The thing that gets under my skin is the fact that people think Apple has to make a drastic change to the outside of the phone. It’s the inside that matters. Every year, the phones do better and better. I couldn’t care less about the outside. The design is beautiful, and it works, so why would they change it?
I agree, and that’s partly the reason I made this video. A lot of people think if it looks the same, then it is the same. But that’s clearly not the case!
@@nickbradley yup. For most tech-people, unless there’s a significant hardware change that applies to their specific niche, then they won’t buy it, cause they already have that solution with them. The reason why I’m upgrading from a 13 pro max to a 16 pro max is the 4K-120hz video recording. I go off-road and film a lot offroad. That 4K 120hz slow motion is far better than any camcorder you can buy today that has the same storage (both hardware and cloud) features and options for slow-mo and ultra-wide shots.
I upgraded from iPhone SE 2020 to iPhone 16 Plus and I’m so satisfied with battery life. Such an insane upgrade I did and I believe I won’t upgrade for few years ❤
Don’t go for the 14 go for the 16 I know it’s more expensive but ultimately it’s worth it. It will have longer support, more features and a better battery so it’s better to just spend that extra money in the long term.
if you’re trying to save a few bucks get the 13 since there’s kinda no differences between the 14 and 13 except for price, but like other commenters have said i think getting a newer model with USB-C will really be worth it in the long run since you keep your phone for a while
I hate that Apple is forcing people to upgrade through the Apple Intelligence, saying that phones under the 15 pro DOESN'T support AI, while I have an exploited iPhone 13 with enabled Apple Intelligence spoofing the Device Model to iPhone 15 Pro on the iOS 18.1 Beta 4. On my iPhone 13, Apple Intelligence works even offline, so it is working on the A15 Chip. That demonstrates that A15 and below devices CAN support Apple Intelligence, it's just Apple forcing users to upgrade. This is so ridicolous

I think the thing is that a lot of the changes aren’t like appealing to a lot of people. Not everyone is super into tech so a lot doesn’t matter to them. My biggest issue with Apple is when they list something as pro but then put it on the base model like the Dynamic Island and action button. Like you got the iPhone 14 Pro because of the Dynamic Island and then the base 15 gets it. Then the action button is a pro feature for the 15 pro then the base 16 gets it. Idk that bothers me but great video btw as well.

I ported my private phone number to the business phone and my employer got me a a dual sim card for both phones. These are good options for both iOS and Android, I like the compact and lightweight iPhone. It has a pretty good main camera but is lacking the telephoto options.

As a benefit we can keep the old ones for free after transferring the company managed apps to the new phone and a factory reset.
Could you do a video about the 15? You didn’t explain the features that well and only talked about the 16. The 15 will be my new phone and I really wanna know more about it. Thanks!
This video was more so about what features you’ll be gaining if you upgraded to an iPhone 16. But in your case, the only part of this video that doesn’t apply are the features iPhone 15 users would be getting if they upgraded to a 16. From the iPhone 14 on, the majority of those features mentioned should apply to the 15. This was my first time making a video like this, so I’ll be sure to do it for more phones in the future. The iPhone 15 is a great phone, congrats on the upcoming upgrade!
I bought base iph 15 this year and super satisfied with everything. IOS 18 even boosted battery life and you wont have any problems. A16 bionic chip in it is super fast and you wont have problems in gaming or just surfing on net
To be honest. I’m on a XR and I feel like I’m gonna upgrade to a IPhone 13. I’ve had my iPhone XR for many years just like my original iPhone SE. I think it’s time I do get it by now because I feel like it’s worth upgrading to a iPhone 13 because honestly. I don’t really like the newer iPhones. Just kinda the same product as the iPhone 11.
1. 99 % people use action button for mute 2. That camara button is useless just gimmick 3. AI,since its delivered on phone rather than cloud, apple make it so that you need to upgrade new phone every year to get more ai features . I would rather stick to chat gpt Only thing i want as an upgrade is 120 herz, it is too much to ask for a 800 dollar phone
I have the iphone xr, just got this from my parents as an early Christmas gift. Althought the 16 does look nice i didnt wanna ask for anything expensive 😂 maybe one day 3 years from now ill upgrade again
I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I could upgrade but I don’t feel like it’s worth $1200. Like yeah it’s better but I’m just gonna get my battery and screen replaced for $400 and wait for the phone to get laggy, no updates anymore or the 2nd battery to degrade. By then iPhones will prob improve a lot more where the upgrades are a massive jump besides something that’s nice but not worth the money. If I’m spending $1k+ I wanna go “wow this is SO much better/insane” not “oh this is slightly better, cool”
Exactly, you want to get what you pay for. I know that overall after the 2-year protection plan from Walmart (I have Straight Talk so getting my phone from there) alongside the Otterbox case the total for an iPhone 15 for me will be about $1,050 including taxes as well. However, I am on an iPhone 8 Plus that’s four years old and on a 73% battery health so I know I would be upgrading majorly for the price I’d pay for when I do get the 15.
