The vast majority of iPhone users are *casual* users (not content creators). For years and years, they've used their iPhones for communication, web surfing, running apps, that sort of thing. Even photography was not a primary function. For them, the iPhone SE, 14 and 15 will still get the job done. And for significantly less money. The fact is that most people are not well-heeled like you are. Being frugal is important to them. How much AI will casual users need or want? That remains to be seen. Personally, I don't need AI.

Regular iPhone 16 has very outdated display without ProMotion. I believe Apple is the only manufacturer who still makes these terrible, laggy displays. So if you’re considering an iPhone, then a Pro version is a must in my opinion. Why wouldn’t you even mention it? It’s a big deal!

[@Shark-pj8in]

Yea I agree, but for many people it doesn't matter. For me it does but yea.

[@jayneyp8683]

Pro motion isn't essential for most consumers. I have a 16. It's lighter and i don't take a lot of photos or run games. It's the perfect phone for me and there's not a lot of difference in the A18 chips.

[@andrewsc7304]

@@jayneyp8683 That's because they (including you) don't know any better. Mark my words, once you use a normal flagship phone (120Hz, any flagship android or iPhone Pro), the regular iPhone will feel very sluggish, it will feel like a 10 year old phone. You will see! I just bought a used 15 Pro instead. Same price as 16, but leaps and bounds ahead. Even my old 13 Pro was much nicer in everyday use than the regular iPhone 16. Same goes for iPads Pro vs. regular iPads.

[@DavidMalcolm]

The plus is for people who want a big display but don't need everything the pros have on offer. I'll actually be getting the Plus as when I'm done with it I'll be handing it down to my mom who would like a bigger phone. Otherwise I'd probably just get the 16. For people who primarily use the phone for calls, text, reading, general consumption, casual photography, music, all that stuff the 16 and 16 plus are great options. Really, the Pro is really only a good buy if you're someone who games like crazy on your phone and cares about game performance (I still find it weird that there's phone gamers. Like don't get me wrong I play games on my iPhone and iPad, but those are generally mobile game types and I dont' think Bloons TD6+, Fruit Drop, or Mini Motorways is going to collapse if they have to drop a few frames. Now, Apple either did some sort of partnership with Nintendo, or just reached out to third party Switch devs and ported their Switch games to iOS and macOS that'd be totally different, but I doubt I'll really miss that GPU core.) Really I feel like the Pro (not the Pro Max) has a weird market made up of people who get it just because they want the best though would be totally fine with a 13, but they can afford the one that matches their Ultra or is gold so they do that. Content creators who really benefit from things like studio quality mics and amazing lenses. People who want to be content creators who have money to burn. And I guess like, movie studios buying them as network capable cameras. The Pro Max on the other hand includes all those people, plus wealthy elderly professionals who have the money and just want the biggest phone they can get, these people would use an iPad mini if it could make calls. (At this point we're less than an inch away from the original iPad mini's screen size.) Really the iPhone 16 is the every man/every woman phone. I'm actually really happy with the colour choices this year too. You've got black for basic bitches, you've got white for people who own Apple products and want matchy matchy matchy (yes, that's me), and you've got blue, green, and pink for people who are defined by their penis or are not defined by their vaginas, not defined by genitals at all, or defined by their vaginas. or are not defined by their penis... but may be defined by their love of dick. (I am a card carrying homosexual and licensed to make this joke.) The 16 really presents itself as appealing to the people who just want a phone made by Apple. It has three bright and eye catching colours that will pull in people who care about the colour. It has two really good neutrals for people who the phone is a tool for, or for whom the phone is part of a tech system that it integrates into. Then you've got the Pro and Pro Max models which attract people who 'want the best no matter the cost' or who just like gold.

I like texting people on it and everything. It’s just better than my 13. And blows both my 13&11 out of the water so upgrade if you really want to. I can’t imagine you’d be disappointed.

[@timbukstu]

I think this advice isn’t great. The 8gb RAM a17 pro chip is in both the iPhone 15 Pro models and is equivalent to the M1 chip. This means Apple should support all iOS and AI features for the next four years minimum. They would have people leaving the ecosystem if they dropped ai support for a 15 “Pro” chip in 2028. But they can easily say the Bionic chip isn’t a Pro chip. So the best use of money is to buy a iPhone 15 pro or pro max if you need to upgrade as 99% of users won’t notice a difference in normal use cases. And then you can upgrade to a iPhone 18 because you want one, not because you will need. It went the 18’s come out in 2026.
