Reviewers are WRONG! iPhone 16 truth.

#esr #esriphone16 #esriphone16promaxcase

The 2024 iPhone 16 lineup is finally here, but is it actually worth the upgrade? Let's do a classic versus between the iPhone 15 Pro and the new iPhone 16 Pro and see which one comes up on top. I think I've cracked the code on iPhone upgrades, and Apple has a new plan that will change everything.

Correction:

13 Pro Max to 16 Pro Max. Thus begins my 3 year upgrade cycle. You’re right, Apple is focusing on those who are a few generations back. Gone are the days of yearly innovations that shock the world and get us Apple sheep to camp out for launches.

I went from 5s to 7 plus and then iPhone X to iPhone 15/Pro/Pro Max. Stick to longer upgrade cycles and Apple is awesome.

They should bring back the ‘S’ naming scheme back. Because that’s what this phone is.

Idc what anybody says, I upgraded from the 14 Pro Max and the slight weight decrease, usb-c, log video, AI (when it comes, been beta testing), slightly better ultrawide camera, bigger battery is def worth the upgrade.

Apple missed the biggest opportunity by tying the camera control button to its AI to get an ideal picture based on the subject. It could frame it, adjust the exposure based on the subjecting shot like the moon and handle specialised functions like super positioning or tie existing images from it LMM into the shot to improve it. What a wasted opportunity. I don't need a button for manual controls of camera setting. If I have time to do that, I have time to use the touch screen. I do street photography. I need to grab my camera, frame the shot, set the exposure and take the shot. If I have a Porche 918 approaching on the road I have less than a second to do all of that and get my shot before it has passed. same thing with video. the camera control button should've taking control to get those shots that require more than point and shoot. I still can't point and shoot at the moon and get something that doesn't look like a streetlight. My friend with a Samsung point at the moon, zooms to max and gets a great shot!

Since I still have an iPhone 11, I’ll be looking forward to the “ massive” upgrade. I’m on a 5 year cycle

[jusbefrank]

I went from a 2020 SE to the 16 PM, dang has it been an incredible difference

[JBK]

I have an iPhone 11 and I’ve been waiting all this time for a significant upgrade in terms of the way that I use the phone. I still may do the 16 at this point but I was hoping for some truly significant eye popping feature like a display on the back

Example, the first picture taken with 15 pro and 16 pro, they were taken differently. You chose brightness on the 15 more than the 16. It all depends on how you take the pictures that give you different results. That’s why some are called “photographers”

[Slim]

I did like you. I went from the 15 pro max to the 16 pro because I wanted a smaller phone for my hand and pocket. I absolutely love it. I tried the 16 in the store demo but that 60 hertz refresh rate made using the apps feel real sluggish. I’ll never use the camera button so I disabled it in settings.

Tree leaves are a terrible subject to photograph in order to she a quality difference between the two iPhones, because the leaves are moving in the breeze. Only a very fast shutter speed can even begin to stop their motion. They will never look sharp, in focus. A solid object would be much better to use as the subject for a camera comparison.

Fun experiment. Try to scan in Notes with the 15 pro and compare doing that with the 16 pro max. I know, I know...but I have to scan a lot. And the differences are HUGE. My point being, I wonder how many more 'small' huge differences are more noticeable for people who do 'weird stuff' like scan crap with their phones.

[markferrell]

I’m waiting for my preorder 16 Pro Max, which I’ll never preorder again, waiting a month to get your new phone a month after the were released is crazy . Anyway I bought a case for the phone if it ever shows up but what gets me is my 14 Pro Max fits almost perfectly except for the button cut outs. So much for being bigger, I which I would have just bought the 15 Pro Max

[TheShk]

1:40 Not 6.7, it’s 6.3 & 6.9 respectively for 16 Pro & pro max.

[KimiHietasola]

I'm comming from a Huawei P20 Lite (2018), worth it?

[dhomegardner]

I’ve kept my iPhones an average of 4 years since the 5 came out. I’ve gotten good use out of each and loaded them with pictures. Upgraded to a 16 Pro Max from the 11, so am loving the upgraded camera and larger screen!

[leet]

I upgraded from the iPhone 11 to the iPhone 16 Pro Max and I’m blown away!! I always wait for a few years at least until my phone begins to run sluggish or my battery is degraded so much that it’s becoming a hassle to plug it in all the time. Apple needs to, I hate to say it, stop yearly releases of the iPhone and make it every 2 years. Then the difference in features over 2 years will seem like a greater difference than from year to year.

4:19 you are kinda wrong, visual intelligence seems to be only available with the camera control, but they didnt specify

[jonrussell]

I agree. My last upgrade was from Iphobe 7+ to iPhone 14 Pro Max when it was introduced. I was looking at the 16 and to me not much difference so I’m not upgrading. Now I’m waiting to see what’s coming up for iPhone 17 to see if it will be worth it. Prior to the 7+, I was upgrading every 2 yrs but my carrier offered me a deal I couldn’t refuse when that came out that I decided to upgrade. I’m seeing myself possibly upgrading every 2-4 possibly 5 years. The new features and abilities have to be worth the while and expense.

[richdiorio]

I have the 13 pro max, would you upgrade to the 16 Pro or 16 pro max? Thinking fro ma size perspective the 16 Pro max might be too big.
