iPhone 16/16 Pro Event Recap! Apple Watch Series 10, AirPods 4 & More!

[@tulley50]

At this point, iPhones have become cameras that can make phone calls 😆

[@hyperactiv8]

Name another phone that ISN'T that? That is, quite literally, every phone that is released annually.

[@chillingpapi5981]

Seems Apple is going the way of Samsung on releasing phones and then later updating the software to release to the new phone. Most of these "features" are software related and not released on day one of release. To me this is not a day one need, so I'm holding off until the 17; currently on the iPhone XR.

[@BC08]

Phone, camera, wallet, internet browser, etc., etc.

[@hectorvaz1402]

90% of people won’t use that camera button to the full potential, maybe only to access the camera app faster and that’s it … because you can use the volume buttons to take photos for years and most people still click the screen to take photos

[@razorwing75]

Considering most people use a cases on their phone, this button will become worse or awkward when it’s in a case. I’m very curious how companies will incorporate this new button.

[@londongoingelectricfan3107]

The only thing I was disappoints about 16 pro is they didn’t update the storage from 128 to 256

[@Bartonhockey08]

I am 34 years old I have been wearing hearing aids since I was 12 playing sports such as baseball and hockey I graduated high school and college with a four-year degree and have a very professional job making six figures. I can’t express how great this feature is going to be as an alternative option in a pinch to where the AirPods Pro 2 as a hearing aid. I have already done this with the transparency mode in customizing the settings to optimize the best and loudest transparency, but I sure hope that the hearing aid feature is extremely improved. I do, however, will know that there are limitations that the software update will not be able to fix such as the six hour battery life That will not get you through a full day with the AirPods as hearing aids.

[@danielvelkovski3156]

Idk if you know, but I was able to upload my hearing chart into the iphone audio settings and it sounds amazing. Not just being able to hear better but the bass is heavier and the music came to life. Way better than stock with those new equalizer settings.

[@alinaif192]

Apple did us dirty on AirPods Max . It don’t have the H2 chip still but it’s more expensive than AirPods Pro 2 . That’s a bad apple

[@dapperlygrungy3189]

I remember when I used to be excited of the new iPhone release. I'd wait in anticipation for the Keynote. This year, I forgot the Keynote was yesterday. I watched only your video late yesterday just to see what the new iPhone and features looked like. Am I the only one that just doesn't care anymore about having a new iPhone? Or have I become more practical about things? I have a 12 Pro Max and may wait to upgrade next year or even the year after. My priorities in life are different now.

[@danielvelkovski3156]

I went from 11pro max to 14 pro max and I swear the 11 pro max took way better pics. The computational stuff Apple does to the pics is overrated. I wish I could undo that digital processing.

[@masterkillahx]

Not excited as much as I used to be, but I’ll never hold onto a phone for that long. Holy crap, a 12 pro max???

[@EdenfieldBandJax]

As a 42 yr old, who has played in bands since I was a teen, been to many, many concerts, and have hearing issues now, these new hearing features sound incredible. I’ll be upgrading to air pods pro 2 for sure…. As soon as the feature is actually released. lol never buy something on the promise of an update. Wait for the update!

[@larrygoad2141]

The 16 Pro Max doesn't move the needle enough for me personally to upgrade from my 13 Pro Max. I'll wait another year.

[@GratiaCountryman]

One of the most exciting things about the presentation is that they took a field trip to Golden Gate Park to film it. I’m also excited about the iPhone 16 Pro. I love the camera on it.

[@knightowl7]

I’m excited about the software update for AirPods . The hearing aid feature will be a game changer, for many people 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥

[@ThePensmith78]

Pretty much the only feature I’m excited for. That and Apple intelligence which isn’t even being shipped with the phones.

[@garyleow70]

iPhone 16 with A18 is more than sufficient for the everyday person. And then you compare the price of this basic model to the other similarly priced android phones, iPhone 16 is clear winner in most metrics, except 60 hertz refresh rate and 128gb memory.

[@jerseyreddevil3139]

The headset (AirPods max) “upgrade” was disappointing. I have been waiting to buy an actual upgraded model.

[@RyanLewis2837]

So, I have a valid question others may wonder… how will the camera button features work with a case. It seems like it would be hard to use with an extended button, and a cutout seems like it would be hard to function with how flat the button is to the frame… I know you’re not a case designer, I’m just throwing that thought out to you and the crowd 🤔

[@yanislavvalkov9884]

Im happy with my 15pro max. Next stop 17pro max :)

Is it worth the upgrade if I currently have a 2 year old iPhone 14 Pro? 🤔

[@dman7895]

that 4k 120fps gonna be like 1 gig every couple seconds hhahaha

5:33 thanks for that. I was debating whether I should change my 6 year old iPad Pro or my iPhone 14 Pro Max.

[@leebeeskee]

Thank you for not being one of those whingy whiney KZbinrs that always feel like Apple owes them or something and just moan that the phones are similar in look etc. You just mentioning the couple of changes to the AirPods Max and then not complaining about it is so refreshing to see from someone on KZbin. I hate when other humans dampen my excitement for products that I have ordered!