I really liked how you showed the new features of the iPhone 16, I believe it was the most detailed video I've seen about it. However, still, I don't think Apple has really invested in this model. I expected more. And the design didn't please me, the lenses are too big. I confess that I miss the old design, with smaller cell phones and a home button. I'm using the iPhone 11 64GB and it meets all my needs. The biggest problem is at the moment is that the battery health is at 78%. For me, it would be quite an upgrade if I switched to the 14 Pro 128GB. (For context, it is important to say that here in Brazil an iPhone 16 can cost more than R$10,000).
I agree. I didn’t focus too much on the pro differences over the years, but an upgrade from an 11 to 14 pro would be significant. One of the only real downsides to the 14 is it was the last to use lightning (instead of USB-C), but if that’s not an issue I think it’s a great choice.
a 14 pro or hell a 13 pro would be a better option than a base 16, might be expecting slightly worse battery life and no apple intelligence, but the pro motion is a necessity, more so than the small unnecessary features
I am so happy you made this video! I am tired of people seeking for yearly changes. I really like apple because they are minimalistic and don’t change the design completely each year. The internal design and the specifications do change which is great! Why should apple reinvent the wheel? 😂
Hello frst time here and nice video !! My contract will end soon and i have the s23ultra , witch phone do you recomend for a average user ? of course i love large screen ,a good batterie and always on display ,good camera .here in Canada the 16plus 128gb is 1,279$ and the 256gb 1,429$. And the 16pro max 256gb is 1,749$ ,yup so expensive here . Do you recomend a contract or i should buy the phone cash and only have my monthly my cellular plan ?
The Always-On display is only available on the pro-models. It's a little tricky for me to answer on how to best purchase the phone. It depends on a number of factors about your specific situation. Overall, if you can afford to buy it outright, then I'd say do that. But I've had good experience with contracts too. You can also consider a 15 Pro Max. It has a large screen, always on display, supports Apple Intelligence, and should be less expensive!
I’m going to be upgrading from the 11 to the 16 in Teal. Seeing everyone talk about the refresh rate has me reconsidering my choices :( did I do the right thing? My 11 is functioning amazingly, it’s just I have slight issues with its battery life and storage, otherwise it’s working perfectly fine. I just needed an upgrade because of the camera.
The 16 is a fantastic phone, and I don’t think you’ll regret it. If you none of your other screens are 120Hz (or if they are and the 11 doesn’t bother you) you won’t have any issues with the 16. It’s the type of thing you ONLY notice when you’re used to it, and then stop using it.
@@nickbradley I haven’t experienced 120Hz on the Pro models ever because they cost an arm and a leg!! 😂 Here’s to hoping I won’t regret the 16 either!! Even though it would be amazing if Apple started putting 120Hz in their base models.
I’m not exactly sure what’s required to record spatial video, but it first appeared on the iPhone 15 Pro. All the previous pro’s have the same camera layout, but don’t support it.
I think that's a great upgrade! It of course depends on more factors other than just the feature upgrades. How you use your phone, the current performance/battery life, and just various costs associated with upgrading should play a role in whether or not you upgrade. But if you do - you're gonna notice a difference.
Thank you! I wanted to include the SE’s into this video too, but it was starting to get too long. I may indeed make a separate video just on the SE upgrades. The video I linked at the end (spoiler alert) is all about the iPhone SE 4 😉
@@nickbradley Nice! 😊 Maybe you’ll make a SE video too, that way I’d know the upgrades I’d be getting. Maybe you could also make a short for fun about the iPhone 1! What It’ll really do is show how far the iPhones come!
