For me, the upgrade has been incredibly valuable. I had an iPhone XS and now the 16 Pro, which is a significant leap. I’m extremely satisfied and happy with this purchase. It’s an amazing device with a stunning camera.The issue, however, is that so few people are ever really satisfied. They always seem to find something to complain about. I find that incredibly tiresome-people who are never content, no matter what they have, always looking for something to criticize.
That’s an awesome upgrade! And I do see your point, it’s all relative though. When I look at what other devices of similar price range can do, I can’t help but feel short changed…
I switched to Samsung last year after 10 years on iPhone. No regrets, and I'm not even remotely interested in switching back. My wife just upgraded to the 16 ProMax from her 13 ProMax, and her first comment was, "It's the same phone!"
I gone the other way. I realise now how much Samsung copied Apple. The 16 pro is way better than my ultra, way, way better. I'm keeping my Sony xperia though with its 3.5mm headphone socket and sd card slot.
@@AlexGTechnah. Wow got this and it's brilliant. Buttery smooth, feels great in the hand. Compared to the 15 pro: 20% longer battery life, 20% faster processor, camera button is even better than I thought - slide to zoom, half press to focus. Improved camera and video, WiFi 7. Larger screen in the same body size. I'm coming from a 13 pro - regular people don't update after just 1 year I've been using a Samsung Ultra. The iPhone 16 pro is way better. . IOS is better for deeper integration than on android 14. I'm keeping my Sony xperia since it has a 3.5mm headphone socket and SD card slot.
@@AndrewRUclipshandle the same here. I didnt love the battery life on my S24 ultra. Even with a fully charge it was still very much a charge daily phone. Andriod still does not have a password manager thats as painless and efficient as Apples keychain and the optimisation across devices, whilst very good on samsung, is still miles better on Apple. Added to that the Apple watch is still the best smartwatch available, wear OS is miles better but they just cannot compete on the amount of apps avialable and the quality of them.
For everyone with 14 and 15 Pro/Max, maybe even 13, this isn't a big upgrade. We're far from times where you could really feel new stuff and significantly better performance buying new device year after year.
@AlexGTech it's actually less smoother the iPhone 16 PM is running 80hz so they can pretend to have best battery life, they are being sneaky and not telling people about it. They need to be fined for their lies.
@stevanb.2590 The difference from 80hz to 120hz is as big as 60hz to 80hz, no other phone has the limitation. I feel like apple needs to stop cheaping out and put a 5000mAh battery, apple hasn't been getting as good battery life for the past 2 years the iPhone 13 pro has been the battery champion so now they lowered the refresh rate to make it the battery champ because they couldn't humiliate themselves with 3 year old phone still being battery champ. What surprises is that most people weren't able to notice choppy because its noticeable
I disagree with the dynamic island. I like it a lot. They need the hole for the camera and face ID anyway, might as well add useful information or shortcuts to it, plus delightful animations.
@VKTR_Tech: He is talking about the distraction by physical hole. With such massive hole, Apple still calls it 6.9 inches without considering it. Dynamic island requires no hole to implement it. We sheep fall for it.
Honestly I like the animations and UI effects, etc. The hole is the issue. I think Apple could have found a better way to hide the sensors. But I also see the Marketing side…
@@AlexGTech What do you suggest? The Face ID sensors don't work under screen so you need to make space for them. I prefer the dynamic island to the notch by far.
I upgrade every year. It’s a free country. One should do whatever he/she wants. I don’t judge. I keep my mind prosperous and I DO see a lotta different things from one year to the other. Take care.
I got 16 pro max and I’m going to return it. The battery is the best but the phone is so boring. I’m coming from s23 ultra so I’m just wait for s25 ultra. In my opinion it have to many buttons cause s23 can do something and it have 3 buttons.
All the premium phones look the same now, with Samsung and Google shamelessly copying iPhone’s flat edge design. Funny how with Apple its old and boring, while with Samsung and Google the copies are fresh and exciting.
I haven’t been on Apples phones since the iPhone 6. I just got the 16 pro and what a phone. It’s better than all the androids I owned. I’ll use this over 2 or 3 new batteries. Ta
May be boring but I am noticing as of today that objectively it is still the device with the best performance, best battery of most flagships while using smaller capacity, best gaming, best all around camera especially considering quality of log videos,best apps compatibility and has the most 3rd party accessories and support. And all that without AI which can only improve on that and bring the newness that we all waiting for and we’re disappointed it didn’t launch with. The only con really here no split screen which is not enough to trump all the pros. For one phone to have all these “best” should be seen as great IMO.
I’m bored with the iPhone too, but not enough to switch honestly. The ecosystem just works so damn well. I’m not upgrading from my 13 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max. HOWEVER I will if Apple release a foldable or my current phone stops being supported. This is another reason I’m not upgrading yet, until they do something about the Dynamic Island. I find it annoying when it cuts into 18:9 content
I see the point on the ecosystem. As much as I love my Android phones, I never underplay the hassle it is to move away. Heck, I've been using Android phones as my main device since 2021 and I'm still not completely out of the Apple ecosystem! 😅
Dynamic Island probably can’t be dropped easily. There is more tech in it than just the camera. And it wouldn’t be easy to fit it somewhere else I guess.
IMO the regular 16 is very appealing because of colours, chipset, camera control button. These are colours that match the original iMac. Go see a video and you’ll know what I mean. That’s epic if you’re an Apple fan. Especially since iPhone 15 was so bland in colour. I want to switch back to iPhone but it costs €949 here in Cyprus. For the base 16. So I’m looking at the 13 which is €600. However it’s been discontinued which means this is final stock. I will need several months of saving to afford the 13 but by then it will be out of stock. The 14 is the next one up but costs €749 and it won’t likely drop to €600 because then they’d have to drop the 15 and 16, which they won’t do. The 14 is basically a 13 but with worse colours. The 15 is a minor improvement but with the most disgusting "colours" I’ve ever seen anywhere! I don’t want that crap. Life is too short to settle for ugly crap. So, what to do? I’m going to have to save even longer than expected and maybe by mid next year get the 16? At which point it will instantly lose value because the 17 will be around the corner. … I wish they weren’t so damn expensive, especially here in Europe. $700 in the US because the rest of the world is subsiding it!!!!!
