[@EverythingGizmo]

I like how you said, “the Capture Button feels like a gimmick and I went back to using the touchscreen”. Apple and *some* reviewers have been overhyping his new button like it’s the next best thing since sliced bread. But this button was not necessary and I wonder if Apple will ever remove the additional buttons. Good review as always.

CAPTURE BUTTON: I don’t care for the features as much. But the button is very useful if I’m trying to record something in a second. Click the button to activate camera and initially starts recording and I’ve caught so many moments already that I would’ve missed using the touch screen

[@Jeff-oo9br]

Great cinematography as usual, I really love the places you’ve picked to test out the photo shots! 📷 Looks like iPhone 16 is quite an upgrade from the previous models mainly for its camera, but I agree that outside of that Apple really needs to catch up on the AI department as compared to their competitors! Hopefully there will be some major upgrades in this area later in the year, keen to see this as a long-time iPhone user!

Awesome video! That video quality is no joke! I’m upgrading from a 12 pro!

[@chaeugene]

Super helpful, since I'm still debating whether to upgrade. Appreciate the balanced perspective!

[@The.JZA.]

I kind of agree about the Dex thing but at the same time I'm not that fussed about having a desktop interface. What I want is to be able to plug my phone into a monitor and output a game at native resolution of the screen that I am plugged in to and have the phone screen turn off to save power. This way I could play COD Warzone or something like that, with a BT controller and have my phone sit there with the screen off just pushing the image to the display. This would save power and heat.

[@sm5339]

very well structured review!

[@toomass2668]

I agree with everything you say in the video. I would just add that the biggest issue with most reviews (yours excluded) is that they keep comparing the phone only to last year model. And while it is legit argument I feel like every manufacturer has the same issue. They keep releasing the "S" versions of the last year model rather than "new" model. And that goes to Samsung as well as Pixel etc. So I think this Iphone 16 pro is for someone with older iphone like 12 or even 11 and not for someone with 15. I think Apple should have marketed it in this way and there would have been no issues. But overall nice review and cannot wait for my preordered iphone 16 pro max (coming from iphone 12 pro max) I am most looking forward to 120hz display and better battery life as my 12 pro max battery is very bad. I am also someone who changed their phone every 4 years so it is about time anyways :P

[@UzitheSaint]

Yep, I still have my XS max for 5-6 years , upgrading to the 16 pro max. Looked at the comparison with my current phone and this will be a big upgrade for me😂

[@dpkingoffreestyle]

I would recommend getting iPhone 14 or 15 I still love as today the only difference about 16 is camera control in u can shoot 4k 120fps but still have same features like others iPhones

[@The.JZA.]

I hope that the overheating is just a software issue that will be resolved. The 15 Pro Max had a similar issue when it was new and that got resolved pretty quickly. I have a 15 Pro Max and generally it runs pretty cool. If I am doing intensive stuff then it does get warm but never so hot that it's uncomfortable or worrying. Probably not great for the battery to get that warm though. I'm holding out for the 17 Pro Max and then I'll give my 15 Pro Max to my GF.

[@iris5989]

Thank you for your honesty.

Great review Andrew. Thank You

I currently have an iPhone 12 pro max. I'm wanting to upgrade to this new iPhone 16 pro max... but after seeing this video now I'm worried... You said it overheats..? I don't wanna deal with that. My 12 has NEVER overheated before or gave me a warning about it having to cool down... so now I'm not sure what to do.

It will rarely overheat, I’m guessing you’ll be fine unless you live in a very hot climate and take 4K videos that are several minutes long.

I‘m a student and on a budget but need to upgrade my old IPhone 11. Most important things to me are the battery life and the camera. I would buy the 256gb version I don‘t like big phones. Should I buy the IPhone 16 or 16 pro?

[@coziworth]

Honestly it may be expensive now but I say you should go for 16 pro . It's guaranteed longevity with 120hz and if you're into video taking and editing it's stupid how good it is ..... If you don't care that much about video taking or refresh rate the regular 16 may be better it has almost every feature of the pro except for some camera stuff and data transfer speed

Why do people keep on saying that design needs to be changed?? I don't get it, the design style of Iphones is already iconic it doesn't have to change. In fact a lot of phones like pixel, Samsung, and Chinese phones try to emulate the same design so why change it??? Its like sayinng porsche needs to change how their cars look even though it was the design that made their cars iconic and legendary.

[@The.JZA.]

Can you get that vibrant look using photographic styles? I mean just like colourful, not some wacky moody look. I have tried with the Photographic styles on the iPhone 15 Pro Max and by increasing warmth slightly and changing to tone towards the vibrant end you can kind of brighten up the photos a bit but you can't really increase the saturation. I don't always want this look but it is nice to have it sometimes.

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Good question, if you want more control Lightroom and presets are still the way to go 9/10 times. Use photographic styles for a quick “look” but it’s limited in what it can do

[@The.JZA.]

@@AndrewEthanZeng Thanks! I usually just use the magic wand in the photo editor in the default photos app and then slide the slider left-right until it looks about right haha. I know it's pretty low-brow but it works for me. If I have a really special photo then I will start playing with individual settings but the magic wand works pretty well most of the time.

I got tired of the size/weight of my 14 Pro Max. I decided to get the 16 Pro, it should be here early in the week. Black Titanium 256g. I thought the 11 Pro Max at 6.5" was the perfect size, but the 6.3 will be fine. I likely won't use the AI much but the better zoom will be nice. Battery also shouldn't be an issue as I don't usually go beyond an hour to an hour and a half screen time in a day. I enjoyed the video. Thanks!

I would easily take an OS overhaul vs a newer chip at this point. The 15 Pro is already a beast, I’d rather have things like split screen apps, reverse wireless charging, etc. I also would prefer to keep the 3x on the Pro vs the 5x, or give it both like Samsung.
