Long story short: Upgrade after at least 3 years and not earlier to see an improvement. I was going to keep my 14Pro another year before seeing this video and now I am 100% sure this is the right call.
Indeed , 14 series is still quite good , even my old 12 pro max while a step down in some areas like screen brightness and camera , for daily duties , it can still get the job done just fine .
I have 13 pro Max keeping it I like the shine of stainless steel better than titanium, I will only upgrade when the punchole is introduced into the iPhone I can no longer do too much screen intrusions.
@@finforcerI find the stainless steel looks good for some, but to me the titanium is better in the hands and makes it feel more like a phone and not like a box.
Yep, not much improvements in phones these days. If you have a top end phone wait at least three years and if your battery has degraded just get it replaced. I replaced my iPhone 13 pro battery a year ago and now am going to upgrade to 16 pro. Max is too big for me

Written September 19, 2024 Funny enough as I ordered an iPhone 15 512GB from AT&T in Jan 2024 but they only had the 15 256Gb and 14 TB in stock. I ended up getting the 14 1TB under the advice of the AT&T employee and it’s the best decision I could’ve made as that’s plenty storage to fill it with any game ect in my collection. I’m not planning to upgrade until 2030 at the latest… or at least until I lose or break this phone somehow
I upgrade if I wanna upgrade, coming from a 14 Pro Max which had some of the worst battery life of any iPhone, I’m upgrading and nobody is stopping me 😂😂
@1trompet146the 16 and 16 Pro is a massive upgrade from the 11, 11 Pro and 12? 12 Pro, there’s no comparison, you will notice the improvements and differences.
Or… people *should* do what they want with their money. And anyone who doesn’t spend their money on other people’s phones *should* mind their own business.
@@steffan1804no it’s not look at the cameras barely any noticable differences from a 12 pro max like I have. Especially in background detail it’s like comparing a 4 year old ps5 to a new ps5 pro the difference is almost none existing 😂
Actually upgrading from the se 2020 to the 16 pm. Was pretty good for the first year and then the battery life fell off hard and my display is wrecked as well.

14pro Max vs 16pro Max I checked out the iPhone 16 Pro Max today, and I ran into some issues. I’d appreciate it if you all could give it a try too 🙏🏻. So, when I was testing it, I noticed that the photo quality at long distances for the iPhone 16 Pro and above seems worse than the iPhone 14 Pro when zoomed in at 15x. Distant text, in particular, looks really blurry on the iPhone 16, while the iPhone 14 Pro captures it much clearer. I asked one of the staff about it, and they said it might be a glass issue. Then I spoke to another staff member, and they suggested trying the ultra-wide angle... but that didn’t really help with my question. Honestly, I couldn’t get a clear answer, and I tried four different devices! Maybe there’s a setting that got messed up or something. If you could all test it out, that would be great! I’ve already placed my order, and if this is a real issue, it could affect sales and even the stock price-no one wants blurry distant shots!
Yup, all that is true. But is any of that a reason to upgrade? Just because it's an upgrade doesn't mean YOU need to upgrade. As soon as you leave the store, your phone is obsolete. That's the trap, that's how they get you to keep coming back year after year.
So basically if you don’t really play any graphic-intensive games on your phone and don’t care about Apple’s AI, then there’s no need to upgrade. Got it
I have a 13 pro and was planning on waiting to get a 17 pro. I am thinking I’ll just replace the battery and maybe wait until the 18 pro. Maybe I’ll even just get the 18 too. All of those updates don’t actually have any impact on my life anymore
I'm glad you spent a fair amount of time on features besides just the camera vs reviewers just spouting specs without really understanding what they mean. So, thanks for that. Honestly, I wish they would focus more on basic functionality like battery life, more durable case, and stronger cell signal radios for better connectivity. As soon as the tactical/marketing emphasis switched from a phone with a camera to a camera that's sort of a phone, all manufacturers (not just Apple) stopped caring about ANY of that. So for now, I'm sticking with my 14 Pro.
Im upgrading from a 12 mini to a 16 pro. Mainly because my minis battery is on low health and i got a really good deal. To bad the mini is discontinued, because it was by far the best format for daily useage of them
The way most people use their phones, I’d argue even a 12 is more than good enough, especially given the bargain prices they’re selling for. They also still feel very premium and still get software support. iPhone 15 gives you usb-c which helps a lot with decluttering as most things use usb-c right now. 16 is a very incremental improvement imo.
