The camera button Is a good idea but they haven't updated the camera UI to make the button much more useful. Why is the massive white shutter button still there?
Got mine (iPhone 16 Pro Max with 1TB) on my vacation at Sydney. It’s really astounding that it is such a premium device with a brilliant display and fantastic battery life! Combined with the Pitaka sunset military case a real stunner! I really really like it 😊
All of the overheating issues really screwed the 15 series the heat caused the battery health to drop rapidly.. just got my 16pm I’m on 100% still after 10 cycles cheers hoping it remains great ..
My gf Sara gave me the iPhone 16 pro max 3 days ago, It's INCREDIBLE, for me works perfectly, I only need to add cool case, I miss the Apple leather cases...
This is what the camera control needs to do: press once to open the camera, press again and let go all the way down to record, to snap a picture without it moving and making the picture blurry. Do the half taptic press to take a photo then it would be a perfect camera control button.
We all know Apple is likely to remove the camera button soon. It's much easier to tap the phone screen directly than to go through a gimmicky route just to do the same thing. Both the Action Button and Camera button feel pretty pointless. I’m using the iPhone 15 Pro Max and honestly, I hardly ever use the Action Button. The one thing Apple got right with the 15 Pro Max was keeping the Apple Intelligence features intact. The iPhone 16 doesn't bring much to the table, aside from software updates. I’ll probably wait for the iPhone 17 or 18 before upgrading again
They’re running out of new ideas for features. They try & talk you in to needing these buttons in order to sell phones. Hey look what’s new, YOU NEED THIS!😂😂😂
Photographic Styles are still essentially pre-applied filters that adjust elements like tone and warmth before taking a photo. While they preserve skin tones and enhance other parts of the image, they still work similarly to traditional filters, just applied during capture rather than afterward. So, while marketed as more sophisticated, they can be viewed as a type of pre-shot filter.
You should review iOS 18.2 in mid December. Visual Intelligence and two-stage shutter are great for Camera Control, aside from the big software AI features. I love Audio Mix, which I’m now using for self tape auditions!
Since Camera Control is a touch sensitive button, I think Apple should put a Touch ID sensor on it. That would make Camera Control even more useful and better. Hopefully Apple puts that on the iPhone 17 models. I would love that.
The issue is Face ID is way more useful, I understand some people want apple to ditch Face ID for fingerprint but fingerprint tends to be inconvenient at times. On top of this Face ID is way more secure than fingerprint and apple being obsessed with privacy is easily going to choose Face ID over fingerprint. I do agree however they should make the button useful outside of camera app.
I’m on iOS 18.2 beta and the apple intelligence features are all great, the ChatGPT and visual intelligence being the most useful but not that these feature are to die for just nice to have when the moment comes. Definitely makes the phones feel more future proof. Also the press to ae/af lock on the camera button is nice as well
It’s definitely worth it if you want a phone that is incredibly snappy with all the new features… but your phone still has life in it. I just upgraded my trusty 13 pro max after 3 years of use and still had 85% battery left. My 13 pro max could have easily gone another year without a hitch but if the new features are appealing it could be worth looking into. Your phone is 2 years old so it doesn’t seem to crazy.
@ Ok, thanks! So you suggest better to wait for the 17 pro max in my use case? And if I shot in 4k 30 fps videos and 12mp photos usually would you recommend still sticking to the pro series and get the 17 pro max or get the regular 17? Based on the 16 series info
@ I think the iPhone 17 is going to be a very appealing series as the leaks suggest. iPhone 17 is rumored to have 120hz pro motion on the base 17 models (for a lot of people this is the selling point of the pro)… the screen will still be LCD though. The pro models will be mostly major camera upgrades, OLED panels, and maybe some changes internally vs the regular iPhone 17s… if you are happy with the results from the 12mp cameras then most likely sticking with the regular 17 could save you money if the leaks come to pass.
You like it cuz you bought it and need something to justify you buying it. We all know Apple is likely to remove the camera button soon. It's much easier to tap the phone screen directly than to go through a gimmicky route just to do the same thing. Both the Action Button and Camera button feel pretty pointless.

