That what we did with my mom-n-law, from 5 to 11 pro. We were already subscribed to RUclips without commercials. Sometimes, the billing doesn’t act right. The commercials come back right away. I added her to our subscription plan. It is funny that she gets upset when she has to deal with the commercials. We have her spoiled .. lol!
Holy crap broooo. That’s a HUGE UPGRADE! Massive. The IPhone X was cool when it first came out but when I had it it used to die so much I had to keep recharging 3 or 4 times a day i had to walk with my charger… yeah I have the 15 pro max and this is the best battery life I’ve had but yeah they made it even better on the 16 pro max. Congrats.
same here! i think about the pro max since i had the 12 pro max and it was ok in size but the 16 pro max should be even bigger.. i dont know i want a big phone again but not an ipad haha
I thought the same. It is strange how things happen for a reason. I had the iPhone pro max 16 ordered and it got delayed for 5 weeks. So I ordered the iPhone 16 pro. I then saw the increased size to 6.3 inch and it is quite alright. The iPhone 13 Pro Max is 240grams it is one of the heaviest phones Apple created. The iPhone 16 pro is 199 grams that’s 40 grams lighter. That’s 25% lighter. I found it at times too big heavy to carry specifically when wearing shorts. I will see how I get on.
@@cheesecake4you yes 👍 13 pro max kinda make my short going down too😀 and now I realise a phone for normal hands should be max 6.5 around for best viewing and comfort too .. not more than that ❤️ 13pm is the best iphone i ever used but the weight and size together make this phone bit tough to use by one hand when situations are like that .
My smart phone journey: Small net 10 phone with plastic buttons -> Palm pre -> LG Optimum. -> iPhone 6 PLUS -> iPhone 8 PLUS -> iPhone 11 Pro Max --> iPhone 14 Pro Max
Wow what a perfect review Andru ❤ Goin from the iPhone 12 PRO Max to iPhone 16 pro Max so i could not be more excited Happy IPhone 16s launch everyone 🥳
I always change my iPhone every year but this year I don’t feel like I need to change, I don’t see big changes to change, I have the iPhone 15 PM 1T, and I’m happy,
@@brandonkuhh9143 What are you talking about of course I will have it they only have it from the iPhone 15 Pro Max to the 16 that’s why I won’t change my phone for the 16 because the 15 pro Max has everything that the 16 has the only difference is the new camera buttons
It’s easier than ever to get the developer beta. Currently it’s at 18.1 and you can get a fair amount of the new features. I have not had any issues with the developer beta thus far.
First person I've seen not over complain about the camera button being new. I think its a reasonable and fun new addition. I'm going from a 14 pro max to a 16 pro max (Which should be delivered tomorrow)
That is what we did with my mom-n-law, from 5 to 11 pro. We were already subscribed to RUclips without commercials. Sometimes, the billing doesn’t act right. The commercials come back right away. I added her to our subscription plan. It is funny that she gets upset when she has to deal with the commercials. We have her spoiled .. lol!
All the others say it doesnt do 45 wired charging even with a more powerfull charger. So he just repeats some internet reumor leak without actually testing
I’ve got the 1tb 14pro max..and the reasons I’m upgrading is for the usb from lighting, better battery, Apple intelligence, more camera features (got kids so video content is a must with them), upgrades with 5g, WiFi 7, faster charging and the slightly bigger screen. Now for the those with the 15 pro I’d say wait for next year. I usually if necessary upgrade every two years anyway. I know next year it’s going to be different. If they come out with an ultra iPhone then that’d be cool and all. I’ll wait for the revamp and improve version of that in 2026. Also it’s suck that I can’t even use the AI with the 14 series anyway.
I'm going to upgrade from my 13 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max. I already use my 13 Pro Max as my primary camera for my car content creation across Instagram, TikTok, & here on RUclips, so I would use the cameras & studio quality mics for more in-depth reviews of different cars
13pm to 16p. Very excited. Longest I've ever kept a phone before. I'm kind of sold on the AI features coming, along with going with 256GB. Hopefully I can keep this one in for 5+ years
How are the speakers quality? I plan to upgrade from 14 Pro to 16 Pro Max and sometimes like to watch contents without connecting to a Bluetooth speaker.