@@FunTechVideos Haha I love that iPhone 1 idea a lot! And I probably will make the SE video, but it’ll likely be later this year or beginning of next year 🙃
@@nickbradley Okay thanks! Maybe on the more sooner side, you could make an Apple Watch Series 10 vs older models. I have the series 4, and I’ve thought about upgrading.
i got the basic 16 couple days after launch before i had the iphone XR i battery life needed service the phone said i had low storage even tho i had like 30gb left and the pixels where broken so i needed a big upgrade
@@Mr.Motion5224 I feel like every year or even less they put a new phone out and they fool you into buying a phone and it really looks like the same phone. There’s no real meaning behind anything just to get us to spend another 1200 or better dollars on an iPhone.
@@Slavatoremondo fair, I don’t think iPhones are intended for you to upgrade every year but rather 2 or 3 until enough things have changed. And I think Samsung is the same story
I feel like people think that they have to upgrade a new iphone when they don't have to. Remember the S update on an iPhone that is what we're seeing now but just with a different name and gimmick.
ngl after a few months with the 15 i'm starting to think that i should've went with the 14 pro instead, it has the dynamic island and the telephoto lens (i honestly use the 2x zoom in my 15 more than the 0.5x so i could've benefited with the telephoto lens) and of course a white color. but hey i'm enjoying my 15 so maybe in 4 years i'll switch to the pro for telephoto 😂. i came from the 11 so the real upgrade was the camera! the back camera is waaaaay better than the 11 and the action mode is really useful, the dynamic island looks more aesthetically pleasing than the notch but i really could care less about it.
I use a 13 mini and I’m disappointed that there’s not a mini option anymore. I was actually thinking about going a back to a X however because of the 3D Touch feature.
@@zombieboy2017 that’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard I have a 14 coming from an X and it’s a huge upgrade keep your 13 mini my friend has one and it’s awesome
@@HHh-z2q3r Interesting question. The big differences between them is the pro has an extra telephoto lens (only 3x on the 6.1” 15 Pro), 120 Hz promotion display, and the USB-C port on the pro has 20x faster transfer speeds. The regular 16 has the camera control, but I don’t think that’s good enough reason to choose that one. I think I’d actually go with the 15 Pro.
Why on earth would you do the order of iPhones backwords? Good video tho! Edit: i just didn’t get the concept of showing the features based on the iphone you’re coming from. Just started at iphone 11 and going to 16 while naming the new features per phonr wouldve made more sense
It's just the flow that made the most sense to me. 😅 It's kind of like tiers. If you're upgrading from a 1 year old phone, you get this. If you're upgrading from a 2 year old phone, you get everything already mentioned + this. If you're upgrading from a 3 year old phone, you get everything already mentioned + this, and so on... Thanks for watching and the comment!
I didn't highlight the XS and Pro variants, but the XS is from the same generation as the XR. The X and 8 are from the generation before, and they only support iOS 16.
In short if u have a older iphone(iphone 11 or older i wud say), upgrading to either the 13 or straight to the 16 seems like the play to me. Or if the leaks are anything to trust getting the new iphone se is a really good ides too. Depends on ur budget, personally i would say people should avoid buyinh the 12 or the 14, the iphone 12’s battery life isnt great and the iphone 14 is just the iphone 13.

Could you do a video about the 15? You didn’t explain the features that well and only talked about the 16. The 15 will be my new phone and I really wanna know more about it. Thanks!
This video was more so about what features you’ll be gaining if you upgraded to an iPhone 16. But in your case, the only part of this video that doesn’t apply are the features iPhone 15 users would be getting if they upgraded to a 16. From the iPhone 14 on, the majority of those features mentioned should apply to the 15.
This was my first time making a video like this, so I’ll be sure to do it for more phones in the future.
The iPhone 15 is a great phone, congrats on the upcoming upgrade!
@@nickbradleyOkay! Thank you
I bought base iph 15 this year and super satisfied with everything. IOS 18 even boosted battery life and you wont have any problems. A16 bionic chip in it is super fast and you wont have problems in gaming or just surfing on net
man why does everyone ONLY have an iphone xr istg iphone x is goated
i swear no one talks about the XS either and it’s so good
This video is great, you explained the details so well. Keep it up!
Thank you!
