@@jacquesoss8900 Yes it does, which is why that’s as far back as I went in this video. The generation before the XR was the X and 8, which only supports up to iOS 16.

@@nickbradley yup. For most tech-people, unless there’s a significant hardware change that applies to their specific niche, then they won’t buy it, cause they already have that solution with them. The reason why I’m upgrading from a 13 pro max to a 16 pro max is the 4K-120hz video recording. I go off-road and film a lot offroad. That 4K 120hz slow motion is far better than any camcorder you can buy today that has the same storage (both hardware and cloud) features and options for slow-mo and ultra-wide shots.
I upgraded from iPhone SE 2020 to iPhone 16 Plus and I’m so satisfied with battery life. Such an insane upgrade I did and I believe I won’t upgrade for few years ❤
Don’t go for the 14 go for the 16 I know it’s more expensive but ultimately it’s worth it. It will have longer support, more features and a better battery so it’s better to just spend that extra money in the long term.
if you’re trying to save a few bucks get the 13 since there’s kinda no differences between the 14 and 13 except for price, but like other commenters have said i think getting a newer model with USB-C will really be worth it in the long run since you keep your phone for a while
I hate that Apple is forcing people to upgrade through the Apple Intelligence, saying that phones under the 15 pro DOESN'T support AI, while I have an exploited iPhone 13 with enabled Apple Intelligence spoofing the Device Model to iPhone 15 Pro on the iOS 18.1 Beta 4.

That demonstrates that A15 and below devices CAN support Apple Intelligence, it's just Apple forcing users to upgrade. This is so ridicolous

most people only compare the 16 to the 15, love to see you talk about all the supported phones. I got the 15 pro 256 at launch and am keeping it for this year as well.
I think the thing is that a lot of the changes aren’t like appealing to a lot of people. Not everyone is super into tech so a lot doesn’t matter to them. My biggest issue with Apple is when they list something as pro but then put it on the base model like the Dynamic Island and action button. Like you got the iPhone 14 Pro because of the Dynamic Island and then the base 15 gets it. Then the action button is a pro feature for the 15 pro then the base 16 gets it. Idk that bothers me but great video btw as well.

The iPhone 15 is a great phone, congrats on the upcoming upgrade!
I bought base iph 15 this year and super satisfied with everything. IOS 18 even boosted battery life and you wont have any problems. A16 bionic chip in it is super fast and you wont have problems in gaming or just surfing on net
I have a regular iPhone 15 256 GB for work and already had a Galaxy S24 Ultra before I got the iPhone from my employer. I upgradred from the Samsung S20 Plus to S24 Ultra before and have always been an Android user. I ported my private phone number to the business phone and my employer got me a a dual sim card for both phones. These are good options for both iOS and Android, I like the compact and lightweight iPhone. It has a pretty good main camera but is lacking the telephoto options. Also Face ID is superior to fingerprint. At the moment we're getting the regular iPhone model every two years for work, so if this circle is kept up the base iPhone 17 will be next. As a benefit we can keep the old ones for free after transferring the company managed apps to the new phone and a factory reset.
To be honest. I’m on a XR and I feel like I’m gonna upgrade to a IPhone 13. I’ve had my iPhone XR for many years just like my original iPhone SE. I think it’s time I do get it by now because I feel like it’s worth upgrading to a iPhone 13 because honestly. I don’t really like the newer iPhones. Just kinda the same product as the iPhone 11.
I have the iphone xr, just got this from my parents as an early Christmas gift. Althought the 16 does look nice i didnt wanna ask for anything expensive 😂 maybe one day 3 years from now ill upgrade again
Hello frst time here and nice video !! My contract will end soon and i have the s23ultra , witch phone do you recomend for a average user ? of course i love large screen ,a good batterie and always on display ,good camera .here in Canada the 16plus 128gb is 1,279$ and the 256gb 1,429$. And the 16pro max 256gb is 1,749$ ,yup so expensive here . Do you recomend a contract or i should buy the phone cash and only have my monthly my cellular plan ?
