Will THESE iPhone 16 updates bring me back to the iPhone?

This video is sponsored by MOFT.

Later this year, we'll see the launch of the iPhone 16 series. Bearing in mind I'm several months into my full switch to the Samsung S24 Ultra, which iPhone 16 and iOS 18 features are most likely to tempt me back to the iPhone? In this video, I list five and rate them out of ten!

I was excited to upgrade from the 14PM to the 15PM for the camera update at the last offering, but found myself not using it really as much as I was expecting, so we will see what happens this year as this may be the first in a while I haven't upgraded annually. I say this but yet here I am watching vids about 16PM, all the best.

Did I use My phone more for photos than I do I might consider one of the many great android offerings, but as I am mainly using it as a video camera I am not going to switch from my 15 pro max as I find ProRes log and the ability to add an external SSD and unbeatable combination for my use

[techhubwiltsuk]

Looking forward moo having you back on iPhone! cool t-shirt btw, I got it to!!

[MarkEllisReviews]

What would be the PERFECT iPhone 16 upgrade for you?

[appleztooranges]

I’ll prob update from my 13 pro max. Apple just has to say something about massive battery gains like they did before and I’m all aboard

[prodmxd]

Great video!

I also think that the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro will both get at least 8 GB RAM.

Apple has been a wonderful experience for me, especially with the moft accessories, but I grew up with Android and it always had a place in my heart though it has a lot of room for improvement, same with Apple 😂

“Don’t tell him Pike”.. so funny.. for those of a certain age lol. Well played sir.

I just switched to a Pixel 8 Pro from iPhone, a little less snappy but better in every other way.

[RussMEagle]

iPhone is Coca Cola and Android is Pepsi

[halgrynshaun]

After years with apple, i just woke up and realised i am ready to move on. I have and dont think there is something on the horizon from them that will bring me back. I'll keep my macbook Pro, and that's it.

[emilsecker]

You’ll need to come back when the iPhone 16 Pro comes out lol

[jedolivier]

The biggest upgrades on the 16 ProMax will be the cameras, brighter display & larger battery. The only reason that they’re adding AI features is because they’re already behind Google & Samsung pertaining to it.😊

[andrewscott]

my s24 is nowhere near as good on battery as the 15PM

It will take four words to bring you back to the Dark Side, Mark:
Apple iPhone mini pro.

[RussMEagle]

I bought the Samsung S24U, sent it back after 10 days. Just don’t like Android. I have tried in the past too.

[ofrutsra]

I know you’re excited about Apple Intelligence, but I’m curious what you think about the fact that Apple was recently found out to have trained it on YouTube videos? I know a lot of tech folks are pretty mad about their work being stolen for this.

[richardpetros]

I’m liking the 6.3” screen a lot, I hope AI is great and I like more customization

[krisztianpapp]

Yet AAC will be the Bluetooth codec. And that is the thing to put me off from Apple. Show me people that choose camera over Samsung. If you use Samsung.

Hi Mark, I know you have given several reasons why you are excited about the new iPhone but what I really want to know is the real reason you are switching back later in the year? New features will always jump between iPhone and Android so what may be available on iPhone tomorrow will have a similar offering from Android the day after. So, I think you miss the iPhone, period, and just don’t have the same love for Android. It’s ok to admit it. I have been the the same loop a few times but always go back to the trusty iPhone.
