And taking a picture button especially taking selfies with rear cameras has never been so easy. & a smartphone camera is best for selfies even compared to actual mirrorless cameras.
The new indigo on the regular iPhone 16 looks great, same with teal. I think the next pro color should be a dark red or burgundy considering w have yet to see that on the pro models.
Don’t get the fascination with colors? Colors don’t increase or decrease the usability, they don’t make a device worth more or less, they are usually covered by a case anyways? Just don’t get it.
Battery life was awesome because I upgraded from the 12 mini and was at 96 percent and watched 3 hours of NFL RedZone and NASCAR and was at 52 percent at 5:30 because I had no WiFi due to my area being affected by hurricane Helene and it was so much fun and no complaints at all.
It’s been a great upgrade since my IPhone 13 Pro Max. Enjoying the screen, action button, Dynamic Island, camera button, and the AI features that are being released.
I think a telltale sign that the capture button wasn’t going to be great was the fact that they added it to the regular models. There’s just no way Apple would give a genuinely good feature to the normal phones at the same time as the pros, unless it was a bit unfinished and they needed more user input to see how to change/make it better. Wouldn’t be surprised if next year they fix every issue with the capture button but only apply those changes to the Pro models as a “Pro” feature.
I turned off my Camera Control, because it unfortunately becomes an obstacle when trying to hold my phone certain ways and accidentally pressing it too hard. I have too many photos already of my car’s windshield because of the phone mount in my car grabbing onto the button. I had to buy a magsafe accesory for my car which I’ve never really needed lol.
I’m left handed and set it to double click in the settings and haven’t had an issue since, also really like the one handed use I can use with the camera control button.

