Just upgraded from an iPhone 5 to the iPhone 16 Pro. Yes, you read that correctly. The difference is absolutely mind blowing.

This reviewer is very direct and that what makes them great. They also do not miss any details while keeping their video(s) short. kudos! I kinda wish you'll do a long term reviews soon.

Will is becoming a bit of a unit these days 💪

Just switched over from the 12 pro today. No complaints, cool phone

iphone16 pro, I am very excited for 27 yrs I am an android user this will be my first time to use apple products... hopefully I can cope up... Thanks GSMarena for the amazing review....

Iphone 16 pro made me feel like I have to own an iPhone after all. It's really customizable compared to previous models. I do like USB-C connectivity implemented starting with Iphone 15 series. This 16 pro is premium, has compact build and bezel less screen. #iPhone16pro my favorite of all iphone devices out there. Thanks for the in-depth review @GSMarena #GSMarenaTeam

The iPhone 15 Pro will be my favourite of all the iPhone Pro models.

I liked the 6.3 inch display on the iPhone 16 Pro.
But, i really wish it has a 85mm equivalent focal length or 3.5x telephoto cam with a bigger sensor.

I mean I’m loving my iPhone 16 Pro. Got it on launch but I was coming from the iPhone 12 Pro Max so it was time for me to get a new one. So it feels great to me.

[mercxstandoff]

Planing on taking either 15 pro max or 16 pro which might be better?

[htetwaiyan]

although i cannot afford iphones, i always watch😅 the reviews

[xidney]

Can you please do a review on how wireless chargers affect battery life or is it really bad like they say?

[Aetherna]

Do you also have touch screen issue?

I have this issue Since 18.1 until now 18.2 iOS

[Tealtealr]

It will be the best iphone to buy next year

[javidmurvatovYT]

Should I get the white one or the gold one?

[harishnair]

Isn't the camera 48MP instead of 12MP mentioned on the video? 🤔

[mandalorianroby]

what's wrong with me? i have it for a week and i'm still watching reviews about it lol
bought the black titanium 512gb model. it's my first iphone and so far i'm loving it. planning to keep it for a couple years

[joeylorenzo]

GSMarena, which is better xiaomi 14T pro vs samsung S24 gracias.

[guy]

Going with the natural titanium on the iPhone 16 Pro. I’ve had my iPhone 11 for 5 years. Any tips to someone who’s skipping to current gen?

[Entertainment-sugt]

Thinking of ubgrading from my OnePlus 8. It's been almost 5 years, though 1+8 didn't disappoint me at all

[nikh]

The one where Will's biceps are more impressive than the phone he is reviewing!
