I've upgraded the iPhone 13 Pro, to the iPhone 16 Pro. For me, it's been a worthwhile upgrade. I don't see why people need to upgrade every single year.
Same phone here. I was planning to but held up for the 12 gb ram of the next pro phone. My pro13 is still blazing fast and battery holding up to daily use.
I upgraded from a 14 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max and I'm enjoying it. I played with camera control but not that much to really judge. I stopped expecting big changes when these phones come out I just appreciate my 2-year upgrade and getting a new device.
The iPhone 16 Pros feel incomplete. Underwhelming,. To launch these phones 'built from the ground up' for Apple Intelligence without Apple Intelligence is embarrassing.
Yeah plus the Apple Store employees at launch were shouting "When I say A, you say I!", so they are trying to get people excited about something they don't have yet lol.
@@BC08its totally weird to me how all reviewers and customers are complaining about this. Like you said it’ll be available soon. All these people need to GET A LIFE
Honestly you could probably wait till the 18 as I feel there still testing ai stuff and not really improving on the hardware, though there is not much to improve on at this point.
I only upgrade every 3-4 years now with how little of improvement they have or “features” they add back with a new name. I’m enjoying my 16 pro max coming from the 12 pro max.
Honestly even upgrading every few years I do not see a major update. I still have my 14 and still passing on the 16 which I am actually thinking of switching brands. I really do not like apples direction or features they add which has zero importance.
Maybe I am in the minority, but I feel like the 16s are solid upgrades even WITHOUT Apple Intelligence at launch. They’ve updated nearly every aspect of the phone AND added a new Camera Control button. Don’t get me wrong-I am still the most excited for Apple Intelligence, but this is certainly one of the bigger upgrades we’ve gotten in a while even without it.
I came from the 12 pro to the 16 pro max and of course it’s a drastic change for me. I love the camera button, makes it super easy to access. Took me a min to figure out double tap the camera button to bring up the menu. Really can’t wait for Apple Intelligence
I’m coming from the 15 pro. The 16 pro is better in every way except for weight. Love the weight of the 15 pro. Maybe the size too for one handed use. But 16 pro is solid 👍
I think holding back Apple AI was very much intentional. For the stock holders. As CJ talks about no reason to upgrade every yr, especially in this economy. So Apple can tell its stock holders slow sales are because of the late release of AI, therefore the stock price doesn’t decrease. It’s the game behind the game….
Went from the 15 pm to the 16 pm and i thoroughly enjoy it. Just as I did from the 14pm to the 15PM, there as a nice upgrade in terms of design and weight. The 16PM from the 15PM is nice too. The screen size is more noticeable than you might expect, thermals are fantastic and the battery life is reminiscent of the 13 pro’s endurance when it came out. It’s not worth getting if u have a 15 currently but if u do get one, I think thermals and battery life are the best parts of this phone
I am upgrading for a iphone 12 pro max I am excited about all the new features. I still love my 12 but the battery is starting to go and I live 12 hours away from the closest apple store.
Looks the same but it does feel improved. I like the slightly larger screen and the Camera button gives the feel of using a Digital Camera that you bought from the store. I love it.
I got to use the 16 pro/max for 30mins at the store. The pro felt like my 15 pro with better digital zoom & camera control. The pro max was bigger. Camera control was the “button” we asked to be added to our AWU not the iPhone 😂
Been enjoying my iphone 15 plus the iphone 16 pro is still a beautiful phone however my iphone 15 plus just gets the job done for all my basic needs. Can't wait to watch more iphone 16 videos!👍🏽
Apple really needs to update their keyboard, I love my Samsung keyboard. Since Apple has copied some things they should definitely give us an option add number row and accents on each key.
🤔I went from the 13 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max earlier this year. And I like this phone but doesn’t really feel much better than my 13 Pro Max with the software updates. 🤷🏿♂️ 13 Pro Max is the goat IPhone like the 1080ti in the computer world.
First year in over ten years I’m not upgrading my pro! I will get all of the AI features if they materialize. Just not excited about the 16 at all! Like you said, if you’re coming from a 13 or older it’s a worthy update.