This is probably the first year in a long time when the regular 16 or even the Plus are better value for money. The colours are nice too. 600 Euros for the 13 feels wrong to me… It’s a great phone but that feels overpriced considering I sold my 14 Pro Max for £800 a year ago.
@@AlexGTech Yes. Because we're on an island they like to hike the prices because they know but many countries ship here and if they do, by the time you pay import duties and shipping costs, you'll arrive at the fans price or more. I had a look at used iPhone 13's on eBay UK and calculated that by the time I pay shipping, import duties and have a new battery fitted, it will cost €650. And that's for a scratched "good" condition used phone.....😢 I actually sent Tim Cook a long email asking that the new SE should not cost more than €400 incl VAT if they hope to see market share expansion. I also explained why we need interest free payment plans here and in other parts of the world to be able to afford these devices. For €400/£350 ALOT or people would get the SE if it was the modern design with face id, one camera, 60hz oled, A16 bionic and slightly thicker bezels like the XR. Many people would choose that over Xiaomi, Real Me, OnePlus etc budget phones, especially with 5-6 years OS upgrades. Add to that a Watch SE at €250 and you're guaranteed to sell those like hotcakes. Also make Airpods SE for around €80 and again, you'll sell like hotcakes to the SE buyers. They could massively increase market share and sales by following my advice but I doubt they will....
The point of those battery tests is to establish a baseline to compare a bunch of phones against for the sake of consistency. Sure, its not realistic use, but its also not inaccurate. Each of us use our phone differently, so when you create a repetitive test with a baseline across all devices, that's a much better test than "real use" that might vary in a thousand different ways. Also, your assessment of Apple's privacy is inaccurate, and for someone who criticizes other RUclipsrs for releasing "irresponsible" tests (such as the one I just explained above), I would expect you to know that Apple has been demonstrated to not follow their own privacy policy, and sued because of it.
Realistic tests are just harder to do which is why those unrealistic ones exist. Done one of them once, never again. Extremely hard work to use multiple devices in the same way in a realistic scenario. Please point me to when Apple didn’t follow their own security policy and I will be happy to add a correction. In my research I did find them not to be 100% watertight but it is mainly when people choose unencrypted iCloud backups.
PRODUCTION QUALITY, MUSIC, EFFECTSSSSS ALL 🔥🔥🔥 But yes agreed, battery life is so far really good and those tests without SIM cards are SCAMS!!! And bruh I can't believe we gotta wait so long for the full suite of Apple Intelligence features to come out 😑Haha I miss my loaner Z Fold6 from Samsung I want it back!!! Amazing video as always Alex!!! 😄
Hey Fenson!! Yeah Apple out here playing us all! That Fold 6 is so nice to use. I think when the dust settles it will be my main. Thanks so much for the lovely words!
I get the point that battery tests not being reliable as there is no sim in these phones during drain test, however that factor is controlled by not having sim in all of the phones, therefore the results will translate at least in terms of ranking
Sure, I see that too, my main gripe is that it's not how people use their devices so in my view, it bears no relevance in terms of which device is actually better. some will manage 4G/5G/Wifi better than others and drastically change battery performance.
With the cash Apple has at hand, how long does it take to innovate and make monkey bar small? And do you know why they don't implement app multitasking (side by side)? It highlights the monkey bar more. Now enjoy your camera (button) controller and pausing while taking video. Innovation at best. At least other companies don't call these stuff innovations unlike Apple.
Thank you! Yeah, I've just been playing with some performance settings on the S24U and it seems better battery wise. Still not as great as the S23U was though...
My Pro Max should arrive tomorrow upgrading from a Samsung Note 20 Ultra. Its going to be my first iPhone looking forward to trying the camera out hoping it will play nice with my iPad Pro and MacBook Pro I just want something that will work seamlessly with all my devices and hopefully going all in with Apple will work.
Nice! I’m sure you will find it awesome, there’s a lot to be said about the integration. For me personally, it’s hard to let go of all the features from other devices but I appreciate not everyone needs those
@@AlexGTech Its just arrieved this morning liking it so far though the screen looks smaller than the Note 20 ultra (iPhones rounded corners don't help that ) The camera seems to be really good might even be tempted to buy some of the reflex lenses....
You skipped any discussion about the Camera Control button. This is the most obvious change in the iPhone 16 line-up. The Camera Control button is, in my opinion, the worst feature this year. It is terribly fiddly and awkward to use. It seems totally superfluous and unnecessary. And the biggest downside? It actually *slows* down your picture-taking task! It's much faster just to use the on-screen controls. This button was ill-conceived. Instead of *removing* buttons from the iPhone, Apple decided to *add* new buttons such as the Action button and the Camera Control button. Steve Jobs must be spinning in his grave like a lathe. I sincerely hope they remove this feature in the next iteration of the iPhone (17 or 18) after users express their displeasure.
I love the review, man. It's clean, to the point, and well-edited, as usual. However, I like the dynamic island; it shows live scores of the matches I like, among other minor things. However I would change that for an Apple foldable or a new design.
No worries, right now I am using the S24 Ultra as my main, but moving most of my things over to the Fold 6. The only things left to move are my Authenticator apps and banking apps. I think I will try the Pixel 9 Pro in October for a bit, and still use the Xperia 1 VI every now and then. The iPhone is getting some use now too, and I am sure I will keep the Pro eventually as I do like to use the iPhone for videos and some of home automation, parental controls are still done via the iPhone. Complicated but I like the mix right now
This is the reason why I am subscribed to your channel and I watch your videos. Authenticity and the truth is what I’m looking for. Also too the small jokes that you crack in between. I absolutely love it. The S 24 ultra and the Galaxy watch ultra is my main phone. I too was imprisoned by Apple.
