iPhone 16 Pro: 3 Months Later

[@changez77654]

Your observation that "I am holding a cellphone and doing cellphone things" resonates alot. I often feel like I’m underutilising an incredible photographic tool whose value might only be truly recognised in hindsight. To address this, I’m experimenting with three approaches (though I haven’t tested them yet): [1] Getting a camera grip from Fjorden to resolve the ergonomic issues. [2] Setting up a dedicated "photography focus mode" to simplify the phone’s functionality when I’m intentionally out for photography. [3] Investing in Moment lenses and, more importantly, CPL, VND, and bloom filters to add a touch of 'real camera magic' to iPhone photography. I hope these efforts pay off-I love my Fuji X100F too, but the iPhone offers so much more!

[@davey_gravy]

@@changez77654 i’m glad I’m not the only one that feels this way! I’d love to hear updates on your approaches to the phone!

[@justinbryan1369]

I love the camera button personally

[@Zandalee]

I'm glad you're still loving it!! This is amazing. Might convince me to make the upgrade.

[@davey_gravy]

@@Zandalee it’s a pretty amazing camera that fits in my pocket

[@aayush2505]

oh my god, the quality of this video is so glorious

[@davey_gravy]

Thank you!

[@Grehund]

You could set up a Focus mode for photography to get rid of all the additional noise/notifications that you would usually get on your iphone.

[@davey_gravy]

That’s a great idea! Thank you

[@RegnarBM]

Where is your screen protector from? It looks like it’s matte and I’ve been looking for one, but don’t really know any brands

[@calincharles]

I think I've started to feel the same as you about the lenses. I really enjoyed the 120 on my 15 pro max when it first came out, but the longer I've had it the more I wish i had that 3x.

[@davey_gravy]

Yeah……. When are we shooting stuff that far away from us on our phones. Bring the 3x back!

[@DominicDosdos]

I really resonate with this. Bring back the 3x! hehehe

[@wild_Rider_83]

Great Video, I'm New to Apple & IOS in General and so less than 24hrs and I'm loving the Switch from Android. New I-Phone 16 Pro, Size is plenty big enough but coming from the Quick Charging Oppo Find X5 Pro with 80w Charger I Just hope This 16 Pro does at least a decent job. Looking forward to using the cameras more and seeing what this phone can really do. Seen loads of Great reviews this past couple of weeks before I decided to make the Jump accross and No regrets so far.

[@davey_gravy]

I’m excited to hear that! Good luck

[@shunren]

since you're a videographer and photographer is it worth it to buy in 256gb?

[@davey_gravy]

Thats up to you! I try to transfer as many of the photos and videos off my phone, if they sit on my phone I dont use them. I prefer having them on an external hard drive to edit and use in projects. Some media is left on the phone and backed up with iCloud

[@thetrungbui9494]

I want to ask which brand of iPhone case do you use??

[@davey_gravy]

@@thetrungbui9494 I believe the case you’re referring to is MOFT or ANDAR

[@desireemiranda6933]

I find camera control button super difficult to use.

[@davey_gravy]

@@desireemiranda6933 yeah! It’s a weird button

[@joshkeisling]

How is the connectivity as far as 5G? Every iPhone I've had has been pretty poor compared to Android phones .

[@davey_gravy]

Mines been great, no issues making calls

[@dheerajdharipalli974]

How’s the battery life? The overnight & idle draining . Did you had the issue ?

[@davey_gravy]

No issues with battery. I’m very happy with it. Much better than my iPhone 15 Pro’s battery

[@FPGOJR]

The button is better appreciated by DSLR pros using the 16 Pro Max.

[@davey_gravy]

Im a DSLR pro and I don’t think I appreciate it

[@alxisl]

Great video, I am currently on an indecisive episode of either get a 16 pro max or downsize to a 16 pro and I think I’ll do just that, the regular pro just feels so compact! love that wallpaper at 0:03! Please share!

[@davey_gravy]

It’s from @WillBowers, he’s got some great wallpapers

[@東雲-f2x]

Thanks for the great video. Please give me some advice. I am not sure if I should buy the 15pro or the 16pro. I am not interested in control buttons, 120FPS, stereo, etc. I am only interested in photography and video. The 15pro has the advantage of a 3x lens and the 16pro has the advantage of a super wide angle lens. Both have the same wide angle lens, but can you tell the difference? I am trying to edit data taken with logs, etc. Would you recommend the 15pro or the 16pro? If I could only choose one of them? Sorry for my poor English as I am watching from Japan. It was easy to understand the shot in the video where you hold the iPhone in your hand to take a subjective shot and change the focal length.

[@davey_gravy]

I would recommend the iPhone 15 Pro

[@東雲-f2x]

A few. The black case is from ANDAR and the cream on is from MOFT

[@nickditkun]

"with your mom's windows computer" 🤣 Very interesting to see how our perspectives on certain things change after months of using a product. Another great video Davey!

[@davey_gravy]

Maybe I should do a follow up in a year from now 🤔 thanks for watching!

[@beanflam]

Great video man, I’m thinking of buying a iPhone 16 pro in order to finally get rid of my iPhone 11, that has a 70% battery life. Is the iPhone 16 pro worth it at full price after all these months, at least for my situation?

[@davey_gravy]

Nah, I think an iPhone 15 will serve you just as well as the 16. The 16 isn’t a massive upgrade

[@danmei-mariah-taylor-BL]

Just had it last week. I am.curious though how many cycles are you in and did you battery health dropped?

[@davey_gravy]

[@davey_gravy]

What’s your budget? What do you use your phone for? What features are important to you?

[@enesctak6994]

just get the normal pro, pro max is unnecessarily big for men i would say. It is just the bigger screen version of pro

[@VividVibesDaily]

You want an honest review about the camera control? From an actual person with no reviewers bullshit. I’ve been using the camera control and loving it every single damn day since i got the phone, it’s a lil bit uncomfortable ONLY when you’re using it in landscape, but every time i need to use landscape mode i be having enough time and flexibility to take the picture i’m trying to take which makes the camera control NOT really uncomfortable (it would’ve been if i need to take pictures fast and quick in landscape mode but it’s never the case). I always use it in portrait mode and it’s super comfortable super easy super cool and i’m loving it everyday and anyone who says otherwise just want views. I never ever ever had a single “miss click” or having the camera app open by mistake camera control clicks, and NO i didn’t change settings to “double click” its just default single click and i never had a single miss click. The photographic styles are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING when you understand how they work. And both the camera control and the photographic styles are super easy to get used to and understand. It actually took me more time to get used to the action button lmao (i upgraded from a 14 pro). Battery? I wake up at 9pm and i be using my phone INTENSELY from 10am to 3pm then 5pm to 9pm and i end up with more than 25% at 10pm, the phone can definitely last an entire day no matter how intense you use it, My old 14 pro would never last me to even 6pm. And when i say “intense” i mean my 14 pro used to end up heating up so so much and dim the screen and the refresh rate goes from 120 to 60/30 thats how intense i use my phones for work. The 16 pro has never did that so far, it has been an absolute beast. For Apple intelligence i’ll only mention type to siri and ChatGPT integration that i been using the most, multiple times per day. It has been great, still has room to grow but so far it helps a lot i find myself using it everyday. And the clean up thing is super fast and convenient. Thats it the rest of the features i barely use. THATS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. yes even from 14 pro I’m definitely seeing how big of an upgrade this phone is to me. Specially battery and performance i can definitely see the difference. And the camera as well, definitely worth it.
