst fear, having to login into them all over again and forget some of the passwords.

[@Chopper153]

When setting up your iPhone 16, use the "transfer from iphone" option. Then you can choose what apps you want to transfer.

[@joejordbakke881]

Which icon set is this? Is it a theme?

[@garronphillip]

I was unaware of most of these features! Now I’m getting the most out of my 16 Pro! Thank You!

[@artfartzy]

You have your phone on silent all the time Brandon? If so how to do hear if someone calls you or sends you a text, or when you get a notification from reminders or any other app?

17:06 Are the new photographic styles exclusive for the pros?

No, all 16’s

[@largon2008]

the only thing i don't like about the photo app is when you take a photo 16:9 and you tap it it minimizes and also if you press settings it gets smaller again if you want to edit it. i would like it to stay the same size and the setting menu can just pop up without minimizing the picture size. Same thing happens with videos. Other than that i don't have a problem with it.

Nice! Finally getting to understand some of the camera format options and just found out too that photographic styles don't work with pro raw or JPEG XL, only with HEIF files. Is that accurate or am I missing something? Was hoping Pro Raw images would also allow adjusting for undertones, just for quick edits within the Photos app.

[@garethalston]

@@CarlosBarronJr yeah mine same also if I don’t use Heif files my photographic styles won’t show either. I can use al the JPEG ones though with it on my 16 pro max. I have jpeg lossless, jpeg xl lossless and jpeg xl lossy and can use photographic styles with all aslong as I use heif files.