I was looking for a iPhone 15 PM because I knew the prices would drop but ended up getting a 16 PM. I usually switch every couple months but nobody really innovating these days and all companies pretty much good across the board so then it falls to who has the better ecosystem… 🤷🏾
I have the 12 Pro Max. It's great, nothing wrong with it. I've considered upgrading and giving my phone to my dad. Can you tell a big difference in the photos/videos? I'd like USB-C to make offloading files easier. Other than that, no real urge to upgrade.
@michaelgiordano The difference in the quality of photos and videos is a big difference in my opinion. I haven't had a chance to test the data transfer speeds yet. The phone charges a lot faster with this 45W type c fast charger I bought. The main reason I upgraded was because it was free with a Verizon trade-in.
@@AlexGTech I do use the camera a good bit. Also a lot of content consumption and some gaming. The 6.3 screen size feels just right though. Maybe with time, it will get adjusted to my charging schedule.
Nevermind, I spent 30 minutes with my wife's iPhone 14 Pro Max on iOS 18 and yeah it's not for me. The iPhone starts to feel like a dumb phone after using a Pixel 9 Pro
wow, that's the first time I hear that! I noticed another brand, maybe Oppo/Honor are using the dynamic island too. I hope Apple finds a way to keep the island, but maybe hide it when not in use.
Thanks for the review! I don't get the "I'm bored with iPhone" narrative. It doesn't escape anyone that Google and Samsung actually model their pro and entry level devices on the iPhone. It's not boring when they do it, but it is when it comes to Apple. Hmmmm methinks there's a double standard here. In any case, I'm sticking with the OG since it's the benchmark for what's hip and what's not.
I think it’s boring when they do it too, I think I even titled a video “Same old boring phone” when the S22 Ultra came out for example 😂 This whole form factor needs a revamp which is why I appreciate foldable these days. When the price on those drop or when Apple makes one, I think slab phones are done.
@@AlexGTech Ya, good on ya for that! As for the slab form factor, I admit it's become a little long in the tooth, but I don't think it's going anywhere soon. I think it's "done" for people on the cutting edge, waiting for the latest and the greatest. Bucking a trend, however, is tough when huge swaths of the population rock the slab. Personally, as a tech enthusiast open to whatever's out there, I haven't felt the need for foldables. Pick your poison, I guess?
The Audio Mix function is neat if you need that, but I really don't like the way it makes voices sound like they've had all their mid clarity removed, and what it does to ambient sound, just makes it sound off to me.
I’ve been playing with it and I think the default settings are too aggressive. I was about to complain about not having a dial to tone it down a bit and guess what… there is a dial 😂 Turning it down to 30-35% in some of them makes it sound a bit more natural and less processed. I think this is an underrated feature actually. Shame we can’t use it on older videos but it’s pretty good I think
@AlexGTech It's good that you can dial it back. The examples given just show it default, and it sounds like someone took a noise removal plugin and put it at 100% hahaha. It is definitely a handy feature for when you need it. It didn't get much air time. They spent most the show talking about AI, sorry, Apple Intelligence. And it's not even half done yet, for another while! Samsung would be crucified for pulling that off! XD
Hey Alex, where did you get this nice wallpaper in the beginning with the robot wearing those neon-orange laces? Or did you designed it yourself? It looks so awesome! 🤩
With Face ID I can hold your phone to your face to access your phone. Once I’m in I can change it to mine. Apple needs to make it only the owner can unlock it, not me holding it against your face
I’m not sure how resident evil running poorly on an iPhone is Apple’s fault. Won’t that fall on the Developer? Last time I checked, that’s a Capcom game not an Apple game. lol
@@AlexGTech coming from a 13 pro. I’m torn between the 16 pro and the pixel 9 pro. I’ve been trying the pixel over the last week, fantastic phone, however, the rest of my family are iOS and that ties me in
If it was a 12 Pro, I’d say it would be a noticeable upgrade, but the 13 Pro is such a good iPhone, that it could go for another year or so. The jump to 16 Pro would be decent for sure, but not a major leap. I haven’t tested the Pixel 9 models yet, but based on my previous experience they are always solid phones, much better value for money if you are not tied into the Apple ecosystem
1️⃣Dynamic Island can’t beat Split View or real floating Windows you can find even on a midrange Android 😅. 2️⃣Face id on my 13 Pro 🆚 fingerprint scanner on my Nothing Phone(1) ➡️ fingerprint scanner wins. Whatever it's a notch or shitty island, it takes a part of the screen and it's not justified. 3️⃣people in Europe should wait until 17 Pro to send a message to Apple
Yes, I really don’t get why Apple refuses to introduce Split View or something similar. People say they don’t need it, but I guarantee the minute Apple releases it, it will become the most amazing feature ever 😂
Robert Louis Stevenson wrote about this Island thingy way back in 1883! So if you look very, very close, I bet that you'll find Ben Gunn hiding there looking for some apple flavoured cheese. Btw Nobody here at home knows that I actually got the iPhone 15+1 Pro Max 512gig 😮 Why? Well, I find it a bit embarrassing 😳. Great video as always 👍
yeah - but probably temporarily. For RUclips reviews the 16 Pro Max would be better, but personally I don't need an iPhone at all so I will probably go back to the Pro after the S25 Ultra comes out (assuming that will be any good)
I do love the Sony, ngl! I think in general the iPhone does make those look better, I will try and upload the originals here so you can see them properly, including other shots I took.
This is such a horrible upgrade for anyone out there. There should be no reason for anyone to upgrade and giving apple their hard earned money. Simply lacks innovation, and this company is falling behind quite hard !
Buddy you do realize that Apple just didn’t put a pill up there, it’s freaking Face ID lol! Now Apple is rumored to be putting Face ID under the screen and leaving the selfie camera open on the 17. I think you know all this, but just felt like saying something negative. Same design and being boring….hmmmm….what Android phone has been looking exactly the same for the past 3 years and is rumored to look pretty much the same in 2025? Yes, the Samsung “S” series. Rumors are that the S25 will get smaller bezels and a faster chip. According to you, “how exciting”. Oh, I forgot the satellite feature they are getting….welcome to 2022. All these different phones and all you do is use the same 5 apps over and over again! Don’t get me started!