Upgrading from my 13 pro to 16 pro. Was a great phone and still is. Battery at 77 and the phone gets really hot now a days. Trading to Apple for $340 off the 16 pro. Thinks it’s worth it. 13 pro is a heavy phone tbh getting tired of the weight lol.
If you have any 13 iphone series DO NOT upgrade, if you have XR or XS yes, if you have the 11/11 pro maybe yes if you have issues, the 12 maybe but i would change battery and wait for the 17. Do not waste money on new iPhones if not needed
@@Kseo93 fr like shut yo broke ahh up, i’ll upgrade my phone when I feel like upgrading my phone. Brokie can’t afford to upgrade so he doesn’t want other people to
Why you need to change your phone if not broken or does have the latest iOS? I mean people shouldn’t be materialistic and should spend their money in better ways. If you are rich, things are different
Unpopular opinion - iPhone 13 Pro still feels more premium than 16 Pro in reality (when you hold it and not just comparing new features). Just checked one and now I love my 13 Pro even more 😁
The 13 pro max in daily / real life usage won't give you true downsides over the latest 15/16 pro (max), in my family they own 14 and 15PM and this weekend I got to test the 16PM so I know whar I'm talking about. The camera quality jump from the 12 pro to 13 pro was big (wide angle much improved as was nightmode) whereas 14-15-16 pro/max seem small incremental updates. Literally nobody cares about 48MP, just looks good on the specsheet. Most people post their pictures on social media which compresses it anyways lol. and even today some people still ask what camera I make my pictures with because they look so frickin good. Dynamic island isn't really shocking either.. who actually cares? (except it visually shows you got a more recent iphone lol) Brightness is more than good enough on 13 pro max. I cant possibly imagine you'd need more, even now I barely ever put it to the max brightness. And 3 years later with 85% battery health my 13PM still easily gets through the day. Depending on wifi/lte between 6-8 hours screen on time which is unbelievable . This is probably my favorite thing since I own the phone. Only thing I really prefer on the 15/16PM (I've held both) is the noticeable difference in lower weight. I could easily afford a 16PM (not trying to sound like a dick) and I do love my tech but it would just be a waste of money. My 13PM has been an excellent workhorse the last few years and until the camera's really show a drastic improvement again I'm holding on to this little beast for a bit longer (as long as the battery continues keeping up with my heavy usage).
These types of videos are DEFINITELY a smart move due to a lot of people having contracts they are stuck in. Forcing people with older phones to wait. Good call 👍🏻
I’m coming from a 13 pro and I still feel this is such a good phone. I'm a bit disappointed regarding the camera button and Apple Intelligence feels just completely underwhelming. So I'm torn between upgrading or just replacing the battery and waiting for the 17 pro. The only things I would appreciate right now are the improvement in battery life, the extra brightness, the faster charging, the USB-C, and the always-on-display. But none of them are life changing. It’s a sum of small nice-to-haves.
I’m upgrading to a 16 pro from a 14 pro. The reasons being are mostly: - battery life - cameras (especially the new video features) - Apple Intelligence Whilst I know that AI isn’t coming until later this year, I feel like this could be a game changer for those working in content creation or power users
@@jonathangenthner3964 100% agreed! I have the 16 pro now and I can honestly say that even making the display slightly bigger is a great change, it looks amazing
UK iPhone 12 user here- I won’t be upgrading. Cost - reward just ain’t worth it yet for me. Given I don’t use my camera for much other than pictures of items at the shop to check with my wife it’s the right one, the 12 does just fine. RUclips and Netflix work fine, as do banking Apps.
@@horrypottur5854 I was going to make a pre-purchase of 16 Pro Max but it is out of stock with my operator Telia. so I will wait until they get more in.
@@horrypottur5854 I haven’t yet lol, I’m waiting to go and see them in store because I literally can’t pick between Natural/Black. What color are you going for? I think I’ll keep it until Apple does a big redesign so I’m kind of taking this release serious
Back then, an upgrade meant having an extra camera, having a foldable version, becoming wireless charging, etc. These improvements are so minor it's almost like a Kaizen but at inflated prices.
