iPhone 16 Pro in 2025 - EVERYONE is Wrong!

[@GregsGadgets]

Do you hate or love the iPhone 16?

[@smstsss_adib1913]

I'm rocking my 16 Pro for about 2 months by now, and from a Xs, it's a huge jump especially in the gaming part. I definitely agree with your points and I saw some hate on the camera control which I actually find it okay to use... IDK maybe I'm weird. Anyway good video and amazing work Greg 👍🏻

[@zippo1009]

I find it hard to answer, cause i have an iPhone 15 Pro Max....but i know i hate that one. That´s for sure 😖

[@vitorialevinski]

I'm loving it it's pretty much the best improvement for the base lines

[@markbriscoe1971]

No l like ny iPhone 15pro 256 gb 👍

[@markbriscoe1971]

iPhone 15 pro great 👍

[@JohnBorsa]

YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! KZbinrs complain for clicks. While I upgrade every year, 99 percent of consumers do not. Smartphones are now like automobiles: small upgrades every year and a major redesign every 5-7 years. AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile offer device financing plans that vary in length. AT&T and Verizon typically provide 36-month financing options for smartphones, while T-Mobile offers a 24-month device financing term. That’s the real world upgrade schedule.

[@AbdoullahBouaicha]

Thank you so much for loving iphone16

[@katinasoutherland7693]

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this video. I am so tired of the hate for this amazing phone bro. I love camera control. I absolutely love everything about this phone. I haven't found one flaw. People need to stop listening to hate. This phone is f****** amazing.

[@andrometro]

I went from an iPhone Xs to 16 Pro Max..... couldn't be more happier, a huge leap indeed!

[@rustychain9518]

I went from an iPhone 12 to a 16 Pro and couldn’t be happier…huge improvement in every way.

[@fledgling5616]

If you were coming from a 13, 14, or 15, you wouldn’t notice much difference.

[@joeking22]

Haha, that's a big jump. The issue here is the lacklustre effort Apple has made this time with the iPhone 16 from the 15.

[@agaad22]

I went from a 13 to a 16 Pro Max. It’s a massive improvement in the things I wanted for upgrades. Performance and photo quality. Both were seriously starting to be an issue with my 13. Not mention the battery life was a massive upgrade.

[@michaelhawkins6149]

I’ve been a Samsung user for a decade and just switched to the iPhone 16 pro max. I absolutely love it except the keyboard and no “close all apps “ button.

[@GregsGadgets]

Glad you're enjoying it! What made you make the switch?

[@michaelhawkins6149]

@ my grandson has it and let me use it and I needed a new phone.

[@dqskatt]

​ @GregsGadgets Completely unrelated, but I switch because Samsung tends to aggressively optimise their memory usage by sleeping unused apps, but that mess with a lot of function in many app Discord, for example, if you hide the app while Screen Sharing, the screen sharing and mic will freeze unless you're going to setting then exclude Discord from optimization. But the main reason why I change is because LanguageTool isn't available on Android. There's also a 3rd party password manager issue, but that is less of a problem.

[@londoncallingwithsimon6817]

I’m a long term iPhone user after using 1st gen Samsung S series, now with each iteration I’m tempted to go android, perhaps something clean like pixel, a big temptation is the ‘close all’ button. I don’t understand why Apple don’t have it.

[@kylecastellino6402]

@@londoncallingwithsimon6817try pixel, you will love it. Return if you don’t like it. My only hesitation for staying with Apple is the ecosystem but if you don’t rely on Apples sorcery by all means try it! Coming from a pixel 7 pro and 13 mini user :)

[@alexanderfazel]

iPhone 16 Pro Max is an excellent phone. Year-over-year upgrades are not often meant to be substantial anymore, in a mature smart phone market. The Camera Control button has definitely become more useful with the adjustments in 18.1 and 18.2. I’m glad you gave the Audio Mix feature the attention and rating it deserves. Performance and battery life are great. I’m really looking forward to iOS 18.4.

[@cashsingh6185]

The market in the UK can be a little different compared to the USA but unlike some android devices, especially in relation to processors, an iPhone is an iPhone globally, identical and that’s why for me it’s the phone to have. I have a 16 Pro and it’s fantastic. Great battery, excellent camera and the fact that it’s a one handed device with all that and a 5x zoom makes it pretty prefect. I’ll be keeping this for 2/3 years. 👌🏾

[@zack2396tube]

Phones reached their peak point. No company will get you excited for a little faster/better feature. Most companies are developing alternative products but meanwhile have to maintain their income & phones get a small feature each time.