Do you know searching for a contact from Dialer? It existed since the (non-smart) phone exists. And pausing a video while recording? Rearranging icons on home screen?
Nah, I criticise Samsung too for the lack of design changes. Think I made an entire video about how boring that has been since the S22U. In Samsung’s defence they do have other form factors and keep innovating with software too. But I don’t buy that Dynamic Island excuse. If Apple really wanted, they’d find a way to hide the sensors or move them elsewhere.
iPhone for over a decade, but recently tried Z Fold 5 and 6, Pixel 7 and 8, S24 Ultra, Pixel Fold etc and have now come back to iPhone. People who bash them just don’t seem to get it. Do they have all the bells and whistles, no! Do they work seamlessly with other tech (watches, AirPods, MacBooks), are apps better optimised etc, do they last longer than android phones, are they supported longer, do they hold their value better, ABSOLUTELY YES. And for me that is a MAJOR selling point and why so many people use iPhones. They are just better, simple!
Wouldn’t say ‘better’ consider how much more you get with other devices. But I’d agree with you, for people who are into the ecosystem, the iPhone is awesome
What do you suggest Apple replace the Dynamic Island with? Go back to the former notch? I wouldn’t mind that, but I like the Dynamic Island better. I sure as hell don’t want to lose my Face ID, and I assume most iPhone users don’t, either. So you’re always saying how terrible the Island is, but I haven’t heard what your technical solution is. I’m sure you have one that Apple hasn’t thought of. Let’s hear it.
I am sure if Apple wanted to they’d find a way. The notch was also horrible, and another way to identify iPhones. I do see the Marketing side of it but of all people on the planet, Apple are probably best placed to find better ways to house the sensors and give us a 100% display. If they wanted to…
Bro, I think Alex's point is that the Dynamic Island is H U G E . It's 5% of the screen. Imagine your house's mailbox occupying 5% of the entirety of your house. Apple could have used a combination of a small screen pinhole and a fingerprint sensor, like Samsung and others do. Apple didn't HAVE TO add that big ass FaceID hole to an already small screen. They could have waited a bit and worked to make it smaller.
Love your videos Alex you ways make them fun and so polished.... That said 😂 Apple are not innovative they are dictatortorial, boring and over expensive, selling people on fake ideologies while profiting on such greed through less is twice as expensive methodology. It's a company that has successfully made a great OS or IOS no doubt about that but that is where it ends. They are a dire awful scheming company regardless of their mobile business etc.
Hi Lee, thank you - yes they are pretty awful as a company and I hear some horror stories when dealing with creators too. Sad to see it as some of their products like the MacBook are top notch. They need a kick in the backside, but that can only come from customers I think. Whilst they still buy iPhones, they continue to dish out these yearly mediocre updates…
Apple sheep cope so hard on this island pill. Touch ID worked just as good if not better in some scenarios while giving you a full screen. Keep sheeping
Everybody keeps saying it’s not worth upgrading until Apple Intelligence comes out and you can’t use the new features if you have a 15 no but anything else yes idk what else y’all want them to do to the phone the pro iPhone has always been targeted to photographers and videographers anyways
I don't know if anyone else knows this but the iPhone 16 pro max pro motion is not pro and it's running 80hz and the difference is clear and feels slightly chopper than the 13/14/15 pro series but the jump from 60hz to 80hz is a big as 80hz to 120hz. They are trying to fool you with better battery life by downgrading the performance n refresh rate.
I think that was debunked actually. When you slow scroll content, the refresh rate does go to 120Hz. But fast scrolling gets adapted to 80Hz, as our eyes wouldn't notice the difference. Quite clever, maybe 'cheating' but 120Hz is shown to be used when needed.
@AlexGTech the difference is actually clear, and normally, you don't scroll slow unless you're reading an article normally you scroll fast and its day and night difference. The jump from 60hz to 80hz = 80hz to 120hz, and the jump from 60hz to 80hz is noticeable 60hz vs 80hz = 80hz vs 120hz = 120hz vs 240hz. The difference is noticeable from the 13/14/15 pro series to 16 Pro series. They were 120hz whenever you touch the screen unless you were playing games that only support 60fps.
Cool video. It is good to see you calling Apple on their BS. Others are definitely doing it now since this AI debacle, but I have noticed you have been doing it awhile.
@@raskarl thank you 🙏🏼 yeah they’ve been doing some cool stuff on Macs but I gotta say, the iPad and iPhone have disappointed me in the last 4-5 years…

Dynamic Island is in the way of most of my screen operations
Not a bad idea however I find it more gets in the way than it helps. I consider it a screen in a screen - forced.
@VKTR_Tech: He is talking about the distraction by physical hole. With such massive hole, Apple still calls it 6.9 inches without considering it. Dynamic island requires no hole to implement it. We sheep fall for it.
Honestly I like the animations and UI effects, etc. The hole is the issue. I think Apple could have found a better way to hide the sensors. But I also see the Marketing side…

Quit upgrading every damn year. My iPhone 12 has lasted 4 years with support and it’s still good.
I think that is the sensible approach for sure. If I wasn’t doing these reviews I’d be on my S21 Ultra or perhaps a 13 Pro Max…
I upgrade every year. It’s a free country. One should do whatever he/she wants. I don’t judge. I keep my mind prosperous and I DO see a lotta different things from one year to the other. Take care.

I got 16 pro max and I’m going to return it. The battery is the best but the phone is so boring. I’m coming from s23 ultra so I’m just wait for s25 ultra. In my opinion it have to many buttons cause s23 can do something and it have 3 buttons.
I don’t blame you! That S23 Ultra is probably the best smartphone launched in the last 5 years. Such a beast!