Upgrading (barring any discoveries of overheating and the like...) form the 12PM. A great phone, but the 'C' port is a huge factor, better camera, Pro chip, etc.. The iPhones 16 will be in stores tomorrow, and I'll be going to take a look. If all is well, maybe 01 NOV-ish.
Upgrading from my 13 pro max to a 16 pro max this week. I’ve had it since it dropped in ‘21 I’ve loved it. But compared to the 14 & 15 pro models, this upgrade is actually worth it.
Thanks for doing this. This is great. While I love the 13PM 1TB I had decided to upgrade to the 16PM 1TB Black Titanium and will be picking it up locally tomorrow and am excited.
I’m going for iphone 16 pro max from iphone 13. I watch alot of videos and game on my phone alot. The big screen and 120 hz will be perfect for me. Usb c is also a plus
Extremely informative! Nicely setting out features and enhancements from an objective, neutral standpoint and assessing whether upgrades make sense for the average consumer. Well done Daniel.
13 pro. Just changed the battery which increased the performance. Probably a lot of the perceived performance is just a fresh battery. I’ll probably change at 17 but not before. I know someone who is running the XS and is perfectly happy.
Got so many people saying "don't upgrade, wait for the 17" while I'm using a 13 pro and I got to say, you really helped me a lot. Tech will always get better so we can't always just wait for something better, if you got the cash to splash and have a relatively old phone such as a 13 or 12 then upgrade
love this video so helpful ❤ Having the iPhone 14 pro and you helped me decide to just get the battery replaced and wait next year to see what the iPhone 17 Pro offers.
You should go for the 16 Pro instead of the regular 16 because the Pro has better & bigger display, better cameras, & probably better battery life than the regular 16
@@CarsandTechInfo I have a 13 pro and I would prefer a 16 over a 16 pro as well..16 pro has (yet again) gotten bigger, which is just useless and annoying. My 13pro's screen is set to 60hz because the difference with 120hz is minor and I prefer the longer battery life. Camera of 16 and 16 pro are identical apart from the 5x zoom (which I would never use). Battery life between 16 and 16 pro is pretty much identical according to benchmarks.
I have a 14 pro, but I'm upgrading to the 16 pro mainly for usb c and 48mp ultrawide camera, and of course, maybe the better battery life. But I'll be keeping the 16 Pro for at least 3 years, so help me, God.

14pro Max vs 16pro Max

Great video, subscribed because Salford in the photo test 😉
I’m upgrading from 12 pro max, 16 pro max 1 TB black arriving tomorrow , based on your video I’m very happy with the new specs 😁👌👍
The purple 14 pro is so beautiful
Thanks for this information. Upgraded from a 12 Pro to a 16 Pro.
I have a 13pro, and it’s gonna wait for the 17 air.
Back then, an upgrade meant having an extra camera, having a foldable version, becoming wireless charging, etc.
These improvements are so minor it's almost like a Kaizen but at inflated prices.
Best should you upgrade video I’ve seen so far!
Was on the fence about upgrading from my 14 Pro. Guess I won’t upgrade.
This video was truly helpful. Thanks Daniel.
Shout out to fellow iPhone 12 users!!! Mines a work horse with no case. Live dangerously 😂
Upgrading (barring any discoveries of overheating and the like...) form the 12PM. A great phone, but the 'C' port is a huge factor, better camera, Pro chip, etc.. The iPhones 16 will be in stores tomorrow, and I'll be going to take a look. If all is well, maybe 01 NOV-ish.
Good comparison video, thank you
I don't like titanium, steel looks way better than titanium. Love the heavy iphone 📱 sticking to 14pm.
This is a super helpful video. Thanks for the detail!
AHHHHH YOU WENT TO THE SILERSTONE GP AWSOME!!!
Would you recommend upgrading to a regular 16 from a 14 pro max?
Upgrading from my 13 pro max to a 16 pro max this week. I’ve had it since it dropped in ‘21 I’ve loved it. But compared to the 14 & 15 pro models, this upgrade is actually worth it.
Thanks for doing this. This is great. While I love the 13PM 1TB I had decided to upgrade to the 16PM 1TB Black Titanium and will be picking it up locally tomorrow and am excited.
