iPhone 16 After 1 Week: Forget The Pro!

Full in-depth iPhone 16 review. Going over what's new, good bad, and everything in between.

ALL MY FAVORITE GEAR IS LISTED BELOW 👇

In this video, I go over my experience with the new iPhone 16 after a week of use. From its impressive new features like the action button and macro photography to surprising upgrades that outperform the iPhone 15 Pro, it might be a better option for most than the iPhone 16 Pro. I cover the changes in design like the all new camera control, the performance of the A18 chip, and everything in between. Whether you’re considering upgrading from an older iPhone, you want something compatible with Apple Intelligence, or just curious about the latest gear from Apple, I’ve got you covered! Let’s dive in.

At $799, its high time they ship 120Hz. I'm an iPhone user since 3GS but its about damn time.

[iamsid]

This "people don't care about 120Hz" attitude needs to change. Apple is profiting off people's ignorance at this point. 120Hz is no longer a premium feature—it's become a standard. Including it would have made more sense than adding the Camera Control feature to the base iPhone 16.

If the 16 could natively support raw photos I would get it. It doesn't and so it's immediately disqualified for me. I find it such an odd intentional handicap from Apple. Samsung phones down to their A series can take raw photos (I know this because I owned an A20 4 years ago which introduced me to the format). Why a phone that expensive can't, despite being plenty more powerful than the iPhone 13 pro which debuted RAW is beyond me.
Excellent video as always Kyle!

Forget the pro?? No freaking way i'm going back to a 60Hz display no matter how great a phone is. All base iPhones from iPhone 12 and above are great phones EXCEPT for the 60Hz refresh rate. I see comments calling us nerds and that 120Hz is not a big deal... you're fooling yourselves. You don't see a big difference cause you never owned a pro.... once you get used to it it's a night and day difference! I would gladly own a base iPhone 17 with 120Hz even if it's aluminium, 2 cameras, worse battery life, etc.... but until then a 13 pro is way way better to use than a base iPhone 16.

I tried the 16 vs the 16 pro side by side and that 120 hertz felt much better and not cheap or lagging so the pro is what I got. It’s much smoother

[Garret]

60Hz in 2024 is a disgrace. It’s like lcd vs oled.

[caffeinelife]

I had a 15 Pro Max and have switched to the standard 16. The primary motivation is size and weight. I came from an Xr and never got used to the size or weight of the Max. Apple made my decision easy by making the phone features fairly equal. The only thing I will miss is the telephoto lens. Being able to just handle the phone with one hand is just so worth it to me. I decided against the 16 Pro because it’s still fairly heavy and the price isn’t worth it to me. I see the 60hz vs 120hz but it’s not important to me at all.

Its a much better value than the 16 pro, but agh 60hz!

Protip: Avoiding wireless charging leads to a healthier and longer lasting battery for long-term use

has cell phone reception and call quality improved? thanks

[mattc]

I got the plus ultramarine I love it ❤

[CarterSparrow-fc]

The thing that I dislike about the iPhone 16 is the 60hz display. I hate a choppy display and when I am using some other iPhone than my 15 Pro Max or a Pro model, I can instantly tell. I'm thinking about upgrading to the base model iPhone 17 when it comes out, but if it doesn't have the 120hz display, I'm not going to. 😭

[Mark-ukwz]

I don't understand why they can't compromise with at least 90hz. 60hz is in the 100$ Android territory

[fahimmustafa]

The camera button only makes sense to use it in landscape...holding the phone upright and taking a picture using the button looks uncomfortable

[TealandTech]

Upgraded from the 13 mini (but kept it haha) I’m loving my pink 16. 😌

[christianvaldebenito]

I have the 15 Pro now and I want to stop being a "Pro" user, for a personal decision I want to be able to feel good using a basic iPhone 16. Something like living a slightly more minimalist lifestyle and asking myself: "Do I really need the most expensive and technological phone if one that costs 200 or 300 dollars less is more than enough for me?" Plus I set my current iPhone to 60Hz and it's not the end of the world, it's just a little different. I think I can live with that, so I'll buy the non-Pro model this year. Thanks for the video!

This is the era of the base iPhone. 😆
The iPhone 17 is rumoured to be getting a 6.3” ProMotion screen just like the 17 Pro and 48MP cameras front and back. 🍿

[mhz]

my 200 dollar xiaomi shit chinese phone has 120 hz and a 800 dollar brand new 2024 iphone doesn't. It's a big scam.

[minjunchoi]

Basic model It's enough for ordinary users. It's my personal opinion. And I love my 15 Pro.

[nurbati]

Battery is good ofc its brand new compared to ip15pro. No 120 hz display for 800 usd phone is just insult to customers 😅
