@@JonAdamsTechok so here's everything I've heard from others: the iPhone 15 pro overheats easily, even after the update the performance was decreased and it's body is really easy to break, is that all true? And should I buy it new or refurbished from third party websites? I just want to "confirm" all these "major issues" are fixed/true or not.
@@GamereY0T I haven't had any of those issues and no one I know personally has said anything about that to me, so I can only say what I've heard. You would be fine to buy refurbished, try the phone for a few days and if you don't like it return it. Apples return policy rules
@@marvinnovotny9126 i'll see, if the third party website seller has a return policy and the phone doesn't overheat i'll go 15 pro, otherwise i'll just take the 16.
You don’t understand how helpful this video has been for me. I’ve been considering between these two phones and they are the two closer options than many others would actually think. You’re so much more comprehensive and down to the point than other tech reviewers and I’m really glad to get the reassurance you gave for the 15 Pro. Keep it up man and I really hope to see you up there with the other big tech reviewers.
Bro I have a 15 pro since launch , just buy it I promise you’ll love it it’s incredibly fast and smoother with 120hz refresh rate , you will get Apple intelligence on it and you’ll have triple cameras, plus it has much thinner bezels than the 16 , for software support it will last just like the 16 or maybe more.
I had an iPhone 11 (regular model) and I just bought the iPhone 15 Pro mainly because of the 120 hrtz screen and better camera also because I knew that I would never use that new camera button thing on the 16. But man the difference compared to my previous 11 is huge, I feel like I’m rediscovering what’s a smartphone 😂
hi in india the new 16 costs about 75000 which is 890 dollars and the iphone 15 pro is on sale for 95000 which is 1130 dollars which one should i buy or s23 ultra at 890
@@JonAdamsTechI choose the Blue Titanium color, that’s also why I preferred the 15 pro version because I’m not a big fan of the 16 pro new color but that’s more a personal taste
No mention of the battery life? The big thing about the 16 is the improved battery life over the 15 pro which has a dodgy battery life. And a good battery life is a make-or-break for a lot of shoppers out there.
My 15 pro battery life has been absolutely meh. I use no social media and play 0 games on my phone, not to mention rough thermals. Gets hot using notes & calculator.
I'm not so sure, unless your a gamer you don't need 120. And from what I've seen the pro motion displays on the 16 pro run at 80 or less in normal usage to save battery.
I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro Max with a degraded battery. I want a smaller phone with a better camera, better screen, and fresh battery. You’ve just helped me make a decision. Thank you for being the only one comparing these two phones.
So glad to finally see a practical review video. The other tech reviewers have been saying "Yea, it has the A18 chip which is faster." Ok, but do we NEED it? Isn't the A17 blazing fast already!? "Look at its geekbench scores." Mate, that tells me nothing about how it will work in my day to day life. Let's get real. Subscribed!
Great video. Last month I was in for a new iPhone. The iPhone 16 was announced but I was also looking at the iPhone 15 Pro. I did some research into the differences between these two iPhone models. I was astonished by the colors of the new 16. But I thought buying an iPhone only for its color wouldn’t be a great decision. After a week I had made my mind up and decided to buy the iPhone 15 Pro. Better cameras (the 16 actually doesn’t utilize optical zoom, it just cropping the image), faster usb c port (15 Pro has usb c 3.1 gen 2, iPhone 16 uses usb c 2.0 with slow data transfer), titanium body instead of aluminum, better display (120Hz Pro Motion), always on display, iPhone 15 Pro also supports Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 and older do not support Apple Intelligence. Only iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and iPhone 16/16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max), capable of shooting ProRes video with ACES and also log video, the price: I’ve payed less than a new iPhone 16 entry level would cost me, and a lot more. It’s really worth its price this iPhone 15 Pro. Sure, it doesn’t have the new camera button, but you can use the action button on iPhone 15 Pro to use it as a camera button, so.. I’ve subscribed to your channel mate. Keep up the good work and have a nice day.
@@JonAdamsTech Thank you for your kind words! Happy to be a member now. I agree about the camera button on iPhone 16 Pro. It doesn’t add any value to the 16 Pro compared to the iPhone 15 Pro. Keep up the great work!
