As an android fan, I can tell you that even in our side this year's phones are meh... only ones that look cool are the new pixels but that tenser chip is kinda worrisome especially if it is supposed to last 7 years
iPhone 11 pro max user here. I am still completely content with the performance of this device. I thought this year was it, and after the reveal I can rest easy for another year with confidence.
11 is still a good phone, but I'd upgrade for usb-c, brightness, battery and speakers. Aside from the dynamic island, there's really not much else that's noticeably different. I have the 14PM and don't plan on replacing it anytime soon. Unless there's an under-display camera, I'll just replace the battery at 80% and that'll give me another 1-2 years.
@flizzy4645 as it should, the base iphone is already expensive. It sucks to pick the pro when the jump of price is too much just to get 120hz. Atleast let the base get 90hz.
I don't pay much attention to specs with Apple cause they never translate to real world usage ... 60hz is ridiculous though, same with the charging speeds. Every iphone is an S version of the previous year though. There's not much they can improve on, and the overwhelming majority of people don't upgrade every year anymore. Better to compare it to the 14 or even 13.
I get everyone saying don't upgrade. But at the end of the day, we are at a point in technology where each year doesn't seem completely different from the previous. The 16 is just 13 with IMPROVEMENTS/ENHANCEMENTS. The 14 was definitely the 13 with improvements. Besides the one new thing, the Dynamic Island. What I've noticed is that each new iPhone Pro model is just a copy of the previous year with improvements and one or two unique features from last years model. Example Below. XS Max - Starting 11 Pro Max - Ultra Wide Camera 12 Pro Max - New Video Encoding Specs + 5G + slightly bigger screen 13 Pro Max - New Video/Camera Features + Mainly ProMotion and Better Battery 14 Pro Max - New Video/Camera Features + Dynamic Island + Satellite "If u care" 15 Pro Max - Action Button + Titanium Finishes + USB-C 16 Pro Max - New Recording Specs + Camera Button + Slightly bigger screen & "Battery" In all who cares if you upgrade from the last years or not. At the end of the day most people can do the same things on their 6 year old phone as todays current phone. WE ARE ALL BEING PLAYED. Every two years is the fine line in differences but really, they haven't done anything that is just jaw dropping. Like an iPhone that folds, or really that's it. Lol. Oh and they have yet to bring back the Touch ID to the lineup. I thought that camera button was a finger print reader.. LOL. Honestly if it was it would get used more than a capture button when that's already on the screen or can be used by the volume button. I don't know. I'm Conflicted. Enjoy my column.

I’m the same as you. I work on a 3 year cycle and budget for top spec. If you spread it out it means you’re spending £40-55 per month if you buy every 3 years. Apple innovation is so poor incrementally year on year that buying every new model makes no sense. I’m no Apple fanboy but I’m not leaving a comfortable ecosystem for Android. I tried that once and just got frustrated.
@@YasinHasan- I’m considering doing the same, except I’d be going from the 14 Pro to the base model 16 which is essentially the same thing as the base model 15. Do you notice any significant differences in that change from Pro to Regular? Do you think I should stay with the 14 Pro?
Apple is just riding on the idiots who are still fine not being given an option to choose between 120hz or 60hz. It's the idiots who are fine with that who needs to wake up. Apple wouldn't switch the iPhone to usb-c if EU regulations didn't push through.
Lol its the users that need to wake up. Noone forced to buy an iphone lol. They offered 60hz, you decide to buy. If you dont think its worth it, then dont buy lol.
Apple is no longer innovating like it used to, it is slowly falling behind in the technological world, and I say slowly. Other brands have caught up with it and even surpassed it (globally). A quick example is the latest Pixel 9 Pro XL which already comes with all the GEMINI artificial intelligence (and owned by Google itself), and another is the S24 Ultra, etc. This latest iPhone 16 Pro is a disappointment, I really expected more from Apple. Oh, but for charging high prices for little or no innovation, they are the leaders in the world.
May not be upgrade for others that have 15 pro max but for me I have 12 pro max and I am glad I waited I definitely will be upgrading to 16 pro max .. thanks for sharing looks nice and worth the upgrade after 4 years ..
While the iPhone 16 series does seem compelling, I will probably hold on to my 13 Pro Max for another year because I don’t see a huge reason to upgrade.
