iPhone 16 Pro: Here's What I Learned After a Month

[@CNET]

The iPhone 16 Pro's display has a minimum brightness of 1 nit, not 1 Hz. Clearly we've been working Patrick too much and broke his brain -- hence he said the wrong thing.

[@eastonbrewer1798]

Also, he said that the iPhone 16 Pros are featuring the A17 Pro chip, when the iPhone 16 Pro series actually incorporates the A18 Pro chip!

[@PtYt24]

I am guessing you meant 1 nits of brightness and not 1Hz, right ?

[@ruiyangao9255]

I thought it’s both

[@b16crxt]

You know what I’ve learned? Coming from a 13 pro and recently getting a 16 pro max…the camera control button sucks for three reasons. 1) it makes the phone move when you put it all the way down 2) it’s too far from the bottom corner for a natural feel and 3) when orienting the phone in my hand with a case on it, the shutter button cutout feels like the mute switch cutout of yore and I’m constantly picking it up upside down.

[@MonkeyD.Najibb]

Sounds like it's your problem

[@JoshuaDay]

The fact that the summary is that you need a 12 series to see a notable improvement by upgrading, kind of says it all. (12 Pro user that still doesn’t feel the need to upgrade)

[@RegularEverydayNormalGuy]

I got a base iPhone 12 with 64GB lol, still works, lags quite a bit, but I will probably wait a year or two before actually upgrading, recently got some extra cash and instead of getting a newer phone decided getting an iPad Pro with some addons would be more of an upgrade worth spending cash on

[@truthteller2711]

I have the iPhone 12 regular and planning on upgrading soon. Better battery life, 120 Hz, better cameras, and larger screen are large enough upgrades for me

[@superiortoall22]

I mean most people use their iPhones for about 3-4 years in the US. I think the 11 series is the most used iPhone out rn.

[@darylcheshire1618]

I have the 12 Pro and didn’t get the 15 Pro hanging out for the 16 Pro. I like the multiple little improvements. I travel in remote areas and am interested in the Sat phone feature but this is not available in Australia yet. Not sure if the 14 Pro version has Sat technology yet or are you still waiting (in Oz?).

[@paulmaine]

I went from the 12 pro max to 16 pro max 1TB amazing camera upgrade , looking forward to AI functionality 😁👌👍

[@redscorpion9325]

I’ll wait until it’s released on Monday instead of downloading the beta

[@oliverniehaus7159]

Come on, dude attention to detail was seemingly not present in this video. It has the A18 Pro not the A17 Pro. And the screen gets down to one nit of brightness, not one hz. You’re getting the phone and the watch mixed up. I appreciate these videos, but large tech channels like this should pay a little bit more attention to these details.

[@RegularEverydayNormalGuy]

True, sadly many channels just pump out videos without proper quality control

[@danieledney5775]

Get over it 😂

Summerize? Must be good during the winter! Thats AI for you!

[@mikemoros]

Ditto

[@blasebernard2916]

Lol!

[@An.Individual]

6:00 no one is saying the charge rate is 45W, that was a wild rumour and we all now know it is 30W max and that is only on an empty battery. Once you get to 80% the charge rate drops to 10W (@5V)

[@An.Individual]

He is totally correct in this being a minor upgrade over the 15.

[@tech489]

I went from a 14 pro max to a 16 pro max. The speakers on the 14 pro max were much louder and had better sound imo. Other wise I’m happy with 16 pro max.

[@ice.3000]

How is the battery? Same?

[@viewfromabhi4152]

What about the battery life bro ?

[@alexanderfazel]

16 Pro Max is fantastic. Great battery life, better thermal (also WiFi and 5G) performance, 1 hz display is very useful, Audio Mix is phenomenal and the Camera Control is good, for right now. It will get much better with two stage shutter, some tweaks and Visual Intelligence, which is now in beta on iOS 18.2 I recommend adjusting additional settings for CC button in Accessibility Settings.

[@spidermn17]

Hide distracting items in safari is one of the most underrated features ever

[@smoove354]

16 pro max best iphone since 14 pro max ! Camera button for me. People that complain about it either haven't taken the time with it or not into photography/ content creating. If you have something in one hand , camera button come in handy also

[@Darkroom48]

1:30 When has Hertz been a unit of brightness?