I currently have the iPhone 16 plus in black with 256gb. The 60 hz refresh rate doesn’t bother me at all I’m happy with my purchase I came from the iPhone 14 plus, that I gave to my mother because she was using the iPhone 11.
The Camera Control button is, in my opinion, the worst feature this year. It is terribly fiddly and awkward to use. It seems totally superfluous and unnecessary. And the biggest downside? It actually *slows* down your picture-taking task! It's much faster just to use the on-screen controls. This button was ill-conceived. Instead of *removing* buttons from the iPhone, Apple decided to *add* new buttons such as the Action button and the Camera Control button. Steve Jobs must be spinning in his grave like a lathe. I sincerely hope they remove this feature in the next iteration of the iPhone (17 or 18) after users express their displeasure.
Thanks mate! My plan was buying the 15 (because of the good price now) but I'm still in doubt because of the better camera of the 15 pro, as well as the 120 hz, usb-c that can connect directly to a hard drive and the ability to get apple intelligence. What would you recommend?
Thank you for your honesty. I have a iPhone 12, and I am not happy with the camera. So Black Friday is Nov 25th, already checked out iPhone 15pro which I am interested in, but he says the 16 is the same price as the 15 right now. I hate it when they try and push you to a “better product”. So I will be bringing a male friend with me, to make sure all goes well! Again, thanks for this video, I really appreciate it!
@@olatoivoinen2262man, there‘s this whole video and a whole lotta comments here on your question. It doesn’t matter where you’re coming from. Decide already!
Appreciate the no-nonsense comparison and the bit of humor mixed in doesn't hurt either :) I'm considering these two phones as well; I think the 15 Pro's size and 3x camera are more practical than the larger/heavier 16 Pro and 5x camera (unlike you, I use the zoom a lot for family portraits) and your comparison here convinced me that it's also better than the standard 16, so that's probably what I'm getting. Thanks.
I’m actually going to be giving my brother my iPhone 15 pro max and I’ll be getting the iPhone 16. I prefer the design, weight, and functionality. I don’t want to be carrying around a luxury device. I want to use a phone as a productivity device. And the iPhone 16 succeeds at that without compromising anything
@@JonAdamsTech All the colors are really nice. It’s either black, white, or teal. But I think I’m gonna go with the white. Reminds me of the iPhone X which is my favorite design
Promotion is so negligible for me. I have low power mode on all the time anyway on my pro. And when it’s turned off automatically after a charge.. in the few minutes I scroll before turning it back on.. I really don’t care about the difference. I DO think the telephoto lens is useful on the pro while having 48mpxl on the 16 definitely helps the zoom compared to all other base iphones before it, the telephoto will still out-reach it and definitely provides more natural selfies and compression. To me- the only positive of the 16 is the lighter weight. And the main positive of the pro is the telephoto lens. Super tough call when thinking of which to get my dad lol.
I currently have a crappy android. I'm thinking of upgrading to an iphone 16. Should I shed out a lil extra and go for the 15 pro or stick with the base 16?
I went from a 13 mini to a 16 and couldn’t be happier the 13 started having major battery issues and I got a $200 trade in for the 16! Love the new 16 so much!
i still don’t know what iPhone to choose, cuz the iPhone 15 pro is great and smoother but im scared that is over heat like I heard and the iPhone 16 is also great, im not looking for the colors honestly, but it still hard to choose, what would you recommend? And thanks for video, i was looking for a video like this thank you so much.
I'm left handed as well, that sounds pretty good! The fact that you have to use the camera button with your right hand in landscape mode doesn't really bother me, it's just like with an actual camera where the shutter button is on the right. We just have to adapt, I'm sure we get used to it lol
Pro models have a significantly larger sensor, which makes a big difference when shooting video in low light. I have no idea why almost no reviewers mention this.
All of my reviewers, all the ones I own on the internet that I sent out into the world as my minions to confuse the masses who have been specifically instructed not to mention the larger sensor. We are big tech. We are inevitable.
