This "people don't care about 120Hz" attitude needs to change. Apple is profiting off people's ignorance at this point. 120Hz is no longer a premium feature-it's become a standard. Including it would have made more sense than adding the Camera Control feature to the base iPhone 16. Edit: Wow, this really took off. I’ve been reading through the comments, and I hear you. But you’re all actually proving my point. The issue isn’t whether you notice it or care about it; it’s the fact that Apple is shipping a product without a now-standard feature. This year, Apple got away with it because other features align with the Pro lineup, but rumors suggest they’ll definitely bring 120Hz to the base 17 series. And I’m sure once they do, you’ll all start to notice the difference.

120 Hz, though, uses a LOT of battery power, even with variable refresh rate. There's a reason why even the basic Samsung Galaxy S24 has a 4,000 mAh battery.

[@Yuhi_1606]

i gave my brother a 250$ samsung and it have a 120hz, like on an entry phone, the 60hz just killed the non Pro 16 for me

[@iamsid23]

@Sacto1654 Not much, actually. There's a misconception that 120Hz runs all the time, but that's not true. It only kicks in while scrolling, in games that need it, or in other areas where smoothness is required. When you watch a video or perform other tasks, it automatically adjusts to 60Hz or whatever framerate is needed to play the content. So, the percentage of time 120Hz is active is minimal, but it makes a huge difference in day-to-day use. That's also why the impact on battery life is minimal, though smartphones today require daily charging anyway. My point is that this feature has become standard and shouldn’t be overlooked by a company like Apple. Rumors suggest Apple will bring 120Hz to all iPhones next year, and I’m sure everyone will suddenly notice the real difference it makes.

As an owner of the Iphone 13 Pro (which is still a beast aside the battery now) I would like to try the Iphone 16, but the only thing that block me from buying this model is the 60hz display, I know that people who buy 16 don't care about the display refresh, but it should be a "normal" feature of every phone in 2024 and i'm still addicted at 120hz of Pro models

120Hz isn't just for smoothness, it's also about touch response. The screen is insanely more touch responsive and reactive while scrolling I'm not even kidding, it is very noticeable. On 60Hz it feels like it drags along and you have to keep your finger more on the screen for it to register. The 16 costs 1100€ for the 256 GB model and the 16 plus 256 GB over 1200€ in Germany which is outrageous for 60Hz phones

[@xXtuscanator22Xx]

I only genuinely care for higher refresh rate when it comes to gaming. On a phone…? It’s really not that serious. I’m not ab to fucking sweat out a phone. Is it nice? Yes. Would it be nice? Yes. Is it absolutely fundamentally necessary? No. Absolutely not. I’m texting and scrolling. Sure smoothness is great, but it serves me no genuine purpose. Once it becomes fully natural and normal, across the board, much like how 4K replaced 1080p, then I won’t really whine like a kid ab it.

[@caffeinelife]

I had a 15 Pro Max and have switched to the standard 16. The primary motivation is size and weight. I came from an Xr and never got used to the size or weight of the Max. Apple made my decision easy by making the phone features fairly equal. The only thing I will miss is the telephoto lens. Being able to just handle the phone with one hand is just so worth it to me. I decided against the 16 Pro because it’s still fairly heavy and the price isn’t worth it to me. I see the 60hz vs 120hz but it’s not important to me at all.

[@TheMelbournelad]

I’m in your boat. Any other impressions had with swap. Wanna pick your brain about the change. This was my first max and love the bigger screen, but thinking of going back to standard size

[@citysbarbershop2015]

Same here, I have the 15 max now but I’m really thinking about doing the regular 16….. wonder if 6.1 screen size vs 6.3 will make a high difference and also the 16 pro is still kinda heavy …..

If the 16 could natively support raw photos I would get it. It doesn't and so it's immediately disqualified for me. I find it such an odd intentional handicap from Apple. Samsung phones down to their A series can take raw photos (I know this because I owned an A20 4 years ago which introduced me to the format). Why a phone that expensive can't, despite being plenty more powerful than the iPhone 13 pro which debuted RAW is beyond me. Excellent video as always Kyle!

[@Alexpsy1]

Forget the pro?? No freaking way i'm going back to a 60Hz display no matter how great a phone is. All base iPhones from iPhone 12 and above are great phones EXCEPT for the 60Hz refresh rate. I see comments calling us nerds and that 120Hz is not a big deal... you're fooling yourselves. You don't see a big difference cause you never owned a pro.... once you get used to it it's a night and day difference! I would gladly own a base iPhone 17 with 120Hz even if it's aluminium, 2 cameras, worse battery life, etc.... but until then a 13 pro is way way better to use than a base iPhone 16.

[@ricardo_lavra]

I'm using a S21 almost for 3 years as my personal phone, and a S10e for almost 5 years (firstly as my personal phone and now as a professional/banking device that stays almost always at home). Despite having 120hz, I use the S21 most of the time in 60hz because: 1 - I don't game on my phone. 2 - It saves some battery. 3 - I simply don't care having this super "fluidity" just to scroll menus and social media feeds. If 120hz is important to you, fine. But not everyone needs it or actually care for it. And I consider myself as kind of a in between intermediary/heavy user.