The Always-On display is only available on the pro-models. It's a little tricky for me to answer on how to best purchase the phone. It depends on a number of factors about your specific situation. Overall, if you can afford to buy it outright, then I'd say do that. But I've had good experience with contracts too. You can also consider a 15 Pro Max. It has a large screen, always on display, supports Apple Intelligence, and should be less expensive!
1. 99 % people use action button for mute 2. That camara button is useless just gimmick 3. AI,since its delivered on phone rather than cloud, apple make it so that you need to upgrade new phone every year to get more ai features . I would rather stick to chat gpt Only thing i want as an upgrade is 120 herz, it is too much to ask for a 800 dollar phone
I am so happy you made this video! I am tired of people seeking for yearly changes. I really like apple because they are minimalistic and don’t change the design completely each year. The internal design and the specifications do change which is great! Why should apple reinvent the wheel? 😂
I really liked how you showed the new features of the iPhone 16, I believe it was the most detailed video I've seen about it. However, still, I don't think Apple has really invested in this model. I expected more. And the design didn't please me, the lenses are too big. I confess that I miss the old design, with smaller cell phones and a home button. I'm using the iPhone 11 64GB and it meets all my needs. The biggest problem is at the moment is that the battery health is at 78%. For me, it would be quite an upgrade if I switched to the 14 Pro 128GB. (For context, it is important to say that here in Brazil an iPhone 16 can cost more than R$10,000).
I agree. I didn’t focus too much on the pro differences over the years, but an upgrade from an 11 to 14 pro would be significant. One of the only real downsides to the 14 is it was the last to use lightning (instead of USB-C), but if that’s not an issue I think it’s a great choice.
I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I could upgrade but I don’t feel like it’s worth $1200. Like yeah it’s better but I’m just gonna get my battery and screen replaced for $400 and wait for the phone to get laggy, no updates anymore or the 2nd battery to degrade. By then iPhones will prob improve a lot more where the upgrades are a massive jump besides something that’s nice but not worth the money. If I’m spending $1k+ I wanna go “wow this is SO much better/insane” not “oh this is slightly better, cool”
Exactly, you want to get what you pay for. I know that overall after the 2-year protection plan from Walmart (I have Straight Talk so getting my phone from there) alongside the Otterbox case the total for an iPhone 15 for me will be about $1,050 including taxes as well. However, I am on an iPhone 8 Plus that’s four years old and on a 73% battery health so I know I would be upgrading majorly for the price I’d pay for when I do get the 15.
a 14 pro or hell a 13 pro would be a better option than a base 16, might be expecting slightly worse battery life and no apple intelligence, but the pro motion is a necessity, more so than the small unnecessary features
i got the basic 16 couple days after launch before i had the iphone XR i battery life needed service the phone said i had low storage even tho i had like 30gb left and the pixels where broken so i needed a big upgrade
I’m going to be upgrading from the 11 to the 16 in Teal. Seeing everyone talk about the refresh rate has me reconsidering my choices :( did I do the right thing? My 11 is functioning amazingly, it’s just I have slight issues with its battery life and storage, otherwise it’s working perfectly fine. I just needed an upgrade because of the camera.
The 16 is a fantastic phone, and I don’t think you’ll regret it. If you none of your other screens are 120Hz (or if they are and the 11 doesn’t bother you) you won’t have any issues with the 16. It’s the type of thing you ONLY notice when you’re used to it, and then stop using it.
@@nickbradley I haven’t experienced 120Hz on the Pro models ever because they cost an arm and a leg!! 😂 Here’s to hoping I won’t regret the 16 either!! Even though it would be amazing if Apple started putting 120Hz in their base models.
Thank you! I wanted to include the SE’s into this video too, but it was starting to get too long. I may indeed make a separate video just on the SE upgrades. The video I linked at the end (spoiler alert) is all about the iPhone SE 4 😉
@@nickbradley Nice! 😊 Maybe you’ll make a SE video too, that way I’d know the upgrades I’d be getting. Maybe you could also make a short for fun about the iPhone 1! What It’ll really do is show how far the iPhones come!