Awesome comparison! Though still can't choose between 15 pro and 16 base model but I need a phone urgently! Please, advice! (Not obsessed with camera features)
Probably the biggest difference maker with the camera module (If I’m correct) is that the 16 has a new lossless file format to where it eliminates the artificial image sharpening that makes every photo and video look grainy/noisy. Huge selling point for a lazy photographer/videographer like me.
i still don’t know what iPhone to choose, cuz the iPhone 15 pro is great and smoother but im scared that is over heat like I heard and the iPhone 16 is also great, im not looking for the colors cuz i would go with the black anyway, but it still hard to choose, what would you recommend?

I have the 15 pro max … should I not be upgrading this year? I love the colors of the 16 this year. I’m not liking the natural titanium I chose last year .
Even if u're left handed (I’m too), the camera button makes it feel like you have a shooter, and in every camera, the shutter button is on the right side. It shouldn’t be a problem.
I have a 15 Pro currently and I’m the furthest thing from a heavy user, basic utilities, zero social media, music & podcasts. The 15 Pro definitely has thermal issues, it gets hot with basic tasks and I know I’m not the only one that has the issue. Another issue has been battery life. My standard 13 had much better battery life even with 90% battery health. I’m debating going to the standard 16 just for battery and thermal improvements. Idgaf about ProMotion or the telephoto. I want a phone that lasts me a full 2 days and doesn’t get hot while using notes and calculator.
Hello, this video was super helpful. I am currently using iPhone 11 and thinking of upgrading. Should I get 15 pro max as it will be at a discounted price or should I get base 16?
Hello Jon … need your advice very badly … should I upgrade to IPhone 16 Pro from IPhone 15 considering the Camera and AI features in the long run ??? Or, should I just wait until iPhone 17 comes out ???
I have the 15 Pro right now, but the pink iPhone 16 is calling my name! All the extra features for the pros don’t bother me since I honestly don’t use half the features.
Ik heb dit week de iPhone 16 gehaald. Ik heb er geen spijt van omdat de reguliere model al erg in de buurt van de ‘pro’ komt met z’n dynamic island, actieknop en cameraknop. Ja, er is geen 3e camera of 120hz scherm… maar is dat erg? 120hz merk ik niet hoor. PS: Ik kom van de iPhone 13. En ik twijfelde enorm tussen de 15 pro en 16. Uiteindelijk de 15 pro geannuleerd en 16 gehaald. ‘Tis idd wat goedkoper en intern issie best goed
As an iPhone 8 plus user, I wanna upgrade to 15 pro or 16/16pro, I am debating between those because of the camera (I know It's a big jump from 8 to newer models ) so is it worth considering the 16 pro or should I just buy the 15 pro ...?
Does the iPhone 15 Pro heat faster than the base 16 model? And when it comes to the front camera, I’ve heard that the iPhone 15 Pro has a Grayish and Grainy output. comparing it to the base 16 iPhone which is better?
I think the new chip is more frugal with respect to battery. But as much as to choose the non pro. I think it’s mostly the price that decides the pick.
Quick question with the 15 pro discounted on amazon for the certified renewed an is almost 99 dollars lesser than the brand new 16 , what's your take for a person that just needs a go to go ,smooth and basic phone that has a good logivity and resell value here between the iphone 16 and the iphone 15 pro?
@JonAdamsTech nah I'm not really picky on the battery side like I'm coming from a Samsung s23 and the battery was relatively average ,from my research I might get 60-70percent of what I got if I go with the 15 pro but one con is the refub I tend to stand in between since the battery tends to vary and reduce on performance and all since it was refurb I don't know if I'm right or wrong cause that's what holding back on either getting the 15pro or the 16 ATM,pls do give me your thought 😉
I would still prefer the last years pro any day of the week its just much better i have a 15 pro max and i think that going to a base model iPhone if you can buy a pro in the same price just doesn’t make sense to me
Just upgraded my 14 pro to the 16 pro, mainly because, as a photographer, shooting in raw format is helpful (of course, I don't need to shoot in raw all the time, the regular camera on the 15/16 is just as good). I'm just hoping the regular models in future will go to 120Hz.
I need to upgrade from the regular 11. I have the chance to get the 15Pro 70€ cheaper than the regular 16. Most important things to me are the camera and the battery. Would you buy the 16 or the 15Pro?
Please tell me which to buy for my sister birthday? i know girls like the pro models,,, but iphone 16 is better at battery life, how much one hour in advance?
