Yeah, that's what AI is doing and Apple can't keep up. Now you see them fudging with marketing, trying to keep the shareholders happy, while also selling a device people want to buy, despite the large markup.
I'll tell you: Back in 1997, just before Jobs return to Apple, I purchased 1,200 shares of Apple stock about about $30,000, +/-. It is worth a pretty penny in 2024! People thought I was nuts and this was in the day when people thought Apple was going to go out of business. My hopes that in the long term I could double my investment. Did that and a whole lot more.
Camera control, yes, YIKES, it's useless. I disabled it + 90% of my photos and video are vertically shot, which makes it even more difficult to use the button! :(
A couple of my friends got the 16 Pro and have no regrets. They were upgrading from the iPhone XR and safe to say the new one is 10 times better, in terms of battery, screen, cameras, etc. They didn't care about the future promise of Apple Intelligence, and I think most people are in the same boat; they just want a new phone. I for the other hand will be sticking with my 13 Pro Max for another year. Let's see what Apple has in store next year.
Yea they have no regrets bc they upgraded from a way way way outdated phone to something hot off the press. I upgraded from a base model 14 and I have to say the upgrade was useless and a waste of my money honestly
@@jacobpoole6940 yea exactly my point. Nowadays its never worth upgrading every year or 2 years. My friends will probably keep their phones for another 5 or 6 years before upgrading again
Upgraded from a broken iPhone 12 to iPhone 16 pro I love new battery and new screen and the camera quality improved but all that extra apple ai shit I don’t care for lmao
I was close to doing this. Just changed it to Double tap to activate. Still barely use it but at least I still can and I do not seem to accidentally activate it again!
@@artfartzyonly because you’ve learned to use it that way from day 1 of the iPhone. Guarantee people would be bitching if they had done a reverse and the on screen shutter button was now the new way.
2:12 this is called fighting your muscle memory, and something people tend to forget! You have to reprogram your brain to new behaviours even how to hold your phone so your finger fall just at the right place on this smart button (oups I called it a button). For some it might take a few hours and others a few months for it to feel as natural as when it wasn’t there. So take it easy and give us another videos once you’ll try it for 1,000 days to eventually build some new muscle memory (this is assuming this smart button will still be there on the iPhone 17 and 18). At this point, I’ll just be surprised if in a few months you’ll not make another video titled: ”Camera Control: I was wrong!”. But who knows? I might be wrong on that was one as well!
I bought into all the new AI crap. Upgraded to 16pro from a 12 mini. Now I’m just really happy with the upgraded screen technology, the Dynamic Island, and longer battery life. I don’t take pictures a lot but I look forward to better photos!
Still got my 12 pro max. 82% battery and running smoothly. I wanted to upgrade this year but Apple's really giving my a hard time finding a reason to do so.
And your foolish friend John just did a video saying it’s the best phone ever, he must be getting paid by Apple and your not 😂😂😂 he’s telling us £799 for 60hz is greatest ever phone, yeah right
@@skyscraper5287 agreed. My 12 Pro Max battery life sucks. The 12 PM is the first smartphone I have kept for four years. Happy to upgrade to bet a better screen, better battery life, faster chip and most importantly a better camera.
The thing about it is it’s not now. When it release ( likely in 6 months) the iPhone will be half way to iPhone 17. Everyone will lose 6 months worth of new iPhone freshness especially when the iPhone 17 comes out. Also, a side note rant…I’m completely sick of rainbows.Everything has to have a rainbow like RGB lights for PC… Google services…. So much rainbow…I think I must be living in the Color Castle in Rainbowland with Rainbow Brite eating rainbow cake wearing my Mork and Mindy rainbow suspenders.😂 Where’s my Mini, Timmy? (iPad Mini)😂
They just need to start having a 2 year model release cycle for phones like IPads…. There’s not much you can do to phones on a yearly upgrade anymore for a big difference…. Apple knew this years ago and it is why they do small updates year to year to drag it out as long as possible.
Apple doesn’t produce for the consumer. It uses the consumer as a means to produce for their shareholders. All companies do….especially publicly held companies. I think you’re 100% spot on that the release cycle should probably 18-24 months. However the shareholder demand for revenue & profits compels them to release empty products & capitalize on the unmatched loyalty & consumer intimacy that Apple holds. Written from my 16 Pro Max
@@1227Masher camera is exactly the same, old chip on 15 pro max is plenty fast, and the camera button is crap, so it's only an "upgrade" for diehard isheeps.
The hardware is literally different. I’m not exactly sure what you were hoping for but the phones aren’t the same. And this is coming from someone that actually owns a 15 PM & 16 PM.
@@lucaspanasski331 exactly the same? Go look at the specs. This isn’t true. Updated pixel sensor, ultra wide camera is 48 megapixels versus 12 on the 15. Increased optical zoom, higher (100 and 120 fps) for video recording and improved 4K and new Dolby Vision recording. But for me going from a 12 Pro Max - the change will be huge. I am not a fan boy - I don’t get a new phone every year just to have a new phone. But for you saying the camera is the same is misleading at best. Actually a flat out lie.
