iPhone 16 Pro: HORRIBLE experience! [3 Month Review]

I've been using the iPhone 16 Pro Max for 3 months now and this phone has been nothing but problems. Many are also facing the same issues along with iOS 18. Lets not even mention the horrible photos app...

The Camera Control button is borderline useless.

I have the iPhone 16 pro max with the screen unresponsiveness issue since day one. Very annoying, several updates released so far but this issue does not go away.

I’ve had the 16 Pro Max since launch day and I’ve had no issues at all but I do hear a lot of people saying they’ve had issues. Only complaint I have is that the camera control button sucks!

[jasonjones]

I have the 16 pro max and it’s been fine.

So people want better battery life but Apple and Samsung will release a slim variant with likely smaller battery and therefore less battery life because that's the logic, right?

I have most of what you encountered with my iPhone 13. Camera crushed, typing problem, misjudging hand gesture often, photo app crushed that it turned into bright pink screen, connecting problems and many others... all the problems started from the beginning. Really, I think this will be my last iPhone!

you have a lemon, just got my iphone 16 pm and it takes me almost 3 days to drain. not heavy on social media, here and there. no screen issues as well. everything perfect. im in 18.2. cameras are also fine.

[techimposter]

Just played with the 16ProMax, after using a 13ProMax, for yrs…was so tempted to upgrade, but imma wait till the 17ProMax. 13ProMax, still running smoothly.

I’ve upgraded iPhones every year since the 6, but the 15 Pro Max was buggy, and the 16 Pro Max was even worse. The lag was dangerous—imagine needing to call 911, and the Phone app won’t open. My last straw was the screen becoming completely unresponsive, forcing me to reset my iPhone as brand new (and, of course, losing TikTok). I finally switched to the S25 Ultra, and I’m not looking back!

[TerryDoesTech]

I went through two 16 Pro Maxes before I went back to the s24 ultra. Apple really dropped the ball on this release.

[VeronicaLopez-vh]

I regret getting the phone . Everything you said for the most part is what I experienced... battery, lagging text/screen, car play is now crapola, freezes, etc. So I got back on my S24ultra. Waiting on the S25

My iPhone 16 Pro Max has horrendous battery life, laggy performance and a camera that's too inaccurate. I switched to a "slower" Pixel 9 Pro and it's been so good. I may pick up a OnePlus 13 as well since it's got really good reviews. Apple hasn't been the same the last few years since the epic 13 Pro Max. I'm glad to be out of the walled garden finally.

I traded my 13PM for my 16PM. This phone has it quirks, and so far, the jury is out. One weird one - the microphone will randomly stop working. It might work for weeks at a time, and then act up for a couple days. Voice to text, and it will just stop. Only way to fix is to reboot the whole phone, not just the app I'm in. Camera button is also useless, awkward to use, and very unresponsive when changing setting using it. On the other hand, battery life is awesome. Display is good, and of course it's very fast.

[realdjroberto]

I had to swap my device three times before, I finally got a working iPhone 16 Pro Max. Good luck.

[StelmachsWorld]

I think it’s your individual phone. My 16 Pro Max has been a pleasure to use.

[Rinnara]

Dang it. Horrendous experience you’ve been having, I’d get that phone replaced. My 16PM is so perfect that now I’m scared to update it and get bugs 😂 I’m on iOS 18.2, got the 16PM end of November and it’s easily the best phone I’ve ever had.

[MrJ.]

I wonder if it's more than just an Iphone 16 issue. My wife has had a 13 Pro with no issues until around September of this year. Now her phone calls give her problems and her camera is constantly blurring faces regardless of how many times she cleans the lenses

[adityaukani]

I too have 16pro max and facing the same problem of touch unresponsiveness and it is so annoying. Never thought of this after paying this much of bucks. Apple sucks, they should solve this issue by bringing an update.

I’ve had a iPhone 16 pro for a month now no issues at all battery life is great! No complaints at all