I just upgraded from a Note10+ to the iPhone 16 pro max 512 GB desert. This is my first iPhone. Only day 4 of use and I’m getting used to it slowly but surely. Still struggling and so is my mom with her IPhone16. The camera button is a bit confusing for me. I tried using it once it’s ehhh. Overall there are some differences between Samsung and Apple but I’m liking the IPhone so far. It has better app utilization and the battery is amazing! I didn’t have A.I. on my Note10+ so I don’t feel like I’m missing anything in that world.
I was coming from an iPhone mini 12, was waiting on a redesign but had to wait another year. So I jump into samsung and got me the fold 6 and wow I'm in love with this phone
However Apple needs a new Redesign. The Iphone 17 Pro Max has to look different than the 12 through 16. It can have a Action Button and Camera button. But look different
My 15 pm is overheat and battery drain so fast so I gave it to my husband, and bought 16 pm ,and it’s almost perfect ! Big screen,big battery ,charging faster(1 hr from 0-70% battery)no overheat,video and camera is better, but the camera control ….not really useful!🤣
I have the Iphone 16 pro max. I am coming from the 13 Pro Max. I definitely get the new dynamic island which is cool. Cameras are absolutely an upgrade. But tbh after getting a case on this thing. I Really hate the random "hole" I get where my hand rest on the new camera button layout...... It kinda hurts my hand after while and i feel as its just "in the way" so to speak. I keep battling myself on whether to return it for a z fold 6 just because after a day. I don't have that "new phone" appeal to it anymore. I do enjoy it. Best upgrade for me is the new microphones it makes vlogging content ALOT easier. But without the ai fresh out of the box. I'm missing out on ai features that i would use a lot. But I suppose ill wait till fall to see how it shakes out. Im currently on ios 18.1 beta & I do have some ai features enabled but to me it all just feels half baked... If they couldn't achieve apple ai this year then they should of waited till the 17 to make it all "ai" esk ya know?
I did this exact upgrade. I’ll be honest it feels really nice. The 16 PM feels very fast and snappy, the Dynamic Island is quite nice as well. Camera upgrades are also noticeable since it’s a three year jump. I don’t think you would regret it.
I upgraded from the 15 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max for the better battery life, thermal improvements and fast 45W wired charging. My 15 Pro Max since day 1 has been like a toaster and has had some of the worst battery life in an iPhone I have ever experienced. But, those fundamental upgrades to the iphone this year is already a big difference that is visible to me personally.
Well I’ve upgraded from the 15 Pro Max for: -25W MagSafe Fast Charging -Camera Control -Studio Mics -Audio Mix -Wi-Fi 7 -Thinnest bezels on any Apple device -Larger 6.9 inch display -1 nit brightness mode -48MP Ultra Wide Camera (up from 12) -48 MP Fusion Camera (new sensor) -Zero shutter lag ProRAW -Anti-reflective camera lens coating -4K 120FPS -Graphene cooling (sustained performance) -Dolby Vision Cinematic Mode -Dolby Vision QuickTake 4K 60 -Updated Photographic Styles -Updated Ceramic Shield -Significantly upgraded battery -A18 Pro Chip Shame about the slow roll out of Apple Intelligence honestly very annoying. Also Visual Intelligence will be exclusive to the 16 lineup.
I have a 15ProMax & don’t get me wrong, it’s been a solid phone. With that being said, the WIFI signal strength on my personally, has been pretty inconsistent. One of the biggest features is the new snapdragon X75 modem chip on the 16ProMax with WIFI7.
They have something that sells, like it or not, and won't make changes just to say something changed. Funny part about people with phones, they seem upset that their phone is not obsolete in a year or two and that their 3 year old phone is still usable and works lol
I think apple didn't a great job driving people away from their products unless coming from a iPhone 14. I had been a loyal iPhone user since the iPhone 3G. This year I got the S24U and quietly eyeing the Fold 6. I don't think i can switch back until the iPhone until it gets renovated truly from the ground up.