I agree, the Regular 16 and 16 plus (not pros) received the bigger upgrades esp compared to the last two generations. BUT, those having 60hz for 2024-2025 is a huge crime. When I upgraded to the 14 pro max, I was coming from the regular iPhone 12. And believe me, that 120hz refresh rate makes a huge difference even on what is a relatively small screen compared to my iPad Pro or my gaming laptop. Everything is just that much smoother, scrolling is a breeze, UI animations don’t look laggy/jittery. EDIT: I have to reiterate. I said the REGULAR 16 and 16 Plus, and NOT the Pro and Pro Max. I have to put this in cause apparently some people don’t know how to read even though I already said regular iPhone series.
Can confirm i cannot go back to 60hz ever again. Crapple doing crappy stuff isnt a new thing. Sheeps give em money and make em rich they see no reason to give 120hz to base cause sheeps gonna buy it even if they give 4gb ram in it with 64gb for 1000$ 😂😂
but wait, apple it's sooo smooth that u would notice any difference fanboys will say even though the difference it's from sky visible, heck i even fell the difference from 90 to 120
I'm currently on iPhone 13 Pro Max and is upgrading to the 16 Pro Max. Seriously considered a S24 Galaxy Ultra. Might have been fun, but the Apple echo-system is too valuable to leave, especially as a creative person who does a lot of music ideas on the go with the voice recording app, lyrics writing with the notes app and a lot of other stuff where the ideas transfer SEAMLESSLY from one device to the next. The Apple Intelligence features are interesting, also. Looking forward playing around with it!
I currently have a 12 Pro and just swapped up to the iPhone 16. I'm not going to lie, the pink color was a huge decision factor for me. I have since discovered the pro version is the only one with the zoom, so I hope I don't regret not getting the 16 Pro. I'm guessing the regular 16's zoom is the same as my current 12 Pro. I'm excited either way, but I have a feeling my concert photos will not improve, LOL.
I have an 13 Pro Max and I want to upgrade just because I’m not satisfied with the performance. But I’m having a hard time justifying the 16 Pro Max. I like the idea of the 16 Pro, just don’t know If I’d be loosing anything major. I definitely need some advice.
@@DarZen_noall of them are great phones. No matter what phone you get its going to be good. "Assuming you're upgrading from a phone that's at least 3 years old"
I won't be upgrading this time. My 15 Pro Max doesn't have any heating issues. The year-over-year camera improvements are marginal; you need a 2 or more year gap between iPhone models to enjoy significant camera improvements. The 5x tetraprism lens on the 15PM was a significant upgrade from earlier, and it doesn't seem changed for the 16PM, thought it is fantastic that it's now available on the regular, non-Max size Pro. These are expensive phones, and you really save a lot of money by keeping your phone 2 years compared to upgrading every year. So that's my plan. I'm excited for all of you who will be picking up a 16 or 16 Pro, regular or extra large version.
Every update is software update which iPhone 15 and 14 can also run. And the camera button, it is useful sometimes, but it just looks like an idea comes out when Apple had nothing to update but had to make some changes
Many people talk about thermal solutions on phones as "cooling" but this is incorrect. All these systems do is dissipate heat into the body of the phone so if your phone feels hot to the touch then that means that thermal solution is working as intended. If you want your phone to be cooler while doing the same task then you don't want "cooling" you want a more efficient SOC that can perform the same task with fewer watts.
@@FredFerrari592there literally is no reason yet, you got 120hz, you got magsafe, you got Software Updates iOS 18 for sure. One Thing you could do is a new Battery if its below 80%
I was on the fence about upgrading this year to a 16 pro from my 15 pro. This years version shut that door real quick. I was severely disappointed with the 16 pro series this year. Same screen nits. A very minor camera upgrade. Same amount of ram. This is an S year indeed.
I still have iPhone 13 Pro Max so when this comes out, I’m upgrading then. The white one is gonna be nice. Simple color for a more updated phone. I’m looking forward to it. Plus if the cooling works, my battery life expectancy will stay higher than it is now. 2 more paychecks and this phone is paid off. Now I’m excited. I mainly want the better battery, faster charging, and the cooling system on it
I also have the 13 pro max. I was going to go with the pink plus but seeing the colour for this gen i guess im going with another pro max... the pastels were so cute, no idea why they would go vibrant smh
@@jasminmorley there's absolutely no reason to upgrade from a 13, if you need usb c just go to the 15 pro and save some money, the 16 is kind of embarrassing really.