In my country IPhone 15 Pro is actually like 105€ more expensive than IPhone 16. Also I am based in EU, so there will be no Apple Intelligence any time soon. Taking into consideration those factors would you still choose IPhone 15 pro? There are some problems with availability of iPhone 16 tho. Many thanks for recommendations!
@@JonAdamsTech of course but i was using translate so I didn’t understand well so I don’t know what to do , I need your opinion about that if you have iPhone 15 pro will you buy iPhone 16 or not ?
Thanks for the video. I am so confused. I am on a 12 mini and want to make an upgrade. iPhone 15 pro and iPhone 16 are in my budget. Now my pro owner friends want me to go for pro but my 15 plus or 15 owner friends recommend me the 16 for battery. Apparently 15 pro is not good battery wise?
got myself 15pro for €950 while regular 16 is for €1000, I think whoever is stuck with these two choices would be happy with iPhone 15 pro considering almost similar price tag. That extra camera on 15 pro is good, plus small form factor, 120 hz and not having that useless button for camera control is a big deal to me because it is simply impractical.
At an authorised iStyle store in Europe iPhone 15 PRO (256GB) costs € 1165 and ..... 16PRO (256GB) € 1305 ...... So I don't understand the comparison between the PRO and the base 16 model.
In my country IPhone 15 Pro is actually 13% more expensive than IPhone 16. Also I am based in UE, so there will be no Apple Intelligence any time soon. Taking into consideration those factors would you still choose IPhone 15 pro? There are some problems with availability of iPhone 16 tho. Many thanks for recommendations!
The 16 is an incremental improvement over the 15, which was an incremental improvement over the 14, which was an incremental improvement over the 13, which was an incremental improvement over the 12. If you own any of these older iPhones, you do not need to upgrade (unless your device is dying). They all take good photos and videos, so the camera is not a good reason to upgrade. They all play your average video game well enough, so the processor is not a good reason to upgrade. The Action and Camera Control buttons are not a good reason to upgrade. Apple Intelligence is likely not a good reason to upgrade; this feature is too gimmicky. My advice? Wait for a truly groundbreaking revision of the iPhone. Skip this one for now.

I got chu bro I got chu!!! ruclips.net/video/QCNxD00i5Bo/видео.htmlsi=K2VMOODmvbuU9K2X
i still don’t know what iPhone to choose, cuz the iPhone 15 pro is great and smoother but im scared that is over heat like I heard and the iPhone 16 is also great, im not looking for the colors honestly, but it still hard to choose, what would you recommend? And thanks for video, i was looking for a video like this thank you so much.
I have a video on the heating issue. Did you see it?
A clear, detailed and entertaining video. Subscribed. I bought an iPhone 16, but I'm on the fence for switching it for a 15 pro.
Thanks! And I’d personally rock the 15 pro between those two
Ive heard from other reviewers that the 15 pro models overheat really easy. Have you experienced this, is it true? Thanks
Nope haven’t had this problem at all
I have the 15 pro max and mostly happens when charging the phone
I'm left handed as well, that sounds pretty good! The fact that you have to use the camera button with your right hand in landscape mode doesn't really bother me, it's just like with an actual camera where the shutter button is on the right. We just have to adapt, I'm sure we get used to it lol
Left handers rise up!
Which one do you think is more successful just for family photos? 16 or 15 pro?
They’re both so solid for it. I’d go pro because I like having that ultra wide angle lens
@@JonAdamsTech thank you for replying
Pro models have a significantly larger sensor, which makes a big difference when shooting video in low light.
I have no idea why almost no reviewers mention this.
All of my reviewers, all the ones I own on the internet that I sent out into the world as my minions to confuse the masses who have been specifically instructed not to mention the larger sensor. We are big tech. We are inevitable.
Awesome comparison! Though still can't choose between 15 pro and 16 base model but I need a phone urgently! Please, advice! (Not obsessed with camera features)
I’d still go pro!
Watching this on my iPhone 15 pro. Love the comparison! Happy with my phone.
Nice!