I have used the s23 ultra for almost two years, and I was an apple user before this. For me, it is very tempting to jump on the iPhone wagon again because everybody in my family uses apple devices. It is really hard to resist even without apple intelligence. It seems like the iPhone made really big improvements to cameras and the UI. My last iPhone was the 12 pro, and that for me was a bad phone. The battery and the cameras were not good at all and decided to go and get the S23 ultra, which until now it is a great phone, cameras and battery, amazing. I don't know what to do. Should I get the 16 pro max or wait for the s25 ultra? Great video, keep it up👏
Is that any difference between 16 Pro and Pro Max? So far,the battery and screen size are different rites.. I thought i wanna go with regular Pro, but regular pro is too compact for me, which is a good thing, but personally, for me, Pro Max is suitable.I just experience both models Pro is good even they increase screen size 6.1 to 6.3 its a small phone..My hand is bigger so Pro Max is feels like a compact and good size to me..can you guys pls suggest me the storage size.
People that spent their money to upgrade from a 14 or 13 are now not even going to be able to completely use Apple Intelligence until next year even in the fall the full capability won’t be available until next year, which is why they would have completely lost their minds if they upped the price of the phone to give you a half finished software I’m usually team Apple and I still am but they need to step it up
I have to agree, apple really loves making all their users of their products wait. That's why I hate seeing vlogs constantly about Beta's and RC's, it's really irritating. Thank God I also own a Samsung Galaxy Ultra
My desert titanium 16 Pro Max is going back tomorrow. The colour is beyond 'meh' and the upgrade is boring. With no AI to move it apart from my 15 Pro Max, there is no reason at all to keep it. Besides, like I say, the colour is not for me. I'd had enough of that gold with the Xs Max so I fell for the 'desert' word in the colour. 😆 I must say as well that since Apple stopped making leather cases, I have a big struggle finding a case I actually like.
Yeah the ai is missing .. the beta is dope so far. My 15pm had a horrible battery and so far my 16pm has been waaaayyyyy better for my battery life. Do you. YOLO.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max to The iPhone 16 Pro Max, is the best upgrade I have ever experienced. The size increase- of the screen from 6.7 to 6.9, makes a world of difference, it’s freaking unbelievably awesome, and worth every penny ❤❤❤ All the other improvements are just icing on the cake. Let’s go!😊
I have the Pro Max on order, and given the screen size increase, camera control, AI ready, excellent camera capabilities and super powerful processor; I would say it is the most significant upgrade since the 13 👍
I upgraded from a 13 pro max to a 16 pro max. Definitely having lots of screen input issues so far. Hopefully it’s just software related. I’d say 1 out of every 20 inputs does not register. Completely unpredictable, but it’s definitely there.
I have a 12 mini, soon as I saw the keynote I knew it was a bullshit 'incremental' upgrade year. Apple spent 90% of the keynote on the camera/camera button and Apple Intelligence that isn't even ready yet. Thinking about jumping to Samsung if Black Friday entices me enough for a S24.
Hey, the new iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are kinda lame. I'd say keep your 14 or 15. Apple should really chill with releasing new models every year. Imagine if they just came out with an "iPhone 15s" instead. They could add some new colors and make a few small upgrades, and that would be more than enough. The S24 Ultra, Pixel Fold, Z Fold, and Flip are all new and exciting phones. Apple needs to make things fun again: fast charging, a glowing Apple logo for notifications, a fingerprint sensor, the ability to customize the home screen, and a complete overhaul of iMessage.
Bro I switched from the 14 pro max to the 16 pro max and it’s ok I guess, my question to you is how do I move the widgets that are in the square like the WiFi, Bluetooth airplane mode those inside that square how do i arrange them I can move the rest but those idk how
Swipe up in camera control then long press on the blank portion on that second page. It’ll go into rearrange/ customize mode and you can swipe back to first page and edit to your liking
yeah, the freaking iphone 16 pro still feels like 90hz !!!!! 4 years now !!!! and none of the big youtubers talk about it. Its a huge problem and I'm disgusted with apple and youtubers who pretend like they dont notice this!!