My battery crashes at the same time as the camera app crashes, then it tells me I don't have any photos. I switched from a Pixel to iPhone and I'm not sure I made the right choice. 😂
Nail on the head. All the reasons I am skipping the 16 series this year. Playing with the minimal functionality in 18.1 beta and so far on a 15PM and it hasn’t wowed me at all. Looks like I am waiting on 2025 and the 17.
Really appreciate the objective and critical review. Not too common for Apple-focused tech channels these days. I genuinely believe that Steve Jobs would never have allowed the iPhone 16 to have been released in its current state, with so many half-baked features, both hardware and software-wise.
I was really surprised when Apple announced the camera control. It seems so gimicky and something you would see from android. I’m holding off on my 15 pro max until it dies or remove the camera button😂
My 13 Pro Max 3 years later still strong, all day battery life brilliant camera's still. I was gonna upgrade to the 16 Pro max but don't think it's worth it, still love my 13!!
Do you play game with it? Does it have over heating issues just for doing simple tasks? Please give me feedback because I'm planning to purchase one. Thank you
@@Ellias31773 I’ve also got a 15pm and i’m pretty happy with it :) Almost all the games run really smooth and it doesn’t heat up from normal tasks. Though during charging and playing games for a long time it can get pretty hot.. like very hot.. idk if it’s just my phone or everyone’s (prob not everyone’s) but i encourage you to purchase it because there isn’t really any improvements with iphone 16
@@Ellias31773I can say I play a lot of games on my 15 pro granted it’s cod mobile so it’s a more demanding game I experience a lot of throttling and heating issues Even sometimes when I’m multi tasking like a FaceTime and maps or even when I’m streaming videos and on the phone. I literally have to put my phone on the ac vents of my car from time to time to get it to relax lol Apple needs to solve the thermal issues with their new phones especially now they are putting more advanced chips in the 16 pros I can definitely see it becoming a bigger issue correct me if I’m wrong 16 pro owners
I was at the store planning to pick up a 16 Pro Max, played around with the camera control, then, NO! Exactly as you have said, BAD PLACEMENT, UNINTUITIVE USAGE, and PROBLEMATIC CONTROLS. Just bad.
Tim Cook doesn’t care if a product is unfinished or not, like he said in the past they gonna buy it anyway… And you know what he’s right because we Apple customers are dumb and he is smart! 9:01
My thoughts about camera control: - location of this button is not right - you have to double click to open camera, whilst Action button can do it in one long click - switching between modes is not comfortable - I cannot remap it to other function - on screen it is much easier and more comfortable to switch zoom/modes And I don't use it anymore
I’m perplexed by this analysis. Apple Intelligence is a feature of its software platforms, including macOS and iPadOS, not just the iPhone 6 hardware. It’s true that Apple markets the software since the iPhone 16 runs iOS 18, but Apple frequently markets features for its hardware that users have to wait for. (Just listen to any non-US iPhone user!)
The marketing for the new iPhone is heavily reliant on having Apple Intelligence as a feature. If Apple is selling a device that features Apple Intelligence, it should be on the device at the point of sale. It's not.
I actually appreciate the camera button. But my USE of it is simple. I finally figured out how to press the button the correct way in order to toggle between camera settings. I know how to use it, but I try not to. I like it on the same two setting, zoom *or* camera switching mode. Otherwise, everything else is too cumbersome, as you mentioned in this video. I am taking more landscape photos. I’m taking more photos in general, which is different from my Z fold 4. I use to have to double click to get to camera on the Fold… I do miss the fingerprint reader…… but I digress. I’m happy with my iPhone after 10+years on Android. I give it 8.5/10, compared to my fold 4 and all the features I am no longer getting that I actually care about.
Oh I went into this video thinking there was an ACTUAL problem. Nope, it's the same "AI isn't here yet and even though Apple made that clear at WWDC, we're gonna pretend it's a big issue cause that will get people to click on our video" crap that all the tech influencers are doing.
I’ve been wanted to try android for a while but have been trapped in apples ecosystem but i still have the iPhone 13 Pro Max and im bored. I guess now is the time to switch…if I don’t like android i can always switch back, any android phones i should look at?
@@my_call what can be impressing in the smartphone world for the last 6-8 years or so? I think we’re done with the smartphone age. Nowadays, what’s important is the OS and the eco system. No one really cares about little bit better camera, or little bit faster processor. People fly to the moon in the 60’s with processor that was thousands times weaker.
Oh awesome, glad to hear it can be turned off. I’m upgrading from my 12 pro max because I’m finally caving so I can have usb-c…. but that button looks annoying 😅
I love the camera control button. I can take snapshots really quickly and that's fine. But I must admit, that this is really an unfinished iPhone, bcs they didn't give us Appel Intelligence.
why didn't they just push the release to whenever they finish the AI stuff ? isn't this unfinished product release just hurting their brand even more ? 🤷🏻♂
Because Tim “the bean counter” Cook has to make Apple as much $$$ as possible even though he and his team have no great ideas anymore to sell iPhones. To top it off they’re always behind on software with features but they HAVE to push the hardware out first because they have to make $$$ and are greedy. Simple.
