iPhone 16 Pro Review - Don't Buy It

[@袁婉婷]

The color options this year are nice, but I wish Apple would experiment with some bolder choices. The usual silver, gold, and black options are getting a bit predictable. Does anyone else miss the more fun colors they used to offer?

I’m glad they didn’t change the charging speed drastically. It’s nice to have fast charging, but I don’t want to wear out my battery too quickly. That said, does anyone know how the battery life holds up with more intense tasks like gaming? I’ve heard mixed reviews on this.

The improved speakers on the iPhone 16 Pro are a nice touch. I watch a lot of videos on my phone, so better audio is always appreciated. But do the speakers really sound that much better compared to the iPhone 15 Pro? I’ve heard some people say they can barely notice a difference.

Finally, what’s everyone’s take on the environmental impact of these constant upgrades? I love new tech as much as anyone, but it feels like we’re being pushed to upgrade every year. Shouldn’t we be thinking more about sustainability? Would love to hear your thoughts.

The new Dynamic Island feature is interesting, but I’m still not sure how useful it will be in everyday use. It seems like a fun gimmick, but will it actually change how we use the phone? I’d love to hear from someone who’s had the phone for a while - do you find yourself using it a lot, or is it just a flashy feature that you ignore after a while?

I appreciate that Apple is finally embracing USB-C, but I’m wondering if this means we’ll have to replace all our Lightning accessories now. It feels like a hassle to switch everything over. That said, I’m excited for the faster charging speeds and data transfer. Does anyone know if the charging speed on the iPhone 16 Pro is significantly faster than last year’s models?

The camera improvements seem solid, but do you think the 48MP sensor on the iPhone 16 Pro is actually noticeable compared to the regular iPhone 16? I’m not a professional photographer, so I'm wondering if I’d even take advantage of it. The telephoto lens looks awesome, but I don’t use zoom that much anyway. Is it really worth the extra cost?

[@JamesBobbyqa]

I’ve heard mixed things about iOS 18. Some people say it’s super smooth on the iPhone 16 Pro, but others are reporting random glitches and battery drain. Are these just launch bugs, or should I be concerned? I also love that they brought back the compact mode for notifications, but I’m still not sold on the new widgets placement. They feel a bit cluttered.

[@TanyaJenniferr]

The titanium frame on the iPhone 16 Pro is cool, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the price premium. How does it compare to the aluminum frame on the regular iPhone 16? Is it really that much more durable, or is it just a marketing thing?

[@LindaNelle]

I’ve always been a fan of Face ID, but is it just me, or does it still struggle in certain lighting conditions? I was hoping for some improvements there. Maybe they’ll fix it with a software update, but it’s frustrating when it doesn’t work quickly. Anyone else having issues with it?

[@董雅琪]

I love the new matte finish on the iPhone 16 Pro! It finally feels like it’s not a fingerprint magnet like previous models. But, does anyone think the design is getting a bit stale? It feels like Apple hasn’t really changed the overall look in years. The flat edges are still nice, though. But, the weight of the Pro model seems to be increasing every year. Is anyone else finding it too heavy to hold comfortably for long periods?

[@RobertDonneller]

I’m a little disappointed they didn’t increase the base storage again. Starting at 128GB still feels too low, especially with all the 4K video and high-res photos we’re taking now. Does anyone else feel like they’re constantly running out of space, or is it just me? The 512GB model is tempting, but it’s so expensive.

[@孫敏智]

Overall, the iPhone 16 Pro seems like an amazing device, but I’m struggling to justify the upgrade from my iPhone 14. It feels like Apple is focusing more on incremental improvements now, rather than big leaps forward. What’s everyone else’s take? Are you upgrading, or holding off?

[@RodgerChristopherqa]

Has anyone tried gaming on the iPhone 16 Pro yet? I’m curious if the A18 chip actually makes a big difference for mobile games, or if it’s just marketing hype. I’m not a huge gamer, but I do play casually and would love to know if it’s worth considering.

[@DavidErmintrude]

Can we talk about the camera bump? It’s getting bigger every year! I know the camera tech is improving, but it makes the phone wobble when I put it down on a flat surface. Anyone else find this annoying, or is it just me? I almost feel like I need to get a thicker case just to balance it out.

[@横森慶子]

Also, does anyone know if the ProMotion display is noticeably smoother? I hear it’s supposed to make a difference with scrolling and animations, but I’m not sure if it’s a game-changer for me. I’d love to hear if it’s worth it.

[@郡由美]

The new display on the iPhone 16 Pro looks amazing! But is it really worth upgrading from the iPhone 15 Pro? I feel like the differences are pretty minor. I love that Apple finally increased the battery life, but I’m not sure if it will make that much of a difference day-to-day for regular users. Anyone else still worried about the durability of the new glass, though? I cracked my last iPhone so easily.

[@AvaWekey]

Can we talk about the price, though? The regular iPhone 16 seems to be a better deal for most people. The Pro model feels like it’s only worth it for power users. Is anyone else feeling like Apple is pushing the prices too high these days? $1000+ for a phone feels steep, even with all these features. I’m considering keeping my current iPhone for another year just because of that.
