iPhone 16 & 16 Pro - Honest Impressions!

[@91Tech]

I can't say I'm too excited about these iPhones, but I also am already using a very recent model myself- how about all of you, anyone planning on buying the iPhone 16 or 16 Pro?

[@SoundHoundStudios999]

@@91Tech I’m on the XR and my phone still works but it is very slow and the battery life is not reliable enough. I will probably get the regular 16 because I would like 120hz but I do not want to have to spend the extra money on another pro again. The cameras on the regular 16 are good enough for me and I am sure that iOS will be a lot more stable on a brand new cpu compared to one from 2018. The only issue I have with the 16 comped to the 15 is that the large otter box case that I would buy would probably cause issues with the camera control slider but maybe the case manufacturer will figure that out.

Yes,as a person having experience with sales and marketing, I also felt like using A18 label instead of A17 on the chip seemed like a marketing move to entice the audience and to showcase that by buying iPhone 16 means jumping by 2 generating with this chip which in reality is false. As people already know that it is developed on a 2nd generation 3nm technology meaning that it is more optimized and power efficient than previous year and will not have a 2 generation boost as they claim, it is only a single generation chance.

I mean, if we go by the motto of an Apple fan, if it's working why fix or change it but it seemed like apple were forced to introduce this button as they themselves know that there is no big selling point present for this model of phone because Ai features would also come to iPhone 15 pro max. So if we think realistically, the only real minor upgrades was 15-20 improvement of performance, camera lens upgrade to 48 and software optimization and new features from camera and minor 200 mah increase of battery for 1200 USD phone seemed like a waste to me. I do like the Ai upgrades that they did this year but this will also come to iPhone 15 pro max around next year. So I think people should opt for iPhone 16 or iPhone 15 pro max if they are coming to upgrade from old iPhones as these devices are still worth it.

@@WolverineXOXO Really? One swipe of the screen and the camera app opens, is that REALLY so much harder than pressing a button? Granted TAKING the picture is more convenient with the dedicated button, until you remember that pressing 'volume down' takes a picture?

I use my phone (iPhone 14 pro max) all the time for Pokémon go and intense usage otherwise. Even with the occasional usage of a phone cooler, the overheating can be hard to manage and the battery is around 84% of its total health. This will be a much needed upgrade I think

[@dragonmaster1500]

I still have an old Iphone 8, was thinking about upgrading to the 15 Pro Max, but I guess I'm either getting a 16 pro max or waiting for the 17 next year, I'm not really in a rush. Would I like to have the upgraded camera with a built in LiDAR sensor? Sure would, but my Iphone 8 still works perfectly fine and sure, it's not getting IOS updates anymore, but it works for calling texting and maps. With regards to color, honestly, once I put the Iphone into am Otterbox case, to protect it from the rigors of being out in the field, I'm probably never actually going to see the the phone itself outside of the screen. So, I personal;ly couldn't care less about that bit, but I suppose I get why people are disapointed?

iPhone hasn’t been exiting since the 12 series I always look back on when the technology world was better as a whole

[@Historicutuber]

Im still rocking the 12. Seems fine to me honestly

I anticipated there will be nothing new with the iPhone 16 Pro compared from recent years. The wife and I decided to replace our 5 year old iPhones with foldable phones: I purchased in full a Samsung Z Fold 6 1TB Navy Blue and for me a Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold 512GB in Obsidian. I also purchased the corresponding Watches, accessories, and warranty. After using these devices for some time, we are not going back to using a non foldable phone anytime soon. Also, android has improved so much today that getting an iPhone for its OS is just a silly reason to stay with Apple.

[@KEVINPHONGDOH]

I’m coming from a iPhone SE (2nd Gen). Should I update this year to iPhone 16 or wait until iPhone 17? My battery life health is at 79% and I had the SE since launch. Thank you everyone and have a good day today.

[@Peacetranquility447]

I suggest buying a budget friendly device for now which will last a year with good battery life instead of struggling with iPhone SE poor battery life and than directly upgrade to iPhone 17 next year. BCS right now, Apple just did a marketing stunt and introduced useless features for a massive audience and I believe your hard earned 800-1200 USD is not worth this product. I suspect that due to low sales of this product apple might be forced to introduce useful features during next year 😮

[@zachywacky1]

I got a normal 12, and from AT&T I can literally get the 16 pro for free trading it in. Way better and slightly bigger screen, much better cameras (including 5x zoom), better battery life, more storage, thinner bezels, dynamic island, action button, camera control... yeah, it's a no brainer. I'm upgrading. The only thing I dislike is the colors, and I'm just gonna slap a case on anyway lol

Still on the iPhone XR (my 1st phone) but I might upgrade to the 16.