I'm typing this from my home desktop, connected via ethernet cable...which I have a switch to connect and disconnect. I get on this computer once, daily for 60 minutes- max (some days I just check my email and turn it off). My phone is an AGM M8 security+. I have a Garmin GPS if traveling somewhere unfamiliar or long distance. My life has been so much better this way. More technology and connectivity is, truly, the root of high anxiety.
Still have iPhone 13 Pro. Was going to get the 16 Pro this year but as I live in the EU, I'm probably not even getting Apple Intelligence this year so I'm going to wait for the 17 Pro. :P
All iphones have a problem...One of many is no posiblitiy to make icons smaller, you have a big screen and big Icons, like why? There is no way to make the volume lower than the lowest default volume while on the call, also no way to silence the dialpad tones, except muting the phone...Who does that serve?
Why would you want to you have the 15 so the features will be available on the 15 I have the 13PM and I’m on the fence my battery is crap and want the better battery but if I wait till the 17 or maybe 18 I just don’t know I’ll probably wait till the 16 is out for awhile and see how the public responds to it and see how Apple will respond to the features and the public
@@kamikazekid94I have iPhone 13 PM and it’s not yet the time to upgrade. I’ll wait till iPhone 17 and AT&T will still pay $1000 trade in for this Apple Junk.
@@kamikazekid94 I just wanna let you know, battery isn’t better than the 13pms. I upgrade every year because I get good money for 1 year phones on ebay, so I have to put ~200-300€ in, but not 14pm, not 15pm neither the 16pm comes close to the battery life the 13pm had! No idea how apple did that, but my gf used my old 13pm till this year, and the battery wasn’t that good anymore, but sadly compareble to the 15pm after a year of usage and even the 16pm doesn’t really live longer compared to the 13pm having only 84% capacity left
I'm thinking the same tbh. I have a 13 that I got last year back in March (1.5 years old now), and I'm definitely waiting at least 1-2 more years before upgrading this thing. Gonna be a HUGE jump.
13 Pro Max here and I was really wanting to upgrade to the 16 Pro Max this year, but I’m so glad I didn’t. This unfinished phone is a joke, and for the money I’ll be paying for, better for me to wait for the 17 Pro Max
The one thing that most don’t tell you is there’s no micro SIM card. Guy told me the U.S. versions get turned on by the carrier. I’m stuck with my plus iPhone 16 now. If it cracks what do I do for a phone
They might have intentionally put it in the middle, just coz when we watch videos or some movies and gotto hold your phone. You exactly have to touch it on the camera button. Which keeps touching everytime and its a disturbance ofcourse.
Mark my words, if Apple does not innovate or provide some sort of evolution to the iPhone 17 lineup, that will be the beginning of the end for iPhone. They have been milking the same design since 2019, it needs to stop or face the consequences.
I upgraded from an 11 pro to the 16 pro. Huge improvement… and I see the 16 as an opportunity to explore the new AI features as they come out. I think having a hardware platform that is ready to AI and can be upgraded with software is better than buying new hardware every year. 😊
I’m kinda tired of people saying this phone is unfinished. You would have complained if they didn’t release one so… meet them in the middle. This stuff is hard.
im confused what do you call it then when you release a product without features that were announced on launch? & yeah sure people would be shocked for a minute since they are used to their launches every year but this makes them look worse in the long run. It shows they care more about pumping out products than actual quality and "innovation" that they held themselves to
I’ve seen multiple minor issues 1. Random Siri issues - simply doesn’t work. 2. Internet stops working 3. Apple Maps dimming the music volume and then it doesn’t come back to normal value. 4. Keyboard copy option randomly goes away. 5. Camera control button keeps on zooming when I click. 6. I’ve set flashlight via action button and by mistake when it’s ON and I touch the camera button, the camera although doesn’t start however the flashing goes OFF. 7. When selecting text to copy the page never scrolls along with my thumb - I need to manually scroll it and then move the select cursor to select until the text I need. It simply doesn’t feel value for money.
It is completely stupid. I tried it out and was really disappointed. Apple is not innovating so I’ll be waiting for next yesrs iPhone. This iPhone capture button is a failure
Quit expecting ground breaking or immediate innovation on most things. I just upgraded to the 16 Pro Max from a 12 Pro max, largely for charging speeds, and because I was bored with a $1000 off deal and disposable income. The 12 did everything I NEEDED. It made calls, it it sent texts and emails and I used RUclips and streamed iTunes. It also collects my pictures of my dogs. That’s how I used it. People need to lower their expectations of phone companies to release mind blowing hardware upgrades every year or two. Instead enjoy what you have especially if it’s paid off. Less debt more happy 😃
@4:51 Why are you complaining about this as if you didn't know or as if Apple didn't announce to the world that AI was coming much later. Then you make a video and act surprised....
My wife got the pro... and as a Samsung fanboy, even I discovered that the camera button placement fits the finger placement of a forward-facing selfie grip (not that any of us guys really enjoy taking pictures that way, but it worked for me when taking a family selfie). I guess it's all about perspective, but Apple has at least taken a more innovative risk (good or bad) than Samsung this year. I am a S22 Ultra user and for the first time in 14 years, I saw Samsung take away more on their phone than add and innovate. It was enough for me to hop over the picket fence for a year. I am refreshed by your blunt perspective though... I think both sides of the phone industry are way too biased now days.
