I went from the 11 to the 15 and it was not a huge upgrade. It wasnt an upgrade at al, nothing changed except for the battery life. The camera is barely better and i already own a $500 DSLR.

Batteries can be replaced and instead of spending $1k on a tiny camera upgrade, just buy real camera

I am using iPhone 14 Pro and was told by one these KZbinrs to wait until the 15 Pro came out. The only difference in my opinion is the type C port apart from that everything is the same. The iPhone 16 pro has some better upgrades even from the iPhone 15 Pro and when Apples AI is launched on it, it will be better suited to the 16 Pro than the 15 Pro as it was designed more for the 16. The battery size, speakers, screen size, A18, screen toughness, phone size, minimal bezel are all different than the 15 pro model. The New Apple AI will work better with the 16 Pro in my opinion over the 15 Pro. The 15 Pro to me is just a 14 Pro with a similar style to the 16 Pro.

[@cichlids253]

Apple straight up lied to all of us they said trade in a iPhone 12 or newer and get 1000 off go to the website and they are only giving 650 for a 15 pro max !

[@jaimeerobertswarz]

Considering the design has not changed people assume the iPhone doesn’t get better, since we have had the same design on Pros since the 11series (2019). But with the base iPhones since the 11 series has looked similar as well, with the exception of moving the camera modules in different positions. Since the X era we no longer have S years. The 12-13 felt like the same lineup with the 13 being an S year basically fixing all the issues with the 12s. The 14 lineup brought new features like satellite connectivity, a huge camera improvement, and so much more. Making the 13 feel like an incremental upgrade. The 15 lineup feels like an S year as the base iPhones obtain the island & the pros got a button. Nothing exciting besides just a usbc port. But all around the 16 lineup feels like an S year for the pro again, while the 16 gets major changes. But internally year over year they’re implementing small changes. I stopped the yearly cycle after the 14pro. Especially while they reused chipsets for the 14 base model, and the 15 base model. Putting the 14pro in a better place for updates. I am noticing they’re listening to feedback for some areas in software. Such as customization. But have been lacking in the changing alot of basic apps. Why is the camera app the same it needs to be redone. So my point is it hasn’t mattered for about 4 years what Iphone you have purchased. They are more or less the same. I will upgrade this year or the next couple of months to something, as it’s cheaper than doing a battery replacement. But its very compelling to just choose a 15 over the 16 if its cheaper, and the phone really isnt that different. Or just get an SE4 when it comes out.

I was planning to upgrade from a 13 pro to a 16 pro Max. You certainly give me a lot to think about, so rather than being totally negative like many of the comments on here, it certainly always worth considering what you’re going to gain in terms of your usage of the phone. Personally, I would rather have a phone with no camera whatsoever, a display, but fast operation. I should say at this point I’m totally blind. One thing that really tempted me to upgrade, is that using the right headphones with a built-in digital analog converter, apparently you can get lossless audio straight out of your iPhone by using a USB cable. I can’t do this with my 13 pro. Being a complete audio nerd though, this would be brilliant. Cheers Rob.

It's mainly a software upgrade that they're limiting to newer models. Which means, if you're on a 13 or below then it's worth upgrading at this point simply for battery longevity.

[@matthewblack1993]

This definitely sounds like upgrading is needed. honestly with the promotional deals nowadays, pricing is relatively economical. What I did is I bought a iPhone 11 Pro Max., paid it off and then when the 12 Pro Max came out, I traded the phone in and got up to $800 off the brand new device. And do that every year now. so I am going to trade in my iPhone 14 Pro Max that I paid maybe $600 for getting up to $1000 off of the new iPhone 16 Pro, so basically a $1200 phone for the cost of $400. This is the best way to upgrade., you pay off your device then you wait for the promotional trade-in option when the new device is released. So yes, trade and get the iPhone 16, investment wise. It’s the newest phone and will hold its value the most between the other phones.

Whatever you say but I'm still gonna upgrade your iPhone 16 Pro Max cause you shouldn't be just telling people what to do

[@eliyamil117]

Lol😂. True

[@genzboomer-sv3pl]

mwahahaha

[@xxxsavagecactus1823]

I have an se 3 do you think I should upgrade or wait?