Why has nobody made a video about the battery drain issues yet? Heaps of people, me included, are reporting terrible battery life with the 16 pro. (3-5hrs SOT)
I believe I do and I have a 16 pro max, main reason I upgraded was for battery life and it feels a little better than my 75% battery iPhone 13 Pro Max, sucks cause I should’ve waited for 17 when all the Apple intelligence will be fully released, around next year when the 17 launches…
3:46 my thoughts are the Camera Control (not a button😅) should be about 2x longer toward bottom of device and allow user to setup software shortcuts how button works with what functions
I was at the Apple Store buying new chargers since I am coming from a 14 pro max to a 16 pro max. I was told I can swipe left and the camera opens. What’s the point of an extra camera button? 😂
If you’re like me and like to take tons of photos and videos and record lots of audio, the couple hundred bucks up front to double your storage is well worth it. I have an 11 Pro with 256 GB, and only in the past few months have I been finding the storage to reach its limits and slow the overall experience down. I also use iCloud Photos because I have over 70,000 photos and videos from the past decade. I always lean into a little bit of future proofing for peace of mind.
I currently have an IPhone 13 Pro Max and I just recently bought the Apple Watch Ultra 2. I travel a lot and have always used my phone as my dedicated travel camera, in your opinion do you think it is worth upgrading to the 16 Pro Max?
if you record any video, it is nice to have more options there - but I can't say either way, it's really a personal choice. If you're happy with your setup, no need to change anything but if you're looking for something newer with more features, it may be worth trying. You do have a couple weeks return window if you decide it's not for you.
If you feel like 12Mp photos isn't high enough resolution. I would say it's worth the upgrade. If that's something you haven't even thought about, then the upgrade is probably not worth it. In my opinion, that's the main thing that actually makes a difference in daily life. Because, on your 13 Pro Max, you still have great battery life. Great performance. A very good screen. The ability to take ProRAW photos. And great camera sensors, with the main "downside" being that they're all limited to 12Mp (although there are some positives to that even).
@@KyleErickson I do shoot some video as well, that is a good point, I could try one for a week or so and make a better decision that way actually having some hands on to see if it’s worth the upgrade or not. Thank you for the quick reply, I appreciate it!! 👍🇨🇦
@@Dr904 I would eventually like to start editing some of my travel photos and either uploading them to social media or eventually down the road, edit my videos and photos into some RUclips clips that I might share with the world, so having said that maybe increasing the megapixels might not be a bad idea, will give it some more thought and I may purchase the 16 and try for a week or two and see if it is worthwhile for me and then have the option to return it. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and ideas with me, appreciate it !!! Take care 👍🇨🇦
Keep your iPhone. You don't need a new one. First, explore all the features to the maximum and then upgrade if you have technical issues with your device or if you are really limited. There are so many things to do with your 13 Pro Max before upgrading.
On a 11 right now and tempted to upgrade but the 16 Pro doesn't really wow me. I know the upgradde will be noticeable from a 11 to 16 but wouldn't upgrading to a 15 just be the same thing?
The 16 Pro ultrawide camera still bins to 12 megapixels? I thought it would be 24 megapixels like the main camera, now that its sensor is also 48 megapixels.
im looking at getting the iphone 16 pro max to replace my 13 pro max .... i have 1tb in the 13 pro max and looking at getting the 1TB in the 16 pro max
Uh this po man thought about financing again for an upgrade . I don’t agree with vids that say Apple sucks now and I am with them but I think I will pass on upgrade
Had the 16p for a week and returned it so I can keep using my 13p. Very little major changes tbh. Only good upgrades were usb.c and slightly biggee screen.
Hows the 11 pro max holding up for you? I’m still on a XS Max that I bought used a few years ago and the only thing pushing me to upgrade is the storage as its only 64 gb lol and I keep having to delete stuff, considering buying a used 12-15 pro max or just going for the 16 pro
I’m using an 11 Pro with 256 GB of storage that I bought in late summer 2020. It’s just started to really fill up this summer, which has made the experience a bit more jagged feeling. I also had the battery replaced in April after its capacity reached like 78%, but the replacement sadly doesn’t feel as good as the original battery did-I’m guessing this has more to do with how iOS 18 runs on this phone compared to iOS 14, more than the battery quality going down. The 16 and 16 Pro sound appealing, but not enough so to prioritize plopping down a grand on one of them anytime soon. I’d rather prioritize a 16” MacBook Pro with a ton of RAM and a couple TB of storage.
I upgraded from my 14 pro max. -Bigger screen -Better battery -Better camera -The thin bezel makes the phone look super nice. -Lighter then my old 14 pro max -Camera button -Action button -USB-C -Better CPU and GPU I mean if you don’t wanna update then it’s cuz you think the 17 pro will be so much better and we all know it won’t and people will still want to wait out for idk what.
Let’s face it both Samsung and apple are struggling to make huge changes there’s only so much a phone can do, there’s only one thing I think apple are working on for perhaps the iPhone 18-20 and that’s a fold and flip, they won’t release one until they have it absolutely spot on with no potential fails, personally i thought they would of implemented the nano textured display or something similar by now but as for the arms race on who can produce the best phones possible I think it’s drying up, I’m a total iPhone fanboy only reason I wouldn’t have a Samsung or android alone is because they have so many models and mass produced them to the point it’s like coffee who wants a mass produced blend rather than a limited release,apple only keep iPhones like the pro models on sale for a year then discontinue whereas Samsung let’s face it you can still get brand new sealed S21 ultra which makes me think they have produced way to many and struggle to sell them even on sale
The camera button for me just acts as a quick camera open button nothing less nothing more...
And taking a picture button especially taking selfies with rear cameras has never been so easy. & a smartphone camera is best for selfies even compared to actual mirrorless cameras.
Yeah the placement is off making it very difficult to use as intended.
Cool.
As a lefthanded person it has never been easier to take a selfie with the new button XD.
ill honestly just use it for opening instagram 😂
Great overview of the new features. Still super happy with my 15 Pro Max. No need to update here 😊
fr i own it too black 15 pro max they are so so good bro fr ima upg to like 17-18 at this point
@@OfficialVoidhill I have the iPhone 15 Pro max as well I skip the upgrade this year too
@@Autoworld_motors yea maybe in the next 2-3 years
Please retain the device until the release of the iPhone 18. Practical considerations should always take precedence.
@@Uncle_Drew0227 yeah true ima wait
You need to make a re review as 18.0.1 is out
And A18 pro is touching 9000s levels in multi core performance on Geekbench
Really wow I thought there was going to be an upgrade but not that big thats pretty good for performance
Thanks for the update. I was interested in your experience even though my 14 still does the job for me.
Thanks for watching!
Iphone video rec is just nuts
4k 120 fps Prores log with HDR dv beast without loosing quality and no heating issues
If a desert titanium iphone 16 pro turned into a human, it would probably look like the guy in this picture 9:59
I need the blue color back. I’m still rocking the iPhone 15 Pro Max in that beautiful blue titanium color. The pro colors on the 16 are really bland.
The new indigo on the regular iPhone 16 looks great, same with teal. I think the next pro color should be a dark red or burgundy considering w have yet to see that on the pro models.
Don’t get the fascination with colors? Colors don’t increase or decrease the usability, they don’t make a device worth more or less, they are usually covered by a case anyways? Just don’t get it.
@@robhughes8516 could make the same argument for literally anything else. It’s just a way for people to express themselves.
@@robhughes8516it adds value by being something pleasing to the eye of the owner.