Honestly, I don't think these are iPhones for me. I could care less about Apple Intelligence (or as least) until Apple gets the "bugs" removed and I don't see me using that photo control button...it is probably just going to get on my nerves...LOL
I want to test it but I need to catch it on a deal as I didn't get one sent to me this year. We'll see if I get my hands on one as I want to share my thoughts on it as well.
Apple should have released the iPhone 16 lineup in October (like the iPhone 12 series) or November or whenever Apple Intelligence was 100% ready. This year of iPhones are truly disappointing… Definitely keeping my iPhone 15 Pro Max. And we are getting AI on it.
Yeah it’s kinda a boomer that they had all this talk about Apple intelligence and how the iPhone 16’s was built for it and all the promotions of apple intelligence to not even be available at launch and we have to wait till iOS 18.1 for apple intelligence and even then we won’t even get everything
Come on now CJ!!! Love your videos and analysis of all of these products but even you, have to admit, that this iPhone 16 series falls short of innovation! But I hope you try that Pixel 9 Pro series and review it! Unless you did and I missed it 😂. Keep going !
How would you like it if you purchased an expensive vehicle and you were told the tires and wheels would be delivered later? That’s exactly what Apple is doing with selling their new iPhones WITHOUT Apple Intelligence. In my opinion, this is fraudulent advertising. Shame on Tim Cook!
Nah bro if you keep bringing new products you can't expect people to not expecting new thing that s completely their fault by releasing new phone every year ( not just apple the entire industry) Can you imagine if we got a PlayStation or xbox every year ? So let's say that was the case and next year Sony say there is a ps6 it s normal if people expect a change and the year after they say there s a 7 Let s be honest if I have the 6 and you say there is 7 of course you need to show me the difference
I switch from the s24 ultra to the 16 pro max and since then my AT&T service been terrible!!!!! I only have one bar sometimes two and it’s been really embarrassing cause every body comes to and want to se the “ iPhone 16” when I show it it has no service where my 24 ultra has excellent service and performance. My WiFi is terrible as well anyone has the same issue?
I bought the 16 pro max but returned it due to bad color accuracy of the display. The white balance is way off. My ipad pro m4 11" and my iphone 15 pro are both perfectly calibrated, indistinguishable from one another, but the iphone 16 pro max was very yellow in comparison. Around 6100 kelvin when the other two are at 6500 kelvin in color temperature. Did you notice any difference between the regular pro or the pro max in color calibration? Or if you see anything when comparing them to the 15 pro or 15 pro max? I do know that Samsung makes the screen for the 11" m4 ipad pro and LG makes the screen for the 13" m4 ipad pro. And the 11" model is a bit better calibrated overall than the 13". Maybe the iphone pro models have different display manufacturers this year too. I would guess they are made by Samsung and LG, perhaps BOE is involved as they have been before but their quality is not up to par.
See this wat I don't get about apple when they put new software on the phone it don't be on u gotta wait but with Samsung when they drop new phones & new software update it be right on the phone when u get it & don't have to wait
I meant, they give us Apple intelligence but in reality it’s just a software update. iPhone body is actually different inside and outside this year. The build is different. But why they don’t improve that silly iOs is a nonsense for me. It’s prehistoric and useless or better say stupid os compared to android 🤔 But nahhh, next year you’ll get AI. Alright, but will the iOs finally improve. Ok, just simple example, why keyboard doesn’t do better suggestions and also why can’t I just point into the text where I want to change it instead of sliding my finger around the whole screen? Also, why does the curosor keeps jumping where it was instead of being put onto the place I tap to on the text 🤦♂️ And it’s like that for a long time. And it’s just a small example of what iOs looks like on daily basis. So, for me, this is what apple should improve at. And yeah, iPhone 16 Pro Max 4k 120 hz pro res…. Now we’re talking 😎

Nice! I'm glad your enjoying the upgrade and honestly these phones are for users like you who upgrade every 2-3 years +
Same here. Love my 16 pro max. Not impressed by the “A.I” on beta. But the camera, screen, and processors are night and day.
No one really needs to upgrade every year, people want to upgrade. I want to and so I do generally upgrade every year.