@@FunTechVideos Haha I love that iPhone 1 idea a lot! And I probably will make the SE video, but it’ll likely be later this year or beginning of next year 🙃
@@nickbradley Okay thanks! Maybe on the more sooner side, you could make an Apple Watch Series 10 vs older models. I have the series 4, and I’ve thought about upgrading.
Why on earth would you do the order of iPhones backwords? Good video tho! Edit: i just didn’t get the concept of showing the features based on the iphone you’re coming from. Just started at iphone 11 and going to 16 while naming the new features per phonr wouldve made more sense
It's just the flow that made the most sense to me. 😅 It's kind of like tiers. If you're upgrading from a 1 year old phone, you get this. If you're upgrading from a 2 year old phone, you get everything already mentioned + this. If you're upgrading from a 3 year old phone, you get everything already mentioned + this, and so on... Thanks for watching and the comment!
I think that's a great upgrade! It of course depends on more factors other than just the feature upgrades. How you use your phone, the current performance/battery life, and just various costs associated with upgrading should play a role in whether or not you upgrade. But if you do - you're gonna notice a difference.
I’m not exactly sure what’s required to record spatial video, but it first appeared on the iPhone 15 Pro. All the previous pro’s have the same camera layout, but don’t support it.
I don’t think you talked about iPhone 15, Iam confused and not sure whether to buy 15 pro/pro max, or the base iPhone 16, please give me some information and advise. Upgrading from an Samsung s21 ultra
ngl after a few months with the 15 i'm starting to think that i should've went with the 14 pro instead, it has the dynamic island and the telephoto lens (i honestly use the 2x zoom in my 15 more than the 0.5x so i could've benefited with the telephoto lens) and of course a white color. but hey i'm enjoying my 15 so maybe in 4 years i'll switch to the pro for telephoto 😂. i came from the 11 so the real upgrade was the camera! the back camera is waaaaay better than the 11 and the action mode is really useful, the dynamic island looks more aesthetically pleasing than the notch but i really could care less about it.
@@HHh-z2q3r Interesting question. The big differences between them is the pro has an extra telephoto lens (only 3x on the 6.1” 15 Pro), 120 Hz promotion display, and the USB-C port on the pro has 20x faster transfer speeds. The regular 16 has the camera control, but I don’t think that’s good enough reason to choose that one. I think I’d actually go with the 15 Pro.
@@nimatibrahim1494 Yeah, I should have said “or older.” This video focuses on all the iPhone models that support iOS 18, which goes back to the iPhone XR and XS. Everything before that has stopped receiving major software updates.
I use a 13 mini and I’m disappointed that there’s not a mini option anymore. I was actually thinking about going a back to a X however because of the 3D Touch feature.
@@zombieboy2017 that’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard I have a 14 coming from an X and it’s a huge upgrade keep your 13 mini my friend has one and it’s awesome
According to Apple's website, the iPhone 16 has sensor-shift optical image stabilization, and the 16 Pro's have second-generation sensor-shift optical image stabilization. Very interesting! I missed that one.
@@nickbradley yea great! I think iphone 16 is definitely worth an upgrade then! I just got mine a couple of days ago, I immediately noticed how stable the camera was
In short if u have a older iphone(iphone 11 or older i wud say), upgrading to either the 13 or straight to the 16 seems like the play to me. Or if the leaks are anything to trust getting the new iphone se is a really good ides too. Depends on ur budget, personally i would say people should avoid buyinh the 12 or the 14, the iphone 12’s battery life isnt great and the iphone 14 is just the iphone 13.
