you know what Sam, the reason i like your videos is your intro's short & sharp, gets straight to the point.

Your producing and editing skills are on another level. Cheers

Mate, you've absolutely nailed the iOS frustrations here. The areas Android still beats it in – mainly notifications, volume/vibrate control, autocorrect, and clipboard history – are really pretty shocking misses by Apple at this late stage. (Although your example with the autocorrect frustration was a little off, since 'how' appeared in the suggestions bar as soon as you double-tapped on 'low')

Another huge miss in iOS is that it still can't maintain more than one control-centre media player at a time. The way I can swipe between active players on Android is so damn good.

To stop your iPhone from vibrating at night, just put it on "Do not Disturb" mode. This is what I do every night before bed. Nothing will wake me up through the night, unless someone calls you twice in a row within like two minutes or something. (There are more settings if you need) In the morning I turn it off and see what notifications came in overnight.

Recently went from a Xiaomi 11T Pro to a iPhone 16 Pro.
Man, I must say, I really love iOS.

Best review and take I've seen on the 16 Pro so far. And the editing in this video was next level good. So much eye candy!

I've no issues with my Pro Max, But I also have a S24 Ultra, and a P9P. I love them all.

[NishantGauns]

What an intro Sam🔥 You should start a Course how to make videos like you ❤️

[Alphazombie]

Finally video with ultrawide resolution.Thanks

I’m confused. If you don’t want notifications vibrating in the night, why don’t you use Do Not Disturb. Then you don’t have to keep changing your vibrate mode. Am I missing something. ? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I think you have to upgrade from the 14 Pro max.. writing tools for me are a life changer. My productivity went from struggling to spell and write emails (English isn’t my first language) to being a master at replying to work emails and leaving comments and just language in general. The proofreading function alone. Not to mention I’m a semi-pro Diablo Immortal and Mobile Legends player. The 16 Pro max runs everything smoothly with no screen dimming or heating issues (I mean the screen dims to 90 percent which in my opinion is plenty bright and because I keep my phone at around 80 percent brightness when gaming I don’t count it as dimming). Great review.

Thanks for talking about those crazy drawbacks of ios, I wasn't aware of these drawbacks before watching this video.

As a fellow Android user have you compared the iOS 18 calculator. Mainly the fact that it's now missing a "C" ( clear ) option when in the middle of an equation. After you start an equation the "C" turns to backsplash whereas Android offer both options. Also you can't edit an equation meaning if you wanted to change a single number you are unable to do so. For me as an Android user I both feel short changed and frustrated with this.

Also regarding Apple Intelligence it literally won't be available fully even after Samsung s25 event. I feel iPhone 16 and Apple Intelligence is just to satisfy the share holders, however iPhone 17 should be more impactful

Calling the camera button "innovative" is shocking... This existed on phones many many years ago.

[snipeyboi]

I love the editing and intro. It feels so fun :D

[raghav]

I am too much of an Android fanboy to ever try iPhone

[danjman]

thanks for making the wallpaper app available on ios!

For the vibration at night. Usually at night you would turn on Sleep Focus which deactivate any notifications (permission possible).

I didn't know MKBHD's Panels app had competition but that's some good incentive to use yours right there!