As someone with small hands, and right handed, I use the camera control all the time now - using my thumb not fingers! I went for the smaller Pro this year and I can easily launch, control and take photos with that control now. The smaller Pro is definitely more optimal for that control and where it’s situated.
Hi, I’ve tried the iPhone 16 pro and found that camera control a bit of a faff to use. I still use my iPhone 12 Pro Max and fined it easer. Plus as you say half the features aren’t available on it yet so I would hold of buying until at least the end of the year to see how it works plus they have ironed out the bugs which it will have. I normally swop my phones when it won’t take the latest iOS update so I’m likely to change next year. Thanks for a honest review.
Maybe … 25% clickbait, the software its a big problema not being ready … the button a inconvenience/disappointment… for me… only the ios keeps me on iphone… hope they don’t screw that up!! If they screw up the software, i’m out!
I wnt from iPhone 11 to a 16 Pro. I'm perfectly happy. My 11 has become my nighttime phone for the bedroom and my 16 Pro is a big upgrade especially the cameras and 5G.
0:18 it’s the same phone. It hasn’t shipped with AI features. If you wanted AI features you kinda already got them through other apps. It’s the same phone. Apple is really going to start losing loyal customers. The phone has been the same for 6 phone cycles in a row. Squaring the edges and then slightly rounding them again is not a redesign. Going from a notch to a pill is not a redesign. They need to do something new and they need to do something shiny because they are getting stale. Switching from stainless steel to titanium is not a redesign the average consumer who buys the phone does not care.
So basically if they don’t redesign the body of the phone every year it means it’s the same phone lol is that how basic your mind works? That’s like saying all cars are the same because they all have four wheels. It’s more about what’s under the hood than the frame buddy
Every company is stale. There isn't one company out there who is innovative. I had the s23 ultra. I downgraded to the a15. Literally nothing exciting about phones. I will get the iphone 17 pro max when it comes out though, cuz iphone's camera is way ahead of samsung.
As a beta tester I've been enjoying some Apple Intelligence features on my iPhone 15 Pro way before some iPhone 16 Pro users, that is mind boggling to me!
Man I sometimes hate all of you “influencers” with your clickbait titles. The two “problems” you pointed out, and the fact that you claim that the physical iPhone is the first unfinished iPhone, is complete bullshit. The Camera control button does actually work (which you later admit to) with more features coming soon which Apple made clear. And the new Siri with Apple Intelligence, Apple made VERY clear was coming later in the year (which is actually coming sooner than that, and is already here if you are on the Public Beta which anyone can join.) So if you were actually honest, you’d know that Apple Intelligence wouldn’t be on your new phone yet, and you wouldn’t have spread FUD claiming the new iPhone is unfinished… it’s pure Hyperbole for the sake of getting as many views as possible, and THAT’S what I hate about “influencers” - disingenuous at the least, flat out liars at the most, all for the views…
I'm really frustrated with my iPhone 16 Pro Max; data transfer was extremely slow, and after a day, there was no sound when watching videos, even though my Wi-Fi is good. I regret switching phones-when I went to the store, they said everything was fine, but it clearly wasn't. After replacing it, I'm now facing new issues: the camera keeps turning off and on, requiring constant restarts, and the online shopping app keeps returning to the home screen. I'm exhausted from all the back and forth with the store.
I have the 16 Pro it seems pretty complete to me. It does everything takes pictures/video, makes calls, RUclips, etc…. Don’t care for the marketing if you see the ad “skip it”.
I ordered my my 16 Pro Max. I don’t know what all the fuses about. Yeah the camera button is not the greatest thing ever invented. It’s just an add-on to a great phone and in my opinion still somewhat useful in some ways I don’t see a problem with it at all.😊

@@PS3rullsI had a 13 pro & traded it in and got my iPhone 16 pro for free through AT&T. So it’s definitely an upgrade that was worth it.
The thing about it is it’s not now. When it release ( likely in 6 months) the iPhone will be half way to iPhone 17.
Everyone will lose 6 months worth of new iPhone freshness especially when the iPhone 17 comes out.
Also, a side note rant…I’m completely sick of rainbows.Everything has to have a rainbow like RGB lights for PC…
Google services…. So much rainbow…I think I must be living in the Color Castle in Rainbowland with Rainbow Brite eating rainbow cake wearing my Mork and Mindy rainbow suspenders.😂
Where’s my Mini, Timmy? (iPad Mini)😂
If Steve Jobs were around we would have had Fold, Flip phone, a Ring, and an Apple car. Apple has stopped innovating.
Tesla is going to eat Apple alive with the PI phone.
They just need to start having a 2 year model release cycle for phones like IPads…. There’s not much you can do to phones on a yearly upgrade anymore for a big difference…. Apple knew this years ago and it is why they do small updates year to year to drag it out as long as possible.
That would absolutely decimate their stock price. Your idea is a non-starter.