Nah I’ll keep using my iPhone 11 The screen is perfectly fine, the battery at 72% capacity still stands strong and I don’t really need neither a better camera, nor a better cpu 5G isn’t even available in my country as well as chatGPT so these are cosmetic features to me I’ll only upgrade once base models get 120Hz or at least 90Hz display Oh and btw I use IOS 15.7 and sometimes older versions of apps are better than newer ones because they aren’t flooded with pointless features
Respectfully, Apple doesn't make enough of a change in my opinion to upgrade every year. I think Androids in general offers more for different budgets. I'm an android user and the only reason if I'll get an iPhone isn't because of what it offers. But rather just the convenience for others. Which at that point sounds stupid because basically all I'm saying is to help y'all Apple user avoid your green text discrimination. The cost is me buying a phone that is essentially a class worth of tuition.
I agree with your first point, and that’s actually why I made this video. Based on the phone you’re coming from, you can see the year over year accumulation of features, and determine if enough has changed to make it worth it. I think iPhone 12 and older is a good spot for most people who are wondering if they should upgrade. But everyone’s situation is different. I’m glad Apple finally added RCS support, so messaging between iPhone and Android should finally be getting a lot better.

This was my first time making a video like this, so I’ll be sure to do it for more phones in the future.
The iPhone 15 is a great phone, congrats on the upcoming upgrade!
@@nickbradleyOkay! Thank you
I bought base iph 15 this year and super satisfied with everything. IOS 18 even boosted battery life and you wont have any problems. A16 bionic chip in it is super fast and you wont have problems in gaming or just surfing on net
Just got an Iphone 12 2023 build, I'll keep it for 2-3 years then upgrade to the best pro max at the time.
Where’d you find/buy it?
Great video . I love the way you compare each iPhone version changes vs current
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I have a regular iPhone 15 256 GB for work and already had a Galaxy S24 Ultra before I got the iPhone from my employer. I upgradred from the Samsung S20 Plus to S24 Ultra before and have always been an Android user. I ported my private phone number to the business phone and my employer got me a a dual sim card for both phones. These are good options for both iOS and Android, I like the compact and lightweight iPhone. It has a pretty good main camera but is lacking the telephoto options. Also Face ID is superior to fingerprint. At the moment we're getting the regular iPhone model every two years for work, so if this circle is kept up the base iPhone 17 will be next. As a benefit we can keep the old ones for free after transferring the company managed apps to the new phone and a factory reset.
man why does everyone ONLY have an iphone xr istg iphone x is goated
i swear no one talks about the XS either and it’s so good
Btw Spatial Capture is able to be viewed on meta quests too.
That’s good to know!
This video is great, you explained the details so well. Keep it up!
Thank you!
To be honest. I’m on a XR and I feel like I’m gonna upgrade to a IPhone 13. I’ve had my iPhone XR for many years just like my original iPhone SE. I think it’s time I do get it by now because I feel like it’s worth upgrading to a iPhone 13 because honestly. I don’t really like the newer iPhones. Just kinda the same product as the iPhone 11.
That will be a solid upgrade!
I have the iphone xr, just got this from my parents as an early Christmas gift. Althought the 16 does look nice i didnt wanna ask for anything expensive 😂 maybe one day 3 years from now ill upgrade again
10:04 yes u got USB 3 with high speed, but u also got usb 2.0 cable straight from the box
@@Smartax1307 that is true, and very lame
I'm sticking to my 12 since I recently replace the battery. I'll use it for 2/3 years on then I'll get a new one
Hello frst time here and nice video !! My contract will end soon and i have the s23ultra , witch phone do you recomend for a average user ? of course i love large screen ,a good batterie and always on display ,good camera .here in Canada the 16plus 128gb is 1,279$ and the 256gb 1,429$. And the 16pro max 256gb is 1,749$ ,yup so expensive here . Do you recomend a contract or i should buy the phone cash and only have my monthly my cellular plan ?
The Always-On display is only available on the pro-models. It's a little tricky for me to answer on how to best purchase the phone. It depends on a number of factors about your specific situation. Overall, if you can afford to buy it outright, then I'd say do that. But I've had good experience with contracts too.