Much love from Nigeria 🇳🇬, quality video as usual. Keep it up 👍🏾
Thank you!
I like the 3x over the 5x but my question is…. The battery life is that worth the upgrade 😅 or should we just bring a power bank 😮
Buy it and bring a power bank anyways… it never hurts to have.
@@robhughes8516 u right
Have you ever thought about shooting in a wider aspect ratio for a more cinematic look ?

I have a 16 and battery drains very quickly and I am a careful user not watching films,videos or playing games on it.
You expect paid RUclipsrs to speak about negatives? They would sell their soul just to get an iPhone.

Just curious, at 8:41 I think that was a Log > rec2020, that doesn’t really look like 709.
It's Rec709.
I ❤ the new iPhone 16 PM black color
I was at the Apple Store buying new chargers since I am coming from a 14 pro max to a 16 pro max. I was told I can swipe left and the camera opens. What’s the point of an extra camera button? 😂
I prefer the 15 pro wallpaper. Put them on ur latest videos pls. Tq.
Very true why change the camera button ? .. looks silly .. although they say camera getting better .. sharpness is very important for photo
Can I livestream or watch livestreams without the phone getting extremely hot and slow. Currently using an iPhone 14.
i got the 16 pro natural titanium in 1tb. i did an unboxing and first impression on my channel. i love this phone!
Should I go for the 128 GB or the 256 GB?

I wish to have new phone rightnow 😢 still stuck with iphone se 2 😢😢😢 and it getting slow now
Is the screen size big enough to be enjoyable when watching something while on the treadmill? I'm torn between this and the 15 Pro Max (savings.)
The screen difference is barely noticeable
Can you link me a good ssd to back up my photos please
I might sway 16 pro over 15 pro 😮 is the battery life that much better 😅
Tell me more about these earbuds?
11:43 what game is that
Horizon Chase 2
Great comparison !
The 16 Pro ultrawide camera still bins to 12 megapixels? I thought it would be 24 megapixels like the main camera, now that its sensor is also 48 megapixels.
I guess at this point 512gb is the only way to go
im looking at getting the iphone 16 pro max to replace my 13 pro max .... i have 1tb in the 13 pro max and looking at getting the 1TB in the 16 pro max
Is this heavy phone actually comfortable to use? Or is this just a ego thing ?
Should I get 16 pro instead of 16 plus If I care about battery life and size?
plus has better battery
maybe if you prefer a bit more battery life and a slightly bigger phone instead of 120Hz and a 5x camera… I prefer my 16 pro with 256gb
Loved the video bro.
Appreciate you!
It has been 13 years since i know about the iPhone but havent been able to afford brand new one.. thats ok
Uh this po man thought about financing again for an upgrade . I don’t agree with vids that say Apple sucks now and I am with them but I think I will pass on upgrade

-Better CPU and GPU