Probably the biggest difference maker with the camera module (If I’m correct) is that the 16 has a new lossless file format to where it eliminates the artificial image sharpening that makes every photo and video look grainy/noisy. Huge selling point for a lazy photographer/videographer like me.
i still don’t know what iPhone to choose, cuz the iPhone 15 pro is great and smoother but im scared that is over heat like I heard and the iPhone 16 is also great, im not looking for the colors cuz i would go with the black anyway, but it still hard to choose, what would you recommend? And thanks for video, i was looking for a video like this thank you so much.
I have a video on the heating issue. Did you see it?
I have the 15 pro max … should I not be upgrading this year? I love the colors of the 16 this year. I’m not liking the natural titanium I chose last year .
I wouldn’t upgrade personally, not a big enough of a jump to upgrade.
I was waiting for this comparison. Thanks! Subscribed.
Hey I appreciate it! Which phone you gonna go with?
@@JonAdamsTech Just ordered the 15pro in blue titanium. excited for the 120Hz display!
Even if u're left handed (I’m too), the camera button makes it feel like you have a shooter, and in every camera, the shutter button is on the right side. It shouldn’t be a problem.
Truuuu
if i have an 11 im debating between the 15 pro and 16 which do you recommend
Clearly the 15 Pro!
@@Blackallthewaybattery is better on 16
2:25 why did I get nervous when you started tossing the phones like that 💀
Cause you’re a rational human being haha I definitely shouldn’t have done that!
Awesome presentation!
Hey thanks!
@@JonAdamsTech I have the iPhone 15 Pro Max for 11 months now.
I have a 15 Pro currently and I’m the furthest thing from a heavy user, basic utilities, zero social media, music & podcasts. The 15 Pro definitely has thermal issues, it gets hot with basic tasks and I know I’m not the only one that has the issue. Another issue has been battery life. My standard 13 had much better battery life even with 90% battery health. I’m debating going to the standard 16 just for battery and thermal improvements. Idgaf about ProMotion or the telephoto. I want a phone that lasts me a full 2 days and doesn’t get hot while using notes and calculator.
Then yeah if I were you I’d go to the 16, I don’t get why some folks have heating issues and some don’t
Hello! I have the iPhone XS and i need a model with better camera and battery life. Which one do you recommend? Thank you!
Hello, this video was super helpful. I am currently using iPhone 11 and thinking of upgrading. Should I get 15 pro max as it will be at a discounted price or should I get base 16?
Gonna put out a video about this later today!
Hello Jon … need your advice very badly … should I upgrade to IPhone 16 Pro from IPhone 15 considering the Camera and AI features in the long run ??? Or, should I just wait until iPhone 17 comes out ???
Personally i'd wait but it's your money so you do what you want to do. Is budget a big factor for you?
Thanks for the review! As a 24/7 phone user wouldve loved to hear the battery life comparison in the next one!
I will try and get that in next time!
I have the 15 Pro right now, but the pink iPhone 16 is calling my name! All the extra features for the pros don’t bother me since I honestly don’t use half the features.
It's definitely a pretty color!
hello did you sell ur 15 pro for 16?
The colors of the iPhone 16 models are wonderful.
@@emiel333 agreed!
change phone just for his color is wiiilllddddd
Just upgraded from iPhone 7 to the 15 Pro, I’m ready to step back into the modern era lol.
Haha that’s wild! Good on you though for not just filling up a landfill!
So here in the NL, the iPhone 16 is around 50-100 euros cheaper than the iPhone 15 pro. Would you still go for the 15 pro?
I would
Ik heb dit week de iPhone 16 gehaald. Ik heb er geen spijt van omdat de reguliere model al erg in de buurt van de ‘pro’ komt met z’n dynamic island, actieknop en cameraknop. Ja, er is geen 3e camera of 120hz scherm… maar is dat erg? 120hz merk ik niet hoor.
PS: Ik kom van de iPhone 13. En ik twijfelde enorm tussen de 15 pro en 16. Uiteindelijk de 15 pro geannuleerd en 16 gehaald. ‘Tis idd wat goedkoper en intern issie best goed
@highinanothertime7154
What is the experience of today with iphone 16
15 pro vs 16 plus. Which one is better for non-gaming?
