Don't WASTE Your MONEY! iPhone 16 vs iPhone 16 Pro Explained

Dude, you went all out on the production quality of this video. You literally covered everything.

[@CODEDSTUDIO]

I actully like the 16 design more than the pro models, I don't know if it is because the design is different as compare to the pros 3 cameras old same look

[@EdwardCourtney-q4f]

True I agree I used to have the blue iPhone 12 now I got the 16 pro I miss the colors

[@messicomps344]

raw photos and 120 hz are as good a reason as any to get the 16 pro over the 16. there is no reason why either of those features should be kept away from the regular iPhones.

[@callmedru13]

Every phone manufacturer has a base and a premium. There is a reason.

[@elijahdelacruz3204]

Business is the reason. If Apple will add pro motion to the base iPhones it will be most likely 90hz and not 120 to separate the regular from the pros, but to be honest that’s still a good trade off. Raw though? Yeah most people won’t be using that cause most don’t edit photos in photoshop. Raw photos and raw videos are specifically for that reason, for you to do the editing and color grading yourself. Plus take it from someone who as an iPhone 14 pro max, looking at raw photos side by side with regular or HEIF max photos (which the regular 16 do come with), there is zero difference when looking at them straight from the phone. You’re gonna have to take it to photoshop to get the most out of raw photos which again, most people wont use nor do.

[@messicomps344]

@@callmedru13 Samsung have a base S, a bigger Splus, and a premium Ultra. All 120hz, all with the same software. There's no reason Apple should treat the regular iPhone as if it were a budget phone. 800 bucks for 60hz (almost 1000€ in the EU)? That kind of practice will only continue because people defend apple treating their customers badly

[@messicomps344]

@@elijahdelacruz3204 most people will not notice that on the iPads released this year, when you're using the Apple Pencil Pro on apple apps like notes, pages, Freeform, you get a software "shadow" of whatever tool you're using. Since the iPhone 12 Pro I doubt most people use the LiDAR scanner to make 3D models of things. Nevertheless it's there. Let it be a feature you choose not to use, rather than one that forces you to spend a lot more to get on something - essentially - as capable. RAW is an intentional software handicap apple randomly imposed on devices more than capable of breezing through them

If you don't really need them, standard version are just fine. They're also much lighter, which is great for something you're always holding.

The only people that don't care about the 60hz screens are the sad group of folks that are currently using old iPhones. Another reason the 60hz doesn't matter, because Apple nerfs their OS so it feels smooth across the 60hz and 120hz screens. The OS would feel much quicker on the Pro if Apple would let their customers use the actual horsepower these devices have. How are these devices, year after year, on paper, faster than any phone on the market, yet the day to day usage and In Hand experience is markedly slower than Android? Even on far lower spec'ed phones. People always claim that iPhones are Smooth, and consistent, and they are, at the expense of letting them utilize the actual power they have. I believe this is strictly for longevity. That is why you can pick up a 12 or 13 Pro today, and barely tell the difference in them in day to day use. Instead of putting out a smoker of a phone, they are worried about people having the same experience 5+ years later. Cool of you have a phone for 5 years, not so great if you want to actually be able to experience all their On Paper horsepower. The only time it utilizes any of this horsepower is for video so if you don't shoot video regularly, you are getting a nerfed phone. Maybe, someday, the Sheeple will stop buying these at such a clip every year, in the US, and Apple will realize they need to do something different. Until then iPhone users will continue to get the same blah experience. The M4 iPad Pro is a perfect example of how much quicker the experience could be but, for some reason the iPhone users get the short end of the stick, and never even realize it. Do better Apple.

Not all of us can afford new phones every year, even every 2-3 years the difference is minimal for most people’s needs. Only for the enthusiasts.

@@GreenLeafUponTheSky Only people that still use 60hz screens say this.

[@seigoulenmate7366]

120hz on iphone is uncomfortable when comparing to android cause of the slower scrolling for me, it's smooth but it feels slow for 120hz

[@GreenLeafUponTheSky]

I used a iPhone 4, 6s Plus, and 7 before my 16 base, I could care less about 120hz

[@tashdidalam9657]

Whatever you say or try to exaggerate that 60Hz panel is still gonna be the big no no

[@Treborray]

I would grab the 16 in a heartbeat if it had a faster display

[@jevonsims900]

14 Pro has a 120Hz display and 15 Pro has an Action Button plus 120Hz display if you don't like the iPhone 16

[@Treborray]

@@jevonsims900 yea I ended up sticking with my 13 Pro. I had the 16 Pro for 11 hours. I feel like if I’m going to move to the 14 Pro or 15 Pro I might as well just keep my 13 Pro. iPhone 17 it is

[@kjjr3270]

​@@Treborray everyone would grab it then. Apple ain't stupid unfortunately, the customers are

[@Treborray]

@@kjjr3270 this is true. The 17 base will more likely have 120hz. I wonder if they will make the Pro models even faster. I get paid to play mobile games so that would force me to go Pro 😂

[@Cronusjod8]

I wish They release AAA games on Android with upcoming s25 ultra

[@sickj0ke]

If iPhone 16 had a 120hZ screen there would be absolutely NO point to buy iPhone 16 Pro.

[@cl8wnm5n]

And that's why they limit the 16 to 60hZ to incentivize people to get the Pro. It's silly

[@GamingCornerYT]

iPhone 16 pro 1tb cost me £1499 😢 S24 plus 512gb cost me £680

[@monkeyguy80]

This year I will only buy S10 46mm Watch that’s it! All the 16 series phones are meaningless to buy ya!

[@CJ02330]

No way i buy a 60 hz at this price in 2024, i hope the influencers wake up and yell more, this is the only way to move things forward. To defend this, its a total heresy.

[@smf00027]

With this i’ll stay with my iphone 8plus and buy my dream mirrorless camera 😂 a little cheaper than iphone 16 pro

[@bandek4297]

Yeah, don't waste your money...Buy the iPhone 15 Pro

[@missurbanjungle2356]

Where I live (Belgium), the 15 pro is like a 130 euros more than the 16 base. I'm very torn between 16 and 15 pro but I don't get why it's more expensive still :p

16 pro screen size is perfect for me. 16 screen size is small.