[@thoyo]

probably meant nit, I guess

[@joemath9447]

The reviewer needs to know his stuff

[@daddydubz88]

A17Pro chip was last year too

[@DD-ff3zo]

Clearly we all learnt that Patrick did not know the facts.

[@Drew1218s]

Buying a phone has become like buying a car in the sense that the year on year differences are so minimal. With a car you’ll ideally own it for way longer but phones now don’t start to have meaningful differences until 3,4, or 5 years later.

[@nuyou21]

iOS 18.2 Beta 1 came out yesterday for the iPhone 16's, and boy are all the newly introduced Apple Intelligence features insanely good, especially also using the new Camera button for Visual Intelligence. Yep, it’s beginning to look a lot like Apple XMAS again. 💰😁

[@CDFortsonIII]

The camera and photographic styles are my favorite features on my iPhone 16 Pro Max coming from an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

[@fusionxframes.]

You mean Summarize?

[@Mos41f]

Can existing owners share their views about the battery life of the iPhone 16 Pro? I have come across users saying that the battery life is very poor. Thanks.

[@adrianramos4721]

I upgraded from the regular 13 to the 16 Pro and I can confidently say it gets you through your day, no problem. I get up at 5 and go to bed at around 10:30 still with 10 percent at least, might be cutting it close, sure, but it does last

[@Mos41f]

@@adrianramos4721 Thank you for sharing your insights.

[@erijahc]

Kinda funny how you can immediately tell an Apple apologist when they say it's OKAY that you don't get the features out of the box which they heavily advertised. Meanwhile, the competition had the feature for a full 10 months prior. But if the competition made this failed promise, trust they will be the same people to trash talk other companies. Y'all are a different breed I swear 😬

[@lplt]

the camera button is most def the ai button,

[@MrKen59]

What’s your sense on the 16 Pro Max size? I have the 13 pro max and it feels heavy and too big to handle - especially one handed.

[@CalebWoon]

18.1 is out!

[@An.Individual]

only in beta (24th Oct)

[@dannyrobinson7509]

You couldn’t be more wrong on the camera button. I often need to take pictures with one hand and it’s so easy with 16 pro max. Maybe you have 8” long fingers with 5 joints and can find a non-tactile button without looking at it.

[@moxzilla6]

If you have the 13 KEEP the 13 it is not worth the upgrade especially this early on. Biggest regret for me my phone was paid off and mine but the camera broke and it was either upgrade or replace it. It was 300 more to upgrade so I did. But it was not really worth it.

[@JoeyJray]

Would anyone recommend upgrading from a 15 pro max to the 16 pro max?

[@Ash-h3d]

Apple over engineered the camera control

[@detailsmove]

one of the best reviews I've seen on this phone

[@Paul-ng4jx]

You can go into accessibility features and lower your brightness even more. I have it on a button sequence where I can hit my power button three times to go into and even lower bright setting on my iPhone 15 they just made it so everybody can do it without programming it to do it yourself through accessibilities

[@bestfriend3294]

What game youre playing

[@michaeldavies2019]

On a 12 pro atm and I still don’t see a reason to spend $1000 until this phones craps out on me. Just not enough worthwhile differences

[@Tarheb]

U never brought the Samsung vs the Moto Razr. U said u would. Probably cause the RAZR is better, u don't wanna show that. Be honest in ur reviews CNET.

[@brockhubbard6336]

18.2 just came out

[@JesseRainbow76]

I got rid of the iPhone after the stale update cycle ripping consumers off. My iPhone 15 pro max had horrible battery life and would not last a day. I traded for Samsung flip 6. I have 1.5 days of battery life. Which is way better than a iPhone 15 pro max. Can't compare to iPhone 16 pro max. Apple fails to put out reliable software updates. My Mac mini m1 was missing updates because of a software bug. Had to wait 2 months for the software to get a update to fix it. Not acceptable.

[@jfk5402]

[@Preposterous_Trooper]

Not trying to make it rain on anyone's parade, but isn't it 'summarize'?

[@erasmus9627]

So many mistakes in this video. The word summarise is not spelt summerize, and screen brightness is measured in nits not hertz, and the list goes on. Forget Apple Intelligence, how about some intelligence from CNet.

Summarize is spelled correctly and we added a correction as a pinned comment about the word nits.