[@carlosdelacova1943]

I purchased the iPhone 16 and I loved it. I upgraded from the iPhone 12. Great video. Totally agree with you regarding the haters!

[@michaelbabiuk8758]

I have been on the Apple iPhone upgrade program since iPhone X. As such, every year is "new iPhone year" for me. However, with my latest iPhone 16 Pro Max model, for the first time, I feel I could skip the yearly upgrade ritual and keep this phone for two years - or longer. Its capabilities will not be obsolete for the next 4 years - in my opinion. It is THAT good.

[@druxpack8531]

went from 13 pro to 16 pro...absolutely no difference. I wasted money, end of story.

[@fledgling5616]

Bummer.

[@Cujobob]

I went from the 13 PM to 16 PM, nothing groundbreaking, but being able to cap charging and USB-C are great. I actually enjoy the camera control button, it just makes it feel like an actual camera. Every upgrade isn’t going to be monumental.

[@Äpple-pie-5k]

Huge difference. Guess it depends on if you learn your phone or just use it for the same old stuff.

[@oleksiysaiko5859]

It’s a great phone, but I’m still afraid of one thing. The next iPhone will have 12gig RAM, and I’m pretty sure, that they will block us in the future for some iOS features with phones that have 8gig of RAM. Like it happened with iPhone 15, that didn’t got the Apple intelligence for example, because it has 6gig

[@CalvinInLondon]

Upgrading from a 12 Pro can’t wait!

[@lucaswild]

Amazing!!

[@Florida_Boy772]

Same lol

[@CoolTatts]

I attended a small concert at the Drake Underground and pulled out my iPhone 15 Pro to record the artist singing their lead song. Watching afterwards I noticed that the sound recording was terrible. That’s the reason I upgraded to the 16 Pro and it’s night/day different for recording audio quality.

[@funkam0nkey]

I love my 16 Pro Max but I use it a lot less than my Z Fold 6. I just can't get on with a slab style phone anymore. Apple Intelligence is terrible compared to Gemini too. I prefer iOS at its core but it's starting to feel a little worn out and is lacking some features. Apple is starting to get a little lazy in the OS department.

[@Gurenn83]

Same. I own a silver shadow Z Fold 6 and I love it as my main phone. I could almost do anything with it. But my second phone still rocks but it is just a vanilla iphone 15. I bought it bcoz I really like the pastel green color.

[@deathbyastonishment5798]

I’m still rocking my purple iPhone 14 pro max and I can’t see any reason to upgrade honestly. My 14 PM was a huge upgrade from my 11 pro max but I’m going to wait for the 17 or 18

[@Photogeek611]

I have a 15 PM I ain’t upgrading until the 18 or when I see the foldable phone they are currently working on.

[@poedidi]

I agree with you. I think some people have unrealistic expectations. I have the 16 pro max and love it. I’ve had the 13 pro, 14 pro, and 15 pro. I always appreciate what apple is able to do each year. The iPhone continues to get a little more polished every year.

[@PuppyTeethVEVO69]

Got mine, love it. Upgraded from a 12 Mini, it's great.

[@GregsGadgets]

Big upgrade, literally. I miss the mini.

[@PuppyTeethVEVO69]

@ If only they would offer a Pro Mini… a boy can dream!

[@GGaemer]

Im curious what the differences of those two boards are when they are side by side like that.. next time can you dive into that a little more and point out the differences while they are in front of the camera?

[@Erdadler]

I really like my iPhone 16 Pro Max in Desert Titanium! Especially the thin bezels and 6.9 inch Display does it for me! The long battery life isn’t bad either! But for me it’s special since I got mine at an Apple Store in Sydney while on vacation there one week after release! The camera button is quite awkward, but I got used to it! Happy new year to you all! 🍀👍🏻

[@lindhartsen]

The consternation online has been a bit overblown. I upgraded from a 13 Mini to a 16 Pro and it feels like a pretty substantial phone and I’ve been impressed though still adjusting to the size difference. The only negative that may hold water is Apple Intelligence being overblown so far but AI in general feels that way.