If you look at a phone as boring, you need to do other stuff in your life.
@mrkring1526 You need to understand there are people inclined towards tech, unlike you. You need to respect that.
But the s23 ultra doesn't have emergency satellite connectivity.
Hi, i have 11 pro. Is it worth upgrading?
All the premium phones look the same now, with Samsung and Google shamelessly copying iPhone’s flat edge design. Funny how with Apple its old and boring, while with Samsung and Google the copies are fresh and exciting.
anyway i cant even get through the day with the 16 pro
I haven’t been on Apples phones since the iPhone 6. I just got the 16 pro and what a phone. It’s better than all the androids I owned. I’ll use this over 2 or 3 new batteries. Ta
fair enough! Sometimes all we need is a change
May be boring but I am noticing as of today that objectively it is still the device with the best performance, best battery of most flagships while using smaller capacity, best gaming, best all around camera especially considering quality of log videos,best apps compatibility and has the most 3rd party accessories and support. And all that without AI which can only improve on that and bring the newness that we all waiting for and we’re disappointed it didn’t launch with. The only con really here no split screen which is not enough to trump all the pros. For one phone to have all these “best” should be seen as great IMO.
It's because it doesn't do anything 🤣
I’m bored with the iPhone too, but not enough to switch honestly. The ecosystem just works so damn well. I’m not upgrading from my 13 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max. HOWEVER I will if Apple release a foldable or my current phone stops being supported. This is another reason I’m not upgrading yet, until they do something about the Dynamic Island. I find it annoying when it cuts into 18:9 content
I see the point on the ecosystem. As much as I love my Android phones, I never underplay the hassle it is to move away. Heck, I've been using Android phones as my main device since 2021 and I'm still not completely out of the Apple ecosystem! 😅
@@AlexGTech what do you use an iPhone for then? If it’s not your main phone. I’ve tried Android in the past, I just can’t do it
Dynamic Island probably can’t be dropped easily. There is more tech in it than just the camera. And it wouldn’t be easy to fit it somewhere else I guess.
I’ve 14pro max ..should i upgrade ??
Definitely worth holding on if you are not bothered about these minor upgrades.
@@AlexGTech got it boss .. thank u 🙏🏻
IMO the regular 16 is very appealing because of colours, chipset, camera control button. These are colours that match the original iMac. Go see a video and you’ll know what I mean. That’s epic if you’re an Apple fan. Especially since iPhone 15 was so bland in colour.
I want to switch back to iPhone but it costs €949 here in Cyprus. For the base 16. So I’m looking at the 13 which is €600. However it’s been discontinued which means this is final stock. I will need several months of saving to afford the 13 but by then it will be out of stock. The 14 is the next one up but costs €749 and it won’t likely drop to €600 because then they’d have to drop the 15 and 16, which they won’t do.
The 14 is basically a 13 but with worse colours. The 15 is a minor improvement but with the most disgusting "colours" I’ve ever seen anywhere! I don’t want that crap. Life is too short to settle for ugly crap.
So, what to do? I’m going to have to save even longer than expected and maybe by mid next year get the 16? At which point it will instantly lose value because the 17 will be around the corner. …
I wish they weren’t so damn expensive, especially here in Europe. $700 in the US because the rest of the world is subsiding it!!!!!
This is probably the first year in a long time when the regular 16 or even the Plus are better value for money. The colours are nice too. 600 Euros for the 13 feels wrong to me… It’s a great phone but that feels overpriced considering I sold my 14 Pro Max for £800 a year ago.
@@AlexGTech Yes. Because we're on an island they like to hike the prices because they know but many countries ship here and if they do, by the time you pay import duties and shipping costs, you'll arrive at the fans price or more.
I had a look at used iPhone 13's on eBay UK and calculated that by the time I pay shipping, import duties and have a new battery fitted, it will cost €650. And that's for a scratched "good" condition used phone.....😢
I actually sent Tim Cook a long email asking that the new SE should not cost more than €400 incl VAT if they hope to see market share expansion. I also explained why we need interest free payment plans here and in other parts of the world to be able to afford these devices.
For €400/£350 ALOT or people would get the SE if it was the modern design with face id, one camera, 60hz oled, A16 bionic and slightly thicker bezels like the XR.
Many people would choose that over Xiaomi, Real Me, OnePlus etc budget phones, especially with 5-6 years OS upgrades.
Add to that a Watch SE at €250 and you're guaranteed to sell those like hotcakes. Also make Airpods SE for around €80 and again, you'll sell like hotcakes to the SE buyers.
They could massively increase market share and sales by following my advice but I doubt they will....
I want to switch from apple to google pixel 9 pro xl , I want to try something fresh and new to see how it goes
The point of those battery tests is to establish a baseline to compare a bunch of phones against for the sake of consistency. Sure, its not realistic use, but its also not inaccurate. Each of us use our phone differently, so when you create a repetitive test with a baseline across all devices, that's a much better test than "real use" that might vary in a thousand different ways.
Also, your assessment of Apple's privacy is inaccurate, and for someone who criticizes other RUclipsrs for releasing "irresponsible" tests (such as the one I just explained above), I would expect you to know that Apple has been demonstrated to not follow their own privacy policy, and sued because of it.
Realistic tests are just harder to do which is why those unrealistic ones exist. Done one of them once, never again. Extremely hard work to use multiple devices in the same way in a realistic scenario. Please point me to when Apple didn’t follow their own security policy and I will be happy to add a correction. In my research I did find them not to be 100% watertight but it is mainly when people choose unencrypted iCloud backups.
PRODUCTION QUALITY, MUSIC, EFFECTSSSSS ALL 🔥🔥🔥 But yes agreed, battery life is so far really good and those tests without SIM cards are SCAMS!!! And bruh I can't believe we gotta wait so long for the full suite of Apple Intelligence features to come out 😑Haha I miss my loaner Z Fold6 from Samsung I want it back!!! Amazing video as always Alex!!! 😄
Hey Fenson!! Yeah Apple out here playing us all! That Fold 6 is so nice to use. I think when the dust settles it will be my main. Thanks so much for the lovely words!