Hi! So, how is it? I’m upgrading from 13 pro to 16 pro but I feel a little guilty cause it’s not thaaat new
1:59 there is nothing “fresh”, nothing “new” and nothing “colourful”. That’s honestly the main reason I don’t want to upgrade my 12 Pro yet
Had a 12 for 2 years, currently have the 13 for 1 year - should I go for the 15 pro or 16 pro?
This video was super helpful! Thanks
Thank you for making this video, you’ll help me and many others with this 😊
Just the video I was looking for!
Was there any part of the video that, while at first seemed like it was what you were looking for, ended up not being what you were looking for?
Awesome comparison, everything one needs to know to decide.
I am still using IP 13 PM. Not upgrading this year.
upgrading from my xr to the 16 😮
Just what I needed to know - thanks.. 👍🏼👍🏼
Coming from 14 pro… upgrading for the rounded edges. The „sharp“ edges bothered me from day one after upgrading from my jetblack 7
ZONEof Teach has come far thanks for uploading the hard work and dedication goes unnoticed
This is great information!
Excelente!!! Buen video con todo lo que necesitaba
Great video! I'm upgrading to iPhone 16 from the 11 I think I've waited long enough, and it is in perfect condition with no scratches lol
Mine is 11…been 5 years so thinking of upgrading but still unsure…thanks for this video
I’m going for iphone 16 pro max from iphone 13. I watch alot of videos and game on my phone alot. The big screen and 120 hz will be perfect for me. Usb c is also a plus
This is a perfect video on how to demonstrate to anybody that want to upgrade to a 16
very nice breakdown of the features, well done. Helped me make my decision coming from a 13 pro!
Great video! Awesome idea to compare them like this. Very useful
Extremely informative! Nicely setting out features and enhancements from an objective, neutral standpoint and assessing whether upgrades make sense for the average consumer. Well done Daniel.
thanks for the videos
very informative, thank you
I love my sierra blue 13 pro but charger port is unreliable, over heats, and battery life is at 77% feel like I had to upgrade to the 16 pro
13 pro. Just changed the battery which increased the performance. Probably a lot of the perceived performance is just a fresh battery. I’ll probably change at 17 but not before. I know someone who is running the XS and is perfectly happy.
Thanks. I’m currently using 12 mini and I’m in real mood to upgrade. This video is just exactly what I was looking for
Awesome comparison & content ❤️🔥
Got so many people saying "don't upgrade, wait for the 17" while I'm using a 13 pro and I got to say, you really helped me a lot. Tech will always get better so we can't always just wait for something better, if you got the cash to splash and have a relatively old phone such as a 13 or 12 then upgrade
should I upgrade to an iPhone 16pro from an iPhone 12 mini?
Yes
I'd say get the 16 keep the mini. I kept mine.
Planning to upgrade from 13 Pro, gonna up the storage from 128 to 256GB as well
Grew out of the 64GB quickly. Then, the 128GB from a 12 PM last year. Now 512GB seems like the new standard.
I feel it's a paid video
love this video so helpful ❤
Having the iPhone 14 pro and you helped me decide to just get the battery replaced and wait next year to see what the iPhone 17 Pro offers.
My IPhone 14: you may have better toys than us but do you have experience?
iPhone 16: 😟
Went from the 14+ to the 16 pro, happy so far
How about upgrading from 13 Pro to regular 16?
You should go for the 16 Pro instead of the regular 16 because the Pro has better & bigger display, better cameras, & probably better battery life than the regular 16
@@CarsandTechInfo I have a 13 pro and I would prefer a 16 over a 16 pro as well..16 pro has (yet again) gotten bigger, which is just useless and annoying. My 13pro's screen is set to 60hz because the difference with 120hz is minor and I prefer the longer battery life. Camera of 16 and 16 pro are identical apart from the 5x zoom (which I would never use). Battery life between 16 and 16 pro is pretty much identical according to benchmarks.
The idea of this kind of comparison is genius. I needed this video to make an informed decision. Best comparison video ever
I have a 14 pro, but I'm upgrading to the 16 pro mainly for usb c and 48mp ultrawide camera, and of course, maybe the better battery life. But I'll be keeping the 16 Pro for at least 3 years, so help me, God.
