Picking out my new iPhone! - iPhone 16 and 16 Pro

The new iPhones are finally here and Linus is finally getting rid of his Galaxy Note 9, but with so many different iPhones, which one will he choose? With high price tags and similar specs and features, the decision might be harder than you'd think...

As someone who has gone towards the mentality of " phones are good enough for years/don't need a new one every 1-2" I feel ill wait. I also think that Linus is right with going for a base model this year. I'm all for getting the best processor, battery, etc, but the base model is only barely behind the pros this year.

[Mr.JimPickens]

I wonder where linus gets his wallpapers from... They look cool.

[DozIT]

Linus should be in thumbnail! I almost scrolled past until I noticed it was the LMG video I’ve been waiting for!

[StuffTested]

If the regular 16 had 120hz refresh rate, it would be an easy pick.

[saprikt]

Cant believe the misinformation being spread here! Its the
You forgot the trademark!

[Me-dpjz]

i bought a 16 pro, i upgraded from a iphone xr

[aimanicose]

Nice wallpaper there. Where can I get it for my phone?

[seljd]

he's going back to Note 9 after this

[D-S-]

My Galaxy note 10 is falling to pieces - if I want to use the camera I have to take the back off because the glass is broken. Just two family members who need upgrades before I get mine.

[sensnowy]

about the action button, you can set it so it has a different function depending on location, time, rotation of the phone or if a different app is open.

[costafilh]

You know what would go great with your new phone?

A $50/year wallpaper app subscription!

[MrPatateHead]

Not giving him the pink version is a missed opportunity.

[insainllama]

I think they chose the location for the camera button based on the 5G antenna location.

[AxidFn]

so it has the same screen but the non pro somehow isn't 120hz? sounds to me like they are locking it

[kalpamonx]

5:32 that's for the next year's model. Remember how they did the same with volume/power buttons on the 12 vs 13. 13 had better placements

[jevans]

“And a sim card removal tool” oh must be nice, (Cries in American)

[DozIT]

All storage criticisms are valid, though I would appreciate Linus opening storage manager in 30 or 60 days just to see usage. I’ve had a 15 Pro 256 GB for a year now, even restored from backup during setup and I’m at 103 GB used. Would be cutting it close if I only had 128, but still would not be hitting that limit.

[bradenfitzpatrick]

Apple’s up-charges are crazy for storage but Samsung and google both ship their flagships with 128gb of standard right?

[Silveraga]

I’m surprised you did not mention the fact the battery life is better on the 16 pro vs the 16. That’s the reason i choose the 16 pro. (16 plus is too big for me).

unless i missed you saying it in the video, is so my bad

[sturdybutter]

Linus, you don’t want the action button to be a toggle. Trust me. It’s gonna turn your camera/flashlight or whatever it’s programmed to on all the time and kill your battery and make you look like a boomer with your phone flashlight constantly on.
