Why the iPhone 16 Plus is Pro Enough!

[@brandonminiman]

The plus is such a sleeper. What people don’t realize is that it’s like the max but thinner and lighter

[@GhastlyHunger]

Because people will still choose to pay more for ProMotion models even if their 60Hz displays are almost as good and lots of them can't even tell the difference anyway.

[@mariogrifus8020]

@@GhastlyHunger only ignorant people dont understand the difference from 120hz to 60hz on android device of 400€ you find it

It really is a sleeper. Most people don’t care about 60Hz and just want a bigger iPhone. But you made a great point!

[@deon.zoldyck]

My mother upgraded her phone to the new iPhone 16+ from her iPhone Xs Max. I have an iPhone 15 Pro 256GB variant from last year and I have to say that it is a pretty good looking phone and not to add how light it is. The 60hz definitely not really as poor as people in the tech community make it out to be and I’d even have the refresh rate disable on my device to 60Hz from time to time to save power. Also, not to mention how much bigger the size of the CAMERA bump compared to the XS Max.

[@BangtanOT7613]

I also upgraded from the xs max to 16+ and I’m noticing such a vast difference between the both especially in battery life and I’m loving my experience with it. The camera button is also kinda cool

[@pochiyonc3]

This is me as well. From XS max to Iphone 16. I love it soo far

[@demonslayer5613]

The fact is the only reason for the 60hz is cause it's cheaper for apple. A trillion dollar company. They can easily just put the 120hz in standard iPhone.

[@danidavis3716]

Went from the 12+ to 16+ in the gorgeous pink!! I’m totally impressed with the sound quality and battery life!! I find the plus to be more then enough for me

Not just the plus, the regular 16 is already enough.

Sure, but battery in the plus is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MrOrtmeier]

The regular iPhone is the one everyone should buy every year. It drives me mad seeing people who you can see are NOT techies using a Pro. They literally have no idea how to use the extra features, and have no need for vlog, RAW etc It's just about status, which is always a bad idea.

The best choice of iPhone for the average content consumer.

[@chaoticxkam7598]

I’ve only had my 16 plus for a couple days now but I did upgrade from a 13 that finally died after a year of life support and I love it. It’s honestly similar to my 13 just obviously bigger screen, way better battery life and the screen not freezing up or lagging is a huge plus. I don’t rlly care much for the cameras on phones in general cos I use handheld cameras but the camera button is a nice touch !

[@hollyd8350]

I’m coming from 13 to 16+ also. It’s coming next week!

I got the 16 plus in ultramarine. I absolutely love it and it is noticeably lighter than the 13 Pro Max I traded in for it. Apple gave me 400 bucks in trade. Happy as hell.

I just upgraded a few days ago from a sierra blue 13 pro 256gb to a white 16 plus 512gb. On the daily I watch KZbin and scroll on Reddit. For work I type notes on my phone. So far I’m in love. I don’t and wouldn’t utilize the pros amazing camera, I dont transfer files, also don’t care about refresh rate or the razor thin bezels on the 16 pro. I wanted a bigger screen than my 13 pro and didn’t wanna spend the extra again on shit I don’t even use. It’s lighter and thinner than my 13 pro and I

[@sonny5068]

16 Plus is fantastic. Fantastic battery life too

[@HeyMarkL]

Hard agree!

[@iamGermaican]

I get that people rush to comment it’s 60Hz when watching a video for a phone they’d never buy. Not to mention it’s not geared to them. There were over 500 phones released last year on Android. Apple released 4. So why on God’s green earth would they put 120Hz on their base model, which would essentially ruin sales for their pro line? Their customers clearly don’t care

[@HeyMarkL]

See… you get it! There’s a lot of non tech heads that don’t care about 60Hz. I’ve asked multiple friends who aren’t techy and they honestly couldn’t tell.

[@iamGermaican]

@@HeyMarkL thank you! Sadly the tech KZbin space has become an echo chamber. You could list 50 new things that’s different, yet they still focus on the shape of the phone. While I don’t work for Apple, it would make sense to keep the same form factor considering there are thousands of devices on Android. The design has almost become iconic. In fact, almost so iconic that the s24 and pixel 9 were released with a very similar design language. Thank you for not being part of the echo chamber.

[@EvilChickenGamingPT]

While I generally agree with your comment, the issue here is that to anyone coming off a phone with a higher refresh rate the 60hz feeling can feel like a massive downgrade. I understand that they need to make the Pro models worth it, but paying a couple extra hundred bucks JUST to get a phone that doesn't feel sluggish in comparison to the 60hz feel, is a bit silly, especially when there's 200$ androids nailing 90hz just fine The 120hz vs 60hz is like the sole reason I went for Pro instead of Plus, even though the Plus would have been just fine, simply because I could feel a massive difference while trying out both phones at the store, especially a noteworthy downgrade from my relatively cheap OnePlus 90hz display compared to the 60hz 1000$+ Apple display Surely, there are other things Apple could have done to justify upgrading to a Pro model, other than the one thing every other company is nailing just fine even at really low budget phones

[@Himathyyy]

@@EvilChickenGamingPTaverage consumer does not care

[@EvilChickenGamingPT]

@@Himathyyy That's fine, it's still a valid complaint to have about the phone As someone who had a 90hz phone before, going back to 60hz is unironically a downgrade, regardless of any other spec associated with the phone, because the phone just naturally feels slower

I thought, "Exactly!" I looked forward to buying an iPhone 16 Plus because it was similar to my current LG Velvet 5G (yes, I am switching from an Android to an iPhone) in screen size. However, I didn't want the 16 Pro Max because it leaned towards too big for my small hands, plus I didn't need the extra Pro features like that 120hz ProMotion display. However, my mom is begging me to get the Pro Max, I was like, "No way am I getting the Pro Max! It's way too big and out of budget!"

[@shravp769]

Too big. I think the 11 pro max with its 6.5 inch screen was the prefect size but now I feel the bezels are too thick on it. If only I can get a 6.5 inch screen with smaller bezels and pro motion display and an unbreakable kind of material on the back, with no protruding camera lenses that would be awesome. I’m still hanging on to my 11 pro max with 75 % battery health. Might need to upgrade soon

[@Ozymandiusz]

Damn, I feel the same. Using 11 pro max and 6.5 screen is a sweet spot. I can use it one hand but just little more and it’s too much… I don’t feel like I want to go down to 6.1 or 6.3… need to test it more but losing ability to use a phone with just one hand would be a bummer..