I like the pro model
As an iPhone 8 plus user, I wanna upgrade to 15 pro or 16/16pro, I am debating between those because of the camera (I know It's a big jump from 8 to newer models ) so is it worth considering the 16 pro or should I just buy the 15 pro ...?
16 pro has battery, if you care about battery then get 16 pro...if not 15 pro is very good, lighter and smaller than 16 pro
@ thank you!!🫱🏻🫲🏼
I'd say always go with the 15 pro. It's the same price for better.
Yep!
Does the iPhone 15 Pro heat faster than the base 16 model?
And when it comes to the front camera, I’ve heard that the iPhone 15 Pro has a Grayish and Grainy output. comparing it to the base 16 iPhone which is better?
I haven’t had either of those issues.
Currently im using iPhone8 plus so means im good to upgrade to 16 or 15pro?
As long as you have the money you can.
@@JonAdamsTech yeah just torn between the two 😊
i’m torn between 15 pro max or 16 plus. What would you recommend, esp. battery wise?
I think the new chip is more frugal with respect to battery. But as much as to choose the non pro. I think it’s mostly the price that decides the pick.
16 has better battery but 15 pro is better all around in my opinion
Quick question with the 15 pro discounted on amazon for the certified renewed an is almost 99 dollars lesser than the brand new 16 , what's your take for a person that just needs a go to go ,smooth and basic phone that has a good logivity and resell value here between the iphone 16 and the iphone 15 pro?
I’d still go pro cause it’s the better phone but the 16 does have a better battery life if that’s a major concern of yours
@JonAdamsTech nah I'm not really picky on the battery side like I'm coming from a Samsung s23 and the battery was relatively average ,from my research I might get 60-70percent of what I got if I go with the 15 pro but one con is the refub I tend to stand in between since the battery tends to vary and reduce on performance and all since it was refurb I don't know if I'm right or wrong cause that's what holding back on either getting the 15pro or the 16 ATM,pls do give me your thought 😉
Nah bro if u have a s23 just get the Iphone 15 pro
@surajitdey4305 that would be me getting it renewed or certified refurbished?
In my c 16 is 1038 dollars and the 15 pro is 1168 dollars. Which one would you recommend? Thanks❤
Pro!
I think I’ll get the 15 pro with the blue Titanium my 12 has been dying faster
That’s such a beautiful phone!
Very helpful video! I finally made the decision to go with 15 pro haha.
Nice! Glad it was helpful!
Bro can I go for 15 pro Max instead of 15 pro ? Wat would be the significant difference 🤔
It would have a better battery!
@@JonAdamsTech Thank you !
Do standard models get dropped from OS and security updates sooner than pro models?
No i don’t believe so. You should fact check that but I’m fairly sure they get the same number
What of camera quality??.. Sharper image??
It’s really good
After watching this video finally ordered the 15pro!!Thank you for the review♥️
Yep, glad it was helpful! What color did you get?
I like the way you explain, sounds so positive person
Thanks!
I would still prefer the last years pro any day of the week its just much better i have a 15 pro max and i think that going to a base model iPhone if you can buy a pro in the same price just doesn’t make sense to me
100% agree! How are you liking the 15 pro max? It was too big for me
@@JonAdamsTech yeah i love it but its just too big it would have been perfect with 6.5 inch but it is what it is and the battery life is insanely good
@@aaliyankhanbaloch2967 for sure
Just upgraded my 14 pro to the 16 pro, mainly because, as a photographer, shooting in raw format is helpful (of course, I don't need to shoot in raw all the time, the regular camera on the 15/16 is just as good). I'm just hoping the regular models in future will go to 120Hz.
That's awesome! Yeah it's dope for that usage!
Would you go for a £750 refurbished iPhone 15 pro excellent condition or £899 for brand new iPhone 15 pro.
As long as I got the best deal, I’m chilling.
I don’t mind refurbished devices as long as there’s a return period
Bro i am using a samsung s23 so i wanted to upgrade to an iphone so is 15 pro better or the 16?
Of the two I’d go with the 15 pro personally.
@@JonAdamsTech thanks man
Very clean video, loving the nuphy under there. Ill be going for the iPhone 15 Pro for its promotion display
Hey I appreciate it! Yeah that nuphy is my favorite keyboard right now! What color did you go with on the 15 pro?