[@OccupiedMuffins]

Are you really upset over this video? Do you really think he’s telling you what to do? wtf is this comment lmao just do what you want

[@MichaelW.1980]

Maybe, you should consider making videos for the appropriately 90+% who didn’t update their iPhone within the last 2 years. I’m coming from an iPhone X, so to me, this is going to be a substantial upgrade.

[@jjflash2611]

Phones have gotten so good that I will never pay over $500 for any new phone/upgrade.

[@OutOnTheTiles]

Cheapo

[@CanalulDeScurgere]

I have iphone SE (1st edition), in 2024 I upgraded the battery, see you in another 7 years , Kiss you !!!

[@patanasoff7]

I'm coming back to Apple from an S24, which I hate. I'm getting the new iphone 16

[@pamelaj9985]

ok youre my people, I hated the S22 so much I powered up my old 6plus in last 3 mos and waiting but cant decide to buy the 14, 15 for a deal or 16.

[@farleymarly2575]

Well I bought it, my last phone was 5 years old anyway. Every time you tell me to wait for the next one the phones have reached their potential. All we will get is incremental changes from now on

[@Whitepinoy]

14 pro can't afford the 16 will wait till next yr.

[@peoplearecrazy1798]

It sucks that they are removing the home button from the SE phone. The notch in any variation is a problem.

[@elfilibusterible]

I mean, who upgrades from a 15 to a 16? Like, how sad exactly is your life to upgrade yearly? If you're using a broken iphone 11, BY ALL MEANS...UPGRADE!

[@josephpartida8235]

let people do what they want to do . They're money their business dude

[@KanielD]

I usually upgrade every year. I missed the 14, but that was it. I use my phone more than anything else I own. If the 16 comes with the rumored mic improvement, that alone is worth the cost to me. Or the x75 modem made service a little more reliable.

[@elfilibusterible]

@@josephpartida8235 well, exactly. So, BY ALL MEANS UPGRADE. Why tell people not to upgrade just because this and that?

[@standingalone001]

I’ve got an iPhone 13 Pro Max right now and it does everything I need very well but I do plan on upgrading this year specifically for Apple Intelligence. I’ll likely upgrade to the 16 Pro but I may consider getting the cheaper 15 Pro depending on how the Apple Intelligence features are disbursed to the phones. I’m more excited about getting an Apple Watch for the first time. I just really hope the battery is now at minimum 24 plus hours.

[@Emiratescrew98]

Laughing with my iphone 15 pro max 😂

[@Submersed24]

I have the 14 and I might just get that

[@ElSings]

I’m coming from an SE 2020 and before that I had an original SE. So honestly if I buy ANY of these phones newer than my own it will be a huge upgrade lol

[@2amichaelj]

I'm waiting for the iPhone 3,771

[@thomashrubecky1663]

Is that the number of iPhone or the price? If it's the latter, you're buying a new iPhone before this decade is done.

[@2amichaelj]

@@thomashrubecky1663 the number of IPhone. At the current rate I'm waiting until 5779 😂

[@williamhow3646]

If there is a technical problem with iPhone 16, then I’ll agree with your advise. For those with iPhone 14 n 15, I can’t see you need to upgrade your phones to 16. I have iPhone 12 Pro, I can wait another year for my upgrade, because my phone is still running good, I think the battery is going to be changed next yr n therefore good time to upgrade.

[@lisakramer9373]

I really really really have disliked my 13 straight out of the gate. I got used to it and for a short time thought maybe I hadn’t made a mistake. Then I heard the buzz from some longtime iPhone people that said that even Number phones are always better always more functional have less issues than the odd number. Ironically, I went through a ton of iPhone 5. Got an iPhone 6 and decided when a friend was upgrading that the 6+ or whatever it was was insanely cool and swapped to phone after repeated failing. From there, I jumped to the 13. Now very close to three years ago and I can’t wait to get rid of it! Or at least keep it only as a back up forward since it’s still supported. Having said all that that do I just buy a used 14 that’s incredible shape instead of going for the 16 or do I take a risk and wait for the 17 and see if I don’t throw this thing up in the air and shoot it with a 357 frustration because 13 is frustrating as heck!? Or like he suggested a 15+ used at a reduced price… Again, I’m a little skeptical but the odd number years with my experience with the five and the 13 do I really want to go to a 15 possibly strike out? You guys please give me all your thoughts. I need good solid advice. PS never going back to android so need some good advice. Thank you.