@@my_call just wait 4 years so there is more than 1 thing different from previous year model 😂 to upgrade
Apple doesn’t produce for the consumer. It uses the consumer as a means to produce for their shareholders. All companies do….especially publicly held companies.
I think you’re 100% spot on that the release cycle should probably 18-24 months.
However the shareholder demand for revenue & profits compels them to release empty products & capitalize on the unmatched loyalty & consumer intimacy that Apple holds.
Written from my 16 Pro Max
Apple just didn’t have a product this year so resold last years with promised features coming later.
This was a very easy upgrade to skip this year.
@@M0ike a new larger screen, camera button, new chip, better camera…hardly last years phone.
‘s’ year at best.
@@1227Masher camera is exactly the same, old chip on 15 pro max is plenty fast, and the camera button is crap, so it's only an "upgrade" for diehard isheeps.
The hardware is literally different. I’m not exactly sure what you were hoping for but the phones aren’t the same. And this is coming from someone that actually owns a 15 PM & 16 PM.
@@lucaspanasski331 exactly the same? Go look at the specs. This isn’t true. Updated pixel sensor, ultra wide camera is 48 megapixels versus 12 on the 15. Increased optical zoom, higher (100 and 120 fps) for video recording and improved 4K and new Dolby Vision recording.
But for me going from a 12 Pro Max - the change will be huge. I am not a fan boy - I don’t get a new phone every year just to have a new phone. But for you saying the camera is the same is misleading at best. Actually a flat out lie.
What are Apple engineers doing ? Everyone at Apple got way to lazy, horrible.
Camera crashes frequently! No solution even after software upgrade
My battery crashes at the same time as the camera app crashes, then it tells me I don't have any photos. I switched from a Pixel to iPhone and I'm not sure I made the right choice. 😂
Nail on the head. All the reasons I am skipping the 16 series this year. Playing with the minimal functionality in 18.1 beta and so far on a 15PM and it hasn’t wowed me at all. Looks like I am waiting on 2025 and the 17.
Really appreciate the objective and critical review. Not too common for Apple-focused tech channels these days. I genuinely believe that Steve Jobs would never have allowed the iPhone 16 to have been released in its current state, with so many half-baked features, both hardware and software-wise.
Apple is pulling a Google with this one. Release something and then improve it with software updates later
I think so too
CAMERA CONTROL IS A GIMMICK
I was really surprised when Apple announced the camera control. It seems so gimicky and something you would see from android. I’m holding off on my 15 pro max until it dies or remove the camera button😂
Why would the remove it it’s like removing the action button
Your chilling cause u have a 15 pro max, no need to upgrade even if good features
@@JohnGertz-e1b The action button is more usefull imo.
I hope they remove that button on the 17 or at least make a version without this button so we can choose.
The Camera Control button is a feature Samsung would have come out with three or four years ago and then quietly killed
Welcome to the new world…
Companies just selling crap, crappy service and empty promises.
My 13 Pro Max 3 years later still strong, all day battery life brilliant camera's still. I was gonna upgrade to the 16 Pro max but don't think it's worth it, still love my 13!!
The major problem of this phone is.. weight ..thickness.and bank robber price😂
Thank you for actually being honest about this phone it’s rare that content creators tell us the whole truth like this!
I still have my 15 pro max. Not getting an unfinished phone . I’ll wait for next year .
Do you play game with it? Does it have over heating issues just for doing simple tasks? Please give me feedback because I'm planning to purchase one. Thank you
@@Ellias31773 I’ve also got a 15pm and i’m pretty happy with it :) Almost all the games run really smooth and it doesn’t heat up from normal tasks. Though during charging and playing games for a long time it can get pretty hot.. like very hot.. idk if it’s just my phone or everyone’s (prob not everyone’s) but i encourage you to purchase it because there isn’t really any improvements with iphone 16
@@Ellias31773 No overheating issues.
@@Ellias31773I can say I play a lot of games on my 15 pro granted it’s cod mobile so it’s a more demanding game
I experience a lot of throttling and heating issues
Even sometimes when I’m multi tasking like a FaceTime and maps or even when I’m streaming videos and on the phone.
I literally have to put my phone on the ac vents of my car from time to time to get it to relax lol
Apple needs to solve the thermal issues with their new phones especially now they are putting more advanced chips in the 16 pros I can definitely see it becoming a bigger issue correct me if I’m wrong 16 pro owners
I was at the store planning to pick up a 16 Pro Max, played around with the camera control, then, NO! Exactly as you have said, BAD PLACEMENT, UNINTUITIVE USAGE, and PROBLEMATIC CONTROLS. Just bad.
Tim Cook doesn’t care if a product is unfinished or not, like he said in the past they gonna buy it anyway… And you know what he’s right because we Apple customers are dumb and he is smart! 9:01
Not only that everybody is doing this strategy now u see the gaming world doing the same thing. Games get finish with updates its BS
My thoughts about camera control:
- location of this button is not right
- you have to double click to open camera, whilst Action button can do it in one long click
- switching between modes is not comfortable
- I cannot remap it to other function
- on screen it is much easier and more comfortable to switch zoom/modes
And I don't use it anymore
I’m perplexed by this analysis. Apple Intelligence is a feature of its software platforms, including macOS and iPadOS, not just the iPhone 6 hardware.