[@TACO-YAKI]

I've been using an XR since Jan of 2020, but I know it was released in 2018. Battery is pretty bad nowadays and I got a 16 Pro. People are shtting on it when they upgrade from last year since it wasn't meant to be a big upgrade compared to the phone I can from to what I have now. Not a huge upgrade for them, but for me? From Lightning to USB C, 1 lens to 3 lenses, 120 HZ screen, better processor to play my games in which WUWA is one and it uses lots of resources. 5g I don't really care for, but nice.

[@simpromovie]

I am coming from a 2018 XR and upgraded to the regular 16. Even that was a massiv jump! 2 cameras (one with 48 mpix that enables a 2X telephoto), 8 Gig RAM from 3 Gig (which I noticed very much), 6 generations newer CPU, much better battery life, smaller and lighter, OLED display (no problem with 60 Hz)!

[@HoNow222]

Recap: yes there is a slightly improvement and I love apple too much to admit any different.

[@cflynn3684]

Love my 16 ultramarine 256gb. It’s camera, Dynamic Island and a18 chip are a huge upgrade over my iPhone 13 128gb. It also has twice the ram (8gb vs 4gb) and has many pro features like the action button and the same chip and ram as the pro. The previous two base iPhones (15 and 14) which had the last generation chip, the 16 gets the same chip as the pro just like the 12 and 13 but with slightly less cache and 1 less gpu core. I’m willing to live without those to have an iPhone that’s closer to the pro than ever (even having the same 8gb ram and features). Apple intelligence is nice because I can type to Siri and it can predict responses for texts and it’s very useful to me. The pro max looks dope af, especially with that gameboy emulator.

[@simpromovie]

Coming from the XR I bought the 16 with 265 GB too. This did the much bigger jump this year! Don't need the 120 Hz on an iPhone but on an Ipad! Had 120 Hz ipad Pros since 2017 because I did much more scrolling and reading in that device....

[@Ferrarimangp]

I haven't heard anyone talk about the speaker quality upgrades in the 16 Pro! I was so pleasantly surprised by the striking improvement in sound quality when listening to content from the main speakers, compared to my 13 Pro. This honestly was worth the upgrade for me alone.

[@hamzasherasmat6593]

I think, most people either upgrade way too fast or just criticise the other side without knowing well enough. For example, if someone switches to android from iOS, they're going to feel a much greater change despite no significant upgrade unless you had an older iphone

[@Fer65432Plays]

It’s undoubtedly better in performance and quite noticeable. I wish it could last a full day from around 6 AM to 10 PM, but unfortunately, it doesn’t. Consequently, I still need to rely on the MagSafe Battery Pack. Additionally, I wish the low-light performance, particularly in photography, were better. When comparing it to my previous iPhone 13 Pro Max, I was surprised to find that it appeared significantly worse. However, in adequate lighting, it undoubtedly looks much better. When I upgrade in the future I want the low light performance to significantly improve, all cameras to have 48MP sensors, more RAM hopefully 12 GB and a chip as powerful as the M2 chip.

[@Äpple-pie-5k]

You can get more out of battery with some settings and shortcut automations, about +33% depending how much you need to.

[@robhingston]

Definitely a better signal with the X75 modem on the iPhone 16 Pro. I know of a lot of black spots where I live that I could never get a signal on any previous iPhones, but now I can get on 4G and 5G signals in areas where I previously could never get a signal, So for me, just for that, it's worth the upgrade

[@viraltube4232]

13% decrees in sales is not a small thing for a company like apple

[@rekcck]

went from iPhone 7 to 16 pro. still holding on to the 7 as an Audible/Apple music player

[@timparker9174]

I loved the part about we are the ones that are living boring unfulfilled lives. Agreed. But I did think the iPhone 16 didn’t have anything that made me want to upgrade my 15 pro for. Cheers!

[@jay.jay.1]

If you had 14 pro max would you upgrade to the 16 pro max and why i would like to know

[@fledgling5616]

Dude, do NOT do it. There’s zero point.

[@Aggie4life77]

Thanks for this video as I agree with everything you said 100 percent! I honestly think that once we get ios18 few bugs updated, this line will go down as one of the solid releases like the iPhone 11 line! There is very little to really complain about outside of a redesign! Even the camera button doesn’t really take away from anything if you don’t like it. Just turn it off or map it for instagram or something. I personally use it to simply launch the camera quickly. I think the 17 line will come out and they may redesign the camera layout and possibly change up the material on the back. Cool, but once you slap a case on it, it will feel like another iPhone from the front lol! That’s no hate to the 17, I’m just saying it’s not going to be this life changing phone. I would argue those days are past us regardless of which brand you buy.

