  • This is my review of the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max after using it every day for over 2 months, and I definitely have a lot of frustrations with this phone. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is a good phone and has some nice improvements over the 15 Pro Max, but it still suffers from camera and heat issues and the failed implementation of Apple Intelligence, and its still the bland same ole same ole Apple always puts out - plus the iPhone 16 Pro Max camera action button sucks.

    I don't know with Apple anymore man,at times I think they are just playing us. I mean the 16 Pro Max is a great phone but so was the last 5-6 iterations of it. They are too incremental,Apple has lost its daring mojo for innovation. Android is the way right now and they always push the bar beyond the "safe zone"..Playing it too safe may not be a good thing for Apple.

      Apple has never been about innovation. They've copied the competition late since day one. Only thing they really led on was pinch to zoom and good on screen keyboard on the original iPhones.

      I hear you, but for me the iPhone works and nothing works as well and as consistently as it.
      The gimmicks and “innovations” aren’t exactly game breakers anymore. I was a blackberry guy for ever, used android after for a hot second and ended up on apple devices.
      I know they’re as secure as can be, they generally just work without effort, and I’m too busy now to worry about the gimmicks.
      10 years ago it was exciting to see new features now I just care if the phone works as good as my last one and helps me get my work done.
      I’ve transitioned from tech geek to dad and small improvements annually means every 2 or 3 years I bother to upgrade I get a better phone.

On launch date I purchased the 16 pro Max basically had the same issues you described, very disappointing so I kept it two weeks traded it in for the 24 ultra.

    Evening 😊
    I'm so glad I passed on the iPhone 16 Pro Max this year, don't talk to me about Siri, the times I argued with him on my 15 Pro Max for getting it wrong, then him telling me, "that's not nice" or, "I'm doing my best"!! I can't ever see me going back to iPhone anytime soon. My OPPO Find X8 Pro arrived today, I've set it up, all I can say is, wow, buttery smooth, so many cool customisations, it's got everything Google Pixel has and S24 Ultra, but does things better. Lightning fast and lighter than my 9 Pro XL feels nice in the hand, came with a screen protector on it, and it was very simple to transfer everything, so I'm super pleased. The camera has some fab AI features, not had a chance to take any pics yet, heavy rain and gales here at the moment so hopefully tomorrow I will, it's our 22nd wedding anniversary tomorrow.
    Ohhh you naughty boy not putting another screen protector on! If I had a scratch in mine I wouldn't want it anymore! Your iPhone sounds pretty bad! ❤

    The only time I messed up an iPhone screen is when my iPhone 5C got smashed between the floor and bottom of the ramp in my wheelchair accessible minivan. It developed an LCD leak to the point that I couldn’t do anything with it. I took it to T-Mobile and got the Samsung Note 4. Worse mistake I made. A year later I was back on the iPhone with the 7 Plus. I haven’t looked back since. I’m now on the 16 Plus and loving every iPhone I had since the 7 Plus (XR, 11, 12, 14 Plus, 15 Plus and now the 16 Plus).

Sure the 16 pro max is an incremental upgrade, but the 16 is what the 15 should have been! I personally haven’t had anymore heating issues. I do agree about the screen scratching easily though. Just wiping the screen to install screen protector cause some scratches to show up.

Have stopped watching videos touting half-baked beta features that will probably never make it outside the US. Still, I like the iPhone hardware, and the standard iOS experience. Some “old” features such as Continuity camera have finally started working reliably, not Universal clipboard though.

      If it weren’t for the unbelievable battery life of this phone, I would feel like I’ve been totally ripped off.
      Apple’s software feels like it’s for the uninitiated, at least on the iOS side of things. It’s so uncomplicated to the point of things just being cumbersome.
      And, no, it does not “just work”, the glitches on here are real and is borderline buggy.
      I’m typically an Android guy, but have found myself to be more of the product than my actual device, if you get my drift. Another reason why I switched is I just thought Apple will be more responsible with their AI after reading tons of articles on how they would implement it. Just didn’t think it would take them this long, but let’s see.

I have always had mainly Samsung Android phones and currently using my S23 Ultra, which has been very reliable. I don't have many apps on my phone and hardly need to use third party apps. The camera button is good, but as you said needs setting up. When I get any phone, I go through settings to get the phone how I want it.

    I purchased an iPhone 16 Pro Max after having used the pro for years. I’m kind of uncertain if I wanna return it or not today is the last day to do so. I’m older now and my eyes aren’t so good so I love the larger display. I certainly find myself using my phone more, but I know it’s kind of a honeymoon period. So I guess I’m curious if anybody has downgraded and how they felt about it. While I like the larger screen size the pro Max just doesn’t fit in pockets very well. It feels very bulky in large pockets and I have some jeans wear the top of the phone pokes out. There’s absolutely no way for me to enjoy a dinner out without pulling it out and putting it on the table. Any advice? Has anyone else with weak eyes “downgraded” to Pro and regretted it?

    Give Apple time to finish what they're doing with Apple Intelligence before jumping to conclusions. It takes more effort to create a privacy focused on-device Ai program than mobile based Ai.
    After using Pixel 9 Pro I was disappointed tbh with it being so mobile Ai driven off Google servers once I turned WiFi and Mobile off the New Pixel Ai features were unusable.
    Without Internet the Tensor G4 is a pretty weak processor even offline games like, Subway Surfers, Idle Swordfight, Crossy Road, and Angry Birds ran laggy at times.

Its an iPhone it works as it should but the incremental upgrades are becoming very stagnant the main selling point of this years phones with the AI isn't fully realized and it probably won't be for a couple more years. Decided to buy a pixel 9 pro XL recently and I gotta say goodbye to the iPhone even though the tensor isnt on par with Apple A series chips the feature set and the way Google has been able to optimize this phones overall performance is awesome with android 15 it's great. Even though there are some gripes with pixel like camera transition is jarring and few other things but overall I am enjoying the pixel 9 pro XL.

I've always loved Apple products, but they've lost something in recent years, and I believe they're (pardon the pun) phoning it in knowing the loyal fan base like yourself will buy whatever they come out with. There's little in the way of Apple magic and innovation happening. And sure, that's true of many manufacturers, and they should be called out for the same. But these kinds of videos are what spur people to think before purchasing, and hold companies accountable. Maybe you should ease up on the Kool Aid, buddy.