It’s true that Apple markets the software since the iPhone 16 runs iOS 18, but Apple frequently markets features for its hardware that users have to wait for. (Just listen to any non-US iPhone user!)
Exactly!
Lol theres not much significant improvement from the hardware apart from better battery life ig
The marketing for the new iPhone is heavily reliant on having Apple Intelligence as a feature. If Apple is selling a device that features Apple Intelligence, it should be on the device at the point of sale. It's not.
Its not the point. The point is that Apple os advertising it like this. And that what is just wrong at this point in time.
I actually appreciate the camera button. But my USE of it is simple. I finally figured out how to press the button the correct way in order to toggle between camera settings. I know how to use it, but I try not to. I like it on the same two setting, zoom *or* camera switching mode.
Otherwise, everything else is too cumbersome, as you mentioned in this video. I am taking more landscape photos. I’m taking more photos in general, which is different from my Z fold 4. I use to have to double click to get to camera on the Fold…
I do miss the fingerprint reader…… but I digress. I’m happy with my iPhone after 10+years on Android. I give it 8.5/10, compared to my fold 4 and all the features I am no longer getting that I actually care about.
I love my 16 pro , it’s a upgrade from my 14 pro to me , the camera button has already came handy in a few situations
Apple has really butchered the release of iPhone 16 and ios18. This honestly makes them look awful.
I made the decision to wait for the 17 after reading reviews and doing a deeper dive at the Apple Store. Damn.
Me too
Oh I went into this video thinking there was an ACTUAL problem.
Nope, it's the same "AI isn't here yet and even though Apple made that clear at WWDC, we're gonna pretend it's a big issue cause that will get people to click on our video" crap that all the tech influencers are doing.
I’ve been wanted to try android for a while but have been trapped in apples ecosystem but i still have the iPhone 13 Pro Max and im bored. I guess now is the time to switch…if I don’t like android i can always switch back, any android phones i should look at?
I just switched from a iphone to a galaxy s24 + got it when samsung was running a deal. And I am really enjoying the experience.
get the s24 ultra or wait for the s25 ultra
S24 Ultra far too big. Plus model far nicer!
Hi guys,to fix camera control button go to Accessibility,Camera control and change from Default to Lighter,works so much better😉✌️
In EU Apple intelligence is not even a thing, so for us, there’s literally no point to “upgrade”.
But what about all those amazing year over year device upgrades? Aren't you suckered, ah, I mean, impressed?!
@@my_call what can be impressing in the smartphone world for the last 6-8 years or so?
I think we’re done with the smartphone age. Nowadays, what’s important is the OS and the eco system.
No one really cares about little bit better camera, or little bit faster processor.
People fly to the moon in the 60’s with processor that was thousands times weaker.
the rumors for this phone was what killed it for me. there was literally nothing new, it was the first year i completely missed the keynote on
I just turned that button off in my camera settings on my 16 pro I’ll never ever use it
Oh awesome, glad to hear it can be turned off. I’m upgrading from my 12 pro max because I’m finally caving so I can have usb-c…. but that button looks annoying 😅
And that’s for the USA. In Europe those features won’t be in most European countries before the iPhone 17. That’s unacceptable.
I love the camera control button. I can take snapshots really quickly and that's fine. But I must admit, that this is really an unfinished iPhone, bcs they didn't give us Appel Intelligence.
watching on my s24 ultra 😊. My camera button, aka power button, opens up my camera as smooth as ever with no issues at all
why didn't they just push the release to whenever they finish the AI stuff ? isn't this unfinished product release just hurting their brand even more ? 🤷🏻♂
Because Tim “the bean counter” Cook has to make Apple as much $$$ as possible even though he and his team have no great ideas anymore to sell iPhones. To top it off they’re always behind on software with features but they HAVE to push the hardware out first because they have to make $$$ and are greedy. Simple.
Cause Its a feature? Its like an update you get for updating the IOS
I'm typing this from my home desktop, connected via ethernet cable...which I have a switch to connect and disconnect. I get on this computer once, daily for 60 minutes- max (some days I just check my email and turn it off). My phone is an AGM M8 security+. I have a Garmin GPS if traveling somewhere unfamiliar or long distance. My life has been so much better this way. More technology and connectivity is, truly, the root of high anxiety.
I rather wait till all Apple Intelligence releases. For now I’ll stick with my iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Exact same, I’m holding my iPhone 14 Pro Max and extending my Care. I’ll wait for the 17 pro max and hopefully Intelligence is fully baked.
Same
14 pro (& pro max) are the last durable iPhone.
Still have iPhone 13 Pro. Was going to get the 16 Pro this year but as I live in the EU, I'm probably not even getting Apple Intelligence this year so I'm going to wait for the 17 Pro. :P

All iphones have a problem...One of many is no posiblitiy to make icons smaller, you have a big screen and big Icons, like why? There is no way to make the volume lower than the lowest default volume while on the call, also no way to silence the dialpad tones, except muting the phone...Who does that serve?