You can also consider a 15 Pro Max. It has a large screen, always on display, supports Apple Intelligence, and should be less expensive!
My IPhone 7 holding on mercy 😂
1. 99 % people use action button for mute
2. That camara button is useless just gimmick
3. AI,since its delivered on phone rather than cloud, apple make it so that you need to upgrade new phone every year to get more ai features .
I would rather stick to chat gpt
Only thing i want as an upgrade is 120 herz, it is too much to ask for a 800 dollar phone
Im going to use my 11 until 20 comes out :')
Who knows, maybe they’ll release the iPhone 17’s next year, and then the iPhone 18 and iPhone XX the next year 😅
@@nickbradley prob 2X
@@WildPotaot2makes more sense tbh
Im gonna get the 16 2 years later, cuz i want my 16th birthday to be about the number 16
Uff I upgraded from 11 to 14 and now I go 16pro so I feel your pain don’t do it bro at least get 13pro or 15 pro
I am so happy you made this video! I am tired of people seeking for yearly changes. I really like apple because they are minimalistic and don’t change the design completely each year. The internal design and the specifications do change which is great! Why should apple reinvent the wheel? 😂
I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I completely agree with you.
Such a good quality and format video, thank you sir ❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
@@arshaabdehagh6871 Thank you for watching! 😁
I really liked how you showed the new features of the iPhone 16, I believe it was the most detailed video I've seen about it. However, still, I don't think Apple has really invested in this model. I expected more. And the design didn't please me, the lenses are too big. I confess that I miss the old design, with smaller cell phones and a home button.
I'm using the iPhone 11 64GB and it meets all my needs. The biggest problem is at the moment is that the battery health is at 78%. For me, it would be quite an upgrade if I switched to the 14 Pro 128GB.
(For context, it is important to say that here in Brazil an iPhone 16 can cost more than R$10,000).
I agree. I didn’t focus too much on the pro differences over the years, but an upgrade from an 11 to 14 pro would be significant. One of the only real downsides to the 14 is it was the last to use lightning (instead of USB-C), but if that’s not an issue I think it’s a great choice.
I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I could upgrade but I don’t feel like it’s worth $1200. Like yeah it’s better but I’m just gonna get my battery and screen replaced for $400 and wait for the phone to get laggy, no updates anymore or the 2nd battery to degrade. By then iPhones will prob improve a lot more where the upgrades are a massive jump besides something that’s nice but not worth the money. If I’m spending $1k+ I wanna go “wow this is SO much better/insane” not “oh this is slightly better, cool”
Exactly, you want to get what you pay for. I know that overall after the 2-year protection plan from Walmart (I have Straight Talk so getting my phone from there) alongside the Otterbox case the total for an iPhone 15 for me will be about $1,050 including taxes as well. However, I am on an iPhone 8 Plus that’s four years old and on a 73% battery health so I know I would be upgrading majorly for the price I’d pay for when I do get the 15.
a 14 pro or hell a 13 pro would be a better option than a base 16, might be expecting slightly worse battery life and no apple intelligence, but the pro motion is a necessity, more so than the small unnecessary features
I have iPhone 11 and I'll stick with it until I decide to upgrade to something like the 14 or 15 (at least 2 years from now)
i have the iphone 7 plus but i’m getting a iphone 14 for Christmas
That is going to be an amazing upgrade!
5:41 ima drop my phone and get the cops called on me
i got the basic 16 couple days after launch before i had the iphone XR i battery life needed service the phone said i had low storage even tho i had like 30gb left and the pixels where broken so i needed a big upgrade
Went from samsung a12 to iphone 11 pro im really happy
I was waiting for a companion like this. I’ll go from a 12 to a 16pro but in the new year when the first AI features start coming out.
The only change I see is that the camera take up more space and stick out more each year.
I’m going to be upgrading from the 11 to the 16 in Teal.
Seeing everyone talk about the refresh rate has me reconsidering my choices :( did I do the right thing?
