iPhone 16 Pro – 7 Day HONEST Review

After using the iPhone 16 Pro every day for 7 days, here's my honest real-life review.

I've tested the new "Fusion" cameras, and compared it to the iPhone 15 Pro and Google Pixel 9 Pro, battery life, real-life usage, A18 Pro Chipset, the new capture button. So here are my thoughts and recommendations on the iPhone 16 lineup after 1 week. Enjoy!

iPhone 16 Pro – 7 Day HONEST Review

[TechOutAdam]

These were the best photos I've seen someone take for the review.

This is my favourite 16 Pro review so far, and I have watched over two dozen! Love the footage, the editing, but above all the clarity in structure and explanation. Great video, 10 out of 10 - thank you for putting all that effort into it!

I like how you said, “the Capture Button feels like a gimmick and I went back to using the touchscreen”. Apple and *some* reviewers have been overhyping his new button like it’s the next best thing since sliced bread. But this button was not necessary and I wonder if Apple will ever remove the additional buttons. Good review as always.

Stunning review! It's a very refreshing to find a review that focuses on daily life use and living with the tech day by day. The format of the video looks so good.

Best iPhone 16 review out there, and no $50 wallpaper app subscription in sight 😂

[ひまりはると]

8:58 this is all shot on a iPhone 16 pro? Mobile video has come so far 😳

[Treborray]

Love the video! So many key points hit. Thank you

[clancysfitness]

I’m not super impressed I just needed a new phone…..

[Sozialkompetenz]

First they take away the buttons, then they add them… dang

[Eeagli]

I actually love the camera button. It's actually a game changer for me. I can take picture really quickly and it's great for shoot selfie videos.

Your tech reviews just continue to improve and improve. Keep it up, at this rate you'll deservingly be at 1M subs

Aluminum has like a 240 watts per meter kelvin of thermal conductivity and titanium is 2.something lol, so the heat dissipation point checks out. Natural titanium does look beautiful though

[-SDegirmenci]

You summarized it well. Is the read-write speed the same in all memory options? Do you have any information on this?

[Bill-cklo]

This was a superb review! Thank you Andrew! I'm coming from an iPhone 12, so I expect a huge difference. Some reviewers are really knocking the iPhone 16 vs 15 as a let down...and yes version to version, some differences are subtle, but from a 12, like me, amazing difference. Awaiting my 16 Pro Max 1TB phone to arrive in a few weeks!!

[Jeff-oobr]

Great cinematography as usual, I really love the places you’ve picked to test out the photo shots! 📷 Looks like iPhone 16 is quite an upgrade from the previous models mainly for its camera, but I agree that outside of that Apple really needs to catch up on the AI department as compared to their competitors! Hopefully there will be some major upgrades in this area later in the year, keen to see this as a long-time iPhone user!

I've been waiting for your full review since last week! :D

[DozeLife.]

CAPTURE BUTTON: I don’t care for the features as much. But the button is very useful if I’m trying to record something in a second. Click the button to activate camera and initially starts recording and I’ve caught so many moments already that I would’ve missed using the touch screen

[eldelcielo]

Im not buying an iphone (I think) this year, but the clean thumbnail pulled me in.

[sam-sq]

Great video, really enjoying how you keep things simple yet detailed. Anyone able to tell me, photographic styles…do they not work for when you have pro max 48mp turned on?

[BlackopsUSN]

I am glad someone else realized that the capture button is basically a rebranded Touch Bar that the MacBook had a while back.