Time saver. He gets to the point at about 1:00.
All they’re doing is selling you an extra button that honestly you didn’t even really need
This is my first year not upgrading. I have the 15 pro max!
Why would you want to you have the 15 so the features will be available on the 15 I have the 13PM and I’m on the fence my battery is crap and want the better battery but if I wait till the 17 or maybe 18 I just don’t know I’ll probably wait till the 16 is out for awhile and see how the public responds to it and see how Apple will respond to the features and the public
@@kamikazekid94I have iPhone 13 PM and it’s not yet the time to upgrade. I’ll wait till iPhone 17 and AT&T will still pay $1000 trade in for this Apple Junk.
@@kamikazekid94 I just wanna let you know, battery isn’t better than the 13pms. I upgrade every year because I get good money for 1 year phones on ebay, so I have to put ~200-300€ in, but not 14pm, not 15pm neither the 16pm comes close to the battery life the 13pm had! No idea how apple did that, but my gf used my old 13pm till this year, and the battery wasn’t that good anymore, but sadly compareble to the 15pm after a year of usage and even the 16pm doesn’t really live longer compared to the 13pm having only 84% capacity left
Same and my 15pm is amazing still
Don’t upgrade it’s a waste of money
Let's hope Apple provides a finished product in version 17; it is the first time they missed the deadline.
Naw playa. You were jumping for joy 2 weeks ago 😂😂😂
Creative comment!
Actually no, it’s not, I changed my mind, see how that works?
I haven’t purchased a new phone for 7yrs and this phone feels great and I’m so glad I chose to upgrade now.
I own a 13 and will be waiting for the 17
I'm thinking the same tbh. I have a 13 that I got last year back in March (1.5 years old now), and I'm definitely waiting at least 1-2 more years before upgrading this thing. Gonna be a HUGE jump.
Same!!! I have the iPhone 13 Pro Max and I’m waiting next year because AT&T will still honor the $1000 trade in next year. So gotta wait it out.
13 Pro Max here and I was really wanting to upgrade to the 16 Pro Max this year, but I’m so glad I didn’t. This unfinished phone is a joke, and for the money I’ll be paying for, better for me to wait for the 17 Pro Max
The one thing that most don’t tell you is there’s no micro SIM card. Guy told me the U.S. versions get turned on by the carrier. I’m stuck with my plus iPhone 16 now. If it cracks what do I do for a phone
Apparently Apple just pushed out an update that fixes the camera control.
They might have intentionally put it in the middle, just coz when we watch videos or some movies and gotto hold your phone. You exactly have to touch it on the camera button. Which keeps touching everytime and its a disturbance ofcourse.
Mark my words, if Apple does not innovate or provide some sort of evolution to the iPhone 17 lineup, that will be the beginning of the end for iPhone. They have been milking the same design since 2019, it needs to stop or face the consequences.
I upgraded from an 11 pro to the 16 pro. Huge improvement… and I see the 16 as an opportunity to explore the new AI features as they come out. I think having a hardware platform that is ready to AI and can be upgraded with software is better than buying new hardware every year. 😊
I’m kinda tired of people saying this phone is unfinished. You would have complained if they didn’t release one so… meet them in the middle. This stuff is hard.
im confused what do you call it then when you release a product without features that were announced on launch? & yeah sure people would be shocked for a minute since they are used to their launches every year but this makes them look worse in the long run. It shows they care more about pumping out products than actual quality and "innovation" that they held themselves to
I’ve seen multiple minor issues
1. Random Siri issues - simply doesn’t work.
2. Internet stops working
3. Apple Maps dimming the music volume and then it doesn’t come back to normal value.
4. Keyboard copy option randomly goes away.
5. Camera control button keeps on zooming when I click.
6. I’ve set flashlight via action button and by mistake when it’s ON and I touch the camera button, the camera although doesn’t start however the flashing goes OFF.
7. When selecting text to copy the page never scrolls along with my thumb - I need to manually scroll it and then move the select cursor to select until the text I need.
It simply doesn’t feel value for money.
Apple finally got lazy
It is completely stupid. I tried it out and was really disappointed. Apple is not innovating so I’ll be waiting for next yesrs iPhone. This iPhone capture button is a failure
Quit expecting ground breaking or immediate innovation on most things. I just upgraded to the 16 Pro Max from a 12 Pro max, largely for charging speeds, and because I was bored with a $1000 off deal and disposable income. The 12 did everything I NEEDED. It made calls, it it sent texts and emails and I used RUclips and streamed iTunes. It also collects my pictures of my dogs. That’s how I used it. People need to lower their expectations of phone companies to release mind blowing hardware upgrades every year or two. Instead enjoy what you have especially if it’s paid off. Less debt more happy 😃
I’m watching on my iPhone 16 Pro, it’s been great but not much better than my old 14 Pro

APPLE 🍏 IS GETTING TO BIG,LIKE THEY DON’T CARE ANYMORE..