From a 13PM to 16 PM, Usb-C port, USB3 speed, 6.9" display, better display resolution, Dynamic island, Wifi7, Bluetooth 5.3, new battery, new chip, better proformance, updated camera, action & camera button, better heat dissipation, Apple AI in Fall, 0% APR for 24 months w/ ACMI, unlocked, etc etc etc 😊 Apples website showed Apple AI wasn't going to be released until later in Fall and NOT when the phone is released. Stop complaining. Just wait and be patient. Then after, complain if its any good or not. My only gripe is the Pro Max model didn’t have a Blue color. But i was putting it in a Blue phone case anyway. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I’ve upgraded from the 13PM to the 16PM and I’m not that excited to be honest. The only reason I’ve upgraded is because the battery on my 13 is at 86 % and doesn’t last very long and the charging port doesn’t work correctly, so really needed a new phone.
I'm also thinking about switching from 13 PM to 16 PM. What I wanna know is that is it worth it to upgrade? my battery health is at 80%. Is it worth it to get the new phone or just a battery change from apple??
@@SimplyRajput if my charging port was working, I’d of kept the 13 and paid for the battery replacement from Apple, I’d of probably waited for the 17. But as my charging port is faulty, and would cost £150/ £200 ish to replace, plus the battery replacement, I thought I’d just get the 16PM. I also have a slight crack in my 13PM screen.
Finally, a video on the black 16 pro. iJustine's vidoe was the first one I saw on the white and this is the first one on black. Thank you for not just getting the gold and the titanium like everyone else. I wanna see the other colours too and this is helpful 👍
I've been using the iPhone 13 Pro Max since it launched so I'm now within the upgrade time frame. The USB-C charging alone is a big update from what I have. It'd be nice to ditch Lightning devices.
Also for the record to appeal to a broader audience when you bring up spatial video and photos it's good to mention you can also view the material on the Oculus 3 as well.
you mentioned the iPhone 15 pro might not be a must have for casual users, and that an iPhone 13 Pro upgrade to 16 pro would likely be worth it. as an iPhone 14 Pro casual user, would you recommend waiting for the 17 pro?
As a casual user I’d probably wait unless you’re wanting to use the Apple Intelligence features. Just my opinion! If there’s anything about your experience that you want to upgrade sooner, maybe battery life, that’s another good reason to upgrade.
@@Andru thanks Andru. with the news that Apple Intelligence isnt even really a feature yet just a hypothetical, I think ill just ride it out with my 14 pro and wait for the 17 pro
So how does iPhone 16 pro max ultra wide 48 mp take better photos than iPhone 15 pro ultra wide when it’s still only really 12 mega pixels your unable to use heif 48 mp ultra wide ??
OMG, my 15 Pro ran HOT. Like, ALL DAY EVERY DAY. I got used to it, but whenever my girlfriend touched it, she would mention how hot it was. Those was are OVER with the 16 Pro!
@@Andru oh that’s sounds very promising, thanks for the quick feedback! Would you even say it is better than on the iphone 14 pro? Mine is always running a bit warm 🫣
Writing a review of an iPhone year by year is surprisingly straightforward, especially when using the previous year's template. Apple tends to follow a pattern of incremental updates, which means that many features-like design, camera, and performance-can be easily compared to the prior model with just a few tweaks!
I've currently got a 13 Pro Max - any advise on whether to upgrade to the 16 Pro or 16 Pro Max? I'm thinking of going with the Pro this time due to it being better ergonomically and not having a whole tablet inside your pocket, lol
Hey man, how much screen on time did you get on the 16 Pro? I'm currently using the 13 Pro Max, but I'm tired of big phones and I want to get the non Max model instead. But I'm afraid that the battery will not meet my expectations
Oh from 13 Pro to 16 Pro you will get a big increase. I mean it's about 3 hours more than the 15 Pro. I can easily get through a morning-to-night "day" on the 16 Pro, which surprised me because I never could before and always needed a Max size for that.
