Sheesh I got my iPhone 7 in 2017 and switched to the iPhone XS Max in 2019. After that I switched to iPhone 13 Pro Max in 2022 and last year in 2023 I got the iPhone 15 Pro Max. That’s my current iPhone right now. Hopefully the iPhone 17 looks much better
I upgrade my flagship iPhone every year and sell my old one, it usually ends up costing me $300 - 400 a year to upgrade which isn't much more expensive than upgrading every 3 - 5 years.
@@marfg12345 nice, glad that’s worked out for you. Personally I’m happy holding onto my phones as long as they’re serviceable. Makes the upgrade that much substantial and worth it to me. I got just under 4 good years with the 12 Pro Max, I think I can go 6 years with this new 16PM
I’m leaning toward the 16 plus this time around. I’m a bit burn out from the pro models and after using them for a few years I honestly don’t think they’re totally worth the price difference from base iPhones in my opinion.
I've had the 11PM, 12PM, 13PM, 14Pm and 15PM. Went with the 16 Plus this year as the increase in the weight of the 16PM was a deal breaker, burned out on heavy phones. I never use AOD and I've gotten used to the 60Hz, although I think it should be at least 90hz.
💯 I did the same exact thing… ended up sticking with the 16 Plus after trying the 16 Pro and Pro Max for a month. The weight of the Pro Max was just pushing the boundaries too much. I hope Apple releases the rumored “iPhone Air 17”
I think the 16 plus is actually a great phone the cameras are almost the same and unless you’re doing something with the cameras where you need that extra zoom probably not needed it’s a great camera. I wanted to upgrade to the 16 pro max but in my city have to order no stores not even Apple has them. But now after seeing this maybe I will downsize a bit and spend less. People it’s about how much you have left and that third camera becomes expensive and well the novelty wears off in about a week but the expensive bill stays for 24 months lol just saying
Thank you very much for your video. It was very informative. I went from 7+ to a 16 plus. Hold onto my 7+ for way too long and I’m very happy to make the change. Your video was fantastic and very helpful. Thank you so much.
Great video! I wish I saw this before purchasing my iPhone 16 plus, although it seems I made the right choice! 👌🏻 Mine is black, not a huge fan of colorful phones, but these new colors are nice.
Still sticking with my iPhone 15 Pro Max Blue Titanium, still a beautiful, smooth phone that I love. My first iPhone after leaving Samsung ever since my very first smartphone and so far I have not looked back since! Heat is an issue and I AM envious of iPhone 16 Pro Max users for that but not a good enough reason to fork out the cash.
why is the aperture lower on the 16 plus? isnt lower aperture supposed to produce better photos by letting in more light? im confused as to why the 16pm has a higher aperture. noticed this from the 13pm to the 14pm too
Thanks for the video Aaron , I am sensitive to PWM and Regarding PWM they both have 480hz frequency and I am able to use 16 plus at 90% brightness with no issues at all while 16 Pro Max gives me intense headache and eye strain because the modulation is pretty high as compared to 16 Plus , so 240 slow mo video isnt of much help rather having 1/8000 shutter video would give us a better idea of the PWM , but i appreciate you covering this issue since it is a problem and companies dont seem to address it.
I had the same experience with the 16 Pro Max. Something about Apple's ProMotion displays just don't get along with me. It's been like that ever since they introduced them. I tested the new iPads with the OLED screens and they give me the same issues. But the 60Hz panels don't seem to bother me for whatever reason. At least not on my 13 Mini.
Hands Down this the best comparison video I’ve seen since the release of the 16s and might be the greatest of all times in every category …. If there was an award for this you won 1st place
I did the exact same thing. 14 Plus to 16 Plus. It’s more comfortable to hold, amazing battery life, and I thought I was gonna hate the Dynamic Island but it’s not as annoying as I thought it would be.
@@aydemirilker4128 Great! I did not intend to upgrade this year actually but seeing the Ultramarine color (coming from Midnight/Black) and the camera redesign seemed like a fresh phone for me and since it’ll support Apple Intelligence I think it’s a good upgrade for the next few years / future proof so to say. Excited to experience Dynamic Island too.
Just getting to watch this. Great job! I just upgraded from the 13 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max. I wanted camera and battery performance. Unless the 17 has something magnificent, I think this phone should hold me over for a while. Thanks for your work on these videos. They are very useful and informative.
