I have the iPhone 16 plus in black with 256gb I’m really loving it and it’s just pro enough for me and for many others.

If you find Camera control is not sensitive enough to your touch (or too sensitive) you can adjust that sensitivity in the Settings app. Many people don't know this. You can really dial it in how you like it.

ditched my iphone 14 pro to 16 plus bec I want to lower down my monthly plan with my carrier + I want a bigger screen and I'm pretty much satisfied and happy with my decision! I thought the 60hz will be a deal breaker but tbh it isn't, I mean I'm already used to it. my 16 plus is still fast. i was nitpicky at first bec I always did a side by side comparison of my 14 pro and 16 plus screens but day-to-day usage proved that I don't need the pro motion. IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO NEEDS VS WANTS and WHAT KIND OF A SMARTPHONE USER ARE YOU. The pro motion screen, telephoto lens, faster USB c speed are something that I don't often use so why spend more money on those right? I had the 12 pro and 14 pro and I didn't maximise their pro capabilities at all. I thought I was a pro user but after 4 years, guess I'm not. so there, just my two cents - from an actual iPhone user who's not in the creative space but a total social media junkie and an average smartphone user.

the positives of the regular models are the beautiful colors and light weight and are a bit slimmer too.
The 16 Plus weighs 199g while the Pro Max weighs 227g and when you have a large mobile then light weight is very important.
the engative is that the regular models has thicker bezels, 60hz screen instead of at least 90hz refresh rate.

[JackTheBlack]

Everything about the 16 is good except for that 60Hz screen…. Which make the whole phone trash.

[zurko]

60Hz is an ABSOLUTE nogo and shows Apple is fooling their customers AF

[Kat.x]

Apple could just have look at Canon's, discontinuing the fidly swipe bar design to control camera settings with their first EOS R series.

[nishantsaloki]

Good video. However that advertisement wireless powerbank's magnet looks weak. So people, please take caution while buying.

[katinasoutherland]

This is the absolute most comfortable phone to hold.

[critzinottawa]

Hello, could you please tell me what game controllers you had attached to your iphone, and are they good, thank you :) !

[gummybear]

IDC about negative comments for 16pro. I still want to have one.. Just waiting my

[Das_Germaican]

It’s unfortunate that iPhones, despite their top tier processors and excellent cameras have been reduced to whether or not they’re 60Hz.

[tngristtt]

i simply didnt buy 16 because of that stupid camera button.

[etfigueroa]

The 60HZ screen refresh rate is the biggest 👎 of the non-pro iPhone 16 models. Definitely a deal breaker for me

This was an interesting take on the 18th generation of iPhones. Thank you for that. with the topics covered by you, i however heard some opinions, that can be tackled with opinions of my own. So here we go:

While I agree, that 128GB are not enough for any smartphone in 2024 and would call out Apple for their greed on that one just the same, as the 120Hz display, which Samsung, Google and other Companies offer on a similar or even lower price tag (no matter my opinion on that), I'd still like to answer your question ( 2:07 ) with a question of my own. What kind of a professional runs Tripple A games on their working tools? Ok ok, quite a few. But still, your argument of not having any Space for videos left, doesn't hold up, as the Apple ProRes format for one doesn't work on Apples own Apps and considering the file sizes of Apple ProRes, using third party Apps doesn't make it any better either. 4K 60 fps in ProRes eats up 220MB/s which sums up to 13.2GB for a single minute. 4K 120 fps at 440MB/s sums up to 26.4GB per minute. So what do you get from 128GB extra? 9 Minutes or 4 1/2 Minutes of recording time. If you don't use that or ProRAW, you miss one of the biggest PRO-Features.

As for the colors ( 2:31 ): Yep, that might be a reason to go for Non-Pro iPhones this year. However, it wouldn't be a good one, at least if you go for a case, unless you go for a clear one and lets face it, even with a clear case, the hype about the build quality goes down the drain, because you end up with the build quality of the case, not the iPhone. A better argument would be, that a titanium frame doesn't give you anything, you get to ever see, unless you decide to not use a case.

if android can make their small base models with 4, 000+ mAh iPhone can do the same

[JeskidoYT]

Not to be confused with the streaming service 😂

[set]

Went from 14 pro max to 16 plus to 16 pro max.

If your coming from a pro max, get the 16 pro max
If your coming from a non pro max and also are use to 60hz, then the 16plus will b fine for you

[LuisFuentes]

Whats the point in buying +800$ phones that don't have any pro features?

[tolgaa]

İTS THE BEST FOR THE BUCK! BUT STİLL AT 60hz 🤣