@@Andru I'm an android user and switching to 16 pro so hopefully the battery life is good. And one of my friends got a 15 pro and said that he gets like 7-8 hours of battery life.
The base model iPhones are far more feature rich and capable than previous years devices and for the majority of people it's the one to get, and pre-orders show that that is the case
I saw you do a breakdown in your last video's comment section on the 16's new features.. could you run through the Pros' exclusive features over the non-Pros?
Sure, there's quite a bit separating: Larger 6.3-inch display (vs 6.1-inch on iPhone 16) ProMotion technology with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz Always-On display capability Design & Materials Titanium frame (vs aluminum on iPhone 16) New thermal management system with graphite-clad aluminum substructure A18 Pro chip (vs A18 on iPhone 16) Additional GPU core (6 cores vs 5 on iPhone 16) Potentially higher CPU clock speeds Triple rear camera setup (vs dual cameras on iPhone 16) 48MP main "Fusion" camera with larger sensor 48MP ultra-wide camera (vs 12MP on iPhone 16) 12MP 5x telephoto camera with tetraprism lens (not available on iPhone 16) Improved low-light performance ProRAW photo capture ProRes video recording 4K 120fps Dolby Vision video recording LiDAR Scanner for enhanced AR experiences and Night mode portraits Dual-band GPS (vs single-band on iPhone 16) USB 3 transfer speeds (vs USB 2 on iPhone 16) Support for Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) for pro video workflows Longer battery life Enhanced Audio Mix feature for separating speech from background noise
I’ve been fascinated by this apple launch..it’s such a “minor upgrade” (I state with little technology actual intelligence) hardware side but the software of AI will be huge. “Will be huge” the delay is terrible and looses the launch excitement completely. Also, 15 pro users have a very little OR no incentive to upgrade. No way will I be upgrading my wonderful 15PM as I will eventually be getting the main selling story of AI from apple. Overall, some nice ideas for the 16 pro line. That camera button is ridiculous though. What were they thinking ?! 15 pro users - red. Don’t upgrade. 14 pro users - amber. Would be a nice upgrade, especially if AI is a big factor. 13,12 pro users, green. Go for it
Confused between pro and pro max,I’m not a heavy user but I usually go around 4-5 hours screen on RUclips and social media which one should I get ,I’m upgrading from 12 pro max
GET A MAX AGAIN. I promise you…… I promise you…. I have “small” hands and the 14 Pro Max (from the 12 regular) was the best decisions I’ve ever made… I’ll keep this 14 Pro Max until like iPhone 22 ultra maximillion
GET A MAX AGAIN. I promise you…… I promise you…. I have “small” hands and the 14 Pro Max (from the 12 regular) was the best decisions I’ve ever made… I’ll keep this 14 Pro Max until like iPhone 22 ultra maximillion
The non-Max 16 will have better battery life than your 12 Pro Max. If you want a smaller phone, you'll be safe there. Of course, the 16 Pro Max will be even better by about 2 hours which may be negligible anyway!
@@Andru is two hours really “negligible”?? I got kids my man, 2 hours of phone call time, or RUclips time, or video recording. Hell, ONE hour. That’s 60 whole minutes… that’s two whole tv episodes (back in the day episodes). I think even adding a whole HOUR to these already power efficient devices is HUGE. 💜 thank you for telling it like it is! It’s annoying every year seeing a horde of people saying Apple sucks…. Apple is literally leading the US market….. if Samsung got their shit together and actually made wholesome products, they would be top. But they aren’t, cause they don’t. Apple has been at this race for a long time, THEY started it.
upgrading from a iphone 11 to 16 pro i didn’t think it was worth upgrading but my phone has started to lag bad and have random screen freezes throughout me using it so had to upgrade if not would’ve waited for 17 😢
They’ve been using the same display panel for years now, why can’t they increase the manual brightness and high ambient auto brightness now. The Pros literally have the same display panel as the 15/15 Plus/15 Pro and the normal 16 models
Audio mix: Studio mode was by far the best. In frame mode was pretty poor. Standard mode with post adjustment would also be pretty good & better than In Frame. BUT... How far away can it work???