Imagine coming from 11 pro to 16 pro max. Im hella impressed
Nice!!!
Should I upgrade from a iPhone 14 to 16 pro max? I’m very tempted
Still the iPhone 16 pro series sold out and 2 weeks wait time in uk 😮
May be Apple is deliberately lowering supply to increase demand 😊
They have something that sells, like it or not, and won't make changes just to say something changed. Funny part about people with phones, they seem upset that their phone is not obsolete in a year or two and that their 3 year old phone is still usable and works lol
I think apple didn't a great job driving people away from their products unless coming from a iPhone 14. I had been a loyal iPhone user since the iPhone 3G. This year I got the S24U and quietly eyeing the Fold 6. I don't think i can switch back until the iPhone until it gets renovated truly from the ground up.
13 PM to 16 PM I love is so far USB-C is the biggest thing I wanted for the longest with iPhones so I’m satisfied.
Nice!
Yeah man @apple shipping a new phone half baked is just bad, if it was Samsung everybody would be losing their minds ripping them lol
I have used the s23 ultra for almost two years, and I was an apple user before this. For me, it is very tempting to jump on the iPhone wagon again because everybody in my family uses apple devices. It is really hard to resist even without apple intelligence. It seems like the iPhone made really big improvements to cameras and the UI. My last iPhone was the 12 pro, and that for me was a bad phone. The battery and the cameras were not good at all and decided to go and get the S23 ultra, which until now it is a great phone, cameras and battery, amazing. I don't know what to do. Should I get the 16 pro max or wait for the s25 ultra? Great video, keep it up👏
Is that any difference between 16 Pro and Pro Max? So far,the battery and screen size are different rites.. I thought i wanna go with regular Pro, but regular pro is too compact for me, which is a good thing, but personally, for me, Pro Max is suitable.I just experience both models Pro is good even they increase screen size 6.1 to 6.3 its a small phone..My hand is bigger so Pro Max is feels like a compact and good size to me..can you guys pls suggest me the storage size.
How can they redesign it? All they can do is make it more perfected. The next move will be an apple flip.
People that spent their money to upgrade from a 14 or 13 are now not even going to be able to completely use Apple Intelligence until next year even in the fall the full capability won’t be available until next year, which is why they would have completely lost their minds if they upped the price of the phone to give you a half finished software I’m usually team Apple and I still am but they need to step it up
I have to agree, apple really loves making all their users of their products wait. That's why I hate seeing vlogs constantly about Beta's and RC's, it's really irritating. Thank God I also own a Samsung Galaxy Ultra
My desert titanium 16 Pro Max is going back tomorrow. The colour is beyond 'meh' and the upgrade is boring. With no AI to move it apart from my 15 Pro Max, there is no reason at all to keep it. Besides, like I say, the colour is not for me. I'd had enough of that gold with the Xs Max so I fell for the 'desert' word in the colour. 😆 I must say as well that since Apple stopped making leather cases, I have a big struggle finding a case I actually like.
Yeah the ai is missing .. the beta is dope so far. My 15pm had a horrible battery and so far my 16pm has been waaaayyyyy better for my battery life. Do you. YOLO.
Nice! I’m enjoying the 16 Pro and Max don’t get it twisted 😂. Respect
The iPhone 15 Pro Max to The iPhone 16 Pro Max, is the best upgrade I have ever experienced. The size increase- of the screen from 6.7 to 6.9, makes a world of difference, it’s freaking unbelievably awesome, and worth every penny ❤❤❤ All the other improvements are just icing on the cake. Let’s go!😊
Any heating in iphone 16 pro phone ?? While playing game or in charging mode??
Mines haven't gotten abnormally warm.
I still need to test extensive gaming
@@CJKnowsTECH please also make a video on it .
I have the Pro Max on order, and given the screen size increase, camera control, AI ready, excellent camera capabilities and super powerful processor; I would say it is the most significant upgrade since the 13 👍
It’s a great phone and you’ll enjoy it
Camera button is just a bonus, but the Camera/Video like always is one step ahead and for me worth the upgrade alone. :) Boring but solid phone.