[@ketuanzefrank6549]

As some one moving from the 13 to the 16 pro, I’ve noticed significant difference. The 16 pro is faster, longer battery life and more. If you moved form the 15 or later to the 16 or 16 pro, you might not notice some improvements but they are are different

[@sashbar]

I am not really into mobile phones. I was happy to use a OnePlus 6 for 6.5 years and it worked very well, even the battery stayed strong and lasted for a day and a half after all those years. I upgraded it for an iPhone 16 Pro in November, mainly for security reasons, cameras and to integrate it with my MacBook. My first impressions were: why is it so thick and heavy? It is thicker and heavier than a 6.5 y.o. OnePlus despite having a slightly smaller screen. When I am holding both phones, the old OnePlus 6 feels like a more modern phone. Is IOS 18 a huge upgrade from a 4 y.o. Android? Maybe, yes, is some respects, but nothing ground breaking. The cameras are excellent, bearing in mind the tiny weenie sensor any proper photo camera would feel embarrassed about. The screen is better. The phone is more secure to use, Face ID works seamlessly. The 256 Gb storage is useful. Am I over the moon? Not really. By the end of the day it is just another smartphone with an added not-so-smart AI, which is more of a toy and a gimmick at this stage. Two things that I am happy with are the added security and the cameras. The downside is weight and bulk. Other than that, having spent over an hour adjusting it to my needs and switching off all those dozens of unnecessary, spying and battery draining features, duh, it's just another phone with a camera. You have guessed by now that I don't subscribe to an iPhone cult.

[@simpromovie]

For me the regular iPhone 16 is the "big" upgrade this year. It made a huge jump from the previous iPhones and has the same CPU generation and RAM than the Pros for the first time since the iPhone 11....

[@earljosh5728]

from the bottom of my heart. thank you. ps. been deciding whether to buy the pro max or just skip and wait for the 17

[@hipkoole1637]

I don’t feel totally disappointed in my 16 PM but… the stuttering when pro motion is not working as intended, the phone getting very hot for no apparent reason (much like the 14PM at launch), the intermittent issues with touches not being registered and that most, if not all, Apple intelligence features won’t be available until April 2025 at the earliest (for users in the EU) does make me feel like Apple kinda failed with the launch of the iPhone 16 line. Love the battery life and the screen in general though. Hopefully 18.3 or 18.4 will make iOS feel as intended at launch. Thanks for a great video!

[@Leedscity]

Great video mate. Personally I absolutely love my 16 Pro Max. I upgraded from the 14 Pro Max which I loved but I wanted to shoot in ProRes HDR & Log video, the studio quality mics for better audio capture without an external mic, Apple intelligence has been a daily game changer for me personally in every day productivity usage and I wanted a better performance the A18 Pro chip provides for on device video editing, multitasking and battery efficiency.

[@aaronmelson2887]

I never cared about peoples opinions, I upgraded from the 14 pro max to the 16 pro max and love the phone. I got a storage upgrade this time (from 256gb to 1tb) and I am already using about 300gb's on my new phone. The performance is really good and unlike most people I actually use the camera control button a lot on my 16 pro max. I have never used the apple intelligence and never will. I also have the S24 Ultra and have never used any of its intelligence features either and I've owned that phone since August. The 16 pro max is a great phone. and battery life lasts me all day. If I had more storage in my 14 I probably would have kept it for another year but I am very happy with my purchase.

[@BrentSmithline]

As far as the GQ looks, it is the case it goes into that I am looking at. Goes into a case as soon as it comes out of the box. Technology advances in the area of sound quality is something a normal may not notice however they will benefit from it. For Apple Intelligence to work normals will not need to know how to make it work other than starting it. It will just work.

[@abdallaramadan4528]

it's 100% unjustified hate i upgraded to the 16 pro max from the 11 and that made me feel a lot of difference and I think that this is how it should be. you buy a phone and use it for 4 to 5 years then upgrade. if you have the money to upgrade every year then I think you will need to try a different brand each year so you feel the difference.

[@jhaabhishek]

My iPhone 16 Pro overheats when video recording for more than 5 minutes outside (outside temp - 60f)

[@Piti-t6]

I like the simplicity on things and having all that unnecessary stuff on a phone isn’t what most people need. So I bought an ip15 on a discounted price since the 16s came out and I’m very happy with my purchase since I don’t use apple intelligence and have disabled Siri in general because I have chat gpt notion and chat assistant on my laptop that I need for organising thought on essays and other things for college.