Andru I’ve always enjoyed your presentations but your review skews to favor Apple marketing talking points. Rather than an accurate reflection for consumers? For example in mixed format testing by Mrwhostheboss the regular 16 lasting 7 hours and change is the same as the 16 Pro? In other tests in the same Apple vs Samsung tests the Samsung S24 ultra battery life released last January outlasts this current 16 Pro Max release? In addition Super Saf’s rather thorough camera tests claim the S24 outperforms 16 Pro Max cameras on many levels. Including portrait, 2x, 3x and beyond 5x. I’ve had Apple products for years and enjoy them but weary of incremental upgrades that are based on selling you the next device instead of the best device.
Which iphone would you recommend around 500 pounds? I’m currently using iphone 12 for 4 years. I want to upgrade mainly bc of the storage! It has only 64gb!
Have you tested the wired fast charging support for 45W in the real world? Because all of the RUclipsrs and even the Apple mentioned only the improvement in wireless charging speed and not the wired one😅
It’s probably better. Apple is supposedly adding an upgraded thermal management system involving a larger graphite sheet to help dissipate heat. We won’t really know until teardowns come out online
I mean ChatGPT integration and MAYBE Genmoji might be the only practical applications of Apple Intelligence, the rest of that stuff just seems like gimmicks that people aren’t going to use. This feels like the era of Samsung where they were throwing out everything but the kitchen sink to see what would stick, which resulted in a phone with a bunch of useless bloat software and sensors
Oh I'm telling you right now, while the writing tools are something I'd never use, the summarization tools are great - and the summarizing of emails in the inbox and notifications are AWESOME. I legitimately save more time in my day because of those two things combined. They're smaller features, but they're so good. And c'mon - Genmoji? I'm gonna be all over that.
Apple majorly dropped the ball by not having the AI features available from rollout, but I doubt that will slow sales. I will prolly being upgrading to a 16 this year and finally saying goodbye to my trusty Samsung . . . though I have been enjoying the benefit of a dedicated camera 'on' button with all of my Android phones, so I am amazed that Apple are so slow to this party.
WAIT I Have A Great Question Regarding Spacial photo Capture Since with the New Vision Update you can turn Old Photos into Spacial photos do you actually need to take them in spacial mode then For instance i just take photos without setting the spacial mode and change it later will the outcome be the same?🤔
Upgrading from iPhone 5 to iPhone 16 Pro so every feature that was introduced since iPhone 6 to iPhone 16 is new to me!
congrats- that's a crazy upgrade - you will love it
That what we did with my mom-n-law, from 5 to 11 pro. We were already subscribed to RUclips without commercials. Sometimes, the billing doesn’t act right. The commercials come back right away. I added her to our subscription plan. It is funny that she gets upset when she has to deal with the commercials. We have her spoiled .. lol!
😂😂😂
Thats a huge upgrade, you're gonna love it.
Unfortunately I do that with my current iPhone 15 pro. 99% at exactly 200 charge cycles as of now.
Going from iPhone X to 16 Pro. Looking forward to not having to charge my phone 3 times a day
Holy crap broooo. That’s a HUGE UPGRADE! Massive.

Oh that is a NICE upgrade!
Same here!
same herr 😅
@@Andru yeah atleast I’ll feel refreshed than others 🥂
same here
Upgrading from an iPhone 13 pro is so tough, I really want the teal of the 16, but im too used to the high frame rates of a pro phone
put a skin 👍🏻
That’s not an upgrade at that point
I’m thinking of canceling my iPhone 16 and just sticking with the 13 Pro for another year
Wait another year
@@digitalhen if you hesitating - just cancel it - going to Pro to Pro rarely is worth it -unless you carrier is doing a no-cost swap for you.