[@Z-Breezy301]

Same here, in between the Base 16 or the Pro, which one are you getting? I dont use my phone as much but damn the always on display is enticing and its the most powerful in terms of logenvity but idk for that price difference

[@SoundHoundStudios999]

@@Z-Breezy301 For me I have been considering upgrading to the pro but I do not want to in the future have to buy a pro because I would be too used to pro motion to go back to a regular model. I think it would be cool to have the pro, but I believe that the regular model has enough of the camera features and apple intelligence and it is also on a similar chipset so the update cycle would be the same most likely. Personally for me, I do not care about the always on display because I have an Apple Watch Series 6 that has that already. The extra camera would be a cool thing to have but I am not the best photographer and I don’t care for the special pro camera features. If you want the Pro features then it is a better option for you but right now I do not think it is worth the extra price as I am trying to save money for other stuff.

[@Pharaoh_The_Great]

Same.

[@SoundHoundStudios999]

There seems to be a lot more iPhone XR users than I thought because when I was in high school, my iPhone XR was always the older than everyone else’s phones. Many other people I know have the iPhone 12 or newer right now and many people that I know just upgraded from the 11 to the 15.

[@clydeosterhout1221]

The upcoming SE is getting so much hype that the 16 is going to be a hard sell. 95% of the capability, 60% of the cost sounds like a pretty good deal to me! I need to upgrade from my gen 2 SE, but I’m going to wait until the new SE is launched. It sounds like a winner!

[@dwightwilkinson]

I’m satisfied with the iPhone 16 pro max I don’t see the need to upgrade for AirPods 4 & going to keep last year ultra 2 watch no need to upgrade because of a color and nits brightness

[@alanzemsky7695]

Do you think it's worth waiting to upgrade from 13 to 16?

[@Thefrakenkraken]

I’d go cheaper and get the 15 pro its really not much of a jump from 15 pro to 16 pro

My 13 mini lives on another year. I’m not buying another phone until they make a new mini.

[@jake78441]

I got a XS and im still waiting for prices to come down on the 13 pro to upgrade. Jesus they still selling on third party sites for $450-$550 that's crazy...

[@HAMMYCFC]

I’ve got 11 pro max 256gb and series 5 watch might upgrade this year

[@Haktendoo]

Sticking to my 14 pro was going for the 16 pro but it’s nothing game changing for me. Hopefully the next iPhone all cameras are 48MP.

[@rafraf_ytaccnt]

If they can include the camera button, they sure can include a 90hz refresh rate screen on the phone. They're just really stubborn. Maybe if 16 didn't get enough sales it will wake them up.

[@Canoneosmiami]

Don’t forget to compare them side by side with 15 to see how much faster is the new Qualcomm modem ,the most important upgrade on the iPhone 16..

[@repatch43]

Really? So instead of say 300Mbps, I can get say 450Mbps on my phone. And for what exactly do I need that speed? Most people have no clue how much speed they need on their phones. They think they need gigabit connections to stream netflix. Hint: you don't. The additional speed of the modem is UTTERLY USELESS for almost all users.

[@riseabove3082]

@@repatch43 completely agree with this. Only time I ever needed speed was downloading another Linux distro but that is on a PC not a phone so, pointless on a phone.

Well I’ve been running my brothers old iPhone SE 2 and yes it’s dying and battery only lasts half a day even when I’m using it sparingly so the 16 pro max which I’m planning to get would be a really nice upgrade

[@DomCobb1]

I'm sticking with my 15 Plus. Even if it doesn't have Apple AI, I have sideloading which I'll lose if I switched. I got my 15 Plus from Japan

[@trollpotatoe]

maybe the next SE would be using the iPhone X design or the iPhone 12 mini shells? i hope so. If it gets the chipset of the iphone 15/16 and good battery life, it would be a game changer.

As somebody who got back into the Apple ecosystem I can say I wasn’t underwhelmed at all in all honesty I think smartphones as whole have plateaued the excitement and killer features or big updates or upgrades don’t happen like they used to I mean we’re starting to see that even in folding slash flipping phones now to and yes it sounds boring but I thought the event was ok could have been better but I’m excited for some things coming.

[@northtronv]

Upgraded iPhone 11 to iPhone 15 and I can say that Apple did dirty with the iPhone 15 not to include AI feature due to lack of RAM and chip from 2022 so iPhone 16 is definitely a big jump.

[@RUUDEBOI5]

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

The iPhone 16 Pros isn’t meant for those who bought the 15 Pro last year, it’s for people like me, using a 14 Pro Max which I’m upgrading to.

[@orangedrone]

The Pros aren't any bigger just feature slightly larger displays thanks to the smaller bezel.