My 11 is functioning amazingly, it’s just I have slight issues with its battery life and storage, otherwise it’s working perfectly fine. I just needed an upgrade because of the camera.
The 16 is a fantastic phone, and I don’t think you’ll regret it. If you none of your other screens are 120Hz (or if they are and the 11 doesn’t bother you) you won’t have any issues with the 16. It’s the type of thing you ONLY notice when you’re used to it, and then stop using it.
@@nickbradley I haven’t experienced 120Hz on the Pro models ever because they cost an arm and a leg!! 😂
Here’s to hoping I won’t regret the 16 either!! Even though it would be amazing if Apple started putting 120Hz in their base models.
Apple don’t need to do a commercials anymore, every TH-cam channel is selling us iPhones 16.
@@egorkosten 😅
Remember when iphone X was $1000 back in 2017? Now in 2024, it sucks 😢.
I had an android with 120hz screen and changed to an iphone with 60hz and i didn't notice any differense.
Just watched this on my IPhone 16. Only feature I wish I had was 120hz fps
Nice video!! Can you compare to the iPhone SE 2/3? That’s what I’m upgrading from.
Thank you! I wanted to include the SE’s into this video too, but it was starting to get too long. I may indeed make a separate video just on the SE upgrades. The video I linked at the end (spoiler alert) is all about the iPhone SE 4 😉
@@nickbradley Nice! 😊 Maybe you’ll make a SE video too, that way I’d know the upgrades I’d be getting. Maybe you could also make a short for fun about the iPhone 1! What It’ll really do is show how far the iPhones come!
@@FunTechVideos Haha I love that iPhone 1 idea a lot! And I probably will make the SE video, but it’ll likely be later this year or beginning of next year 🙃
@@nickbradley Okay thanks! Maybe on the more sooner side, you could make an Apple Watch Series 10 vs older models. I have the series 4, and I’ve thought about upgrading.
Im getting my 1st i phone which one do u guys recommend 15 pro im going to get a used phone
Why on earth would you do the order of iPhones backwords? Good video tho!
Edit: i just didn’t get the concept of showing the features based on the iphone you’re coming from. Just started at iphone 11 and going to 16 while naming the new features per phonr wouldve made more sense
It's just the flow that made the most sense to me. 😅 It's kind of like tiers. If you're upgrading from a 1 year old phone, you get this. If you're upgrading from a 2 year old phone, you get everything already mentioned + this. If you're upgrading from a 3 year old phone, you get everything already mentioned + this, and so on...
Thanks for watching and the comment!
I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max 128gb and thinking of upgrading to the iPhone 16 Pro Max 512gb or 1tb should I do it?
I think that's a great upgrade! It of course depends on more factors other than just the feature upgrades. How you use your phone, the current performance/battery life, and just various costs associated with upgrading should play a role in whether or not you upgrade. But if you do - you're gonna notice a difference.
One thing I see absolutely nobody talking about is that spatial video also works on cheaper headsets like the quest 3
Yup, I didn’t realize that - and it’s such a good call out!
@@ExplosivepotatoHD2 how do you get it on meta quest 3 tho?
@@chilliplayz1306 you use meta app to upload the video on and go on files on the vr to see the video
Currently watching this video to justify buying an iPhone 12 in about a month from now
I have an X for the long time. And it is a goated phone. I won’t upgrade to 16 unless my apps won’t updating anymore due to iOS 18.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 12 have the same camera layout so why didn’t we have spatial video on the base models then
I’m not exactly sure what’s required to record spatial video, but it first appeared on the iPhone 15 Pro. All the previous pro’s have the same camera layout, but don’t support it.
last month i upgraded to the 13 from an android phone (poco m5s).. should have waited for the release so i can get the 14 or the 15
I'm on an iPhone SE 2 right now and I think i'll wait till the iPhone 18 Pro.