10:04 yes u got USB 3 with high speed, but u also got usb 2.0 cable straight from the box
@@Smartax1307 that is true, and very lame
Im going to use my 11 until 20 comes out :')
Who knows, maybe they’ll release the iPhone 17’s next year, and then the iPhone 18 and iPhone XX the next year 😅
@@nickbradley prob 2X
@@WildPotaot2makes more sense tbh
Im gonna get the 16 2 years later, cuz i want my 16th birthday to be about the number 16
Uff I upgraded from 11 to 14 and now I go 16pro so I feel your pain don’t do it bro at least get 13pro or 15 pro
I'm sticking to my 12 since I recently replace the battery. I'll use it for 2/3 years on then I'll get a new one
I’m staying for the iPhone 14 because the camera quality is better than the 15
Went from samsung a12 to iphone 11 pro im really happy
To be honest. I’m on a XR and I feel like I’m gonna upgrade to a IPhone 13. I’ve had my iPhone XR for many years just like my original iPhone SE. I think it’s time I do get it by now because I feel like it’s worth upgrading to a iPhone 13 because honestly. I don’t really like the newer iPhones. Just kinda the same product as the iPhone 11.
That will be a solid upgrade!
5:41 ima drop my phone and get the cops called on me
1. 99 % people use action button for mute
2. That camara button is useless just gimmick
3. AI,since its delivered on phone rather than cloud, apple make it so that you need to upgrade new phone every year to get more ai features .
I would rather stick to chat gpt
Only thing i want as an upgrade is 120 herz, it is too much to ask for a 800 dollar phone
i have the iphone 7 plus but i’m getting a iphone 14 for Christmas
That is going to be an amazing upgrade!
I have the iphone xr, just got this from my parents as an early Christmas gift. Althought the 16 does look nice i didnt wanna ask for anything expensive 😂 maybe one day 3 years from now ill upgrade again
Just watched this on my IPhone 16. Only feature I wish I had was 120hz fps
The only change I see is that the camera take up more space and stick out more each year.
Such a good quality and format video, thank you sir ❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
@@arshaabdehagh6871 Thank you for watching! 😁
I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I could upgrade but I don’t feel like it’s worth $1200. Like yeah it’s better but I’m just gonna get my battery and screen replaced for $400 and wait for the phone to get laggy, no updates anymore or the 2nd battery to degrade. By then iPhones will prob improve a lot more where the upgrades are a massive jump besides something that’s nice but not worth the money. If I’m spending $1k+ I wanna go “wow this is SO much better/insane” not “oh this is slightly better, cool”
Exactly, you want to get what you pay for. I know that overall after the 2-year protection plan from Walmart (I have Straight Talk so getting my phone from there) alongside the Otterbox case the total for an iPhone 15 for me will be about $1,050 including taxes as well. However, I am on an iPhone 8 Plus that’s four years old and on a 73% battery health so I know I would be upgrading majorly for the price I’d pay for when I do get the 15.
I have iPhone 11 and I'll stick with it until I decide to upgrade to something like the 14 or 15 (at least 2 years from now)
I really liked how you showed the new features of the iPhone 16, I believe it was the most detailed video I've seen about it. However, still, I don't think Apple has really invested in this model. I expected more. And the design didn't please me, the lenses are too big. I confess that I miss the old design, with smaller cell phones and a home button.
I'm using the iPhone 11 64GB and it meets all my needs. The biggest problem is at the moment is that the battery health is at 78%. For me, it would be quite an upgrade if I switched to the 14 Pro 128GB.
(For context, it is important to say that here in Brazil an iPhone 16 can cost more than R$10,000).
I agree. I didn’t focus too much on the pro differences over the years, but an upgrade from an 11 to 14 pro would be significant. One of the only real downsides to the 14 is it was the last to use lightning (instead of USB-C), but if that’s not an issue I think it’s a great choice.
One thing I see absolutely nobody talking about is that spatial video also works on cheaper headsets like the quest 3
Yup, I didn’t realize that - and it’s such a good call out!
@@ExplosivepotatoHD2 how do you get it on meta quest 3 tho?
@@chilliplayz1306 you use meta app to upload the video on and go on files on the vr to see the video
I have a regular 14
I'm on an iPhone SE 2 right now and I think i'll wait till the iPhone 18 Pro.
I was waiting for a companion like this. I’ll go from a 12 to a 16pro but in the new year when the first AI features start coming out.
a 14 pro or hell a 13 pro would be a better option than a base 16, might be expecting slightly worse battery life and no apple intelligence, but the pro motion is a necessity, more so than the small unnecessary features
Apple don’t need to do a commercials anymore, every RUclips channel is selling us iPhones 16.
@@egorkosten 😅
I used to have an iphone 12 but it was trash so I bought a samsung galaxy a53 and im good with it
I had an android with 120hz screen and changed to an iphone with 60hz and i didn't notice any differense.
