People hating on the audio mix not realizing those are two extreme environments tested and in a pinch they performed decently. In a more realistic environment with software updates as well this feature is going to be really useful. Also the ability to change video after the fact with 120 4k is awesome. I think the biggest thing for me though is the battery life, the new chips are way more efficient and these phones should be way better in that department. Gaming tests will be interesting on these phones. If you like to game these are a nice step up too.
There are obvious technical issues going on in these examples, shown by using a 22,050Hz sample rate, versus the traditional 44.1kHz or 48kHz sample rates. Earlier demos did not show this, so either Apple's demos were faked or more likely a software bug on these devices.
Yeah. The audio demos in the cafe and the plane were both good and bad. They were bad in that the isolated voice sounded thin and tinny and in the plane so quiet it was almost unintelligible but the good (and most important) thing in those demos is that the voice was isolated so improving the quality of the isolated voice by manipulating/correcting the frequency curve and normalising the volume is something that I assume can be worked on in future software updates. Even in that plane demo the information in the isolated voice was all there so just post-processing it to boost the volume would I suspect have shifted even that extreme environment demo from "hmmm, this is barely useable" (my opinion on that particular example) to "wow, that's impressive"
Coming from 13 pro max, will greatly miss Sierra blue but looking forward to -48 mp wide and UW and macro - titanium -AI -much better battery -action mode -Dynamic Island -camera control -wifi 7 -satellite texting
Great review. I appreciate your focus on the 16 Pro’s many capabilities. Some reviewers being too precious pretending it’s not worth reviewing without the upcoming AI features. Reviewers are becoming crazier with each iPhone release. The same reviewers who whined about Apple’s walled garden or not allowing for more “customization”, are now complaining the Camera Control is too granular and how nobody wants it.
I present what's here and let the audience decide. Just because I might like a feature doesn't mean it's useful for the viewer. I'm very direct with my assessment at the end, and if I'm telling people you do not need to upgrade I'm not sure how that makes me a fanboy.
@@briantong it doesn’t. Less than 10% of owners upgrade annually. Apple knows this and buyers do too. The additional features from the 15 and 16 Pro’s make me really happy to upgrade from the 14 Pro. My sister is holding on for dear life to her 12 Pro. You’re a good reviewer Brian, what can you do, haters gonna hate no matter what.
I've wanted a Product RED iPhone Pro FOREVER. This has to be the most BORING year for iPhone Pro "colors" ever tbh. Phone looks cool, but yeah, the colors are lame. Great video, Brian!
Yeah. I thought of upgrading too. I have a 13 Pro... but I also have those moment lenses. Macro especially. The physical lens makes a big big difference... So I guess I'll hold on to the 13 pro for a year or so longer.
I'm strongly considering upgrading from my 13 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max because of the camera upgrades, the better battery life, & wanting a lighter Pro Max model. I make car videos for Instagram, TikTok, & RUclips, so the camera & battery life improvements justify upgrading this year from the 13 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max, even though I was considering to get the 15 Pro Max in blue titanium while my carrier or Apple still has it in stock. But then the camera & battery life upgrades to the 16 Pro Max means it makes more sense to just get that through my carrier with their trade-in deal
Thank you for some positive content everybody so negative on this phone not everybody has a 15 promax. I’m upgrading from a 12 Pro Max to the 16 promax. I’m going to notice a very significant change. Thank you.
That new video quality is mind blowing! Coming from a freaking cell phone! The details of water bouncing off of the floor, the background water drops vs the foreground, the light capturing, etc. I'm typically a bit cynical on Apple updates, but this is truly impressive.
I had the 14 pro and upgraded to the 16 pro. I think it’s a nice upgrade. Much lighter, better camera, and AI coming. I mean, it’s not earth shattering but it’s fantastic. I paired it with the beats stone case. 🥵 So good!
Now this is it!!! This is why I follow you, beautiful video, beautiful sets, colors and editing. This is worth watching on the big Sony OLED TV. And thank you for replying to the other video.
I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max that’s paid off. I preordered the 16 Pro Max from AT&T. I’m not a content creator, I just like what saw. Plus the trade amount is pretty sweet. Personal choice
A18/A18 pro and M4 are the first cpu with armv9 instructions set. We came using armv8 instructions from A7 (iphone 5s), so 10 years. But the armv9 supports 10 instructions set and a way different sub architecture optimizations for performance per watt. People need to study a bit instead of only seeing outside cosmetic stuff
Is there any chance we could get some follow up on the new thermal system and if they're any different between the 16 and 16 Pro? Every iPhone, at least until this one we don't know about yet, has throttled and dimmed the display after a while in the hot sun or playing a game, and those days that are hot are usually when I have the most problems getting into the camera app and taking photos in a flash where it sometimes starts lagging.
