I would like to buy the iPhone 16+ but 60HZ is a deal breaker when even cheap Chinese phones have 120HZ, I feel like I'd be getting ripped off by paying close to $1, 000) for it, heck even my $200 tv is 60HZ

The base model iPhones are far more feature rich and capable than previous years devices and spec levels are closer than ever before to the pros and for the majority of people this is the one to get.

Would be nice to see comparisons to older iPhones people are likely upgrading from like iPhone 11/12/13

@01:28 That was so not a light press, the whole iPhone shaked!

Apple 16 fixes a problem we didn't need fixing

I really like the camera arrangement of the iPhone 16 & 16 Plus, they looked clean and simple. I think they're borrowed from the iPhone X series mixed with the iPhone 11/12 camera design.
And, this might be the last iPhone Plus model.
Next year, we'll see the new iPhone 17 Slim.

Thank god, the looks got more simple and less showy. Great❤

That’s quite the upgrade from my iPhone 12 so I’m happy when I get mine.

Hey, so I need some recommendations, so I got the iPhone 13 (basic MD) it has last me all this time with a. Battery health of 86%, i thought at first to wait just one more year, but I kinda want a new phone with good cams, since also having 128gb of storage, and being somone who takes quite a lot of photos I would need more storage, so if I do upgrade this year should I go for, iPhone 16 basic (256gb) iPhone 16 plus, (256gb) or pro/max (256gb) I’ve been thinking a lot and can’t choose so if you got recommendations please lmk

128Gb in 2024, in a $900 phone. What a f-ing joke, especially considering that 1Gb of this memory is about 30cents per GB, much cheaper for Apple since they buy a lot of it, most likely at least 20cents, if not 15. But even if they pay average its still less than $50 for 128Gb.

The plus model is a great choice if you want to save some money.

[teebeeonline]

nah! I rather touch the main screen than tickling that action button 🙃

[KUDZIE]

I see the scrollwheel on Windows mobile phones coming back on future phones

[orienv]

iPhones with smallest improvements ever: Get's sht ton of videos
Phones that truly changed the game: NONE.

This Is Underrte Best Phone of Iphones

[nielsjosefsen]

Meanwhile my my moto g04 at 146 ish $ gas 90 Hz refresh rate.

[aronumichael]

60hz for an almost $1k phone is wicked from apple

[ibrahimghalwash]

If you buy iphone 13 pro or 14 pro or 15 pro, it's better and cheaper than the 16 plus, the display better and extra camera and the rest are the same