I get the point that battery tests not being reliable as there is no sim in these phones during drain test, however that factor is controlled by not having sim in all of the phones, therefore the results will translate at least in terms of ranking
Sure, I see that too, my main gripe is that it's not how people use their devices so in my view, it bears no relevance in terms of which device is actually better. some will manage 4G/5G/Wifi better than others and drastically change battery performance.
With the cash Apple has at hand, how long does it take to innovate and make monkey bar small? And do you know why they don't implement app multitasking (side by side)? It highlights the monkey bar more. Now enjoy your camera (button) controller and pausing while taking video. Innovation at best. At least other companies don't call these stuff innovations unlike Apple.
It makes me so angry when I think about that… so many ways to make the iPhone better and they give us these useless features?
Great information Alex. Spot on with Battery test that some are doing without Sim Card inside. Glad you sticking with S24 Ultra
Thank you! Yeah, I've just been playing with some performance settings on the S24U and it seems better battery wise. Still not as great as the S23U was though...
My Pro Max should arrive tomorrow upgrading from a Samsung Note 20 Ultra. Its going to be my first iPhone looking forward to trying the camera out hoping it will play nice with my iPad Pro and MacBook Pro I just want something that will work seamlessly with all my devices and hopefully going all in with Apple will work.
Nice! I’m sure you will find it awesome, there’s a lot to be said about the integration. For me personally, it’s hard to let go of all the features from other devices but I appreciate not everyone needs those
@@AlexGTech Its just arrieved this morning liking it so far though the screen looks smaller than the Note 20 ultra (iPhones rounded corners don't help that ) The camera seems to be really good might even be tempted to buy some of the reflex lenses....
You skipped any discussion about the Camera Control button. This is the most obvious change in the iPhone 16 line-up.
The Camera Control button is, in my opinion, the worst feature this year. It is terribly fiddly and awkward to use. It seems totally superfluous and unnecessary. And the biggest downside? It actually *slows* down your picture-taking task! It's much faster just to use the on-screen controls.
This button was ill-conceived. Instead of *removing* buttons from the iPhone, Apple decided to *add* new buttons such as the Action button and the Camera Control button. Steve Jobs must be spinning in his grave like a lathe.
I sincerely hope they remove this feature in the next iteration of the iPhone (17 or 18) after users express their displeasure.
Hi there, I talked about it (quite a lot) in my first review 😉
I love the review, man. It's clean, to the point, and well-edited, as usual. However, I like the dynamic island; it shows live scores of the matches I like, among other minor things.
However I would change that for an Apple foldable or a new design.
Thank you 🙏🏼 and well said, there are many ways in which Apple can make the iPhone more appealing and useful
I would still like to know what phone your driver is.
No worries, right now I am using the S24 Ultra as my main, but moving most of my things over to the Fold 6. The only things left to move are my Authenticator apps and banking apps. I think I will try the Pixel 9 Pro in October for a bit, and still use the Xperia 1 VI every now and then. The iPhone is getting some use now too, and I am sure I will keep the Pro eventually as I do like to use the iPhone for videos and some of home automation, parental controls are still done via the iPhone. Complicated but I like the mix right now
This is the reason why I am subscribed to your channel and I watch your videos. Authenticity and the truth is what I’m looking for. Also too the small jokes that you crack in between. I absolutely love it. The S 24 ultra and the Galaxy watch ultra is my main phone. I too was imprisoned by Apple.
That’s so kind, thank you! I have a lot of fun making these videos, I’m glad you enjoy them 🥰
I'm glad to hear that you broke out of Apple jail!
@@AlexGTech keep doing what you're doing. It keeps me tuned in.
@@VernL4 same! Thank you.
I was looking for a iPhone 15 PM because I knew the prices would drop but ended up getting a 16 PM. I usually switch every couple months but nobody really innovating these days and all companies pretty much good across the board so then it falls to who has the better ecosystem… 🤷🏾
The battery life on my iPhone 16 Pro has been terrible. I'm considering returning it for the 16 Pro Max. Upgraded from a 12 pro max.
I have the 12 Pro Max. It's great, nothing wrong with it. I've considered upgrading and giving my phone to my dad. Can you tell a big difference in the photos/videos? I'd like USB-C to make offloading files easier. Other than that, no real urge to upgrade.
@michaelgiordano The difference in the quality of photos and videos is a big difference in my opinion. I haven't had a chance to test the data transfer speeds yet. The phone charges a lot faster with this 45W type c fast charger I bought. The main reason I upgraded was because it was free with a Verizon trade-in.
@@CryptoBenz7 oh nice. I haven't bought a phone from Verizon in forever, I'll look into that. Thanks!
That’s surprising, do you use it a lot for videos/gaming?
@@AlexGTech I do use the camera a good bit. Also a lot of content consumption and some gaming. The 6.3 screen size feels just right though. Maybe with time, it will get adjusted to my charging schedule.
iPhone 13 to now are all similar. Get an older one. It’s not worth the 2 grand AUD for a 16.
Agreed, 13 Pro was peak iPhone imo
That battery stat only shows around 3 hours 50 mins of screen on time at 12% remaining?
My battery depletes too so disappointed..
This year for whatever weird reason I'm so intrigued in switching back to the iPhone
Don’t do it bro 🤣 just kidding, sometimes a change is good. For me it’s just not possible to leave behind all the features I get on Android
@@AlexGTech true I'm struggling with that
Nevermind, I spent 30 minutes with my wife's iPhone 14 Pro Max on iOS 18 and yeah it's not for me. The iPhone starts to feel like a dumb phone after using a Pixel 9 Pro
I love the dynamic island and i miss it hard on my s24. One reason of many to go back to apple
wow, that's the first time I hear that! I noticed another brand, maybe Oppo/Honor are using the dynamic island too. I hope Apple finds a way to keep the island, but maybe hide it when not in use.
