iPhone 16 Pro vs Pro Max After 25 Days - Don’t Be Like Me..

After two years using the pro max this year I decided to buy the 16 pro. I am not going back to pro max. So much easier to reach the whole screen. I can put it in my pocket. But the best advantage is that my wrist doesn’t hurt any more.

[@topspot4834]

Same with me. I've always used big phones, back when they used to be called phablets. Had the 14 Pro Max and got the 14 Pro and love it. It's all the screen I need and I really like the lesser weight. It's perfect imo, and idk why people aren't making a bigger deal about the bezels, to me it's very noticeable.

I had the 15 pro max for the 5x camera, but I found it too uncomfortable in my hand and had to use reachability a lot, so when I heard the 16 pro max was even taller, I knew I’d be switching to the pro. Still getting used to the smaller keyboard again, but I like the size a lot better overall.

I have an iPhone 12 and ordered an iPhone 16 Pro Max. Reason I did this: Never had a pro max, I usually keep my phone 4 years so for myself there's a huge increase in features. What went against the regular pro on my end was the fact that it didn't came with 256GB at the entry price like the pro max did. For yourself Brandon, if you switch every other year it doesn't mean that much, but I'm taking into account the next 4 years.

Pop sockets are still my go to for grips. I have a MagSafe plate i can remove for wireless charging and the grips are interchangeable with one base. I have never been let down by a popgrip. Also as a female I don’t feel strange using one of those cases that have a crossbody strap and look like a purse. So the pro max in pockets issue isn’t really a thing for me. I do r care if I look like a dork, I cannot stand having a phone with a cracked screen or back glass or any dents. It makes me feel like I wasted my money. As soon as I buy a new phone I order cell helmet liquid glass, a good case and a screen protector. I haven’t had to deal with screen replacement since my galaxy note 20 days. I went with the pro max 1tb, I upgraded, enormously from a 12 mini 256, the mini was too small, I had issues typing on it and I’ve never had issues typing on anything, including before we had T9 on Nokia’s 😂 I wanted the huge screen and ample space.

Apple stated “it’s the best battery life on an iPhone ever” and this is due to the larger size of the phone ! Go for the 16 PM !

[@TranceFluenceRadio]

@@coreyb7125 I guess my question is, would the regular 16Pro (NOT RHE PRO MAX) but a regular 16 Pro be on par with battery life to the 15pro Max ? Coz ultimately my decisions as of now are a 15PM, or a 16 Pro, I did feel a 16PM, in store and felt it bigger than I’d like.

[@AlarnaM-24]

theres quite a few videos on youtube of people doing different battery tests if you haven't seen them yet, in one of them i think the 15pm lasted around 8 1/2 hours (i dont remember exactly) and the 16pm lasted just over 12 hours and i think the 16 pro was either 9 or 9 1/2. i dont really remember but the videos are quite easy to find. i haven't seen one where they compare it to anything apart from the 15's and the latest phones from other companies.

[@Jom1r0]

After going to the 16 Pro after using the Max models for years, it's such an interesting trade off. I love being able to use my phone one handed again, but now I have charge anxiety since the battery capacity is pretty noticeable for me.

[@mattjamesss1]

12 PM ro 16 PM was worth the update:) mostly because i waited to get one because waited for dynamix island and the pro chips to be out for a few years:)

[@heyitsjeandee]

How the front camera during lowlight to no light ?

[@artfartzy]

@@heyitsjeandee The front camera is still not all that good in lowlight, rear camera is still the best. So when taking a selfie in lowlight I often turn the phone around. I know I can't see myself on the screen then but once you know how to hold it and where to look at the camera lense it works fine.

[@BimmerWon]

So is 6.9 inches not the ideal size then?

[@nylesprint]

Don’t know how I wasn’t already subscribed. This helped give me confidence in the pro

[@subsonicdeathmonkey]

I purchased the 16 Pro but the buttons are now too close to the centre for my hands so I had to return it for the 16 Pro Max. My mother’s 16 Plus actually feels better in my hand, for what it’s worth.

[@nancydancy2012]

I’m having the same issue, was trying to get used to the pro after using the max for 5 years and now I’m outside the return window and regretting my decision.

[@GonzaloHarriague]

From a 11 Pro Max would you go to 16 PM or pro?

[@Megatsyhm9918]

I’m was previous user of iPhone 11 series , for me it was good choice for upgrade to iPhone 16 series

[@Empekkable]

I like your videos bro. But I always go for the bigger size pause. I just like the bigger screen. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BrandonButch]

Yep that’s always reason to go pro max!

$100 more for the larger screen is a no brainer. Love the ProMax.

[@enicnarflefebvre1]

I have the 13 mini and I will upgrade to the 16 Pro, so it will be quite a big leap for me.

[@MalcolmREBORN]

That's why I stuck with iPhone 15 Pro Max. It is the middle ground now. Honestly, that is an excellent idea to have to play with both models. I will do that repeatedly next year with new tech hardware products from any company. Just buy both sizes and return the most inconvenient one.

[@JMWexperience]

When you get to 70+ years old like me, you will definitely go with the Pro Max.