@@yonkocommander5531 the 15 pro has over-heating problems which a huge issue for day to day usage. That alone makes it worth upgrading to iPhone 16 pro versus the 15 pro. The iPhone 16 pro also has faster charging 40W versus 27W so it's not exactly the same type C. You also get ~10% more battery life. Also a 48MP ultra wide camera vs 12MP is a huge jump. I'm upgrading my iPhone 13 Pro to an iPhone 16 Pro because it's basically free with a trade in. The only thing I have to pay is taxes.
The Tech Guy is the real deal: always tells it like it is and is honest about the products he reviews. A breath of fresh air in a world where so many Tech commentators just go with the narrative.
I have the 8plus I bought at launch, it has been running great with no issues at all. But now the battery is close to dead. I just ordered the base 16 and then we will see how long that lasts 👍🏻
I’ve upgraded to a Pixel Fold 9 512GB obsidian from iPhone 11 Pro Max. Only reason I’m doing it is because Apple stopped the security updates for my phone. At least for me getting a “new” phone will offer a different experience and a dual function from phone to tablet. My wife also got sick and bored of her iPhone 12 Pro Max so I bought a galaxy Z Fold 6 1 TB and she is loving it. Our next phones after these will be only foldable going forward.
Maaan, I'm so on the fence between the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Honor Magic V3. The Honor Magic has the pixel beat from a tech standpoint, but software-wise, it's Pixel all the way. I hope you got an extended warranty for the Z Fold 6. I'll never support another Samsung Fold after my screen stopped folding flat weeks after the year warranty on my Z Fold 4 was up. $750 to "fix," a known issue by Samsung 🙄
@@simplerelaxation9743 I’m getting my pixel 9 fold delivered today and the pixel 3 watch 45 mm tomorrow. My iPhone is 5 years old but it runs great. It’s time for a new device anyway. The foldable phone is the way to go for me. Phone and tablet in one is amazing. My wife is enjoying her Fold 6. It can be used as a regular phone when not folded and a tablet with all the phone functions when folded open.
Top end slab phones today are priced at $2,500 (CAD) + tax + warranty. For about $500 (CAD) more one can have a foldable phone, such as a , Z Fold 6 and Pixel 9 Fold. It’s really not a lot when you’re already spending upwards of $3000+ (CAD). Of course the financial aspect is personal and one should spend responsibly. I pay for everything I own in cash so I’m already living debt and mortgage free. I just refuse to buy another iPhone and really have no change my mobile computing experience; I may as well keep my current phone if that’s the case.
That camera button is the innovation for them. Playing video in slower speed on the gallery is another innovation which can be found in any android flagship which came few years ago.
The big thing for a lot of people (at least the ones I know) between the pro and the regular iPhone is the 5x zoom. Using the phone as your main camera, it would be really nice to have better zoom. I could leave a lot of the other pro features.
When you list out every update to the phones, it's more than I realized. Per usual, no one should be upgrading their phone every year. The regular 16 vs the 15 is a big upgrade: processor jump, action button, camera control, bigger battery, big camera improvements. While I agree that for the price they should have 120hz, only techies care let alone notice for real.
After all these years of being an iPhone user, I'm making the switch to Samsung. I just feel like they've got way more to offer. Different strokes for different folks, I guess
Im predominantly and iphone user, but switched over to Samsung a few times. I think both companies make great phones, but upgrades are iterative and to get that feeling of having a truly new phone phone experience when getting a new phone I feel that only switching to another manufacturer will give you that. Currently have an iPhone 15 pro max and debating whether to wait for the Samsung ultra 25.
@@lukabosnjak3829 lol the s24 ultra is way better then the s21 xD. I had multiple Samsung phones and now the s24 ultra and also owned iPhones. Everything the iphone 15 pro max has to offer, the Samsung s24 ultra also has 😂 but AI was not yet there on the iPhone 15 pro max and the Samsung s24 ultra does have AI features.