[@BobbyNorman]

Hi Greg. Thank you for your channel. I love my iPhone 16 Pro Max

[@keithhogg1963]

I like this video. I like the Apple 16 Pro Max better now. My question is, Should I upgrade to this? Or wait until the 17 Pro Max comes out? I have an Apple 14 Pro. It’s been fine.

[@janee1115]

Personally I upgraded from a 14pro max to the 16pro max and it was definitely a great choice 😊

[@therealmccoy5670]

I love my iphone16 pro coming from the 15 pro max. I find that I spend more time with life, family and friends instead of scrolling most of the day on social media. I love the normal battery life. Keep me focused on other things in life.

[@thatampguy]

Siri is going to cause a lot of divorces

[@Warped9]

The smart phone has become quite mature such that there is very little difference year-to-year or even over two years. I currently have an iPhone 14 I’m very happy with. It replaced my iPhone 8+ which gave me excellent service. I probably won’t upgrade until iPhone 17 or more likely 18.

[@76williamsbh]

People are totally spoiled. I am still on 15 Pro Max but I used to be someone who upgraded every year. I just don’t see the need now. It’s not boring by any means but my 15 Pro Max is still so good and for once I want to go a couple of years and be wowed by the upgrades. We have just hit a point where there is very little that can be done with hardware and somewhat with software. The iPhone is an amazing device. Most quality Android devices are as well barring the cheap junk out there.

[@DojoOfCool]

When the average user doesn't notice much of a different this is what matters and what that we affect sales. Sure Mac zealots are going to dig deep to justify their love, but to the average Apple customer if they don't notice it in their daily use it doesn't matter to them. That is true of all types of products not just Apple stuff the average buying are the ones spending the most money and keep stockholder happy. Do I own a iPhone 16 no, I still have my iPhone 14 and from what I'm reading about what coming don't plan to update my iPhone for quite awhile. Even my Mac's for my audio work I don't see a lot going on to make me think about updating for awhile. Technology has plateau'd and I don't think that is going end anytime soon especially with the economy getting worse.

[@andyH_England]

Apple announced their analytics that prove phone users are now upgrading on average every four years, so they sensibly understand that you can spread upgrades over that 4-year period. Even Samsung now understand that and are copying. This is common sense and logical. People that upgrade yearly are a small percentage.

[@DojoOfCool]

@@andyH_England I think the bigger problem is the smartphone market has matured technology wise and not a lot more to add to smartphones. AI is the one place phone makers are hoping to give them updates to lure people into spending money. Apple long term focus with the silicon has been for robotics and AI server farms. There is already talk about M6 moving back to more traditional chip design because for AI server farms that make more sense.

[@RBB52]

Greg, I agree with your 100%. I have an iPhone16 pro (upgraded from an iPhone 14 Pro) Although the 16 Pro looks very similar to the 14 Pro, it does have some nice upgrades. I do like the emoji creator (I thought Luke Miani's emoji looked really cute...could not understand why he did not like it.)lol

[@franzvictorino3229]

Upgraded from iPhone 11 to iPhone 16 pro. The only complaint for me is the camera app, it consumes too much battery and makes the phone hot. The rest are totally fine with me. 😊

[@cyb3r1]

The Apple fanboydom in here has reached levels that shouldn't even be possible. Apple has stopped innovating and has been releasing the same shit year after year, they have released their buggiest iOS version yet, iOS as a whole has turned into an utter buggy mess with no direction, focus or vision, they created a whole marketing campaign on a feature that didn't even exist and the bits that were rolled out are highly underwhelming. The Apple apologists need to take a seat... the only "praise" I hear is slight camera improvements and microphone improvements as if that's reason enough to upgrade. Apple is losing its touch and that's a fact.

[@Liquoricilicious]

I'm worried about the dynamic island eyesore. I wanna watch widescreen movies on my smartphone. I also found it difficult to transfer files to my old iPhone 6 since I use a Windows PC, but maybe that has changed?

[@lucaswild]

I have the iPhone 16 Pro and it’s great and I’m loving it! Camera control is fine, but the cameras is the best! Battery is ok and the performance is awesome!

[@Soulflyy992]

I wish we could get another 45 mins to an hour of battery. 😢that was a huge disappointment but the phone is amazing.