[@jevonsims900]

💯Same, I set my phone to auto refresh rate to save on battery. I find most apps don't run at a full 120Hz all the time anyway.

[@ChrisBa303]

Its less about if you need it or not and more about, for what your paying it really should be your decision on if you want to use 120hz or not and not Apples. If the base model had 120hz i would pick it over the pro easily. But im used to high refresh screens (even office monitors get higher refresh rates now) which makes 60 hz less clear to me. Again you dont need 120hz but you should be the one deciding if you want it or not.

[@ricardo_lavra]

@@ChrisBa303 I agree with you on this. Apple has been using the argument that "the average user don't want this feature" because the averahe iPhone (non pro model) buyer really doesn't care for this, but if they had the option, perhaps their opinion on this would change. Still, people usually don't complain for the lack of features they don't understand or think they don't need, so it generates kind of a strange situation.

[@City-Hiker]

I got the iPhone 16 last month, and I got a cypress green case for it. It looks great. I only care about the battery more. Display doesn’t really matter to me. I adjusted the screen to the dark mode, and it save a lot more battery usage. 2 days per charge in general use.

If you’re a social media scrolling nut then yes you’re going to complain about the 60 hz display.

Honestly, as someone who used the R 360° Stand case for almost a year, I can say, it’s the best case I’ve ever used. It feels sturdy, the MagSafe is really strong but never to the point where it’s annoying, I’ve dropped the phone many times and didn’t get a single scratch, and the stand is really handy for my use cases. The only thing that is annoying is the hinge of the stand wears off too quickly. It stopped being strong enough to hold a phone after a little bit more than half a year. So you may need to buy another one if you use it a lot.

It feels like it takes apps and app switching twice as long on this brand-new iPhone 16 than it does on a two-year-old Samsung. Android just feels so much faster and then the AMOLED screen really puts the cherry on top.

This is one thing that you can never change it, no matter how good the features is, but if you used to 120Hz , you can never go back to 60Hz.

Not true,some People turn it off to save battery and because its not a big deal when scrolling on a phone

[@craigcarlson4022]

Fair points. But as one cares much about the still camera features, you have to go to the Pro model to get jPeg-XL photo file saving option, and get a telephoto lens. For my uses those to features alone are worth the $200 price difference. I just wish they’d give us these best camera options in a smaller body.

[@life3600]

A $799 phone should have a 120Hz display. I won't defend Apple, but personally, I would limit it to 60Hz even if it has ProMotion, so it's the like the perfect model this year for people like me who don't care about the display.

[@laprock]

Gotta say, your cinematography is beautifully crafted ❤

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

I can tell you that when I worked at the Apple store less than 1% of customers even knew what refresh rate is nor could they tell me which phone had it by looking at it. The fact is the Pro phones rarely run at more than 60fps. Most of the time they a re running at 60fps or lower. Also, all these videos show the difference in slow motion because otherwise you would not even notice it. Unless you play games you really won't miss it.

[@simonharris3111]

I have been pondering for a long time weather to get the 16 or 16 pro, searching through endless videos to get to a conclusion. this comment may well have solidified my decision, the only reason i would have gone for the pro this year is because of the 120hz. i am coming from an iPhone 12 mini, and have never had a brand new top of the range phone before, so was really torn. i know i would never use most of the pro features any way. but now i know that about the 60hz that you have explained, i think ill just go for the base model 16 and save myself a couple of hundred £, thank you

[@CarterSparrow-f8c]

The thing that I dislike about the iPhone 16 is the 60hz display. I hate a choppy display and when I am using some other iPhone than my 15 Pro Max or a Pro model, I can instantly tell. I'm thinking about upgrading to the base model iPhone 17 when it comes out, but if it doesn't have the 120hz display, I'm not going to. 😭

[@seabedrock]

I don't know why 120Hz is such a huge deal when it comes to phone usage. Before, it was only really about gaming, or in the ipad pro when the apple pencil response is better with it. On phones tho, it's just a nice to have but not essential. Scrolling is smoother, but why do you need for scrolling to be smoother anyway? It's such a weird obsession. Iphones are hella expensive and I'm not defending that. I'm talking about general smartphone features.

[@maddoxthegreatcanecorso7150]

[@theblastoiseboyy]

I actually traded in my 14 pro for the regular 16 and I’m beyond happy with it! The battery life on the 14 was very very bad, and I personally can manage without the pro motion and getting more battery life. Not to mention it’s a lot more comfortable in hand opposed to the 14.

[@bryans8656]

Thanks for the review Kyle. That new camera control is an appealing new feature.

[@eugenebrandan398]

I got the 16 plus simply because of the colours and the the design.

