iPhone 16 after 2 Weeks: You're Missing the Point...

Thanks for checking this review out! We're trying to make our videos a little different to all of the others I come across online that just simply read through the specs and do comparisons with other cameras. I hope you enjoy this format!

Appreciate you checking out this video guys and girls! Working hard to make these better and better each time and also try to cover new tech in a way that others aren't, whilst putting my own spin on things.
Lots of other fun videos coming up, both for iPhone and Android fans alike! I hope you stick around for more :)

“Blue bubbles or green bubbles, in the end, none of that really matters.” Wise words. Any device that helps you focus on and remember what’s most important, is a good one.

Camera Control is actually the most awkward feature Apple has ever added. Not even the notch with the iPhone X felt this awkward. lol

[Coșkun-hg]

I absolutely love the message you convey at the end of the video. We sometimes easily forget what's more important!

[HeyDudeJude]

Dude, as a fellow dad with young kids….the beginning and ending of this video hit home. Great way to make the point of what actually matters when getting a phone these days.

[LuisManuelSandoval]

Best intro ever!! Beautiful family, congratulations

[fraghead]

The camera control "button" is simply a miss by Apple. Just change it to a fingerprint sensor with other functions, capitalize on the action button and keep er movin

It’s great that there are so many great choices is the phone market. My Samsung S21 just died and I brought an iPhone 16 pro to replace it. Last iPhone I had was an iPhone 3. I have been really enjoying it so far. The iPhone now has most of the features I liked in android e.g. Widgets, USB C, extra security to open apps. Really great there is 2 healthy ecosystems as Google and Apple both encourage each over to innovate and improve their products.

I made the Full switch from a s22+ and as a long time android user to a 16 pro with apple series 9 and I'm loving it all honestly all of my prior issues with ios have generally been resolved

120hz on a phone doens't matter, you are going to love it and notice it heavyly in the beginning, the first week or two, after that.. you don't notice it and the same when you go back to 60 hz.
I kinda want the pro because of it, but I also know exactly what I just said... I'll love the smoothness for a week or two and after that.. it really don't matter a single freakin bit.

I also switched to Android for a bit, but I couldn't deal with the missing things.. such as the connection between your phone, airpods, Apple TV etc. etc. So I went back to iPhone.

Edit: To the kids replying below, please learn to read a text and understand what is written, rather than interpreting your own fictionating reading from very simple comments.

Would I like a cheaper iphone, do I think the iphones and the basemodel price is expensive and too close to the pro models etc. etc., would I like 120 hz on the standard model... YES!
But that was not what this was about.

The point is already made, but let me make it crystal clear... if 120hz is the ONLY reason you'd get a pro, then don't... it's not worth it and won't make a difference in the end. Save money, get the base model.

GL.

People are returning this phone, Apple never thought it out properly at all, the capture button is always in the way and does random stuff because it’s a natural way of holding your phone .WASTE

[KevinDavyWhite]

A very good video and message Pete. Thank you again.

[jacobmurray]

The ease of the apple eco system is the only thing stopping me from going over to android. I use my watch for fitness tracking, I use an Apple TV and I’m typing out this comment from my iPad….. I have tested a lot of android phones as I work for a mobile network and love the customisation but apple is just so easy and intuitive. Nothing is as smooth and seamless.

[raduser]

There are a million tech reviewers out there, so it's hard not to get totally overwhelmed by all of the opinions offered. Pete, yours is one of the few that I have discovered is informative, concise, and well thought out. Really enjoyed how you emphasized going back and viewing photos of your family life. Well done. And because of your analysis of long distance photos, I have decided to go with the Pro as well. Thanks.

[nicholasrobinson]

Your weather widget at 9:07 is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while! Great video as usual!

[Ciangi]

I love my 16 pro max it’s actually runs smother then my 14 pro max and way better battery life. I like the smaller bezel too

[Alex-spyo]

So what's the point that we missed? I watched the whole video and still don't understand

[jeremy]

Kudos to you on that closing remark. 300% agree. People miss the point too often!

[mt.sefuri]

I think the photo montage in the beginning is the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I've always like the Android software but have used the iPhone back from 2018-2021. I went to iCloud to look at my old photos and got reminded how fun times were for me. Maybe I should return to iOS.

[thomrhodes]

Pete, the end of the video was beautiful. The words; shots; music. Perfect. 👌