[@karlfran0404]

I got the 16 Pro and love it. I upgraded from a 12 Mini, and in every way this phone is great. Battery, performance, feel in my hand, camera, Dynamic Island and yes, even Apple intelligence emojis are fun.

[@leebeeskee]

Went from 13 Pro to 16 Pro and I love it. I enjoy tech in general and the 16 Pro is very nice to use day to day

[@ryanduffy5887]

Most of the hate is apple intelligence slowly rolling out months after the phone is released after hyping up apple intelligence for months before hand which is fair. I do think though once apple intelligence is fully integrated it will be great

[@andyH_England]

But the majority of iPhone (all phone users TBH) users do not care about AI, and creators make a big thing of it as it attracts the ihaters that love to see Apple trolled. All my family use iPhones, eight of them and six had not even heard of Apple Intelligence and the other two when explained, could not care. Tech YT bubble is not the real world and your analysis is supporting trollers and flexing for money by many influencers. Latest data suggests AI has made little if no difference to phone sales.

[@ryanduffy5887]

@ I am the same, we are all iPhone users and I’ve zero complaints. My devices do what they are meant to really well.

[@FunkDoobie903]

No split screen multitasking, floating windows. 🤣🤣😭

[@syzygy5271]

It’s because everyone is suddenly an armchair tech guru. To the masses, real innovation is making the phone look different. If apple released the same exact phone next year with a fresh body, they’d praise apple for being so innovative. They don’t actually know anything about tech. If they did, they’d would either appreciate the internal upgrades, or they would have a Samsung.

[@bridgetweaver-hicks8086]

Great video, I love my 16 Pro Max❤❤❤❤

[@kamilruszkiewicz4496]

I have 15 pro max and wife just got 16 pro max. Love the bigger screen, noticeably longer battery life and desert titanium is sexy. But yeah I think I’ll keep my 15 pro max for another 2 years and I’ll get iPhone 18. No point upgrading every year or two.

[@realdjroberto1]

The hate is real because, Apple released an unfinished product. I’ve had a horrible experience with the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Let’s hope third time is the charm. First device had a bad 5G antenna. Second had a bad modem. So, far so good the third device seems to be working. I think Apple should’ve partnered up with Google and just given us Gemini instead of Siri and the horrible experience of Apple intelligence. I hope it gets better eventually.

[@melmarkochia]

From Iphone 11 to Iphone 16 pro max is priceless❤

[@Mmacrossfirekenai]

I have to agree that despite the overall disappointment of Apple Intelligence, the 16 Pro Max is still a solid phone otherwise. And that's coming from a 13PM to 15 PM and now 16 PM. I also upgraded my laptop to to M3 Max which is one year old now and it is still a champ. But I do think there are some danger signs for Apple with respect to AI and their ability to continue making the iPhone better inside and out - on time.

[@Soulflyy992]

I love it my 16 pro. The battery is pretty bad though. I agree everyone is bored with their lives and want the phone to make it more fulfilling.

[@franminach]

mine has very subpar battery life too 😭

[@Soulflyy992]

@ super disappointing. To get a smaller phone we shouldn’t have to suffer in battery THIS much. I get it’s a smaller battery but it’s ridiculous

[@adonaivictor4493]

By the “5g cutout” on my 15 pro max I get the feeling the 16 pro max was suppose to be what the 15 should have been. Idk I stopped trusting Apple after the 64gb memory on an iPad

[@ndlessndless]

I have an 16 pro max 1tb black titanium perfect phone nothing to say 10/10 Im coming from a 15 pro max as well It just feel good on the hand with the new camera control its like a grip the phone stay in the hand

[@JimKanaris]

💯 The 16 PM, my particular poison, is phenomenal. Apple marketing probably has to take some of the heat for all the hate, but once one takes the phone for what it is and uses it on the daily, dissatisfaction with it, one quickly comes to see, is not phone's fault. The screen is "gorgina" and the battery is brilliant. Camera control is alright but it shouldn't feed the expectation that breeds disappointment. Apple Intelligence, too, is, well, meh. I find myself enjoying Genmoji but that doesn't contribute to my appreciation of the device. It's simply exceptional, and I'm coming from a 14 PM. The 16 PM is hands down the best phone I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot, inside and outside Apple's so-called walled garden. 👌

Too big. Found the 15 Pro too bad and instead of reducing the bezels coupled with improved processor efficiency and screen efficiency that improve battery life so they could make it smaller, they instead put on a bigger screen and make it overall even bigger. Stop it.