I am so happy you made this video! I am tired of people seeking for yearly changes. I really like apple because they are minimalistic and don’t change the design completely each year. The internal design and the specifications do change which is great! Why should apple reinvent the wheel? 😂
I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I completely agree with you.
Hello frst time here and nice video !! My contract will end soon and i have the s23ultra , witch phone do you recomend for a average user ? of course i love large screen ,a good batterie and always on display ,good camera .here in Canada the 16plus 128gb is 1,279$ and the 256gb 1,429$. And the 16pro max 256gb is 1,749$ ,yup so expensive here . Do you recomend a contract or i should buy the phone cash and only have my monthly my cellular plan ?
The Always-On display is only available on the pro-models. It's a little tricky for me to answer on how to best purchase the phone. It depends on a number of factors about your specific situation. Overall, if you can afford to buy it outright, then I'd say do that. But I've had good experience with contracts too.
You can also consider a 15 Pro Max. It has a large screen, always on display, supports Apple Intelligence, and should be less expensive!
I’m going to be upgrading from the 11 to the 16 in Teal.
Seeing everyone talk about the refresh rate has me reconsidering my choices :( did I do the right thing?
My 11 is functioning amazingly, it’s just I have slight issues with its battery life and storage, otherwise it’s working perfectly fine. I just needed an upgrade because of the camera.
The 16 is a fantastic phone, and I don’t think you’ll regret it. If you none of your other screens are 120Hz (or if they are and the 11 doesn’t bother you) you won’t have any issues with the 16. It’s the type of thing you ONLY notice when you’re used to it, and then stop using it.
@@nickbradley I haven’t experienced 120Hz on the Pro models ever because they cost an arm and a leg!! 😂
Here’s to hoping I won’t regret the 16 either!! Even though it would be amazing if Apple started putting 120Hz in their base models.
I have an X for the long time. And it is a goated phone. I won’t upgrade to 16 unless my apps won’t updating anymore due to iOS 18.
Currently watching this video to justify buying an iPhone 12 in about a month from now
im so exited im gonna get it!
Love it! What phone are you upgrading from?
@@nickbradley iPhone 12 Pro Max (:
@@iambruhhh Great upgrade!!
@@nickbradley yea im pretty exited I've been saving up since I was 5 now im 10 and I FINALLY have $800!!!(:
nah just look on versus and compare iphone 12 and iphone 16 its crazy
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 12 have the same camera layout so why didn’t we have spatial video on the base models then
I’m not exactly sure what’s required to record spatial video, but it first appeared on the iPhone 15 Pro. All the previous pro’s have the same camera layout, but don’t support it.
I literally just updated to iPhone 16 haha
I'm hoping I can upgrade to the 16 (pro) from my 11
Remember when iphone X was $1000 back in 2017? Now in 2024, it sucks 😢.
I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max 128gb and thinking of upgrading to the iPhone 16 Pro Max 512gb or 1tb should I do it?
I think that's a great upgrade! It of course depends on more factors other than just the feature upgrades. How you use your phone, the current performance/battery life, and just various costs associated with upgrading should play a role in whether or not you upgrade. But if you do - you're gonna notice a difference.
I’m on a 13 upgrading to a 15plus
Nice video!! Can you compare to the iPhone SE 2/3? That’s what I’m upgrading from.
Thank you! I wanted to include the SE’s into this video too, but it was starting to get too long. I may indeed make a separate video just on the SE upgrades. The video I linked at the end (spoiler alert) is all about the iPhone SE 4 😉
@@nickbradley Nice! 😊 Maybe you’ll make a SE video too, that way I’d know the upgrades I’d be getting. Maybe you could also make a short for fun about the iPhone 1! What It’ll really do is show how far the iPhones come!
@@FunTechVideos Haha I love that iPhone 1 idea a lot! And I probably will make the SE video, but it’ll likely be later this year or beginning of next year 🙃
@@nickbradley Okay thanks! Maybe on the more sooner side, you could make an Apple Watch Series 10 vs older models. I have the series 4, and I’ve thought about upgrading.
i got the basic 16 couple days after launch before i had the iphone XR i battery life needed service the phone said i had low storage even tho i had like 30gb left and the pixels where broken so i needed a big upgrade
the bpm in the background reminds me of thousand march from pizza tower but slower... but maybe that's just my video game ptsd!
I’m going from an SE 2 to the iPhone 16.
That is a MEGA upgrade! Congratulations!
