I have a great suggestion… create a chart and compare new phone to older phones and ask - “should you upgrade at this phone level?” - very few upgrade every year, but we who have 3-4 year old 12’s and 13’s are much more curious how it compares.

[mohammedfaiisal]

Honestly speaking, phones are so similar now, that you don't notice any differences. I have a 13 pro max and used the 16 pro max for 4 days and it wasn't much different at all to my 3 year old phone. So people went from upgrading every 1-2 years, to every 3-4 but personally, I wouldn't upgrade, even if I had an 11/12 pro max. Because it really isn't that much different. 11 maybe, because of the shape and size. But I liked the 11 pro max. That was a nice feeling phone. Nowadays, a person should take care of their phone. Don't charge it to 100% or don't let it go below 20% and your phones battery health will be fine and then you don't need to update until the phone stops supporting software updates. So if you even have an XS max. Hold onto it for one more year and then upgrade to the 17. The 17 will have a smaller dynamic island, 24mp front camera, 48mp telephoto camera, possibly some vapor cooling chamber inside it and maybe a new and improved main lens. Since we've had the same one since the 14 pro max. So 3 iPhones in a row. Maybe that will get some upgrades next year and also 12gb of ram is also rumoured. So having all those upgrades is worth hanging on to the XS Max or newer. The regular 16 pro, will feel like an 11 pro max. Because of the similarities in size. I miss the 11 pro max design. It was so nice to hold that

I was thinking of getting an iPhone 16 Pro - went to the Apple store - tried out all the iPhone 16 models - the camera control button was less than appealing; fiddly, in the wrong position for comfortable use, and considering it takes less that 1 second to go to and use the controls on the screen, it’s pretty much just a gimmick, and a poorly thought out gimmick at that. I much prefer the ease of use of my iPhone 15 Pro, and difference in photo quality is so minimal it would be a real stretch to call it an upgrade of any merit. I’m sticking with my 15 Pro.

11:11 just wanted to correct one thing here because you made a mistake - the 16 doesn’t have the 15 Pro Max camera, the 15 Pro/Max main sensor is actually still larger but less advanced. The 16 has the regular 15 main sensor. The only main sensor change this year, were the Pro models which got the stacked sensor technology giving then 2x faster readout speeds.
Great video!

Cannot wait to see the 15 Pro series vs. The 16 Pro’s!

[jayyycrawford]

As a 15 pro max user and working for verizon i have gotten this question everyday from customers with older devices. The iPhone 16 is a good update from the regular models. The pro models this year though, unless you are using your camera 24/7 or you just want a bigger phone, then you should purchase. If you have a 15 pro or pro Max (especially the max) you should hold out still a good phone😊

Please do camera comparison between 16 pro max vs 15 pro max

For me, coming from the 13 mini, I think the 16 would be great update. I might consider it a few more months down the road.

[RBaroza]

Only reason you should really upgrade now is if your battery isn’t lasting long enough. Or just get your battery replaced. My 13PM still feels fast and the cameras have been great for years. Battery is around 87% but still lasts me a whole day

[sammyt]

The reviewer repeated more than once that the iPhone 16 main camera is that of last year's 15 Pro, which is incorrect.

[oneminutewonder]

I'm just shocked people are still apparently OK spending money for a sub par display for an almost 1000$ device. 60hz in 2024 is absolutely ridiculous even if iOS manages to look more smooth than Android with their animations.

[nhraandnascarfanatic]

Just got my wife the basic 256gig 16 in pink, a BIG upgrade from her 64gig 12mini which she absolutely loved but didn’t have the storage she needs being an avid photographer/pintrester. I have the 13pro and thought about upgrading myself… having always gotten the pro models I was STRONGLY advised by my brother in law who manages a couple of Apple stores to wait for next year… completely different design, more premium build materials, better range of colours and more affordable. So that’s what I’m doing..

[wesselgeertsma]

To be honest I would recommend the 15 pro above the 16. Well the biggest difference is the cc-button. But to be honest how many times do you use it. Thanks for all the details.

[gibdin]

no one loves this button. Fixes nothing that needed to be fixed

[mythicgamingmk]

I have the 14 and I’m upgrading when the 17 or 18 and maybe the 19 comes out or when 120hz or 90hz comes to the base models

[markwilliamson]

As non US user, position of SIM card tray always useful to see as well

[AndreaBuzzatti]

I love this button because you have to see it as a shortcut and not ad a button.
The menu you can open is TOUCH! And when you tap on the display to choose the function, it’s pretty simple and comfortable. Using the zoom from that function tapping on the display is incredible. Nobody talk about this, nobody show this… why? Nobody discover this possibility? 😅😜

[brettwalsh]

I upgraded from XS max to 16 plus and I am very underwhelmed… why didn’t the reviewers say these phones are all the same. I might switch to the ultra 24 just because it is better value. It’s on sale and has bigger storage and better camera.

[mattdagger]

are you all doing a camera comparison to the pixel 9? urgently waiting for this video from you all :D

[MAYANKSINGH-bdig]

Please make the same video with 15 pro and 16 pro, I think there are people really confused between these two models
