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!

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.

[@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???

[@marclattoni1959]

Thanks!

[@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

[@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?

[@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 ????

[@davidbillberg2203]

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

[@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😂

[@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.

[@chasehaha]

Brandon why are you recording at 3:00AM-4:30AM? you must be a night owl.

[@jeffswan2049]

It's pm

[@BrandonButch]

@@jeffswan2049 no, it’s definitely AM lol. It’s typical during iPhone season

[@jeffswan2049]

[@mickiesadventures]

Thank you for taking the time to make this videos!

[@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

[@tabdanger510]

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

[@stoopidmonkey9100]

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

[@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

[@louier1605]

"I am always on silent mode" Bro, I feel you! leave me alone. lol

[@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

[@GregoriusAM]

Dang, your videos are so good and so informational! I use all of my Apple devices much better by watching your videos and learning. Thank you! 😊

[@JNx0]

The new photos app is super good to be honest. Very simple and easy to use for all ages, and if you want to customize it you have the option too.

[@Ashghaus]

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

[@AllDogsAllDay]

[@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! 👀👀

[@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.

[@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

[@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! 😅

[@timbarron496]

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

[@abelow9721]

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

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.

[@sovannay9540]

Love to watch first before I might update my iPhone 14 Pro Max to 16 pro max because the charge is C is same as my (10) generation tablet and hate to switch from usb charge B to C

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

[@BunkeredGaming]

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.

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.

@@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.

just a heads up guys if you choose to use pro raw & apple prores it will eat your memory up because of huge file sizes, those options should be used with a memory bank attached to the phone so goes straight in the memory bank!

Could be your acoustic environment but there seems to be a major lack of noise gate on the iPhone mics, made it really hard to compare the differences between the studio and default settings