[@jgnmtz]

Great video . Point well taken ‘60 hz refresh is long in the tooth ‘ .. I’m surprised that consumers haven’t demanded that all new iPhones at this price point have at minimum 120hz ! I really like the coverage of the buttons ..the new special feature button seems curiously positioned . Right where the palm covers it up 🤣. Spatial imaging seems interesting. Sadly , I’m the only consumer wanting Apple to offer 3D video optional . After all, their visor is made for spatial viewing . Why not 3D . Love the fact they gave the 16 the A18 chipset ! Love the cooling ! Love the OLED screen (you did say OLED right ?) love gaming options . I would love to see more ease of use when taking photos .. seems like with SLR , your negative can be manipulated in the dark room to add shading , tone, depth, clarity .. the different options on an iPhone just seem amateurish by comparison . I can only imagine how much storage the phone would need if I wanted an image to be stored like a negative with all the requisite detail 🤣..can you say 5TB?

[@elliottw5659]

Only difference I would care about is the 60 v 120 but the 16 model being so much lighter as well as the battery lasting the same as the 16 pro is more what I care about on day to day. It’s just not worth the 200 extra for me

[@justSTUMBLEDupon]

5:59 The camera control is a nice idea but in general I kinda just wish it was finger print open with some other functions. I rather use the normal camera controls. Also I rather have the silence switch, but I’ll admit the change could be helpful. They do need to move it further up because it’s no longer a switch, it’s a button.

The base model iPhones this year are far more feature rich and capable than previous years and even spec levels are closer to the pros than ever before, for the majority of people this is the one to get especially in teal.

[@_rhapsodist]

7:46 cropping in and digital zoom are essentially the same thing..

[@Hammys_place]

Honestly, I get the 60hz debate. Me personally, I don’t really mind it because I only use my phone for small things like texting, calling, note taking, pictures, and sometimes KZbin, so I don’t need a crazy refresh rate, however I do think it’s a bit scummy to not include a current day standard feature in a flagship phone.

I just shifted from a 120hz display to this i can say i didnt even notice or care about it unless comments made me. And still not a difference

[@DavideDiBella86]

I don't understand most of tech reviewers. When they talk about the price, the functionalities and, sometimes, the lack of improvements from the previous model they say that iphones are not for everyone and general user should think to buy others smartphones but when critical points, like the 60Hz display, comes out they say that a simple user didn't even notice it. But if someone is spending almost 1k for a phone i think they deserve the best. IMHO obviously ☺️

[@SamoelFilho]

Impossible to forget the lack of 120hz, this is the pain of the base iPhone 16. If the iPhone 17 comes with 120hz, sure will sell a lot more than the Pros!

[@tomscott4438]

I lose interest, when a review of a phone turns into a camera review. When I get serious about photography, I use my actual (mirrorless) camera. It has a better & larger sensor, more sophisticated post processing options, more detail, better lenses, it's still super light weight, and it's... 8 years old. The camera in the iPhone is amazing and always accessible, but for what I use it for, it's been amazing for years. These incremental improvements (especially given the size and form factor) are great, but for me, they are not a selling point or a reason to upgrade.

[@Anavllama]

Sorry, unless your a prof photographer, phones have replaced cameras, unless you live with a go pro stuck to your forehead. Thus the review is very appropriate for MOST users. By the way, if you expect any smartphone review not to detail the camera then your expectations are not realistic. Happens on this model, one of the changes is centred around better control over picture taking........... one would think you would be interested in that........... All in all your comment is bogus.

[@daveed4475]

Same for me - the camera on my SE gen 2 is more than adequate for me; like you, I use cameras for photography and have no interest in iPhone camera feature adds.

[@tomscott4438]

@@Anavllama My comments may not be relevant to you, but they’re not “bogus”. My 8 year old camera takes better images with finer detail and WAY more data for things like editing and printing. Things that more than just a professional might want and need. For quick shots and casual use, the iPhone is great, but it’s been great (or more than good enough) for years. Compared to my 14 Pro, there is nothing in the 16’s motivating me to upgrade.

[@tomscott4438]

@@daveed4475 This is the dichotomy. As a photographer, I love the features they are adding to the iPhone, but they are NOT reasons for me to upgrade. When I upgrade my phone it's because of things like better build quality, battery life, WiFi, cell radios, etc. Things Apple rarely mentions, even when they add them. When I need better image quality and a photographic experience, I use my actual camera. Am I an anarchistic dinosaur? Probably. Does Apple care about me as a customer? Clearly not.

Hi, after all 11 pro max till 14 pro max last year I decided to buy regular 15 (black edition) the colour was amazing! Unfortunately when I scrolled through……I noticed from the beginning the 60 hz very slow compared with pro!

[@NinjaZX6Rider]

So I have the S23 Ultra, it is my personal phone. So I know about 120hz screen refresh rates. I have my phone set to the adaptive refresh rate, as locking it to 120hz will seriously drain your battery. But one thing to mention, a lot of your app experience will vary, some apps just seem to be choppy when scrolling. So not sure why that is, but the OS will flow much better at 120hz. So, why am I here? Well, because Samsung is sticking with the curved edged screen, I'm going back to iPhone and I think the 16 Pro is going to be my choice. I love the camera in the S23 and the S Pen, but I've probably spent over 200 bucks on screen protectors and cannot find one that will stay on the curved edges, so I'm done with them.