I have iPhone 7
Should l get iPhone 15 pro or iPhone 16 plus?
They’re both great but personally I like the pro. The 16 has insane battery life though
@@JonAdamsTech the 16 plus is better than 15 pro in battery only?
@@JonAdamsTechas I understand 15 pro battery isn’t less in performance compared to 16th battery
I need to upgrade from the regular 11. I have the chance to get the 15Pro 70€ cheaper than the regular 16. Most important things to me are the camera and the battery. Would you buy the 16 or the 15Pro?
15 pro
The battery on the 16 is better but the 15 is just so much better all around
Where can I buy the 15 pro? Looks like apple is no longer selling it.
Here’s a good one amzn.to/3NGy16V
Best and clear opinion...
Thanks!
Many people said that 15 pro has a very bad battery is that true?
No it’s fine
Here in canada the 16pro max for 256gb is 1,749$ and the 16 starts at 1,129$ for 128gb and the 16plus 128gb is 1,279$ .wich one to buy ?
which one do you want?
Please tell me which to buy for my sister birthday? i know girls like the pro models,,, but iphone 16 is better at battery life, how much one hour in advance?
Have you asked her?
@@JonAdamsTech i can't ask, it supposed to be a present:) i got headaches already...should i ask?
@@JonAdamsTech I asked her, she ended up buying iPhone 16 plus....thank you sir
If i want to buy my first iphone cause i need a better camera to do with my work..which one better 15pro or 16?
I’d go pro if it’s for work where you may need that telephoto lens
Hi Jon, look, you really hit the point and make things easy to decide. thanks for the video which was really helpful.
Greetings from Egypt.
Thanks for checking out the video!
Whats the use if 15 pro is out of stock everywhere?
Is it out of stock for you?!
How's the battery life on these two, is the base 16 noticeable better?
It is but I’d still personally go for the pro, it’s definitely an all day battery but the 16 has crazy battery life
Thanks!! I wish apple would make an og headset but with the c type cable so we can use it for. 15 and up
They still make the wired earbuds but they sound like junk
Thanks, great review 🇨🇦
Hey I appreciate it!
In my country IPhone 15 Pro is actually like 105€ more expensive than IPhone 16. Also I am based in EU, so there will be no Apple Intelligence any time soon. Taking into consideration those factors would you still choose IPhone 15 pro? There are some problems with availability of iPhone 16 tho. Many thanks for recommendations!
Yeah I’d honestly still go with the 15 pro

Thanks for the video. I am so confused. I am on a 12 mini and want to make an upgrade. iPhone 15 pro and iPhone 16 are in my budget. Now my pro owner friends want me to go for pro but my 15 plus or 15 owner friends recommend me the 16 for battery. Apparently 15 pro is not good battery wise?
Bro that battery lasts all day no problem. I’d go for the 15 pro personally
How is the battery life for the 16?
Really stinkin darn tootin good
got myself 15pro for €950 while regular 16 is for €1000, I think whoever is stuck with these two choices would be happy with iPhone 15 pro considering almost similar price tag. That extra camera on 15 pro is good, plus small form factor, 120 hz and not having that useless button for camera control is a big deal to me because it is simply impractical.
Totally agree!
At an authorised iStyle store in Europe iPhone 15 PRO (256GB) costs € 1165 and ..... 16PRO (256GB) € 1305 ...... So I don't understand the comparison between the PRO and the base 16 model.

"The always-on display with customizable widgets of iphone16 makes staying updated much easier, but I wish it didn’t drain the battery so fast."
Yeah I had to turn it off for that reason
The 16 is an incremental improvement over the 15, which was an incremental improvement over the 14, which was an incremental improvement over the 13, which was an incremental improvement over the 12. If you own any of these older iPhones, you do not need to upgrade (unless your device is dying).
They all take good photos and videos, so the camera is not a good reason to upgrade. They all play your average video game well enough, so the processor is not a good reason to upgrade.
The Action and Camera Control buttons are not a good reason to upgrade. Apple Intelligence is likely not a good reason to upgrade; this feature is too gimmicky.
My advice? Wait for a truly groundbreaking revision of the iPhone. Skip this one for now.
Totally agree!