[@YonOtto]

I had an S22 Ultra and was told not buy the S24 Ultra... that it was just AI features and less screen glare and nothing big... bought the S24 Ultra and it was so much snappier, quicker, better camera, better speaker, better battery life, better screen. I was shocked at how much better it was.

[@brycecarver991]

When I went from the 10 to the 13 pro max, man was that an upgrade. The brighter 120 hz display from the 60 hz. Macro photos, and the best battery ever! Now going from the 13 pro max to the 16 pro max I’m not even excited. Oh wow wifi 7, gotta have at least gig internet and fork out the money for wifi 7 routers to even use that feature. I was excited for a way bigger battery and 100x digital zoom but now that none of those are a reality might as well wait for the 17. Or should I make the switch to S24 Ultra??

[@johnwyatt4286]

I went to the 15 pro max from having a regular 14.. love it, first time having a pro and the camera is extraordinarily better

[@Geoffr524]

If I have the 13 pro, is the 16 pro max a good upgrade? Hopefully it will be less likely to overheat than when iPhone 15 pro max came out.

[@exclusive2126]

I just remember how much of an upgrade it was the iPhone 3 going to iPhone 4 and the iPhone 8 going to the iPhone X. Apple should focus more on revolutionary upgrades even if it takes a longer time to release

[@soulbreeda]

It’s amazing how a tech company has sold the world on buying a new phone every year. I remember when we all used rotary phones and didn’t buy a phone for years until the one we had broke.

[@DSneakerTech]

Lol it's funny cause you said don't buy the 15 pro last year and to wait for the 16 pro. Tbh iPhone 16 pros are a great refined update from it's 1st version being the iphone 14 Pros. It'll have the new best battery life in an iphone since the 13 PM, a bigger and better screen, and all the updated specs in terms of wifi, charging speeds and transfer speeds etc. I'm happy that it's finalized and will be getting it. I'll upgrade again in years to come when they make the best final design of a new model. The line lineage for me so far is Iphone 11 P, iPhone 13 PM, and now iphone 16 PM. The 19 or 20 will be my next upgrades down the line

[@sh3nmei_226]

I have an X, I thought about not upgrading till my phone is barely usable, but I have accidentally broken the camera, it will randomly starts working within 2-3 weeks and stops working within 1-2 days and same process repeats. So after watching this video, idk if I should wait or buy it. Plus I’m not in a hurry in buying a new phone as well. I’ll think about it.

[@jonb8633]

I upgrade every yr because I have kids and for me getting a better camera is a must. Quality of the photos on the 15 pro is outstanding. Also I like to get better battery life every yr. I only skipped one iPhone generation since the first iphone. I take great care of the current iphone and sell it or trade it in.

[@sroirr]

Reasons 1-4: Not that big of an upgrade, wait for SE / 17 / 17 Air Reason 5: 15 has better value Note that you’ll be able to make similar arguments every year. While it is a good advice not to upgrade every year, if your phone does need an upgrade, there’s nothing wrong with grabbing the latest one.

[@myleonisd]

Would love for the SE4 to have the body of a Mini (12 or 13 either's fine)

[@TacoBel]

I can agree with the thesis statement if you are upgrading from the 15 series... I own an iPhone 12. I am needing a new phone anyway, as a filmmaker the 16 pro offers enough to warrant buying it over the 15 pro... Call me crazy, but none of the rumours about the 16 series actually came about, and they were just repeat rumours for the 15 from the speculation season from the year before... Ima buy what I want no offence. But yes, if you don't need an upgrade then no reason to.

[@sebastiaoedsonmacedo7950]

Thanks for the honesty. Very helpful. That’s what matters in a review!

[@GrumpyDogTX]

Wasn’t planning on getting the 16, but what I really took away from this video is a crazy craving for a hot soft pretzel with mustard!

[@jamestruncali476]

I think getting the 15 pro used is gonna be the best deal. Might go 15 pro new just for insurance but I've had good luck with certified used/refurbished in the past so if the price is right I'll go used.

[@greatnessinc]

I’m still using a 13 pro, I haven’t seen anything yet that makes me want to upgrade at current prices.

[@jmeteh]

Yes you are right , DO NOT BUY IPHONE, i using iphone 13 promax, today it suddenly black screen but the phone still in working , i can feel the vibration. Never a second thought, i straight send to apple service center and i ask the staff why im so unlucky, i very take care my iphone, no dropping, no overnight charging and no charge exceed 100%,(follow the instruction) why my iphone can spoiled out of sudden??? and the staff replied "there really an issued on Iphone13 pro max". I totally dilema , and now on i NO confidence with iphone.