[@johnphilipjamesmorrow]

Love your work, Greg! Just a quick one for clarity - you simply state "16 Pro" in the title and refer to it as such many times throughout the video, but then you also show both the Pro AND Pro Max together a couple of times and then quite often refer specifically to your Pro Max (which I assume is your daily driver) - is this video referring to the full Pro range (Pro and Pro Max), or the Pro Max only? As a 16 Pro owner, my main reason for clicking on the video was to see what the hate was for the Pro and your reasons why they're wrong, but then it felt like you were perhaps only talking about the Pro Max. Either way, I upgraded from a base iPhone 12 to the 16 Pro (not 16 Pro Max, haha!) and beyond not having any real issues to speak of, am absolutely LOVING the experience - from bezels to screen quality to refresh rate to tricks and tips to camera to ease of use and how it runs on iOS 18 and more, every day is just a joy on an upgrade that I have found to be truly worthwhile. Good on ya, sir!

I have never really cared about the exterior design. I like the design since it came out.

I've never had an iPhone. I've always used android, currently on the pixel 7 pro. I was thinking about trying iPhone simply to see another operating system. After looking at various sources I've heard that the next 17 pro is probably going to get a redesign and some extra ram and potentially carbon silicon battery. I was going to get the 16 pro max but with apple intelligence being so heavily pushed but not even released at launch and instead rolled out over time. It feels like buying into a promise with it only being fully rolled out close to the time of the 17 line up. I've also heard that people are experiencing very strange bugs with the screen going blank randomly and when recording. So I'm torn between the next pixel 10xl and the 17 pro max later this year. The pixel will probably keep with tradition of giving the new phone a free year of Google one for a year with gemini advanced. The reason I didn't go with the pixel 9 xl is because the 10xl will be using TSMC next time. I don't game on phones, but photo and video is an important feature for me.

If you really want the best Android phone, go with either the S25 Ultra or Pixel 9 Pro (if you want an iPhone like Android phone). Or you could wait for the Pixel 10 Pro and compare it with the S25 Ultra. But if you really want an iPhone, wait for 6 months after they release the iphone 17 Pro to iron out any issues that may arise during launch.

I think you are correct , people have stupid expectations , in the end these are just media and communication devices , these dipsticks expecting life changing magical features that will change their mediocre lives are just delusional. It’s not like earlier days when phones were new technology and quite unrefined where we consumers couldn’t wait every year for the new model to see well needed improvements in hardware and software. If I go back to my 2017 phone a galaxy S8+ , that phone could take quite good photos , it performed fairly well and it had a pile of hardware features , the following year my Galaxy note 9 was the hamburger with the lot that in many ways even shames todays Galaxy ultra( I still use that phone around the house at times), phones have gotten a bit more powerful with extra camera features , a bit more power and more refined software, , but in the end these latest model phones can’t do much more than 6 year old phones , and in some ways they can do less , due to companies removing some hardware features , but no denying they do everything faster and with less fuss than the oldies due to refinement. I look at one two hate videos to see if they are legit problems, more often than not they are just click bait for tubers to get their view count up , it’s got to the point where often it is the same offenders doing the hate videos time and time again, I actively no longer view these sorts of negative videos.

Genmoji gotta be the best feature from Apple intelligence

[@shazamcawdwell3426]

I went from a 13 pro to a 16 pro and the battery is so much better and the phone is way faster Ster

[@nurajones-yg9nl]

I am happy with my iPhone 16 pro.My old iPhone 13.I love the pics and videos which is shot in 4k.Amazing upgrade for me for iPhone 16 pro.Love it so much ❤🎉.

[@porkchop8131]

Great video

[@mauriceschoenen]

Love the 16 Pro in Desert Titanium.

[@vinurakithmal1910]

Only disappointment is that no design change for the 16 pro or pro max, people asking oh you got a new iphone, is that 14 or 15, gosh i need to say that it's a 16 😂 Other than that all good Battery life was awasome out of the box but i think after 18.2 i see a bit of a down, may b im wrong and just my mind, photos becomes a bit dark after processing than it actually shows before the image was taken, phone will get hotter when using the AI features, ofc expecting a fix for that in 18.2.1 Other than that all good, I've been a samsung S series user for almost 15 years, a bit disappointed in the first month because of the less brighter and sharper display, but now im used to it 😅

[@lestat1886]

Apple Intelligence is available since the 15 pros it seems so why reviewing it as a part of the 16?