I think I’ll hold on to my iPhone 14 for a little while longer. I honestly like the 14 because it still has the lightening cable which is very convenient for me.
i switched from SE_2020 to 14. Oh dear Lord what an awful phone it is. Sluggish, lagging, animations take forever, faceID is slooow sometimes not registering, in dark i have to stare into it for 2 seconds close up. I cannot just check something reaching from the bed i have to point my face into it, battery life is kindof okay when you not doing anything serious, charger not in the box. When you disable animations your controls stop working !!! the same gesture with disabled animation is taking you to multitask screen instead of home screen, if you want to go into home quickly while on the call you have to swipe,, wait .. swipe stare into it for 3 seconds and then get into home screen after some 6 seconds. Damn how is it that people are "just happy" with it. This phone is colossal trash :(
I use an XR and it has basically stopped working at this point, so naturally was looking to upgrade this year. I’ve watched countless videos of people using the phones, as I didn’t know if I wanted to go to the plus sized phone, but none of the videos actually showed them holding/using it naturally. This is by far the best video I have watched on this new phone, so thank you!
@@hasiiii_wije hey! i ended up getting the pro max in natural titanium because I’m going into uni soon, and don’t want to have to upgrade for at least 3-4 years, so the battery was super important. It arrived yesterday and it’s amazing, would so recommend to anyone !
I have the 12 pro max as well but my battery is not doing very well and having issues with touchscreen feedback at times. Wanted to upgrade but the 16 looks underwhelming compared to the past couple years.
12PM user here too. The big reason to upgrade this year is the trade in value. It appears after this year the trade in value for the 12 pro max falls off a cliff. You can get $1000 trade in credit from ATT if that's your carrier.
The base colors this year are amazing. I can't go without telephoto (commonly included in midrange in any line but iOS) but Apple always manages to make me feel like I'm sacrificing something no matter which model I lean toward
I like the upgrades on the models. Not a big enough upgrade for me to switch from my 15 pro max but I love seeing what Apple offers year after year on the phones.
@@paulroscorla1666 Yep, 100%. It's getting more and more harder to sustain however. And of course it makes them look absolutely ridiculous. Wonder which will change first - 8GB on £1,699 MacBook Pros or 60Hz on £799 iPhones?! 😂
I'm now wrestling with the case + capture button. Seems to be two approaches: either a cut out or a replacement capacitive button. If it's a cut out in the case, will it be easy to use when in a case? And if it's an additional button, will that be responsive enough? Messy.
Still got the 12 and it still works perfectly fine once you get to a certain age having the newest thing is just not it anymore only way ill upgrade again is when is phone completely gives up on me .
Hey bro , did you buy apple care plus along with 15pm? Is it possible to get apple care plus because iphone 15 pro max discontinued model now and there is no option showing in apple website to buy apple care plus for iphone 15 pro max.
@@rameeza.s9514 I purchased it the same day I got my phone which was little over a month ago, but I would call Apple because I had the same issue with my AirPods Pro’s and they where able to fix it by phone
@@tomhowells6240 Also a 13 Pro Max user, 3 year in December, 82% battery health. Upgrading to the 16 Pro Max once it gets released prolly in December. (It's a little late for us here on this side of the globe.)
I think thee 24 Ultra is much better phone than iphone 16pro but i am in the apple eco system , macbook , apple watch, airpods pro, even air tags so i got to go with apple. I am rocking 11pro max and honestly i have the money to buy 16pro max in full but i don't really see a compelling reason to do so. I don't take that many pictures with my phone.
Same comments every year “ there is nothing new for me i’ll stick with my 11 Pro “ bla bla bla 😂😂😂😂😂 and still latest iphone will become the highest selling🤣✅
Had upgraded each year up until iPhone 12 Pro Max. Haven’t seen any significant changes in iPhone for me to upgrade, even the 16 iPhone Pro Max does appeal to me. Contemplating waiting for iPhone 17 Pro Max or looking elsewhere (android).
I can understand (and probably agree with most of) the comments. Personally, I've just pre-ordered the Pro 16, coming from the iPhone 11. For me, I'm expecting a massive jump!
I remember not too long ago when a new I phone came out it would put all his competitors at bay. Always something we never seen before features, software something that no one had thought of. Now it's like OK same phone a slight better processor and some gimmicks. I'm sure Steve Jobs is rolling on his grave every time this new phones come up. I miss Steve's creativity and futuristic vision.
I'm laughing really, really loud :))) You can of course use your smartphone without a protective glass :) but I care about my tech and you know what the problem is ?! if you put a protective glass on the S24U, the anti-reflective coating is gone. Of course, you can buy official anti-reflective glass from Samsung, but in the first place it cuts your fingers with sharp edges (Samsung has always not cared about its fans), in the second the sensitivity of the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor deteriorates (not 100%, but it fails from time to time).