Came to say the same thing. Could be because of the speakers on the phone i watched this vid on, but the 16 plus microphone sounded way brighter and clearer.
Best video covering in depth comparison of two leading models. Right in time as I was a bit lost on what to buy. This video helped me select the right one for me!. Thank you
I really wish these companies would stop putting glass on the back of the phones. They are going to be in a protective case anyway, and people need less chances of dealing with broken glass in the event the phone did get damaged (especially for unnecessary glass). Having to deal with this from the iphone 13. Took the case off to have a ton of sharp glass shards fall out. Apparently the back shattered inside the case.
can you help me please with a decision if i should switch to 16+ from 14 pro max? I do a couple of photo of my kids, browsing,social media,most important for me it's battery, i don't do gaming
They also have the magnetic MagSafe batteries now that just magnet on the back of the phone and give you a full charge again on your phone wirelessly if you really need it 🙂
I purchased the 16 Pro Max and it’s a BEAST. But the camera button is just awful. Awful awful. A simply unnecessary button. I also seem to press it a lot due to the way I hold my device and it then interrupts a lot of my workflows. Ultimately it’s still a mega device but would have been extraordinary without the camera button.
18:37 Yup, Apple intelligence is absolutely amazing, I actually used it to generate this summary on my iPhone 16 pro: The iPhone 16 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro Max share many similarities, including design and camera features. However, the Pro Max has a larger display, longer battery life, and faster exporting speeds. The Pro Max also has a titanium frame and supports USB 3.0, while the Plus has an aluminum frame and USB 2.0. The iPhone 16 Pro Max offers a superior display with 120Hz refresh rate and better thermal management, while the iPhone 16 Plus has a more affordable price and a slightly thinner design. Both phones have similar cameras, but the Pro Max has a telephoto lens and ProRaw support. The choice between the two depends on individual preferences and budget considerations.
I’m very disappointed with the 16 Pro Max’s camera, coming from a 12 PM the camera felt much better, no over sharpening or crazy processing. I’ve tried Photographic Styles but doesn’t seem to do the trick!
@@brandonsmith6962 There’s no reason for us to have to tweak everything for it to work. That’s the purpose of iPhone, to just work, I didn’t have this problem with my 12 Pro Max. They keep adding more “features” and it just renders the camera useless for an average Joe.
@@brandonsmith6962 The point of iPhones is that they just “work”. We don’t have to be tweaking our settings and styles just to get a normal shot like past iPhones did. I didn’t have this experience with my 12 Pro Max or my 11.
Yes I’m coming from 14 pro max to 16 plus all iPhones I got with the Pro Max and this is refreshing light and they all do the same shit let’s be fareal
I have the 12 pro max and I been waiting to change it but since it still work good I haven’t. Now I was thinking of getting the 16 pro max but I like the 16 plus this year so I’m undecided. Your video was great I really needed to see if I really needed that pro max or if I can change it up this time around. For some reason I saw picture quality better on the 16 plus I can be wrong but it seemed like that. Thank you 🙏
The battery life alone has convinced me to go pro max! I have had the 16 Pro max for a little while now and the battery life is amazing. Coming from a 12 Pro max this has been a lovely upgrade!
I think this is probably the first time where the 16+ and the 16 pro Max are very close with the main difference of being the 15+ only has two cameras and the 16 pro Max has free with an extra 48MP ultra wide camera as well significantly better battery life on the pro max as well 120 promotion, which is probably the biggest differentiation to me.
Great video… kind of bumbed the wide camera lens is downgraded on the 16 Plus (48Mp to 12MP). I tried the IPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max for about a month. I prefer the feel and weight of the Plus better than the Pro Max in the hand. I ended up opting for the iPhone 16 Plus. Price was not a factor for me. The 6.3” screen was too small for me on the 16Pro. 6.5 to 6.7” seems to be the sweet spot for me on phone screens. I am hoping Apple releases a more compact and light weight form factor in the future with all these rumors of the iPhone 17 Air🤞
currently still on 13PM sierra blue and ive been contemplating which to get between base 16 plus and 16PM. battery life is huge to me but idk if like… a few more hours of battery life is worth an extra $200 (no matter which phone i get i’d be getting 512G capacity). and honestly… the colors on the pro series are killing me. i dont understand why they have to be so boring? the one pop of color we had in the last few years are gone. they could easily add fun colors and get a whole bunch more people spending the extra money just bc of fun colors
The fast charging gives you sustained 29 watts, and when you are drawingwill go above that. You can use a wattage meter to see it. When playing a game, it will go up to 45, more power, it and when you terminate the task, it goes back to 29. So it just maintains the charging and the draw your using at the same time. For now it doesn't seem to go past it when idle
Coming from 14 pm to 16pm. Whats the best way to transfer all my chargers / cables / powerbanks over from lightning to usb c. Already have a magsafe dock wireless charger.
