iPhone 16 Pro User Review after 30 days of usage - The Good & Bad

[@geekyranjit]

Note: Many of you are asking for the truecaller integration like what I did, please note that it works only with the paid version of Truecaller and in that it would create a Siri shortcut to invoke truecaller by calling Siri, you can then customize that shortcut to be invoked by double tap at the back.

[@nikhilPUD01]

Hello sir, what do you think of this green line display issue? My sister's phone, a Samsung Galaxy M52 5G, which is now 3 years old and not in warranty, had a green line display issue suddenly. There was no software update or anything at that time. The phone was on charging, and when she checked her phone, the phone was very warm to touch, and there was a green line on display. Is it right to avoid buying an Amoled display phone? What do you think of these defective parts from the brand itself?

[@aithal97]

@geekyranjit You said phone will warm up a bit while charging Which charger you use? I am using Belkin 30w charger I have read that belkin is partnered with Apple for products Is it fine using this charger? If you have seen any long term review wrt battery health plz drop a comment

[@aojesh]

This is the Legendary Ranjit review that We were waiting for 😍🔥 Slight correction: You just have to change language to English (US) but region is India only

[@ash97brahma]

Few things to bear in mind- 1. Fast charging will degrade battery life. Use 20W charger only. 2.Starting with iPhone 15, NavIC is supported. It is useful for emergency alerts. Satellite messaging helps in remote areas where there is no mobile network connectivity. 3. AI models need not be limited to Large Language Models as in India we are moving towards Small Language Models finding practical use in banking applications. The 8 GB unified memory would not be a bottleneck as processing is distributed among Apple’s on-device chip and remote servers in data centres. To go full-on with edge computing Apple will most likely have to come up with its in-house quantised nano language models.

This is the most practical review I have seen for the 16 Pro. While considering a purchase, I find it helpful to understand the day-to-day usefulness of an updated product. I appreciate that Ranjit provided insights into the practical aspects of the product, particularly for Indian consumers. However, it is important to note that the pricing remains a concern, especially considering the 128 GB storage capacity and the fact that it is assembled in India. Overall, this is a genuine and informative review that provides valuable insights for potential buyers.

Ranjit sir you are one of my favourite and go to tech reviewer. I really do admire you. No nonsense straight fact. Also I would like to add to the video that most of apple intelligence features as of now are ready for US region only. It feels bad that India being a top customer base for apple, it isn't in its top list in terms of software support. Shame on apple.

[@SAMDEAN30]

As always, thank you for the fantastic review of the iPhone 16 Pro! In my personal opinion, when comparing RAM in Pixel vs. iPhone, it’s worth noting that iPhones use NVMe for secondary memory, which is significantly faster than the UFS storage used in Pixel devices. This enables iPhones to handle memory swaps at much higher speeds, reducing their need for as much RAM, especially for AI tasks. Additionally, the AI models running on mobile devices are much smaller than full foundational models, making high RAM requirements less critical on these devices.

[@sandiepyaadav]

[@shoumilsachan672]

I've been using the 16 Pro Max for about 3 weeks now, and whatever gripes you are having about the device are exactly how i feel using this phone. Overall a fantastic phone, but Apple Intelligence for the future will be an issue with 8gb ram. Should've been atleast 12 considering Apple thinks they are very good at ram optimisation for other tasks so sparing enough ram for LLM models. But I do think eventually after 4-5 years when LLM models on device becomes common, the baseline would be 16GB of RAM.

I am also using the same 13 pro for last 2 years and quite happy with the phone as it does almost all things and the newly added voicemail. But I am a heavy BGMI gamer and I feel the performance sometimes lags. Otherwise no complaints except the battery health whose reason is well known to all Apple users.

[@bhupeshsharma1840]

As always, complete facts covered in review! It would be great to see geekyranjit taking a look at battle of samsung vs apple ecosystem for people planning to invest in either.

[@swatterflyer]

One thing about the difference between android and iOS is their RAM management. I have used Pixel, Oneplus and iPhone 13Pro (current), Apple's smartphone usually come with the lowest RAM in comparison to their android counterparts but the memory management is always equal or on par with that of android flagships. But only time will tell if 8 gigs in the 16 lineup is enough or not for the next 4-5 years.

[@sumeetsaggar]

Sir , i follow your videos since long time, but with due respect @17:40 you need to think again , that this device can be charger upto 80% or 90 % or 95% full night via 5 , 12, 18 w, which will keep it cooler too

[@geekyranjit]

Yes it's not true 120hz all the time it goes down to 80-90hz at times, so if you are sensitive you will notice that stutters, so in that department I feel android flagships are way smoother in UI as most of them stay consistent at 120hz in the UI.

very important point on the ram. I too am sceptical about the 8gb. Very likely, this 16 series would have not more than 2 years of full feature support. Apple just announced that their MB Air would now ship with 16gb ram instead of 8gb for no additional cost, so they are well aware of this limitation

[@arjunkrishna1]

The 128GB as minimum storage by Apple and Google are only to sell their cloud storage. When you're recording 4K60, you can fill it up in a few weeks. Luckily I had a hard drive and transferred all footages to it via a laptop. Now with the 4K120, it will be filled up in almost half time. My advice to anyone buying it is to get a 256GB even though it's much more expensive, but helps in the long run.