Sony has been doing 4K 120 in S-Cinetone and HDR on ALL (not just one lens like the Apple) the lenses for several years. Apple should’ve upped it a bit and do 4K 240 fps and 2K 960 fps two second slowmo burst.
I’m turn between IPhone 15pro and 16pro. I have iPhone 13. I’d like to have newest chip and better battery, but I hate that camera button. To me it’s worthless and I’m not content creator
The reason to compare iphone 15 pro and 16, is that they are of same price, have same camera and hardware configuration. Iphone 16 is better in hardware perf, while 15 pro has extra lens. Both will be around the same price, hence asked which would be better.
They’ve been smart to provide all the buttons on ALL the phones, AND open up the API, this is the only way to get all the apps to support it, make it an across-the-board iPhone experience as of gen 16.
Great review it’s sucks that the apple intelligence isn’t available yet and won’t fully be baked in till next year I usually update my phone every two years and wanted to update from my iPhone 14 Pro Max but now I don’t know if I should
AI will not be fully baked in for decades; it is a moving target where many features will be released during the year. It is aa misnomer to complain about this, but people love to complain.
Brian - do you remember gushing about the battery life and camera on the iPhone 11 Pro? This reminds me a bit of that time. The battery life on the iPhone 15 Pro has been horrible. Is this worth upgrading for ?
Audio mix feature is pretty great. But the thing that sold me since im primarily wireless charging, its the 25w wireless charging. Much quicker charging wirelessly
When you zoom in using the Camera button, I'm seeing a slight delay... is that because of RUclips or is there actually a delay? How would that effect smooth zoom in when recording a commercial or film? Thanks!
Yo Yo BT in da house! Hah, great intro, lots of fun 🎉 It feels like all these iPhone 16 reviews are placeholders for what happens when Apple Intel finally releases… might need a new round of reviews when that happens. I’ll be waiting till the 17 at this rate.
Hello Sir …. Would it be a significant jump from IPhone 15 to IPhone 16 Pro considering the AI and Camera ??? I’m in dilemma … Need your advice very badly 🙏
From standard to a Pro there will be a jump, but only upgrade if you think you really need to. Now if you just want the latest that's for you but the AI won't really be ready until next year. The camera system will be the significant jump for you
Pixel 9 pro had the biggest updates. Apple throttled this year. I hope those new speakers make the talk to text better 🤦🏾♂️. Thanks for the first look
The only reason why I upgrade is the larger display and the camera control “button”. It can have practical use for other things if developers can try to implement functionality of it
Great video, as always. I’m questioning the camera button, seem kind of redundant since the camera options are already on the screen. Maybe Apple will turn this button into fingerprint ID for the non pro phones and give the pro phones an under the display Face ID for the 20th anniversary.
I use to always look for new designs years ago. I’m literally to a point where I’m like, what else can they do? Are you really going to use your phone any different if the line the camera straight across and made the phone thinner? No! I’m not saying they shouldn’t change it, I’m just saying it won’t change your experience in using the phone. I can about phone designs now about as much as I care about laptop designs!
Any accidental Camera Control presses when using one handed? It’ll be interesting to see if they’ll open up the Camera Control button to do other things outside of the camera app in future iPhones/iOS updates.
You know from what I have seen with regards to Apple Intelligence it is really going to rely on the user taking the time to input information for contacts and calendar appointments correctly and with all of the available details. This is something that many of the people in my family don’t do. When they add an appointment in the calendar, it is often an almost shorthand description. Yes, it works for them, but it doesn’t help an artificial intelligence assistant.
I just don't know if that Desert color is doing it for me? I think I'm still staying with the black one. I always have ended up getting the black every time I have upgraded.
I’m upgrading because my 15 pro max overheats. I’m pissed that the upgrade with 1TB only credits me $550 WTF. But with the overheating problem I wouldn’t feel good selling it outright
Action button camera switch Dynamic Island pro motion 6.9 inch screen brighter screen better battery life better cellular connectivity these are just some of the reasons going from the 12 pro to the 16 pro is a huge upgrade. This isn’t for people who already have the 15.