I am staying with my 14 Pro Max. My next phone will be an Android. I have had it with Apple 🍏
@@Slavatoremondo why?
@@Mr.Motion5224 I feel like every year or even less they put a new phone out and they fool you into buying a phone and it really looks like the same phone. There’s no real meaning behind anything just to get us to spend another 1200 or better dollars on an iPhone.
@@Slavatoremondo fair, I don’t think iPhones are intended for you to upgrade every year but rather 2 or 3 until enough things have changed. And I think Samsung is the same story
I feel like people think that they have to upgrade a new iphone when they don't have to. Remember the S update on an iPhone that is what we're seeing now but just with a different name and gimmick.
@@Slavatoremondothats just the phone market in general now, just the same designs over and over, not just apple
I only kept the iPhone 14 Peo for a few months until upgrading to the iPhone 16 Pro, because I WAS FORCED TO BY APPLE BECAUSE OF AI
ngl after a few months with the 15 i'm starting to think that i should've went with the 14 pro instead, it has the dynamic island and the telephoto lens (i honestly use the 2x zoom in my 15 more than the 0.5x so i could've benefited with the telephoto lens) and of course a white color. but hey i'm enjoying my 15 so maybe in 4 years i'll switch to the pro for telephoto 😂.
i came from the 11 so the real upgrade was the camera! the back camera is waaaaay better than the 11 and the action mode is really useful, the dynamic island looks more aesthetically pleasing than the notch but i really could care less about it.
@@minhyuklees1bebe902 the one other nice thing about the 15 over the 14 Pro (in my opinion) is USB-C
I use a 13 mini and I’m disappointed that there’s not a mini option anymore. I was actually thinking about going a back to a X however because of the 3D Touch feature.
@@zombieboy2017 that’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard I have a 14 coming from an X and it’s a huge upgrade keep your 13 mini my friend has one and it’s awesome
This the most dumbest thing I have ever heard bro keep ur 13 mini.
beautiful thumbnail, satisfying af.
Im getting my 1st i phone which one do u guys recommend 15 pro im going to get a used phone
That’s my iPhone in the middle of the thumbnail ;)
Me watching this on an iPhone 6 plus 😭😭
last month i upgraded to the 13 from an android phone (poco m5s).. should have waited for the release so i can get the 14 or the 15
New spatial cameras mmm
Il keep my 13 until it stops getting ios updated
What should I get 15 pro or normal 16 ?
@@HHh-z2q3r Interesting question.
The big differences between them is the pro has an extra telephoto lens (only 3x on the 6.1” 15 Pro), 120 Hz promotion display, and the USB-C port on the pro has 20x faster transfer speeds. The regular 16 has the camera control, but I don’t think that’s good enough reason to choose that one.
I think I’d actually go with the 15 Pro.
Why on earth would you do the order of iPhones backwords? Good video tho!
Edit: i just didn’t get the concept of showing the features based on the iphone you’re coming from. Just started at iphone 11 and going to 16 while naming the new features per phonr wouldve made more sense
It's just the flow that made the most sense to me. 😅 It's kind of like tiers. If you're upgrading from a 1 year old phone, you get this. If you're upgrading from a 2 year old phone, you get everything already mentioned + this. If you're upgrading from a 3 year old phone, you get everything already mentioned + this, and so on...
Thanks for watching and the comment!
wishing i got the 16 series insted of the 15 cus as an android user id be programming the thing to google assistant lol
I literallyy have ios 18 on my xs😂
I didn't highlight the XS and Pro variants, but the XS is from the same generation as the XR. The X and 8 are from the generation before, and they only support iOS 16.
@@nickbradley oh sorry about that! I didn't realis
Bro, they lieing fr, mrwhosetheboss did a battery test and the android s24 ultra won with twice the battery life
iPhone 13, 14, 15, 16 changes: Prices😂
still on the iphone 6s
Just did XR to 11
Im using a Iphone 12 i been thinking should i just get the 14 pro or should i go for the 15 pro (im only thinking of the 15 cuz of USB-C)
USB-C is a game changer.
In short if u have a older iphone(iphone 11 or older i wud say), upgrading to either the 13 or straight to the 16 seems like the play to me. Or if the leaks are anything to trust getting the new iphone se is a really good ides too. Depends on ur budget, personally i would say people should avoid buyinh the 12 or the 14, the iphone 12’s battery life isnt great and the iphone 14 is just the iphone 13.
Why upgrade to the 13
why uprade to 13??