@@Thetechchap it is bad, in fact it's awful, the only people who should even consider upgrading are users of iphone 12 or prior and even then, they're probably fine with the 15 pro.
I think I’m gonna go to the standard 16 from my 15 pro, I’ve been having a lot of connectivity issues with it.. and the standard model is very compelling this time around.
I have a 12 pro I’m getting a 16 pro max since I’m getting overheating issues on my current phone. If it wasn’t for that i have been pretty happy with its performance all together
For five years, my iPhone 11 Pro Max has been a reliable device. Most likely purchasing the 16 Pro Max and holding out for the iPhone 20 Pro Max for an additional 4 years.
120 hz is in every mid to low end phones today... Apple treats consumers like idiots! And they love! Btw my old edge 30 ultra is 144 hz and much more fluid.
@androidadvanced5068 yeah..for the amount of money people paying for the phone. Apple should at least gave us 120hz on every model. This is 2024 already. Even small company like infinix have 120hz. Those phone priced only at 229usd
We preordered the regular 16. For us it's a bigger jump, because we're going from a 12 and an XR. USBC will be nice and it's an especially big jump from the XR
Currently having the IP11PM and i am content with it, the only reason that i want to upgrade is for the usb c and the AAA games, might wait till next year or get the new iPad mini whenever that is coming...
I have an 11, and last year I held off because the 15 wasn’t enough to make me jump with the hope that the 16 was going to be the game-changer. Then 16 came and there’s nothing game-changing. But I don’t know if my phone has another year in her. It’s annoying.
iphone 14 pro here since launch and noticed about 2 months ago that my battery has been getting increasingly worse. went down 40 percent the other day in less then an hour with just web browsing at the Dr office. Unfortunate as I have heard this happen a lot in the past but never experienced it myself.
I went from X to 14 pro and I barely noticed any difference, it was like using the same phone with very minor differences. I think it’ll be the same going from 14 pro to 16,17,18 etc, until something very substantial changes
I still have my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I am still in love with its performance and stability. I’d probably upgrade to the 16 Plus cause telephoto isn’t always used on my part.

Faster processor, upgraded cameras and mics, smaller bezels, bigger sizes and batteries, camera button, tougher screen, AI features, better cooling, wifi 7, faster wireless charging, and improved speakers.

EDIT: I have to reiterate. I said the REGULAR 16 and 16 Plus, and NOT the Pro and Pro Max. I have to put this in cause apparently some people don’t know how to read even though I already said regular iPhone series.
Can confirm i cannot go back to 60hz ever again.
Crapple doing crappy stuff isnt a new thing.
Sheeps give em money and make em rich they see no reason to give 120hz to base cause sheeps gonna buy it even if they give 4gb ram in it with 64gb for 1000$ 😂😂
but wait, apple it's sooo smooth that u would notice any difference fanboys will say even though the difference it's from sky visible, heck i even fell the difference from 90 to 120
The Pro has 120Hz. Not sure what you're whinging about

The position of the capture button is kind of awkward when you take vertical photo in your right hand.
maybe there will be lots of unintended button taps while holding the phone in a vertical position too.

I'm currently on iPhone 13 Pro Max and is upgrading to the 16 Pro Max. Seriously considered a S24 Galaxy Ultra. Might have been fun, but the Apple echo-system is too valuable to leave, especially as a creative person who does a lot of music ideas on the go with the voice recording app, lyrics writing with the notes app and a lot of other stuff where the ideas transfer SEAMLESSLY from one device to the next. The Apple Intelligence features are interesting, also. Looking forward playing around with it!
I currently have a 12 Pro and just swapped up to the iPhone 16. I'm not going to lie, the pink color was a huge decision factor for me. I have since discovered the pro version is the only one with the zoom, so I hope I don't regret not getting the 16 Pro. I'm guessing the regular 16's zoom is the same as my current 12 Pro. I'm excited either way, but I have a feeling my concert photos will not improve, LOL.
It may be an incremental upgrade for most, but coming from a 6 yr old XR I'm hoping the 16 Pro will be a significant improvement.