Upgrading from Samsung A10 to IPhone 16 pro. It’s going be a whole new experience. My first IPhone 📱
Amazing video open honest, not opinion based you’ve taken the rain as my new favorite reviewer/content creator amazing job

My smart phone journey:
Small net 10 phone with plastic buttons -> Palm pre -> LG Optimum. -> iPhone 6 PLUS -> iPhone 8 PLUS -> iPhone 11 Pro Max --> iPhone 14 Pro Max
I bet apple is letting the AI learn your routines and habits in the background so when it rolls out in a few weeks it will work better.
yeah theres absolutely no way they just started gathering data
iPhone 13 to iPhone 16 pro lol just ordered it last night
Enjoy the phone
lol how long is the ship time? prolly better just to pick it up in the store.

@@Andru You are the best tech youtuber ever. Thank you!!
Wanted to see reviews first. Going to 16pro from regular 14
Dawg hang onto your 14 for another year… unless you LOVE the pro colors, wait….
@@NotGarrettG thanks for the suggestion. Any reason why you say that
16 pro max arriving tomorrow by 7pm. Case and screen protector already here
I think you’re the only one I’ve seen who got the space black to review !
My sister is going to love 16 pro max. Currently, she has an iPhone 8😅.thanks for the info and insights.
I’ve been fascinated by this apple launch..it’s such a “minor upgrade” (I state with little technology actual intelligence) hardware side but the software of AI will be huge. “Will be huge” the delay is terrible and looses the launch excitement completely.
Also, 15 pro users have a very little OR no incentive to upgrade. No way will I be upgrading my wonderful 15PM as I will eventually be getting the main selling story of AI from apple.
Overall, some nice ideas for the 16 pro line. That camera button is ridiculous though. What were they thinking ?!
15 pro users - red. Don’t upgrade.
14 pro users - amber. Would be a nice upgrade, especially if AI is a big factor.
13,12 pro users, green. Go for it
Confused between pro and pro max,I’m not a heavy user but I usually go around 4-5 hours screen on RUclips and social media which one should I get ,I’m upgrading from 12 pro max
GET A MAX AGAIN. I promise you…… I promise you…. I have “small” hands and the 14 Pro Max (from the 12 regular) was the best decisions I’ve ever made… I’ll keep this 14 Pro Max until like iPhone 22 ultra maximillion

The non-Max 16 will have better battery life than your 12 Pro Max. If you want a smaller phone, you'll be safe there. Of course, the 16 Pro Max will be even better by about 2 hours which may be negligible anyway!
@@Andru yeah, thanks man ,and I will be able to get AirPods 4 basic and save some money
@@Andru is two hours really “negligible”?? I got kids my man, 2 hours of phone call time, or RUclips time, or video recording. Hell, ONE hour. That’s 60 whole minutes… that’s two whole tv episodes (back in the day episodes). I think even adding a whole HOUR to these already power efficient devices is HUGE. 💜 thank you for telling it like it is! It’s annoying every year seeing a horde of people saying Apple sucks…. Apple is literally leading the US market….. if Samsung got their shit together and actually made wholesome products, they would be top. But they aren’t, cause they don’t.
Apple has been at this race for a long time, THEY started it.
Upgrading from Oneplus 7t to 16 pro max!
Going from a 13 Mini to a 16 Pro, I feel it will be a decent upgrade.
upgrading from a iphone 11 to 16 pro i didn’t think it was worth upgrading but my phone has started to lag bad and have random screen freezes throughout me using it so had to upgrade if not would’ve waited for 17 😢
Thank you for the review!!
Glad it was helpful!
When recording concerts what audio mix would you suggest?
They’ve been using the same display panel for years now, why can’t they increase the manual brightness and high ambient auto brightness now. The Pros literally have the same display panel as the 15/15 Plus/15 Pro and the normal 16 models
Upgrading from XR to 16 Pro Max …
That’s gonna be a major upgrade for you!
Going XS max to 16 pro max. Hope it’s not too big, but at least I won’t have to recharge my slow ass phone multiple times per day
S24 ultra to 16 pro max! Gettin that IOS Upgrade!
Finally, a real review.
🫡 I appreciate you!
Audio mix: Studio mode was by far the best. In frame mode was pretty poor. Standard mode with post adjustment would also be pretty good & better than In Frame.
BUT...
How far away can it work???
I feel like I’m at a T-Mobile listening to this guy.