At least at the 541 mark when you’re recommending upgrades from 12 or 13 pros just based off the capture button I think you’re missing out. At this point in the video, you haven’t mentioned Apple Intelligence yet which I think people will love and utilize quite a bit

[@aliettienne2907]

2:53 Maybe it's just a little bit of learning curve to understand the camera control functions. With a little practice people should get the hung of it. 3:16 If the preset can enable you to visually gain a quick preview of the intended shot, then is some serious productivity feature. Apple has turn their phone into a studio professional camera. Sound fabulous 👍🏾. 4:43 The ease of use to change the color balance is seriously next level productivity and creativity. Every step and preset action is just so on-the-fly and buttery smooth. It's magical! 😀.

[@kwfown]

What about for those coming from XR, worth the upgrade? When will Apple stop supporting XR?

[@rydellster]

I was REALLY disappointed that the 16 Pro Max siding have more upgrades to the camera, especially going to the 10x optical zoom and at least 50x quality AI digital zoom. I upgrade every year but my 15 Pro Max 1TB seems very close in specs to the 16 version. I mean they didn’t even offer 2TB yet! But the longer optical zoom was a must as their competitors have been there for a while.

[@RabbyCalicdan]

ditto, I am a fanboy but this is not exciting, Apple really stretches the lifespan of their factory molds

"Disgusting"? Calm down, Matthew. Don't buy the watch. Why would you complain? You aren't forced to purchase anything that you don't find value in.

[@TheKidsWearCrowns]

They did you a favor and didn’t entice you enough to part with your hard earned dollars. That sounds like a benefit to me

[@hummersd]

What were you expecting? If you don’t like the line up this year, stick to what you have. I was hoping for years of a radical Watch design change which hasn’t happened, so I’m keeping my Watch for as long as I can. If you were expecting a price drop without a new replacement model, Apple typically doesn’t do that. As for KZbinrs, they’re just reporting what they observe, whether positive or not.

[@stevewturnbull]

However well designed, I've always hated fiddling with the camera interface on the iPhone screen so I'm really excited about the new control. Might even have to dump my Fjorden Grip and buy the iPhone 16 Pro :)

[@LifeWithaTy]

I got a iPhone 14 Pro Max can we get a new design? I’m tired of seeing the same design over and over.

[@DHeld]

Camera haptic button seems to be as imperative and useful as the MacBook slide bar. With a case on your phone… it seems useless, prone to mistakes, and likely to take longer than just using the app.

[@matttay9937]

For years there were rumors they were moving towards an iPhone with NO buttons. And now we're ADDING buttons? I don't want more things to accidentally hit with my fingers. I already have a hard time not accidentally grabbing the camera lenses when taking it from a pocket, or blocking part of them when quickly fumbling to take a picture since they take up half the back of the phones. I wish Apple kept a simpler model for people who don't want to brag they had "more more more." And bring back those rounded edges... they were so much more comfortable to hold!😭

[@backatbragg]

Agreed on the buttons. I don’t need another button. But we are in a selfie generation and that’s the target audience.

[@wantingasecondchance3931]

I’ve got the 1t 14 pro max. The only reasons I’ll upgrade is for the AI capabilities, larger screen, battery life, getting rid of lightning and that new color brown.

[@sameersheriff7078]

Let me break this down to you !!! firtsly so called ai stuff isnt out yet and wont be out for next couple of months and still its not clear if it'll work as apple intended , secondly larger screen will make iphones almost the size of iPad mini and it maybe bit uncomfortable to fit in our pockets and use it with one hand , thirdly battery life is supposed to be increasing year by year according to apple but still there isnt much difference in real time use case except for maybe 13pros then the last that colour is appears as p**p !! just kidding i meant not worth for upgrade for that alone !! Use your 14PM for another year and wait at least till 17 !!!

[@danielvelkovski3156]

I have the same exact phone and those are terrible reasons to upgrade. Only worth it if for the cameras (pro-res 4k120fps, 48 MegaPixel in ultrawide & macro mode, color grading abilities). The rest you listed you won’t see a difference.

Im REALLY hoping they apply more optional functionality to the Camera Button, that goes beyond the camera. I wonder if they chose to go solely with Camera functional due to its obvious placement as a natural horizontal camera button. When not held in that position, the button placement may be to awkward?

I’m curious as to why no one’s ever hyped about the pro max and only talks about the smaller, regular phones or goes to the pro and that’s it? Am I missing something or am I weird for thinking this way?

[@briantong]

It's different for different people. I know plenty that love the Max.

[@hodasamadi7903]

I presume they didn't want to upgrade the hardware to Airpod Max because they didn't want to add "Adaptive Transparency," which a person would most likely use outdoors. They don't want you to use it outdoors because it isn't waterproof/dustproof, etc... The reason they didn't want to do that was probably because they would have had to change the entire design of the AirPods Max since they likely prefer the comfort/aesthetics of the mesh design. Thus, there would be no reason to upgrade the hardware or redesign it for outdoor use and are pushing users to get the Beats Studio Pro with lossless for those reasons instead.

[@christicampbell7858]

The event was well done as always, but WEIRD! I mean Apple was like “see all these new features?! Great, huh?! Well can’t have them till later”. REALLY Apple?! ANDDDDDD everything starts off at 128gb with the 60hz refresh rate on the base model! I just don’t get why Apple can’t get together. 🤦‍♀️