I normally switch between iohone and Android every couple years. Thinking about getting the 16 pro but not sure i want to flip my fold 5
im still using iphone 8 plus since its launch so getting this upgrade is worth for me
Most definitely
I thought the motto for iPhone was it just works... And now everyone has to "get used" to the camera button if they want to use it
Are there touchscreen issues with iPhone pro 16 ? Have recently heard about the them
I haven't had any issues with mines...just did a quick search and saw something about it being a possible software bug
I upgraded from a 13 pro max to a 16 pro max. Definitely having lots of screen input issues so far. Hopefully it’s just software related. I’d say 1 out of every 20 inputs does not register. Completely unpredictable, but it’s definitely there.
@@caleflorenzen4248 exactly i m confused that wether i should buy or not ?
Just you bruh😂 Rock solid with the build.
OMG YES I said the same thing when i very first opened the darn box and picked my PM up..something seems off!
I have a 12 mini, soon as I saw the keynote I knew it was a bullshit 'incremental' upgrade year. Apple spent 90% of the keynote on the camera/camera button and Apple Intelligence that isn't even ready yet. Thinking about jumping to Samsung if Black Friday entices me enough for a S24.
You would think by now, they would be introducing a foldable .
I've read that allegedly Samsung's foldable screen technology hasn't reach Apple's standard yet...
Ima upgrade from my 13 pro and once the s25 drop Ima cop
Hey, the new iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are kinda lame. I'd say keep your 14 or 15. Apple should really chill with releasing new models every year. Imagine if they just came out with an "iPhone 15s" instead. They could add some new colors and make a few small upgrades, and that would be more than enough. The S24 Ultra, Pixel Fold, Z Fold, and Flip are all new and exciting phones. Apple needs to make things fun again: fast charging, a glowing Apple logo for notifications, a fingerprint sensor, the ability to customize the home screen, and a complete overhaul of iMessage.
Such a weird year and circumstance where I'm surprised they are late to the AI software release.
Kool video know I can a better choice of buying iPhone 16 in my opinion and we're you bought the gem chin😮
Bro I switched from the 14 pro max to the 16 pro max and it’s ok I guess, my question to you is how do I move the widgets that are in the square like the WiFi, Bluetooth airplane mode those inside that square how do i arrange them I can move the rest but those idk how
Swipe up in camera control then long press on the blank portion on that second page. It’ll go into rearrange/ customize mode and you can swipe back to first page and edit to your liking
@@CJKnowsTECH also I feel like the battery life on this phone isn’t that great compared to the previous iPhone that I had
yeah, the freaking iphone 16 pro still feels like 90hz !!!!! 4 years now !!!! and none of the big youtubers talk about it. Its a huge problem and I'm disgusted with apple and youtubers who pretend like they dont notice this!!
Honestly, I don't think these are iPhones for me. I could care less about Apple Intelligence (or as least) until Apple gets the "bugs" removed and I don't see me using that photo control button...it is probably just going to get on my nerves...LOL
Fast charging doesn't work all the chargers only charge at 1.6 amps. My 15 PPro Max was 5.6 Amps.
Totally wrong. In other countries Apple keeps increasing their prices.
Speaking for US as that’s where I reside and the prices have stayed the same
16 Pro best phone apple ever made so good people who normally upgrade to the Pro Max going pro this year
CJ will u review the pixel 9 po fold i wonder what ur thoughts about it and what will u preffer the z fold 6 or the pixel
I want to test it but I need to catch it on a deal as I didn't get one sent to me this year. We'll see if I get my hands on one as I want to share my thoughts on it as well.
Apple should have released the iPhone 16 lineup in October (like the iPhone 12 series) or November or whenever Apple Intelligence was 100% ready. This year of iPhones are truly disappointing… Definitely keeping my iPhone 15 Pro Max. And we are getting AI on it.
Don’t forget about the A18 pro chip CJ 😂
I’m so underwhelmed with 16pro I’m considering moving to Samsung.