[@kurtokyere007]

Went from iPhone 12 to 16pro and I’m really happy with my new device

[@emmakusvlog1775]

I will only buy an iPhone if Apple decides to drastically shrink the dynamic island.

[@yourikhi]

I don't know y people hate iphones...I am not rich.. always buy refurbished iphones...still have 12 pro myself and 13 pro with my wife....they are basically brand new....take awesome photos and killer videos... iphones are actually most cost effective phones....I just have iphones..no MacBook nothing like that....I don't get it when people say you r locked into apple system....

[@Aceg-g2u]

Almost 8gb to have apple intelligence on the phone I’d rather have the phones storage apple needs to address this especially on their still 128gb phones

[@adebanjoabayomi1892]

Haptic on iPhone is so underrated

[@larryhinson947]

I can't give up Gemini for apple unintelligent... or the atrocious way ios treats back button. And when will ios allow for 2 apps in split screen. This is why I can't get an iPhone at this time. Oh, also I hate the 30% apple tax in the appstore.

[@muhammedsinan3156]

You need to take the industry benchmark. See how much improved Samsung, pixel, vivo, oppo .. devices are. You won't notice a major difference in 11 pro and 16 pro images. That's the problem. Apple lost the generational gap in photography, performance, optimisations. iOS used to be the flawless kid, now it's having too many bug's and waiting for AI where competitors are in Gen 2.

[@Carfan678]

Upgraded to 16PM from X and probably won't be upgrading till at least the iPhone 21PM🤣

[@KriTaKriTaKriTa]

I love the iphone 16 pro max. It has a beautiful and large screen, it feels somehow slimmer than the iphone 15 pro max, even though they are the same thickness. I am a woman with small hands, while the iphone 16 pro max is not big at all and it could even be a little thicker. I also have an android phone, but they just can't compete with the iphone, yet, because iOS is smoother, faster, more convenient, and a well-handling phone and the camera is very good! I feel, see and experience that the iPhone 16 pro max is of very high quality both inside and out and I like that the iPhone design is still the same, although it has been gradually changed a little, so I really hope that the iPhone will not be changed too much, because otherwise it will no longer be an iPhone. For my sake, let these fools scream, “that the same iPhone as every year and that it is a boring phone”, then I can boldly say that exactly the same can be said about Android phones like Samsung and many others, all this is just the cry of fools and either these people do not have a Living Life and or there is no life outside of phones, because the iPhone has changed its phone design quite a lot in recent years, whoever does not see or feel it is blind! So, the iPhone is of high quality inside and out and this AI program is not for me anyway, for that I have a mind, hands and feet to find and explore what I want, although I have also started using the iPhone too much, I need to get myself in order more!

[@yamahass66]

I hate it it's so bad, everything exceptbuild quality and speakers.There is no difference from 5s and se to 15pm. Thankfully returned the 15pm since i missed my samsung s21 so bad. Im so happy to save the 1600 dollars also on top of that.

[@jaco1521]

I agree with you. Apple makes the best quality hardware and that’s not going to change.

[@Steve-racer]

Did Apple shoot you and e-mail ? First cnet does a video on studio quality on mics. Now you bring it up too. Looks like Apple sales are slowing down. A survey done most people don't care about AI. I think apple is smart to use chat gpt. So when AI fizzles out they don't have a big investment in it. If I'm wrong about AI and I'm not, Apple will charge a monthly service fee.

[@andyH_England]

Apple has already stated that they see AI as part of iOS and have no intention of charging for it. Of course, if you use ChatGPT via Siri you will have limited access and have to buy a subscription if you use it a lot, and no one should complain about that. Studio quality mics, they are good but I would not buy a new iPhone just for that. I agree about AI, the vast majority could not care, and even I do not use it and I am a hardcore techie. Apple sales are no doubt slowing down, the whole industry has peaked.

[@appleztooranges]

My 16 pro max is nothing great. I kinda miss my 13 pro max

[@Aggie4life77]

It’s definitely an upgrade from that, but not life changing. Brighter screen, better speakers, satellite, better cameras, faster chip, better mics, Always on Display, Dynamic Island and Apple intelligence which as Greg said will have Siri 2.0 which is what people are really waiting for! It will also have additional AI features that the 13 Pro will never get. With all that said, you could have waited for the 17 no problem.