The 16 is my first Pro Max phone ever. I haven’t looked back. I’m in love. I’m a two handed phone user anyway so the size is not a concern for me. I still have the control center set to activate with the double back tap. It comes in handy

[@81179venky]

I changed rom 15 Pro to 16 pro max for the battery mainly and strangely the battery is marginally better at best. I have to charge the phone everyday surely. It’s not like 50 % the next day so that you can use 2 days without thinking.

[@JustAPersonWhoComments]

I will stick with the 16 Pro Max because of its large screen size and slim bezels. Thanks for this video!

[@candacemansfield3468]

I had gotten the pro max and I returned it to buy the pro. The 16 pro max was huge and I didn’t like it at all. I love your video, thanks so much for all of your points!! Love it. My wrist and hand was hurting from the size of the pro max shortly after getting it. I prefer the pro.

[@malnfc8565]

The weight thing kinda threw me for a loop. I guess if you’re used to the pro you’d notice. I came from a 14 pro max to the 16 pro max and the difference I noticed is that the 16 is noticeably lighter, especially in the pocket all day.

[@CitizenCashier]

As a pro user and has a cousin who has a pro max I like the pro as it's much portable and nicer

[@aneudysrodriguez3977]

I agree with, I bought the pro max and one week later I got switched to the pro. The pro is perfect, the pro max was pretty uncomfortable.

[@DonTreply-dq5et]

I have upgraded from the 14 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max. I upgraded not because I wanted to because it was cheaper than the end. My 14 was giving me battery problems. It was dying every day at 3 o’clock. If you’re thinking about upgrading, I would hold off just because for the most part it feels like the same phone. Even with the new AI features that were added yesterday. It really just feels the same. Like you’re not missing out on anything. If you’re coming from the 14 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max, the screen feels ginormous. It feels like you’ve went from the 14 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max Max. The battery is better than my 14 was. The camera is better. But not so much better where I feel like someone would need to upgrade. The new camera button is fun to play with. And the 14 didn’t have the action button so I’m still looking for a custom action button option that I want so right now it’s just the mute switch.

[@DonTreply-dq5et]

Hope this helps anybody who is debating on keeping their 14 or upgrading.

[@ramf949]

Moved on from 12 pro max to 16 pro max. It’s a difference. As a guy, it is not pocket friendly & heavier as well.

[@TheGeekGauntletPodcast]

Sticking with my 16 Pro Max. Loving the size and the battery life. I am coming from the 15 Pro and it was too small for me.

[@MatthewVlossak]

Same for me! My 15 Pro also overheated. Sold it at 90% battery health.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

For me, it comes down to the larger screen on the max. I went to just a pro on a 13 the last time I upgraded my phone and I really missed the larger screen of the max so this upgrade to the 16 max was the reason why for me

[@mrsarcasm0]

I went from 13 pro to 16 pro max. I tried both and liked the larger screen. Was not expecting to like it. The key for me was how it felt in my pocket. The larger size fits fine in mesh shorts! jeans and sweats. I also like a larger picture when using a custom camera app. More screen allows me to see camera controls easier. Probably that was the deciding factor.

[@motorjack141]

Regarding battery life, how much of a difference is there? Im on the 15pm, used to last me with heavier use to around 9pm, but after the updates it only gets to 7pm. Does the 16 pro last as long as the 15pm? Also for battery health, will the 16 pro degrade faster since it has a smaller battery?

[@ramanshwadhwa4366]

yes that’s an issue i have personally observed 16 pro’s battery health drops considerably faster

[@motorjack141]

@@ramanshwadhwa4366 yeah because it’s going through more cycles since it has a smaller battery. I actually want a smaller phone that doesn’t sacrifice any of the flagship features and also has a big battery. I was hoping the Vivo X200 mini would be the answer, but it isn’t, camera department is sacrificed. Xperia 5 series was also a good option but it’s gone now.

[@BrandonButch]

@@ramanshwadhwa4366 battery health does not differ based on model. Never has 16 Pro lasts almost as long as my 15PM. I only charge once per day just like with the 15PM so no major difference day to day

I recently got the iPhone 16 Pro Max, it is my first time with a big phone and I got used to it pretty quickly, it is pretty light and comfortable and I love the big screen

[@satxrnhimself]

Hi Brandon, should I trade in from regular 14 Pro with 87% bh from February 2023 to 16 Pro Max or wait for the 17 Pro Max? And if the 16, should I go for the 16 Pro or 16 Pro Max? I have large hands and want better battery life but the 12pm was too big for me for 1.5 years of use, but the 14 pro has much worse battery life and it's heavier for some reason but is more compact and convenient, but the keyboard size on the pro max is more convenient for me.

[@ShayCharie]

Thank you for this review ! I am upgrading from the 13 pro max. Speakers are going out seems like 😢😮 this video makes my decision easy to upgrade!

[@laurablockley1269]

Really helpful video, thank you. I’ve chosen the 16 pro and am currently on the 13 pro max. Chose the 16 pro over the max after looking at them both in store. The max was just a bit too big imo and not necessary due to having the same features. Seems like I’ve definitely made the right decision.

I'm still waiting for mine 16 Pro. Can't wait. Going from 12 Pro. But the 16 is still sold out in the Czech republic.