I'm still on the fence... I have the 14 Pro Max and I didn't feel the need to upgrade last year but am considering upgrading to the 16. I just don't know which to go for. I will be trading it in so I'll get $500 credit. I am trying to keep cost down so I don't want to go with another Pro Max but might do the pro (a little smaller that what I have) or go the Plus route. I do loose the "always on" and the larger bezels and of course the 60 Hz Refresh, Decisions, Decisions.... Camera isn't a big deal nor is memory, I probably can get away with 128 as I'm just barely at 60 Gb after 2 years.
Why does the plus seem to have better pictures and the pro? And video recording even just zooming in on objects. And the pro max just battery powered??? 😕
Went with the 16 Pro Max because I never had a Pro Model phone before. Plus I love the size, battery life and the most important the 120Hz display. Coming from a 15 Pro so the camera is almost the same. But this 16 Pro Max is a major go from me.
I just returned from my local Apple Store and had to make “kind” of a tough decision, but I’m so glad I chose wisely. That Ultramarine Blue 16 Plus had mesmerized me, I almost traded in my 15 PM for a 16 Plus. I’m glad I didn’t, the 16 PM is a tough, tank of a device. It is a precision instrument. Yes it’s heavy…. Yes it’s big… but I really feel like I get my moneys worth out of it though.
The battery life on the 16 Pro Max is so much better than the 15 Pro Max and I don't see that the weight is that much different. I really love my 16 Pro Max.
Ultramarine - nervous about this for my daughter but the colour definitley pops in real life (maybe there's a metalic dull sparkle added!? ), the box image doesnt truly represent the eye pleasing colour either! Dark tropical sea blue ish colour, a hint of purple with a shine/glow - hope it helps if you were considering it
Hi Aaron, should I trade in from regular 14 Pro with 87% bh from February 2023 to 16 Pro Max or wait for the 17 Pro Max? And if the 16, should I go for the 16 Pro or 16 Pro Max? I have large hands and want better battery life but the 12pm was too big for me for 1.5 years of use, but the 14 pro has much worse battery life and it's heavier for some reason but is more compact and convenient, but the keyboard size on the pro max is more convenient for me.
@@zollotech Thank you Aaron! But I’m still unsure about the upgrade choice. If you had a 14 Pro as your daily driver, would you upgrade now or wait another year and then upgrade to the 17 pros?
I’ve just done this upgrade and got the 16PM. To me it’s a decent but not significant upgrade. Best difference I’ve noticed is the far superior battery life
@@Michael-yz8gbNice! Is the 16pm too big compared to the 14p? For example my 12pm was too big at 6.7 compared to my 6.1 14 pro but the battery life is much worse on my 14 pro though.
@@satxrnhimself I mean if you found the 12PM too bring this will be too big too. That being said the battery is insane and the way I see it will give me more longevity with the phone
so glad that i came across this because i have an iphone 12 pro and its soo old lol I am trying to decide what to get!! The 16 pro max is definitely what i had in mind but still not sure lol
Why are you the only RUclipsr that said the iPhone 16 pro max has the better battery than the iPhone 16 plus? Everyone else said the plus has a better longer lasting battery…
Going from the iPhone 7 to the 16 plus can’t wait for it to be delivered 🔥🔥🔥

what about 120fps?
Samee

Next year will get a big update to the base models
the heaviness is what turned me off of pro models, can barely put it in my pocket let alone use

I think I’ll go with the plus thank you for helping me
The fast charging gives you sustained 29 watts, and when you are drawingwill go above that. You can use a wattage meter to see it. When playing a game, it will go up to 45, more power, it and when you terminate the task, it goes back to 29. So it just maintains the charging and the draw your using at the same time. For now it doesn't seem to go past it when idle
How to get this wallpaper on iphone 16 plus
Coming from 14 pm to 16pm. Whats the best way to transfer all my chargers / cables / powerbanks over from lightning to usb c. Already have a magsafe dock wireless charger.