Thanks for the review! I don't get the "I'm bored with iPhone" narrative. It doesn't escape anyone that Google and Samsung actually model their pro and entry level devices on the iPhone. It's not boring when they do it, but it is when it comes to Apple. Hmmmm methinks there's a double standard here. In any case, I'm sticking with the OG since it's the benchmark for what's hip and what's not.
I think it’s boring when they do it too, I think I even titled a video “Same old boring phone” when the S22 Ultra came out for example 😂 This whole form factor needs a revamp which is why I appreciate foldable these days. When the price on those drop or when Apple makes one, I think slab phones are done.
@@AlexGTech Ya, good on ya for that! As for the slab form factor, I admit it's become a little long in the tooth, but I don't think it's going anywhere soon. I think it's "done" for people on the cutting edge, waiting for the latest and the greatest. Bucking a trend, however, is tough when huge swaths of the population rock the slab. Personally, as a tech enthusiast open to whatever's out there, I haven't felt the need for foldables. Pick your poison, I guess?
I upgraded from XS to 16 pro, however I find the battery drains to quick. In testing it on 4g network to see if it makes a difference.
May I ask how’s it with 4g?
@@fhhnaa I think it’s a bit better, but iv also had to switch it to low power mode every day just to get me through the day. Not good
@@gezrez3511 oh that’s bad… I thought it going to be better than the 15 pro. Will be upgrade from the xs as well.
That's weird. The 16 Pro has the pro best battery so far.
@ I think it’s better, but the battery is still bad I have it in save mode all the time.
The Audio Mix function is neat if you need that, but I really don't like the way it makes voices sound like they've had all their mid clarity removed, and what it does to ambient sound, just makes it sound off to me.
I’ve been playing with it and I think the default settings are too aggressive. I was about to complain about not having a dial to tone it down a bit and guess what… there is a dial 😂 Turning it down to 30-35% in some of them makes it sound a bit more natural and less processed. I think this is an underrated feature actually. Shame we can’t use it on older videos but it’s pretty good I think
@AlexGTech It's good that you can dial it back. The examples given just show it default, and it sounds like someone took a noise removal plugin and put it at 100% hahaha.
It is definitely a handy feature for when you need it. It didn't get much air time. They spent most the show talking about AI, sorry, Apple Intelligence. And it's not even half done yet, for another while! Samsung would be crucified for pulling that off! XD
Hey Alex, where did you get this nice wallpaper in the beginning with the robot wearing those neon-orange laces? Or did you designed it yourself?
It looks so awesome! 🤩
@@Smjasa_B hi there, thank you! It’s from an app called One4Wall. They do some nice stuff in there, some free, some paid.
Sorry if I missed this but I didn't see a section on the Camera Control button?
I did an entire video about that: ruclips.net/video/2FNHNK1vqQ8/видео.htmlsi=lsKicgCpCnsQHPZ5
With Face ID I can hold your phone to your face to access your phone. Once I’m in I can change it to mine. Apple needs to make it only the owner can unlock it, not me holding it against your face
I like FaceID, but yeah it's not flawless
I’m not sure how resident evil running poorly on an iPhone is Apple’s fault. Won’t that fall on the Developer? Last time I checked, that’s a Capcom game not an Apple game. lol
Why does Apple go on an on about AAA games then?
Was just about to go into town to buy one of these
What are you upgrading from? It is a decent phone, depending on what you are coming from 👊🏻
@@AlexGTech coming from a 13 pro. I’m torn between the 16 pro and the pixel 9 pro. I’ve been trying the pixel over the last week, fantastic phone, however, the rest of my family are iOS and that ties me in
@@graham1155what ties you in? Airdrop?
If it was a 12 Pro, I’d say it would be a noticeable upgrade, but the 13 Pro is such a good iPhone, that it could go for another year or so. The jump to 16 Pro would be decent for sure, but not a major leap. I haven’t tested the Pixel 9 models yet, but based on my previous experience they are always solid phones, much better value for money if you are not tied into the Apple ecosystem
How's that tying you in?@@graham1155
1️⃣Dynamic Island can’t beat Split View or real floating Windows you can find even on a midrange Android 😅.
2️⃣Face id on my 13 Pro 🆚 fingerprint scanner on my Nothing Phone(1) ➡️ fingerprint scanner wins. Whatever it's a notch or shitty island, it takes a part of the screen and it's not justified.
3️⃣people in Europe should wait until 17 Pro to send a message to Apple
Yes, I really don’t get why Apple refuses to introduce Split View or something similar. People say they don’t need it, but I guarantee the minute Apple releases it, it will become the most amazing feature ever 😂
@@AlexGTech maybe to continue selling iPad for Pro users, who need Split View when they work. It's better to sell 2 devices than 1. 💰💰💰
Robert Louis Stevenson wrote about this Island thingy way back in 1883! So if you look very, very close, I bet that you'll find Ben Gunn hiding there looking for some apple flavoured cheese.
Btw Nobody here at home knows that I actually got the iPhone 15+1 Pro Max 512gig 😮
Why? Well, I find it a bit embarrassing 😳.
Great video as always 👍
haha what a treasured memory! And yes, best to keep that purchase a secret!
Not a word on the new button?
What is there to say about the Camera Control lol. It’s ass.
So is it going back 😮
yeah - but probably temporarily. For RUclips reviews the 16 Pro Max would be better, but personally I don't need an iPhone at all so I will probably go back to the Pro after the S25 Ultra comes out (assuming that will be any good)
The photos you showed for the macro shots were better on Xperia... Dunno how you managed that. Yet u said iphone won. So ... Weird.
I do love the Sony, ngl! I think in general the iPhone does make those look better, I will try and upload the originals here so you can see them properly, including other shots I took.
Great review alex!!
I'm gonna keep 15promax, no reason to upgrade.