[@MsLampalampa]

Still on iPhone 12 Pro. And it looks exactly like 16pro 😂😂

[@CarlWiganerUK]

I'm going from 15 Pro to 16 Pro because I want obviously, but there's one huge reason. To upgrade this year for 256GB 15 Pro to 256GB 16 Pro will cost me £250. Next year won't get that, looking at 14 looking at £500 rather than £800. So you're not actually saving anything, that correct?

[@andrewslads]

What I learned . Buy a phone with the most amount of storage you can get and keep it as long as possible . I still have iPhone 12 128GB which was a mistake . Should have got more memory ! Everything stored on iCloud and videos pretty much take ages to load up , if they ever load up . My gf has an iPhone 14 Pro and there’s a noticeable difference with processor speed , screen as well as camera compared to mine. I feel like the 12 ‘ stresses’ the eyes and the 14 makes reading much easier . I’d imagine the 16 to be better . So from a 12 it will be a significant difference and I need the extra memory !

[@gailenrique2804]

Remember part of the storage holds IOS, along with system files. Also, a portion is used as "virtual" memory to help the onboard ram make multitasking easier. You have a ton of pictures taken and videos as well, you will need to move them to the computer or get one of those Idrive by Sandisk. If you registered icloud you will need to get off of that 5GB free shit and pay for 2TB for $9.99 a month.

[@thomashrubecky1663]

I'm a buyer of iPhone 17 Pro Max IF it comes with a 2TB local storage tier. Local storage is my prime determinant of purchase. If it doesn’t get a 2TB storage tier, then I'll likely upgrade my 14 Pro Max to a 15 Pro Max (with 1TB local storage) for the Apple Intelligence features. That'll depend on how compelling are the other 16 Pro Max features.

[@Oddingen]

The time for the big steps in mobile telephony is probably over. If you have a newer phone that works perfectly fine, it will cost you a little over 1,000 dollars (here in Norway) for a new phone that gives you very little extra.

[@Kevin6t8]

I'm upgrading from 14 Pro Max to 16 Pro Max. I want a phone that can take full advantage of Apple Intelligence. I also like the capture button. It will make the phone more user friendly for taking pictures. I know the Action button can be programmed to do this, but it's location on the phone makes it kind of awkward to use. I will finally have all my Apple products but the keyboard on USB-C/Thunderbolt port .

[@inenfmk]

I have an iPhone 13, and I don't want to upgrade this year because iPhone 16 still has those pathetic 60 hz. There are rumors that iPhone 17 will finally bring a higher refresh rate to base models, so maybe I'll buy it. If not, I'll buy a used pro model.

[@geoffreymckenzie5561]

Great video!!! I was going to get the 16, but thanks to your info, I’ll just wait for the 17. Thank you.

[@BlueDiamondStar]

Tbh so far those IP17 rumors look way too wild and I’m still having 12. I wanted to upgrade to a renewed/refurbished/or something 13PM or 15Plus this year. I will still evaluate between 16 lineup and 15 before attempting any decision making for next year (I will only buy anything that long term when I’ve passed the last two exams and keep the job) but ain’t waiting for that 17air-whatever just yet.

[@Dougie6116]

Upgrade once every 2 years, trade your phone in get a watch or AirPods, maybe save up for a laptop. I once upgraded from the 12 to the 13 and seen no real difference, got the 15s with my girl and we’ll be getting the 17s

[@TopFindsReviews]

I'm going to get the 16 still! - bigger screen and the capture button i'm super stoked for!

[@mrziad92]

1. If you want to upgrade to 16 (not pro) then it’s probably not worth it especially with 17 air coming. 2. If you already own 15 pro it’s not worth it to upgrade since there is no major difference. 3. If your iphone is 14 pro you could upgrade if you want the apple ai otherwise it’s not really worth it. 4 if your phone is anything lower than 14 pro it’s absolutely worth upgrading to 15 pro unless your phone is still in great shape or the 15 pro is too expensive for you.

[@arafaahmed6763]

I’ve just lost my iPhone 12 Pro Max😓, I was planning to wait for 17 pro, what should I do now? What do you recommend guys?
