I wasn't going to upgrade my 14 Pro Max but I just got tired of the size. I went with the 16 Pro. I am quite satisfied. I played with the camera control button for awhile, then disabled it. It's a 'solution for a problem' few had. Personally, I'm done with the huge phones. The battery life of the 16 Pro is excellent but I'm a less than moderate user. When all is said and done, it's an iPhone and it does what I've come to expect from them. Just my opinion but I think we've become spoiled by the plentiful amount of tech that's available to us these days. Many seemed to have lost their sense of wonder at this stuff. I grew up before all this tech came out so my perspective is different form many. That and a buck will get you a cup of coffee. Well, coffee from a convenience store. Nice video as always Jerry!

iPhone 17 pro max is done for! I’m keeping my 16 pro max til they make an ultra iPhone like they did with the Apple Watch Ultra

I’m coming from the 15pm and I actually really enjoy my 16pm. My 15pm would get warm from too much usage and I would have to let it cool down. The 15pm speakers for me were really bad. One of the first things I noticed with my 16pm was how loud it was compared to my old phone! I keep it turned down a little now unlike the full blast I kept the 15pm at.

Almost everybody I know doesn't use the camera control button, it's way too finicky

[Buddeh]

Oddly enough, im having that same wifi issue with my 14PM

Great video Jerry. I am not a fan of the new camera button either. I usually upgrade yearly, but I am sticking with my 15PM for another year. We may be at peak iPhone hardware, and it will be interesting to see what Apple brings for the iPhone 17 lineup. Hopefully, next year, there will be something to get excited about.

What’s the setup you use to make your videos bro, it’s clean 👌🏾

Unfortunately, the recent shipments of the 16 Pros changed screen manufacturers it seems since they all come with subpar displays that turn blue upon the slightest tilt in any direction. Really crazy the media and YouTubers haven’t picked up on this. Me and my friend have gone thru 6 exchanges and all the units have had the same issue. Even the Apple Store manager noticed and suggested returning and trying again in a few weeks to see if new shipments have fixed the issue. Hideous displays.

We've been at peak smartphone now for many years at this point other than battery. The one feature people genuinely want to see year over year improvements on. Surprised that Apple are seemingly looking to make an even smaller iPhone next year.

Pls suggest which colour looks best white, natural or desert

[Luke_]

how does the titanium white of the 16 pro compare to the previous 15 pro titanium white, really curious

[NeoXman]

Dude!
You need to upgrade your Camera
Its quite low resolution even in 1080P
and keep focusing the near objects

1 Nit is enough, 2000 nits is overboard, too many Nit wits as it is. lol

[Ariozo]

Old days was best, when "S" was for the small upgrade and after that a larger/design upgrade came out. For last years just spec bumps and i am Ok with that and that´s why you always have android /Folds on the side for "fun" stuff. :)

iPhone 16 is a wonderful device that's being used for content farming clickbait til the iPhone SE 4 comes around to replace it.

[Starr_unlimited]

I have both the samsung s24 ultra and the 16 pro max.
Its crazy how far behind the iphone is!
It's as if apple doesn't care at all about thier customers.
I joke that I have a smart phone (s24U) and a not so smart phone (iphone)

Using the 16 pro max is like using a phone thats 6 years old

[iAfroTech]

Like any iPhone Pro, this one will perfectly do the job. I would never buy this phone because i refuse to give a free pass to any brand which advertise features and not deliver worldwide, with a truthful calendar ( I live in France so even if I was interested in replacing my 13 Pro, it would be stupid ).

People are delusional
1️⃣ about the smartphone market,
2️⃣ about what they can really afford ( there is nothing to be proud being in debt to buy a smartphone through a carrier or in 10 months...)
3️⃣ about reasons to buy a smartphone : a smartphone is not a toy but a tool.

📌Nowadays, unless you don't use your smartphone correctly, any good midrange or flagship can last, at least 4 years without issues. If you do that, you will never be disappointed when you decide to buy a new device.