Should I get the white or ultramarine 16 plus?
Ultramarine hands down
If you are a lady.
@@CJINW Are you saying both of them are girl colour's and how?
@@zollotech I'm probably getting white it looks clean as
@ I like the white, however ALL the “colors” for the 16 are extremely feminine.
I'm still on the fence... I have the 14 Pro Max and I didn't feel the need to upgrade last year but am considering upgrading to the 16. I just don't know which to go for. I will be trading it in so I'll get $500 credit. I am trying to keep cost down so I don't want to go with another Pro Max but might do the pro (a little smaller that what I have) or go the Plus route. I do loose the "always on" and the larger bezels and of course the 60 Hz Refresh, Decisions, Decisions.... Camera isn't a big deal nor is memory, I probably can get away with 128 as I'm just barely at 60 Gb after 2 years.
Why does the plus seem to have better pictures and the pro? And video recording even just zooming in on objects. And the pro max just battery powered??? 😕
Got your notification aaron
Went with the 16 Pro Max because I never had a Pro Model phone before. Plus I love the size, battery life and the most important the 120Hz display. Coming from a 15 Pro so the camera is almost the same. But this 16 Pro Max is a major go from me.
So the 16 pro max doesn’t have pro motion or does it??
I did upgrade for a 14 pro max and I got the desert titanium
I just returned from my local Apple Store and had to make “kind” of a tough decision, but I’m so glad I chose wisely. That Ultramarine Blue 16 Plus had mesmerized me, I almost traded in my 15 PM for a 16 Plus. I’m glad I didn’t, the 16 PM is a tough, tank of a device. It is a precision instrument. Yes it’s heavy…. Yes it’s big… but I really feel like I get my moneys worth out of it though.
The battery life on the 16 Pro Max is so much better than the 15 Pro Max and I don't see that the weight is that much different. I really love my 16 Pro Max.
went from 15pm to a 16 plus, icl the pro max was just far too heavy and bulky for me (kept dropping it lol)
but on which phones do you think battery is better? 15 PM or 16 plus?
Ultramarine - nervous about this for my daughter but the colour definitley pops in real life (maybe there's a metalic dull sparkle added!? ), the box image doesnt truly represent the eye pleasing colour either! Dark tropical sea blue ish colour, a hint of purple with a shine/glow - hope it helps if you were considering it
Hi Aaron, should I trade in from regular 14 Pro with 87% bh from February 2023 to 16 Pro Max or wait for the 17 Pro Max? And if the 16, should I go for the 16 Pro or 16 Pro Max? I have large hands and want better battery life but the 12pm was too big for me for 1.5 years of use, but the 14 pro has much worse battery life and it's heavier for some reason but is more compact and convenient, but the keyboard size on the pro max is more convenient for me.
Up to you. iPhone 17 is said to be a more significant design change, but coming from iPhone 14 you would gain quite a lot.
@@zollotech Thank you Aaron! But I’m still unsure about the upgrade choice. If you had a 14 Pro as your daily driver, would you upgrade now or wait another year and then upgrade to the 17 pros?
I’ve just done this upgrade and got the 16PM. To me it’s a decent but not significant upgrade. Best difference I’ve noticed is the far superior battery life
@@Michael-yz8gbNice! Is the 16pm too big compared to the 14p? For example my 12pm was too big at 6.7 compared to my 6.1 14 pro but the battery life is much worse on my 14 pro though.
@@satxrnhimself I mean if you found the 12PM too bring this will be too big too. That being said the battery is insane and the way I see it will give me more longevity with the phone
Did 14 pro max to 16 plus honestly this year at least I don’t see a difference other than the cameras
The only major difference: $300, otherwise basically the same
I am getting the 16 pro max, upgrading from an 11 pro max- just wish there were more bright color options in the pro max
so glad that i came across this because i have an iphone 12 pro and its soo old lol I am trying to decide what to get!! The 16 pro max is definitely what i had in mind but still not sure lol
Why are you the only RUclipsr that said the iPhone 16 pro max has the better battery than the iPhone 16 plus? Everyone else said the plus has a better longer lasting battery…
I have 16 plus 512 GB and satisfied 😊
