ULTIMATE BUYERS GUIDE! - Should YOU UPGRADE to an iPhone 16 to 16 Pro Max?

[@winktone]

Mad respect for those who could use iPhone 6 till today. I have an iPhone 12 and I’m already very unhappy with the battery life, lags, etc. It really can’t keep up with me

[@stevennguyen7794]

that's me, my 6 is literally usable. Only good for text and call, a lot of apps dont even work. I'm upgrading to the 16pro

[@amirulmazmi]

Yup. Currently on the iPhone 12 128GB, I feel you. I had the battery changed over a year ago so no complaints from the battery department. But it does lag a little especially when taking pictures/videos for some reason. I just preordered the iPhone 16 Pro and I'm looking forward to the much improved camera, 120 Hz screen, and USB-C!

[@rdspam]

My 8 was approaching unusable last year, so I upgraded to a 15. I can’t imagine a 6, three generations older, would do much today other than phone calls and basic texts.

[@RavenRose91]

I honestly love these videos, you’re about the only person who actually discusses older models. Most tech reviewers either only think about tech specs from last generation compared to the newer generation (which most people don’t do very often). Like, I have an Apple Watch 6 & I definitely want to upgrade to the series 10 but everyone is only comparing it with the series 9 which doesn’t tell me jack 💩. So that you for thinking of those of us who’ve been forgotten by other tech reviewers!

[@Gee478]

I upgraded from 13PMx to 16PMx! I agree with what you said, not life changing but the trade in value helped. I think your video should mention trade in value. This makes a big difference in choosing when to pull the trigger on a new iPhone (at least for me)

[@sharonb.9128]

Brilliant! Why do so many KZbin tech reviewers base the "should you upgrade" question on comparing the new phone to last year's model? Over 90% of people don’t upgrade annually, and no smart corporation would target such a small percentage of users. Apple is likely targeting users with 3-5 year old iPhones. Remember when Apple focused its advertising on the differences between M3 Macs and Intel devices? Critics called it ridiculous and going after "low-hanging fruit," but with 51% of Mac users still on Intel, it made sense to target EXISTING users for an easier transition, not M series buyers or even PC users.

Exactly! It is why I want to make my reviews comparing older phones and devices going forwards. Not comparing the newest ones

Matt thanks for your show. I have usually had my iPhones for 7 years and named them my planned update. I currently own the IPhone 13 Pro Max and named it iPhone 20. Your influence has convinced me I should move ahead with the iPhone 16 ahead of my plan capitalizing on the trade-in value.

I actually replaced my 13PM with a 16P and don’t regret it. There years is a long time, and the battery was at 84% and despite being smaller, the 16P at 100% lasts longer and the form factor is just perfect for me as the max and ultra phones are just too big for one handed use for me and didn’t fit my pockets comfortably

@@NGreedia yeah I made the mistake of getting the 16 pro max after owning the 13 pro. I love it but the size is huge. You can’t go wrong with the 16 pro if one handed use is a priority.

I've got the iPhone 13. Another video I watched had mentioned that some Apple CarPlay features are iPhone 15 or higher, which is what has me thinking of upgrading. That said though, the 15 and 16 both lack colors that interest me. The blue isn't too bad, but I'd much rather have purple, so holding out for that. tbh, I kind of regret trading in my purple 12 for the red 13 I have now, but at the time I liked the idea of funds going towards COVID-19 research. And yes, I do always get clear cases, because I like to show off the color, but the lack of good colors is making me wait. I'll be waiting until the iPhone 17.

I calculated the cost per day going with the 16 Pro Max 1TB and it would cost just under $1.00 per day if I kept it for 4 years.

What I've learned over all those smartphone years, it's better to upgrade when your old phone still holds value. That's why I'm upgrading from 13 pro max to 16 pro max. My previous phones I never sold, because their value was close to 0, so I didn't bother with that.

Going from 11 pro max to 16 pro max, people are saying the 6.7 to 6.9 is minimal but I already got the new case for the phone and my current phone is pretty small within the case.

[@ShanghaiRooster]

Personally I would stick all of the models you put in the category 1. 16/16 plus box in the either, depending on whether users of those old phones (mine is a 4s, and I do also have a 3g stuck in the drawer!) wish to pick up the pro features or just stick with the basic model. It might be most (having not bothered to upgrade in the meantime) would be satisfied with the basic phone, but to think all of them would do so is dubious. People's priorities change over the years.

I have the 14 Pro Max and I’m upgrading to the 16 Pro Max due to Apple Intelligence, camera features and improved battery life, of course there’s USB C which would be a reason on its one in any other year. I mean it’s not for Apple Intelligence I probably would’ve just kept using my 14 Pro Max battery life isn’t great even though it says it’s on 87% Health so that’s even another reason for me to upgrade, I probably will wait until the iPhone 20 for my next upgrade if the 18 isn’t much of an upgrade from the 16 Pro Max

Ty for uploading, and I appreciate what you're trying to do here, but im having a hard time making sense of one key thing in this video. The splitting of the 16/16+ vs Pro/ProMax and Either is unnecessarily complicated, imo. You could have made it much more simple for you and for us by reworking the "chart" to just priority, kinda like a tier list. It seems like virtually all of them are in the "either" category really, and the distinctions between the pro/promax and the regular versions is a bit more negligible than before, with few exceptions for very specific users. You could maybe have a upgrade priority list, and if a phone is physically further to the left it would lean itself more to upgrading to the base version, further to the right is maybe for more pros. Idk, just my 2 cents, im probably off base. Either way, appreciate the insight :)

[@Musicalsfangirl]

They say that if your battery health is at around the 80% mark, it needs replacing. But 9 times out of 10 a battery replacement for the same phone is pretty much as expensive as just getting a whole new phone. You can view it in your settings.

Rather spend more on storage on the base model than Pro features I will only use once and go "Cool" before forgetting it.

I came here for research since my 13 Pro Max has a significantly degraded battery. Takes over a day to recharge fully. But that only started last week. 77% max capacity. New battery costs $179 which sounds ludicrous. I’m considering maybe a 15, maybe used? I hadn’t considered the trade in value before I read some comments. My concerns/needs are always size of screen, weight, and battery life. Use it for calls and games mainly, so camera is not that big a deal. More research needed I guess.

Excellent guide Matt

I’d not upgrade, I have 3 iPhones, the 4, 7, XR and I usually use my iPhone XR, I like to use the 7 occasionally and the 4 I just have for no reason I can think of. I’m probably going to get the iPhone 14 or 15 without the new “Action Button” or whatever it’s called because I love the switch.

I still use the 6s and 8 plus to this day 💪

i was going to upgrade my 11 pro max this year but with the big sell point being the ai features and that we can't really use all of that in the eu + that it's not that appealing to me i'll just wait another year for the 17 :)

I currently use an iPhone 14. I'm not planning on upgrading again until the iPhone 20 (which I assume is 3 years away) The only thing that would make me do it sooner is if I felt like I have to

Iphone SE for me is good

I finally pre ordered my iPhone 16 pro max 1 TB on Friday the day of the pre orders, I pre ordered it from Verizon… I got the desert titanium. It’ll be delivered to my house on the 27th of September.

I will still keep my iPhone 13 until the 17,18 or 19 come out haha it’s working perfectly fine for me. I’d rather upgrade my iPad, it’s an iPad mini 1 stopped on iOS 9 only run a few apps and it lags but I’m still in doubt if I upgrade to another iPad mini or a base model, Air or Pro and what generation