The new button just seems useless to me
Yeah it’s kinda a boomer that they had all this talk about Apple intelligence and how the iPhone 16’s was built for it and all the promotions of apple intelligence to not even be available at launch and we have to wait till iOS 18.1 for apple intelligence and even then we won’t even get everything
Standard iphone 16 buyers are the true “kinda” winners here.
They get a18 chip, 8 gb ram, camera control “button”, action button.
Come on now CJ!!! Love your videos and analysis of all of these products but even you, have to admit, that this iPhone 16 series falls short of innovation! But I hope you try that Pixel 9 Pro series and review it! Unless you did and I missed it 😂. Keep going !
How would you like it if you purchased an expensive vehicle and you were told the tires and wheels would be delivered later? That’s exactly what Apple is doing with selling their new iPhones WITHOUT Apple Intelligence. In my opinion, this is fraudulent advertising. Shame on Tim Cook!
My mom has a iPhone 13 she really gonna get a iPhone 16 plus
The apple intelligence haven’t arrived yet that will make the difference and it’s the max models are bigger thank God
Not really sure what yall want these company’s to do …what else can be added to this phone?
That's exactly why I say it's at a plateau
Nah bro if you keep bringing new products you can't expect people to not expecting new thing that s completely their fault by releasing new phone every year ( not just apple the entire industry)
Can you imagine if we got a PlayStation or xbox every year ? So let's say that was the case and next year Sony say there is a ps6 it s normal if people expect a change and the year after they say there s a 7
Let s be honest if I have the 6 and you say there is 7 of course you need to show me the difference
Apple could add stickers 😂
… which I never used during 32 years of using their products. Not a single one.
I switch from the s24 ultra to the 16 pro max and since then my AT&T service been terrible!!!!! I only have one bar sometimes two and it’s been really embarrassing cause every body comes to and want to se the “ iPhone 16” when I show it it has no service where my 24 ultra has excellent service and performance. My WiFi is terrible as well anyone has the same issue?
I’ll Pass
Lmao Apple G’d us all 😂😂😂😂
Based on how upset the Android guys are this must be a great iPhone release!
I bought the 16 pro max but returned it due to bad color accuracy of the display. The white balance is way off. My ipad pro m4 11" and my iphone 15 pro are both perfectly calibrated, indistinguishable from one another, but the iphone 16 pro max was very yellow in comparison. Around 6100 kelvin when the other two are at 6500 kelvin in color temperature. Did you notice any difference between the regular pro or the pro max in color calibration? Or if you see anything when comparing them to the 15 pro or 15 pro max?
I do know that Samsung makes the screen for the 11" m4 ipad pro and LG makes the screen for the 13" m4 ipad pro. And the 11" model is a bit better calibrated overall than the 13". Maybe the iphone pro models have different display manufacturers this year too. I would guess they are made by Samsung and LG, perhaps BOE is involved as they have been before but their quality is not up to par.
I hate old yeller
They are still selling 60hz phones in 2024 for 800 bucks SMH !
100%
See this wat I don't get about apple when they put new software on the phone it don't be on u gotta wait but with Samsung when they drop new phones & new software update it be right on the phone when u get it & don't have to wait
I meant, they give us Apple intelligence but in reality it’s just a software update. iPhone body is actually different inside and outside this year. The build is different. But why they don’t improve that silly iOs is a nonsense for me. It’s prehistoric and useless or better say stupid os compared to android 🤔 But nahhh, next year you’ll get AI. Alright, but will the iOs finally improve. Ok, just simple example, why keyboard doesn’t do better suggestions and also why can’t I just point into the text where I want to change it instead of sliding my finger around the whole screen? Also, why does the curosor keeps jumping where it was instead of being put onto the place I tap to on the text 🤦♂️
And it’s like that for a long time. And it’s just a small example of what iOs looks like on daily basis. So, for me, this is what apple should improve at.
And yeah, iPhone 16 Pro Max 4k 120 hz pro res…. Now we’re talking 😎
🎉🎉…I don’t really use camera like that. 🍎 fanboy 4 life😂😂😂😂.
If you have the iPhone 15pro series you know this model is riddled with issues and over praised. I’m going 16 pro no more max models for me.