My iPhone 11 Pro Max has served me well for 5 years. Probably gonna by the 16 pro max and wait another 4 years until the iPhone 20 pro max
Me too i have 11 pro max, I think it’s time to say goodbye and hello dessert 16 pro max for me
Can you give me your iPhone 11 Pro Max cos am stacked with 6s 😂
yeah saying goodbye to my iphone 11 pro max as well
base 11 here to 16 Pro Max
Gonna miss my midnight green 😕
Our greatest innovation is Desert gold.
And a button
Going to buy a new case for my 12 pro max and i'm good for another year
I have an 13 Pro Max and I want to upgrade just because I’m not satisfied with the performance. But I’m having a hard time justifying the 16 Pro Max. I like the idea of the 16 Pro, just don’t know If I’d be loosing anything major. I definitely need some advice.
Same as me. Idk what to do. Looking at the pixel 9 pro xl though.
@@DarZen_noall of them are great phones. No matter what phone you get its going to be good. "Assuming you're upgrading from a phone that's at least 3 years old"
I won't be upgrading this time. My 15 Pro Max doesn't have any heating issues. The year-over-year camera improvements are marginal; you need a 2 or more year gap between iPhone models to enjoy significant camera improvements. The 5x tetraprism lens on the 15PM was a significant upgrade from earlier, and it doesn't seem changed for the 16PM, thought it is fantastic that it's now available on the regular, non-Max size Pro. These are expensive phones, and you really save a lot of money by keeping your phone 2 years compared to upgrading every year. So that's my plan.
I'm excited for all of you who will be picking up a 16 or 16 Pro, regular or extra large version.
True
I am planning on jumping up from the regular iPhone 12 to the 16 Pro. That is going to be a BIG upgrade.
Me to but I’ll go pro max
Dumb peoples😒
don't waste your money bro
Me too dessert color pro max
@@richtex89 the pro max is too big imo
Every update is software update which iPhone 15 and 14 can also run. And the camera button, it is useful sometimes, but it just looks like an idea comes out when Apple had nothing to update but had to make some changes
The capture button will be gone within 2 years. Mark my words.
Many people talk about thermal solutions on phones as "cooling" but this is incorrect. All these systems do is dissipate heat into the body of the phone so if your phone feels hot to the touch then that means that thermal solution is working as intended. If you want your phone to be cooler while doing the same task then you don't want "cooling" you want a more efficient SOC that can perform the same task with fewer watts.
Going to be getting myself an iPhone 15 Pro (hoping for a good drop in price) and the new iPad Mini when it's finally released.
Thanks for the update.
It's basically an 'S' year in old world lingo. A refinement on the major upgrade from the previous year.
Yep 100%
Reckon I should wait for the next model then? Currently on the 13 Pro Max
@@FredFerrari592there literally is no reason yet, you got 120hz, you got magsafe, you got Software Updates iOS 18 for sure. One Thing you could do is a new Battery if its below 80%
I was on the fence about upgrading this year to a 16 pro from my 15 pro. This years version shut that door real quick. I was severely disappointed with the 16 pro series this year. Same screen nits. A very minor camera upgrade. Same amount of ram. This is an S year indeed.

@@steffan1804Yeah, the 60hz on the iPhone 16 is much improved compared to the 60hz on the 6s plus.
I still have iPhone 13 Pro Max so when this comes out, I’m upgrading then. The white one is gonna be nice. Simple color for a more updated phone. I’m looking forward to it. Plus if the cooling works, my battery life expectancy will stay higher than it is now. 2 more paychecks and this phone is paid off. Now I’m excited. I mainly want the better battery, faster charging, and the cooling system on it
I also have the 13 pro max. I was going to go with the pink plus but seeing the colour for this gen i guess im going with another pro max... the pastels were so cute, no idea why they would go vibrant smh
@@jasminmorley there's absolutely no reason to upgrade from a 13, if you need usb c just go to the 15 pro and save some money, the 16 is kind of embarrassing really.
@@yonkocommander5531oh so you’re broke
@@yonkocommander5531 the 15 pro has over-heating problems which a huge issue for day to day usage. That alone makes it worth upgrading to iPhone 16 pro versus the 15 pro. The iPhone 16 pro also has faster charging 40W versus 27W so it's not exactly the same type C. You also get ~10% more battery life. Also a 48MP ultra wide camera vs 12MP is a huge jump. I'm upgrading my iPhone 13 Pro to an iPhone 16 Pro because it's basically free with a trade in. The only thing I have to pay is taxes.
