Hey Chaps! What iPhone are you using?? (or none!)
CORRECTION: iPhone 15 also has a 48MP Main, and the 16 Pro's do have faster wired charging.

PCs were peaking 10-15 years ago. In the 90s and early 2000s, each upgrade you did every year was exciting, as it brought big improvements. As a 90s kid, I HAD TO upgrade my PC every year. It was pretty much mandatory, the difference was so big, and a 2 year old PC was really obsolete. But in the 2010s and today, using a 10 year old PC causes no issues whatsoever. Laptops followed shortly after.

The same thing is happening with smartphones. In the 10 years after iPhone was released, every year brough exciting upgrades on all platforms. Phones became much faster, look much nicer, have much better screen, etc... But they peaked ~5 years ago. Their screen is near perfect, they perform all task instantaneously, so there is nothing really to improve. I often accidentally grab my 5yo Xs instead of 15 Pro, and only notice when I try to call someone and there is no service on it:D

The battery life comparison of generation 12 through 16 was very useful 👏🏻👌🏻

You review these phones for real, I respect your work so much these days now that I am aware many tech channels have turned into influencer ad channels.

The audio mix features are so cool to me because usually that level of noise cancellation sounds bad and nearly robotic. Nice stuff

[marinamekael]

I had iPhone 15 pro max and now i am using iPhone 16 standard, I know sounds stupid to some people, but my main reason for getting iPhone 16 is the size and weight, iPhone 15 PM was big phone and heavy weight and overtime I did notice that, I don’t really care about the PRO features and 60 hertz not that bad with me. Everyone has own personal preference.

[SpeedGio]

Best review so far. Absolutely honest!

[DEPAN]

Still using the Xs with ios 18 and will not be upgrading to iPhone 16. It’s great that I still get os and security update.

Finally some attention to these phones! Usually they disappear behind the pro's and ultra's

9:53 This camera pan with all the various iPhone colors is my favourite part of this whole video lol

[levi.s]

Upgrades to the 16 pro Max from the 14 pro Max and i am super happy. The smaller bezels and the rounded Frame are really noticable BUT the Phone feels soooo much lighter. What a surprise.

This is by far best review of 16 and 16 pro and any iPhone in general that I have ever seen. You hit the nail on the head with size, weight and some other comparisson. 10/10 you got a new sub

[shawng]

Keeping my 14 Pro and replacing the battery after the new year. It’s still lightning fast and has everything I want/need in a phone. Plus it’s the Deep Purple model lol.

[ak_hoops]

When you list everything out, the Pros sound like they deserve that title. But the regular 16 is better value overall, especially if you aren’t a “pro” creator needed camera related things.

Great video, very well done. Good job and thank you. It was very useful.

I'm wanting to switch my wife and I back to iPhones this year, God willing, but budget is tight.

Here in the EU the base 16 costs €949! Very expensive.

My local authorised reseller still sells the 13, 14 and 15.

While the 13 and 14 are more affordable, they are a bit long in the tooth so I'm looking at the 15 potentially. Despite the drab colours (😢).

However if we can't afford that, I'll try the 14 but sell it after a year and then get either the 15 or 16 next year when the price drops.

From your tests it's clear the camera on the 15 is better in low light than the 12, 13 and 14.

Upgrading from an XR to a regular 16. Slight concern that 128GB will be tight for running Apple Intelligence features on device.

[trusty]

I'm sticking to my iPhone 12, thanks.

[Garrettdx]

As someone who used the iPhone 3g as my daily back in the day (same chip and specs as the OG, just with 3G) it may have had a 60 hz display, but certainly couldn't handle running at a smooth 60 hz.

For perspective, it only had a single core chip running at 412 mhz paired with 128 mb of ram.

Don't get me wrong, it was still an incredible and smooth feeling experience for the time

[DeezSpoiledEggz]

iPhone 16 Plus paired with the iPad Pro M4 is a perfect match! Coming from the iPhone 12 Pro Max, I’m really enjoying the iPhone 16 Plus. I don’t play games on it, and I’m not out here trying to be a photographer with my phone.

Buy what you need, not what’s popular.

My Fav Tech Chap!, please review the Panels app, if its compatible with the 16s
