Why the iPhone 16 Pro is THE BEST!

The iPhone 16 Pro is Apple's BEST iPhone to date and I think this is worth the upgrade. Here's my 48 hour impression of the device after switching from the iPhone 15 Pro. I'll talk about the new Camera Control button, new Photographic Styles, new Studio Quality Mics, as well as my first 48 hours battery impressions.

Stay tuned for the iPhone 16 / 16 Plus video coming very soon!

Coming from the 12 pro I’m getting a much longer battery life, 120hz, thinner bezels, Dynamic Island, much faster chip, and a massively upgraded camera. It’s an amazingly good deal. I don’t understand why anyone would still consider this from the premise of upgrading every single year. Smartphones have peaked a long time ago and even my 12 pro didn’t leave anything to be desired from day to day.

I skipped the 15 line, so this is a nice jump for me from the 14pro. Everything that was good from the 15Pro and the refinements & additions this year. Battery life has been treating me well. Very happy with this model. Definitely going to make it a habit to skip every other year in this age of iteration.

i had the 14 pro max then bought the s24 ultra when it was released, now i switched back to the 16 pro max and i am really loving the phone. A lot of people are bashing it because it is the same design but most companies do that. Apple just does things right and offers what the customers want a smooth experience with great animation and fast processor. i have no complaints with the phone and even if the design was different there is only so much they can do to innovate. i've had so many features from android phones and honestly i do not use them like people think they would, one of them is split screen. Again i'm very happy with my phone it is such a beautiful phone and clean and apps are super polished.

I currently have the iPhone 14 plus. I’ll be gifting it to my mother because she has the iPhone 11. I’ll be putting my order in for the iPhone 16 pro next Tuesday. I’ll be getting mine in titanium black with 256gb!

16 pro is really good, battery is waaay better than 15 pro, loving it so far

i bought the 15 Pro and i love how Apple slowly upgrades their yearly phones. It makes me feel like I’m not losing anything with my iPhone. The Camera Control is not a necessity for me because all those “camera controls” are all in the camera app anyways. The larger Pro phones is a loss for me. I tend to lean towards smaller iPhones. Apple Intelligence, well we all know that the 15 Pro phones will get it as well. I think this 15 Pro is also a good upgrade, but yeah, the 16 Pro probably look more refined especially that Gol… Desert Titanium color. 😅

Battery life has been good so far with the 16 pro but it all depends on your usage. I had a heavier load yesterday and got home at 8 pm with 40ish percent and went to bed under 35 percent. Charged in the morning and all good.

[dannywinget]

Fire video! Been loving the 16 Pro as well since it has the same cameras and everything.

I have a 13 mini and if I’m gonna upgrade it’ll be to the regular size 16 pro. It’s already almost 2+ hour battery improvement over last years 15 pro, that should be more than enough for most people. The max is just seems too large.

[sidethchhay]

How about the battery? Is it better and can use longer than old Serial?

[裕介-yo]

The PITAKA phone case looks fantastic, and this time it fully covers the phone! I’m considering getting one for my iPhone 16 Pro. Their previous cases were only partially covered. Although I liked the design, it made me hesitate. Mark, thank you for showing it to me!

Some how I am not too thrilled with iPhone 16 pro max. Upgraded from 13 pro max. Thinking of returning it before 14 days elapses

[and]

I absolutely love the extra 0.2 hours inches. Also great battery life on the standard pro

[eadsadwadsadawdadas]

im upgrading soon. 15 pro max or 16 pro?

[janesmith]

I upgraded to 16P from 13P. It definitely feels lighter and less prone to get really warm /hot like the 13P. Battery life seem to be better. I have four questions: First, has anyone noticed yellow tint issue? Second, some people say 13, 14 and 15 have brighter screen - would you say this is the case? Third, for those of you who upgraded from 13P, do you feel audio quality when playing music is great, if not better than 16P? To my surprise, 13P sounds better. And lastly, does your battery percentage drop pretty quickly, especially after charging it overnight? I charged my phone around 7 last night until it reached 98% and didn't really use it that much. This morning it dropped to 91%. Could this be a defect? I still have 12 days to decide If I really want to keep this phone. We'll see

I’m absolutely loving my 16 Pro Max, I upgraded from the 14 Pro Max, and Battery Life is night and day.

[lutongjograt]

Loving the new features, especially the mic! So glad I skipped the 15, this one was definitely worth the wait!

[cocograce]

Really excited to get my new iPhone 16 Pro! The sunset pattern looks amazing for desert titanium color! PITAKA's case looks really slim and lightweight!

[joyjeetpaul]

Hello Mark … should I upgrade from IPhone 15 to IPhone 16 Pro considering the Camera and AI ?
Or should I just wait !!!

Need your advice 🙏

[mo-akif]

I'd love to see a comparison of the mic in the iPhone 16 vs 16 Pro — can you make a Short? I'd be forever grateful. Please and thank you.