Bro don't waste your money...just get a 14 or a 15 you apple sheep 🐑
The Tech Guy is the real deal: always tells it like it is and is honest about the products he reviews. A breath of fresh air in a world where so many Tech commentators just go with the narrative.
I have the 8plus I bought at launch, it has been running great with no issues at all. But now the battery is close to dead. I just ordered the base 16 and then we will see how long that lasts 👍🏻
I’ve upgraded to a Pixel Fold 9 512GB obsidian from iPhone 11 Pro Max. Only reason I’m doing it is because Apple stopped the security updates for my phone. At least for me getting a “new” phone will offer a different experience and a dual function from phone to tablet.
My wife also got sick and bored of her iPhone 12 Pro Max so I bought a galaxy Z Fold 6 1 TB and she is loving it.
Our next phones after these will be only foldable going forward.
Smart people
That's not true at all iPhone 11 will get iOS 18
Maaan, I'm so on the fence between the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Honor Magic V3. The Honor Magic has the pixel beat from a tech standpoint, but software-wise, it's Pixel all the way.
I hope you got an extended warranty for the Z Fold 6. I'll never support another Samsung Fold after my screen stopped folding flat weeks after the year warranty on my Z Fold 4 was up. $750 to "fix," a known issue by Samsung 🙄
@@simplerelaxation9743 I’m getting my pixel 9 fold delivered today and the pixel 3 watch 45 mm tomorrow.
My iPhone is 5 years old but it runs great.
It’s time for a new device anyway. The foldable phone is the way to go for me. Phone and tablet in one is amazing. My wife is enjoying her Fold 6. It can be used as a regular phone when not folded and a tablet with all the phone functions when folded open.
Top end slab phones today are priced at $2,500 (CAD) + tax + warranty. For about $500 (CAD) more one can have a foldable phone, such as a , Z Fold 6 and Pixel 9 Fold. It’s really not a lot when you’re already spending upwards of $3000+ (CAD). Of course the financial aspect is personal and one should spend responsibly.
I pay for everything I own in cash so I’m already living debt and mortgage free. I just refuse to buy another iPhone and really have no change my mobile computing experience; I may as well keep my current phone if that’s the case.
The only real upgrade i see this year is the 4k and 120 frames video recording
Maybe the iPhone 17 will do 8K video like the S24 ultra.
Yeah it's a nice feature to have.
Yeah maybe @@JohnSmith-ef8nr
I was waiting to upgrade to iphone 16, but 60 fps is huge let down. Guess I'll just wait for price drop on 15 pro
That camera button is the innovation for them.
Playing video in slower speed on the gallery is another innovation which can be found in any android flagship which came few years ago.
The big thing for a lot of people (at least the ones I know) between the pro and the regular iPhone is the 5x zoom. Using the phone as your main camera, it would be really nice to have better zoom. I could leave a lot of the other pro features.
My mind is telling me Yes

When you list out every update to the phones, it's more than I realized. Per usual, no one should be upgrading their phone every year. The regular 16 vs the 15 is a big upgrade: processor jump, action button, camera control, bigger battery, big camera improvements. While I agree that for the price they should have 120hz, only techies care let alone notice for real.
After all these years of being an iPhone user, I'm making the switch to Samsung. I just feel like they've got way more to offer. Different strokes for different folks, I guess
Can you elaborate what Samsung has more and which model ? Genuinely asking cause I'm still using iphone 7 plus 🤣🤣 As in all the detailsssss 😚
Interestingly I just switched from s21 ultra to 15 pro max this year since samsung didn't have anything to offer...
I'm switching from IPhone to a foldable next
Im predominantly and iphone user, but switched over to Samsung a few times. I think both companies make great phones, but upgrades are iterative and to get that feeling of having a truly new phone phone experience when getting a new phone I feel that only switching to another manufacturer will give you that. Currently have an iPhone 15 pro max and debating whether to wait for the Samsung ultra 25.
@@lukabosnjak3829 lol the s24 ultra is way better then the s21 xD. I had multiple Samsung phones and now the s24 ultra and also owned iPhones. Everything the iphone 15 pro max has to offer, the Samsung s24 ultra also has 😂 but AI was not yet there on the iPhone 15 pro max and the Samsung s24 ultra does have AI features.
I think I’ll hold on to my iPhone 14 for a little while longer. I honestly like the 14 because it still has the lightening cable which is very convenient for me.