Also sticking to iOS 17.7 as iOS 18 is super bloated mess
Sounds like the most sensible decision to be honest! Camera is great but side by side with 15 Pro they really look identical
@@AlexGTech also same design
Regarding phycial camera button, it is stupid to have it when u have a full touch screen device
How can I put a wallpaper on the homescreen without being blurry on the top
Not sure to be honest, is it called depth mode/effect? Will look into that
I wanted something new so I switche to z fold 6... phones are fun once again
Right!? Such an awesome device, have you installed 6.1.1 yet?
@@AlexGTech yes, and it's so much better
0:06 Man, I really need this wallpaper! Do you have a link? Amazing video!
Hi there, it’s from an app (not Marques’ 😂) it’s called One4Wall. Very basic but most are free or fairly low priced.
Thank you very much! @@AlexGTech
Thanks great video
Glad you enjoyed it, much more to come 🥰
This is such a horrible upgrade for anyone out there. There should be no reason for anyone to upgrade and giving apple their hard earned money. Simply lacks innovation, and this company is falling behind quite hard !
Buddy you do realize that Apple just didn’t put a pill up there, it’s freaking Face ID lol! Now Apple is rumored to be putting Face ID under the screen and leaving the selfie camera open on the 17. I think you know all this, but just felt like saying something negative. Same design and being boring….hmmmm….what Android phone has been looking exactly the same for the past 3 years and is rumored to look pretty much the same in 2025? Yes, the Samsung “S” series. Rumors are that the S25 will get smaller bezels and a faster chip. According to you, “how exciting”. Oh, I forgot the satellite feature they are getting….welcome to 2022. All these different phones and all you do is use the same 5 apps over and over again! Don’t get me started!
Do you know searching for a contact from Dialer? It existed since the (non-smart) phone exists. And pausing a video while recording? Rearranging icons on home screen?
Nah, I criticise Samsung too for the lack of design changes. Think I made an entire video about how boring that has been since the S22U. In Samsung’s defence they do have other form factors and keep innovating with software too.
But I don’t buy that Dynamic Island excuse. If Apple really wanted, they’d find a way to hide the sensors or move them elsewhere.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much 🙌🏼
iPhone for over a decade, but recently tried Z Fold 5 and 6, Pixel 7 and 8, S24 Ultra, Pixel Fold etc and have now come back to iPhone.
People who bash them just don’t seem to get it. Do they have all the bells and whistles, no! Do they work seamlessly with other tech (watches, AirPods, MacBooks), are apps better optimised etc, do they last longer than android phones, are they supported longer, do they hold their value better, ABSOLUTELY YES.
And for me that is a MAJOR selling point and why so many people use iPhones.
They are just better, simple!
Wouldn’t say ‘better’ consider how much more you get with other devices. But I’d agree with you, for people who are into the ecosystem, the iPhone is awesome
What do you suggest Apple replace the Dynamic Island with? Go back to the former notch? I wouldn’t mind that, but I like the Dynamic Island better. I sure as hell don’t want to lose my Face ID, and I assume most iPhone users don’t, either. So you’re always saying how terrible the Island is, but I haven’t heard what your technical solution is. I’m sure you have one that Apple hasn’t thought of. Let’s hear it.
I am sure if Apple wanted to they’d find a way. The notch was also horrible, and another way to identify iPhones. I do see the Marketing side of it but of all people on the planet, Apple are probably best placed to find better ways to house the sensors and give us a 100% display. If they wanted to…
Bro, I think Alex's point is that the Dynamic Island is H U G E . It's 5% of the screen. Imagine your house's mailbox occupying 5% of the entirety of your house. Apple could have used a combination of a small screen pinhole and a fingerprint sensor, like Samsung and others do. Apple didn't HAVE TO add that big ass FaceID hole to an already small screen. They could have waited a bit and worked to make it smaller.
Love your videos Alex you ways make them fun and so polished.... That said 😂 Apple are not innovative they are dictatortorial, boring and over expensive, selling people on fake ideologies while profiting on such greed through less is twice as expensive methodology.
It's a company that has successfully made a great OS or IOS no doubt about that but that is where it ends. They are a dire awful scheming company regardless of their mobile business etc.
Hi Lee, thank you - yes they are pretty awful as a company and I hear some horror stories when dealing with creators too. Sad to see it as some of their products like the MacBook are top notch. They need a kick in the backside, but that can only come from customers I think. Whilst they still buy iPhones, they continue to dish out these yearly mediocre updates…
@@AlexGTech Mediocre.... I've been saying for a few years that Apple makes mediocre devices at luxury prices! 🤣
Apple sheep cope so hard on this island pill. Touch ID worked just as good if not better in some scenarios while giving you a full screen. Keep sheeping
💯 I’d rather a Touch ID button where they put that camera button
Iph 16 pro max worst batery
Everybody keeps saying it’s not worth upgrading until Apple Intelligence comes out and you can’t use the new features if you have a 15 no but anything else yes idk what else y’all want them to do to the phone the pro iPhone has always been targeted to photographers and videographers anyways
I don't know if anyone else knows this but the iPhone 16 pro max pro motion is not pro and it's running 80hz and the difference is clear and feels slightly chopper than the 13/14/15 pro series but the jump from 60hz to 80hz is a big as 80hz to 120hz. They are trying to fool you with better battery life by downgrading the performance n refresh rate.
I think that was debunked actually. When you slow scroll content, the refresh rate does go to 120Hz. But fast scrolling gets adapted to 80Hz, as our eyes wouldn't notice the difference. Quite clever, maybe 'cheating' but 120Hz is shown to be used when needed.
@AlexGTech the difference is actually clear, and normally, you don't scroll slow unless you're reading an article normally you scroll fast and its day and night difference. The jump from 60hz to 80hz = 80hz to 120hz, and the jump from 60hz to 80hz is noticeable 60hz vs 80hz = 80hz vs 120hz = 120hz vs 240hz. The difference is noticeable from the 13/14/15 pro series to 16 Pro series. They were 120hz whenever you touch the screen unless you were playing games that only support 60fps.
Is the battery comment a swing at MrYouKnowWho?