My wife got the pro... and as a Samsung fanboy, even I discovered that the camera button placement fits the finger placement of a forward-facing selfie grip (not that any of us guys really enjoy taking pictures that way, but it worked for me when taking a family selfie). I guess it's all about perspective, but Apple has at least taken a more innovative risk (good or bad) than Samsung this year. I am a S22 Ultra user and for the first time in 14 years, I saw Samsung take away more on their phone than add and innovate. It was enough for me to hop over the picket fence for a year.
I am refreshed by your blunt perspective though... I think both sides of the phone industry are way too biased now days.
Next day ooooohhhh noooi it doesn’t have any problems
As someone with small hands, and right handed, I use the camera control all the time now - using my thumb not fingers! I went for the smaller Pro this year and I can easily launch, control and take photos with that control now. The smaller Pro is definitely more optimal for that control and where it’s situated.
i love my camera control 😂 it’s easy to use 🥳
in fact it’s the reason i switched. and also the screen bezels omg i love it! don’t get the the normal 16 you will regret it.. it’s so noticeable.
also turn off the clean preview in the settings. it sure helps a lot. well, at least for me. enjoy your iphone anyways! ☺️
It’s a bit buggy. It will improve but right now it’s clunky
Hi, I’ve tried the iPhone 16 pro and found that camera control a bit of a faff to use. I still use my iPhone 12 Pro Max and fined it easer. Plus as you say half the features aren’t available on it yet so I would hold of buying until at least the end of the year to see how it works plus they have ironed out the bugs which it will have. I normally swop my phones when it won’t take the latest iOS update so I’m likely to change next year. Thanks for a honest review.
Clickbait channel
Maybe … 25% clickbait, the software its a big problema not being ready … the button a inconvenience/disappointment… for me… only the ios keeps me on iphone… hope they don’t screw that up!! If they screw up the software, i’m out!
I wnt from iPhone 11 to a 16 Pro. I'm perfectly happy. My 11 has become my nighttime phone for the bedroom and my 16 Pro is a big upgrade especially the cameras and 5G.
0:18 it’s the same phone. It hasn’t shipped with AI features. If you wanted AI features you kinda already got them through other apps. It’s the same phone. Apple is really going to start losing loyal customers. The phone has been the same for 6 phone cycles in a row. Squaring the edges and then slightly rounding them again is not a redesign. Going from a notch to a pill is not a redesign. They need to do something new and they need to do something shiny because they are getting stale. Switching from stainless steel to titanium is not a redesign the average consumer who buys the phone does not care.
So basically if they don’t redesign the body of the phone every year it means it’s the same phone lol is that how basic your mind works? That’s like saying all cars are the same because they all have four wheels. It’s more about what’s under the hood than the frame buddy
The only phone that changed this year was the Pixel so… you’re whining about something everyone is doing and it’s moot.
Every company is stale. There isn't one company out there who is innovative. I had the s23 ultra. I downgraded to the a15. Literally nothing exciting about phones. I will get the iphone 17 pro max when it comes out though, cuz iphone's camera is way ahead of samsung.
@@randomthoughtreviews3101not everybody cares about what's under the hood. Some people like a physical redesign.
Maybe not in USA. Folds are amazing, but Apple is not prepared for them. They barely have 60hz on base iPhone, what a shame.@@BradMcquaidd
I beg to differ, I’ve mastered the camera control very easily and once you do, it’s handy and fluent

As a beta tester I've been enjoying some Apple Intelligence features on my iPhone 15 Pro way before some iPhone 16 Pro users, that is mind boggling to me!
Man I sometimes hate all of you “influencers” with your clickbait titles. The two “problems” you pointed out, and the fact that you claim that the physical iPhone is the first unfinished iPhone, is complete bullshit. The Camera control button does actually work (which you later admit to) with more features coming soon which Apple made clear. And the new Siri with Apple Intelligence, Apple made VERY clear was coming later in the year (which is actually coming sooner than that, and is already here if you are on the Public Beta which anyone can join.)
So if you were actually honest, you’d know that Apple Intelligence wouldn’t be on your new phone yet, and you wouldn’t have spread FUD claiming the new iPhone is unfinished… it’s pure Hyperbole for the sake of getting as many views as possible, and THAT’S what I hate about “influencers” - disingenuous at the least, flat out liars at the most, all for the views…
i know right! and him saying the features won't be coming until the iphone 17 such bs! he knows hes just tryna scare peolpe to get the clicks.
I'm really frustrated with my iPhone 16 Pro Max; data transfer was extremely slow, and after a day, there was no sound when watching videos, even though my Wi-Fi is good. I regret switching phones-when I went to the store, they said everything was fine, but it clearly wasn't. After replacing it, I'm now facing new issues: the camera keeps turning off and on, requiring constant restarts, and the online shopping app keeps returning to the home screen. I'm exhausted from all the back and forth with the store.
I have the 16 Pro it seems pretty complete to me. It does everything takes pictures/video, makes calls, RUclips, etc….
Don’t care for the marketing if you see the ad “skip it”.
I ordered my my 16 Pro Max. I don’t know what all the fuses about. Yeah the camera button is not the greatest thing ever invented. It’s just an add-on to a great phone and in my opinion still somewhat useful in some ways I don’t see a problem with it at all.😊