Yep same for me
i switched from SE_2020 to 14. Oh dear Lord what an awful phone it is. Sluggish, lagging, animations take forever, faceID is slooow sometimes not registering, in dark i have to stare into it for 2 seconds close up. I cannot just check something reaching from the bed i have to point my face into it, battery life is kindof okay when you not doing anything serious, charger not in the box. When you disable animations your controls stop working !!! the same gesture with disabled animation is taking you to multitask screen instead of home screen, if you want to go into home quickly while on the call you have to swipe,, wait .. swipe stare into it for 3 seconds and then get into home screen after some 6 seconds. Damn how is it that people are "just happy" with it. This phone is colossal trash :(
Man those bezels look stunning
Real
did they fix the heating issue???
I use an XR and it has basically stopped working at this point, so naturally was looking to upgrade this year. I’ve watched countless videos of people using the phones, as I didn’t know if I wanted to go to the plus sized phone, but none of the videos actually showed them holding/using it naturally. This is by far the best video I have watched on this new phone, so thank you!
what do you think..which one are you going to buy
@@hasiiii_wije hey! i ended up getting the pro max in natural titanium because I’m going into uni soon, and don’t want to have to upgrade for at least 3-4 years, so the battery was super important. It arrived yesterday and it’s amazing, would so recommend to anyone !
iPhone 12 Pro Max user here, completely satisfied with mine I will probably wait a year for the 17.. don’t see much of a reason to upgrade yet
Same here, I have the 12 Pro.
I have the 12 pro max as well but my battery is not doing very well and having issues with touchscreen feedback at times.
Wanted to upgrade but the 16 looks underwhelming compared to the past couple years.
12PM user here too. The big reason to upgrade this year is the trade in value. It appears after this year the trade in value for the 12 pro max falls off a cliff. You can get $1000 trade in credit from ATT if that's your carrier.

The base colors this year are amazing. I can't go without telephoto (commonly included in midrange in any line but iOS) but Apple always manages to make me feel like I'm sacrificing something no matter which model I lean toward
I like the upgrades on the models. Not a big enough upgrade for me to switch from my 15 pro max but I love seeing what Apple offers year after year on the phones.
The main reason I get the Pro is the Pro Motion refresh rate. When they finally make this long overdue upgrade to the normal iPhone, I’ll switch.
Apple know that, which is why they are keeping the 60Hz refresh on the standard iPhone year after year after year after year......
@@paulroscorla1666 Yep, 100%. It's getting more and more harder to sustain however. And of course it makes them look absolutely ridiculous. Wonder which will change first - 8GB on £1,699 MacBook Pros or 60Hz on £799 iPhones?! 😂
i wish the price was not so high bro
iphone 14 pros should be around $500 now
Maybe an unpopular take, but I think it's totally deserving. Already on the hunt for a case
Same here, I don’t get why there’s so much hate. I’ve already ordered a few cases from Burga.
Yesss!!! I'm deffo ordering the Pro Max
I'm now wrestling with the case + capture button. Seems to be two approaches: either a cut out or a replacement capacitive button.
If it's a cut out in the case, will it be easy to use when in a case? And if it's an additional button, will that be responsive enough?
Messy.
Oh no... Nothing fresh. I'm sold-wait, there's a button no one asked for.
Still got the 12 and it still works perfectly fine once you get to a certain age having the newest thing is just not it anymore only way ill upgrade again is when is phone completely gives up on me .

No anti reflective display like on the s24 ultra not even on the pros is a big downside imo
I'm laughing really, really loud :))) You can of course use your smartphone without a protective glass :) but I care about my tech and you know what the problem is ?! if you put a protective glass on the S24U, the anti-reflective coating is gone.
Of course, you can buy official anti-reflective glass from Samsung, but in the first place it cuts your fingers with sharp edges (Samsung has always not cared about its fans), in the second the sensitivity of the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor deteriorates (not 100%, but it fails from time to time).

The iPhone 16 is basically the iPhone 15 with some missing features and one useless camera shortcut.

Unfortunate as I have heard this happen a lot in the past but never experienced it myself.
I went from X to 14 pro and I barely noticed any difference, it was like using the same phone with very minor differences. I think it’ll be the same going from 14 pro to 16,17,18 etc, until something very substantial changes
I still have my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I am still in love with its performance and stability. I’d probably upgrade to the 16 Plus cause telephoto isn’t always used on my part.