@@M4cintoshSElisten I am a Apple fan boy and have all the products but this years phone was a disappointment! This button will be removed in later generation and so will the action button. 18-19 I will look forward to once Tim Cook is out hopefully proper innovation will be seen
That iPhone might be fake, there seems to be a sim tray on the phone. iPhone 16 pro max does not have sim trays. They use eSIM. Plz correct if I’m wrong, I am open to learning something new.
After using the iPhone 16 Pro Max for two months, I’ve come to realize there was absolutely no point in upgrading from the 15 Pro Max. I live in Estonia, and unfortunately, none of the new iOS features announced by Apple during the keynote are available here. I see no difference between the two devices.
My battery is insanely good It’s when using the developer beta softwares which cause your battery to drain much faster.. I also had a 14 Pro Max and the 16 Pro Max is so much better! 👍🏻
Hey y’all I have the iPhone 16 pro max and I can say it’s good but the camera button is no use. Secondly there’s an issue that I’m having I just called Apple support. I can’t add my stickers
Maybe im wrong,but to me the iphone pro max series feels like a beta phone. I don't know what to do,go for the iphone 16 pro max or wait for the 17 pro max series. I think maybe the 17 series will come with even more ram & bigger battery. I think so. I don't know what to do.
I’m assuming you haven’t heard about the camara control button intelligence yet? Well…..you point at any store or restaurant etc it’ll instantly pop up its menu, prices, and ways to order with direct links along with instant telephone numbers to hit call, it’s literally insane it’s probably the best idea ever on a smartphone with AI and I can definitely see Samsung copying it in 1-2 years time I feel there’s a lot more to come in terms of the camara control button hence why it’s being marketed as an apple intelligence phone, I would be really really pissed off if I’d cheaped out and purchased the 15 Pro max and realised what they had plans for the camera control button, apples redeemed themselves 100% with this and I can assure you all you’ve done is created a video to only recreate a new one saying “I was wrong about the iPhone 16 pro max” I can see it coming very soon
Camera Control is the worst idea and execution that Apple ever came up with. Absolute nonsense in current state. It will die like 3D Touch. Which was actually promising but Apple didn't know what to do with it.
Would like to hear about your thoughts on the software Seems lately hear only on the camera part of the phone. There is some much more. But thanks for your thoughts on the camera.

I don’t think they should remove it completely for the new phones but definitely when camera control is being used
One aspect is the side “button” is in the wrong place. Awkward position for use in landscape or portrait.

Last year, my 15 pm battery capacity was 98%. Now, on my 16 pro, it’s still 100% two months later.
Battery is fantastic on this 16pro max !
All of the overheating issues really screwed the 15 series the heat caused the battery health to drop rapidly.. just got my 16pm I’m on 100% still after 10 cycles cheers hoping it remains great ..

I found a great alternative, the Vionentus leather cases, they are very durable and elegant.
Thank you, it'll probably work!
Shoutout Sara
Where can I find a girlfriend like her, but yeah I also have Vionentus case and it's great!

Great 👍🏼 in-depth review. ❤
Photographic Styles is a game changer. I actually prefer taking photos with my 16 Pro Max now over the Pixel 9 Pro XL
Hello nikias! i started watching your apple videos and thanks to you, i went from my old samsung s21 to my iphone 13 pro max!
13pro max is still the goat of battery life tbh!!! I am still using my 13pm !!! Its just too good !
Great video Nikias!

Implementing a 5,000 mah battery & addressing overheating should be their main focus.
I don’t think they’ll remove it that quick. Uncharacteristic of apple. They are always about slow changes.
I love the effect cozy 😮
Great review brother👍👍
thank you for the video ❤

Hey I’ve been watching your content since a long time now you’re the one who has convince me to get into Apple eco system
Love from India 🇮🇳
They should have made the camera control button programmable for games, such a COD/PUBG etc.
You should review iOS 18.2 in mid December. Visual Intelligence and two-stage shutter are great for Camera Control, aside from the big software AI features. I love Audio Mix, which I’m now using for self tape auditions!
I get 8 or 9 hours of heavy usage with only 80 percent on my phone without letting it drop to 30 what are u doing bro that the 16pm is not enough?
RIGHT I don’t get it either
Love my 16 pro ❤❤❤
The audio is tinny sounding. The guest in a blue shirt was perfect.

its the same button in the IPads that use touch unlock. Seems like Apple could make it work with a software update
And i want them that you can scroll with it in certain apps it will also be a good feature

I heard the beta kills the battery quicker tho?
Should I wait for 17 Pro Max if I have a smaller 14 Pro 2 years old with 87%? Is it worth it over getting the 16 Pro Max?

Great to see you have some constructive feedback for Apple! Keep up the good work with your independent thoughts!
I think ur hoodie says otherwise for the video
Awesome video

In the EU they have sim trays still
I see I did not know that, thanks for teaching me something new 😊
Yes, Asia and China have sim trays as well.
Only in the USA are the iphones with esim only.
The rest of the world are using esim & sim card still.

Pro. But it’s the same as pro max besides size and battery
I wish the button is bigger and wider, should be touch sensitive and powered by AI.
