No, it's basically the Iphone 15 pro or pro max. The new camera controll is useless, it's completely wrong positioning. Apple is really rushing phones out now. This is the second year we get a useless button.

I was going to, but I feel a little underwhelmed to be honest, mostly because it doesn't yet ship with Apple Intelligence, so I'm going to hang on until the feature has been released here in the UK, though with that not being for another 3 or 4 months, I feel like I might as well hang on for the 17 Pro to be released at that point.

The iPhone camera is so good that it is really hard to make it better these days. The pictures coming from the iPhone are consistently sharper and more detailed compared to the competition due to having superior file size which allows them to make the default photos up to 24MP. This is something other companies still struggle with

@Karras3532 сағат бұрын
I got a 16 Pro to replace a 12 Pro. Its feels like a pretty solid upgrade. I think I'm only really going to notice the difference with the screen with I have them side by side. I appreciate the better camera and dropping lightning is also a plus. Not sure about the camera button yet. It works quite well for what it is and its in a pretty good position for me to take pictures one handed in both landscape and portrait. But I'm not sure if its really better than using the touchscreen. Unless I find myself badly wanting an even larger screen or more storage (and if the battery holds up), its hard to imagine wanting another one inside of 5 years

If you use a third party software like iMazing, it will give you the battery capacity of an iPhone. It says the design capacity for the 16 Pro Max is 4630 ma. Some sources claim it is 4685 ma. Apple always seems to give you a little more battery capacity than stated so that it shows 100% battery health for a longer time as it degrades. My new 16 Pro Max is showing an effective total capacity of 4837 ma, which is 104.5% of the rated design capacity. Same thing happened with my 14 Pro Max and the battery health was still at 100% after 2 years and careful charging to about 80%. So its not surprising why people are getting really long battery life with the 16 Pro Max.

I upgraded from the 14PMN to the 16PM. Only because I got screwed on upgrading after some things happened. The 16PM is much lighter than my 14 and I didn't think the bezels would make much difference but it "feels" a lot bigger. I would say any of the 3 would be an upgrade for you. I would say to go to 15 or 16 though because of USB-C. I didn't mind having both chargers but now only one cord is nice.

Hey, I have a question about the photos and camera. What is "PRO raw graded". Is this setting on the phone or does this mean the photo was edited on a photo editing software?
@joshvar2 сағат бұрын
"PRO RAW Graded" refers to images captured in Apple's ProRAW format that have been color graded or edited. ProRAW is a format available on certain iPhone models (including the iPhone 16 Pro) that captures more data than standard formats like JPEG or HEIC, offering greater flexibility for editing, especially with exposure, color, and dynamic range. In this case, "graded" suggests that the photo has been processed or edited-likely using a tool like Apple's Photos app or a third-party editing software such as Adobe Lightroom. The RAW format allows more extensive adjustments without losing quality, and "graded" means the image has been enhanced after being captured, either for better color, tone, or style. If "PRO RAW" is enabled on the phone, the photo was likely captured in this format and then edited, either automatically by the device or manually in editing software.