Andru I’ve always enjoyed your presentations but your review skews to favor Apple marketing talking points. Rather than an accurate reflection for consumers?
For example in mixed format testing by Mrwhostheboss the regular 16 lasting 7 hours and change is the same as the 16 Pro?
In other tests in the same Apple vs Samsung tests the Samsung S24 ultra battery life released last January outlasts this current 16 Pro Max release?
In addition Super Saf’s rather thorough camera tests claim the S24 outperforms 16 Pro Max cameras on many levels. Including portrait, 2x, 3x and beyond 5x.
I’ve had Apple products for years and enjoy them but weary of incremental upgrades that are based on selling you the next device instead of the best device.
Excellent and well balanced review - thanks
What an excellently done video!
Thank you very much! Really appreciate those kind words!
Where you get the wallpapers on the iPhones ., they look really nice.
Going from iPhone 11PROMAX to 16 Pro, will be a BIG jump!
Is this the year to go casefree in your experience?
I’ve been case-free since the original iPhone 😅
XR user here, thinking about 16 Pro
Jacob Fatu is that dude 🙏🏾 awesome slow mo clip of him.
Dude is gonna be a major star!
A bigger screen is enough to upgrade
Which iphone would you recommend around 500 pounds? I’m currently using iphone 12 for 4 years. I want to upgrade mainly bc of the storage! It has only 64gb!
Have you tested the wired fast charging support for 45W in the real world? Because all of the RUclipsrs and even the Apple mentioned only the improvement in wireless charging speed and not the wired one😅
Same question
There are accessibility settings for the camera control button. You can adjust its sensitivity
I'm still wondering one thing ...how is the overheating compared to 15 pro/max
it's better b/c the a18 chip sips fuel and is 30% more efficient hence the 4 hours additional battery.
It’s probably better. Apple is supposedly adding an upgraded thermal management system involving a larger graphite sheet to help dissipate heat. We won’t really know until teardowns come out online
Upgrading from iPhone 3gs to 16 pro max
Is there much difference
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I mean ChatGPT integration and MAYBE Genmoji might be the only practical applications of Apple Intelligence, the rest of that stuff just seems like gimmicks that people aren’t going to use. This feels like the era of Samsung where they were throwing out everything but the kitchen sink to see what would stick, which resulted in a phone with a bunch of useless bloat software and sensors
Oh I'm telling you right now, while the writing tools are something I'd never use, the summarization tools are great - and the summarizing of emails in the inbox and notifications are AWESOME. I legitimately save more time in my day because of those two things combined. They're smaller features, but they're so good. And c'mon - Genmoji? I'm gonna be all over that.
Upgrading from iPhone 12pro max to 16pro max
I am going from the iPhone 12 to the 16 Prod
Does the phone supports 45W charging?
Which case and colour do you recommend for desert titanium?
bro your move goal is only 370? cmonnnnnn lol
I wanted a smaller phone so I’m going from the 15 pro max to 16 pro max
Apple majorly dropped the ball by not having the AI features available from rollout, but I doubt that will slow sales. I will prolly being upgrading to a 16 this year and finally saying goodbye to my trusty Samsung . . . though I have been enjoying the benefit of a dedicated camera 'on' button with all of my Android phones, so I am amazed that Apple are so slow to this party.
The sensitivity of the camera control touch is adjustable in settings
How have you been using it for a week? wtf lol
Apple gave me my review units a week ago.
The gaming controller is Razer kishi V2 ultra?
iPhone 12 to 16 Pro or Plus. On my birthday that I’m getting lol.
WAIT I Have A Great Question Regarding Spacial photo Capture Since with the New Vision Update you can turn Old Photos into Spacial photos do you actually need to take them in spacial mode then For instance i just take photos without setting the spacial mode and change it later will the outcome be the same?🤔
Decided to switch to the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Apple to me just got boring.
Batterylife is way better on the iphone 16 lineup! 16 pro max beat s24u with over 2 hours
Tbh the thin bezels don’t really matter once you put a case on it.
cases dont cover the bezels...
where can I find the wallpaper that looks like an old school Nintendo