Love video. I like that you did not edit the audio. Then you get a real world "look" at what it sounds like. Example: the airplane audio test took out a lot of the background sound but the volume was low. The café test was good but not as warm sounding as I would like. Most of this probably could be fixed in post. I am not sure about if there is enough headroom in the audio to up the volume in post. My Monterey CarWeek 2024 videos some of my audio was too low and upping the volume in Lumafusion/post did not 100% fix the issue. That was using a RODE Video mic pro in some of the videos and I might have tried using my mic in my Shokz bone conducting earphones in some of the other video. A word for the wise don't do that. Use earphones mic to record Video Audio, not good. I do wonder over time with AI software if those issues will get better over time.
Good review mate , it looks like a good phone , as for the AI stuff , personally I think a lot of it is fairly gimmicky and unless you have a specific use case for it , a lot of it won’t even see the light of day for the average user.
How Heavy is the pro max. I ordered one and i have a 13 pro max. It's heavy ish. My son has a 15 plus and his phone is super light. Hoping my new phone is light as well 😅
Love the content. I have a hard time buying the latest pro max. Still sitting on the 14 pro max. The picture quality taken on the 14 pro Max seems better for some reason. 🤷♂️ bad apple?
considering upgrading from an iphone 11. but honestly don’t feel like i would need to if my screen and wide camera weren’t broken and my battery wasn’t so old
So i got my 16pro max yesterday i went to bed with 80% battery and i didn't put it on the charger intentionally to see how long the batter would last so i sat it down about 10 inches away from my charger, i woke up with 100% battery. Is it possible that it drew the power from the magsafe charger from such a distance??
Great Video Brian. Looks great but I'm still gonna wait for the 17. I still rocking my mini 12. Only way I'll have a new iphone is if I get it for free 😂
Hi all, would like your opinion. Currently I have the 15 pro. The battery is awful… just awful… was awful from day one. I mainly use it for WhatsApp messages and the phone doesn’t get me through the day… Should I upgrade to the pro model or the pro max? Obviously the pro model is more manageable in terms of screen size and I prefer a smaller phone. Yet, I don’t want to compromise the battery life as my experience with the current pro model is terrible… What do you think?
I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max battery capacity at 80%. I think I can get another year out of it and wait for iPhone 17 Pro that is rumored to get all three cameras at 48MP.

Is there any hope on the Pro models that we could get 4k spatial video?
How Heavy is the pro max. I ordered one and i have a 13 pro max. It's heavy ish. My son has a 15 plus and his phone is super light. Hoping my new phone is light as well 😅
Do the new photographic styles work in video too or just photo?
Only on Photos at the moment.
Love the content. I have a hard time buying the latest pro max. Still sitting on the 14 pro max. The picture quality taken on the 14 pro Max seems better for some reason. 🤷♂️ bad apple?
Have a 14pm and my battery is at 76%, how is yours?
@@JayKang11 mine is sitting at 88%. Thinking that's pretty good. Good apple 📱
considering upgrading from an iphone 11. but honestly don’t feel like i would need to if my screen and wide camera weren’t broken and my battery wasn’t so old
So i got my 16pro max yesterday i went to bed with 80% battery and i didn't put it on the charger intentionally to see how long the batter would last so i sat it down about 10 inches away from my charger, i woke up with 100% battery. Is it possible that it drew the power from the magsafe charger from such a distance??
Great Video Brian. Looks great but I'm still gonna wait for the 17. I still rocking my mini 12. Only way I'll have a new iphone is if I get it for free 😂
Is the gold colored UI an aftermarket purchases or baked in? @15:06 I’m coming from a 12 PM so excited for this drop.
Was not expecting that! Thanks for the morning laugh! It was amazing
Hi all, would like your opinion.
Currently I have the 15 pro. The battery is awful… just awful… was awful from day one.
I mainly use it for WhatsApp messages and the phone doesn’t get me through the day…
Should I upgrade to the pro model or the pro max? Obviously the pro model is more manageable in terms of screen size and I prefer a smaller phone. Yet, I don’t want to compromise the battery life as my experience with the current pro model is terrible…
What do you think?
I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max battery capacity at 80%. I think I can get another year out of it and wait for iPhone 17 Pro that is rumored to get all three cameras at 48MP.
hey Brian, i know Prizefight is belonging to CNET, but I can do something similar to that? It was a fun segment.
Working on bringing something like it back...it takes time to develop!
dam bro im an android head 4 life but the cam and vid tech and ur video def got me convinced to check it out !
Apple Intelligence will be "fully baked" (kind of) for iPhone 18
You are too much! haha! You crack me up. Good video and information with a good laugh. Thanks Brian.
Do you have a video on how to safely install windows on my MacBook Pro?
Do you guy think it’s worth upgrading from my iPhone 11 to the 16 pro?