I don’t think you talked about iPhone 15, Iam confused and not sure whether to buy 15 pro/pro max, or the base iPhone 16, please give me some information and advise. Upgrading from an Samsung s21 ultra
ngl after a few months with the 15 i'm starting to think that i should've went with the 14 pro instead, it has the dynamic island and the telephoto lens (i honestly use the 2x zoom in my 15 more than the 0.5x so i could've benefited with the telephoto lens) and of course a white color. but hey i'm enjoying my 15 so maybe in 4 years i'll switch to the pro for telephoto 😂.
i came from the 11 so the real upgrade was the camera! the back camera is waaaaay better than the 11 and the action mode is really useful, the dynamic island looks more aesthetically pleasing than the notch but i really could care less about it.
@@minhyuklees1bebe902 the one other nice thing about the 15 over the 14 Pro (in my opinion) is USB-C
Im using a Iphone 12 i been thinking should i just get the 14 pro or should i go for the 15 pro (im only thinking of the 15 cuz of USB-C)
USB-C is a game changer.
im so exited im gonna get it!
Love it! What phone are you upgrading from?
@@nickbradley iPhone 12 Pro Max (:
@@iambruhhh Great upgrade!!
@@nickbradley yea im pretty exited I've been saving up since I was 5 now im 10 and I FINALLY have $800!!!(:
What should I get 15 pro or normal 16 ?
@@HHh-z2q3r Interesting question.
The big differences between them is the pro has an extra telephoto lens (only 3x on the 6.1” 15 Pro), 120 Hz promotion display, and the USB-C port on the pro has 20x faster transfer speeds. The regular 16 has the camera control, but I don’t think that’s good enough reason to choose that one.
I think I’d actually go with the 15 Pro.
0:13. Sorry did you mean "if you have an iPhone 10,8 or before that" could you clarify please I'm kinda confused
@@nimatibrahim1494 Yeah, I should have said “or older.” This video focuses on all the iPhone models that support iOS 18, which goes back to the iPhone XR and XS. Everything before that has stopped receiving major software updates.
@@nickbradley oh ok. Thanks for the replies, really helpful 👍!
Me watching this on an iPhone 6 plus 😭😭
I'm hoping I can upgrade to the 16 (pro) from my 11
I use a 13 mini and I’m disappointed that there’s not a mini option anymore. I was actually thinking about going a back to a X however because of the 3D Touch feature.
@@zombieboy2017 that’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard I have a 14 coming from an X and it’s a huge upgrade keep your 13 mini my friend has one and it’s awesome
This the most dumbest thing I have ever heard bro keep ur 13 mini.
does the ip16 base have the mechanical stabilization like the pros?
According to Apple's website, the iPhone 16 has sensor-shift optical image stabilization, and the 16 Pro's have second-generation sensor-shift optical image stabilization. Very interesting! I missed that one.
@@nickbradley yea great! I think iphone 16 is definitely worth an upgrade then! I just got mine a couple of days ago, I immediately noticed how stable the camera was
I have a regular 14
wishing i got the 16 series insted of the 15 cus as an android user id be programming the thing to google assistant lol
Bro, they lieing fr, mrwhosetheboss did a battery test and the android s24 ultra won with twice the battery life
In short if u have a older iphone(iphone 11 or older i wud say), upgrading to either the 13 or straight to the 16 seems like the play to me. Or if the leaks are anything to trust getting the new iphone se is a really good ides too. Depends on ur budget, personally i would say people should avoid buyinh the 12 or the 14, the iphone 12’s battery life isnt great and the iphone 14 is just the iphone 13.
Why upgrade to the 13
why uprade to 13??
I literally just updated to iPhone 16 haha
Will the 15 pro max be getting genmogi?
Yes it will!
Il keep my 13 until it stops getting ios updated
the bpm in the background reminds me of thousand march from pizza tower but slower... but maybe that's just my video game ptsd!
Nah I’ll keep using my iPhone 11
The screen is perfectly fine, the battery at 72% capacity still stands strong and I don’t really need neither a better camera, nor a better cpu
5G isn’t even available in my country as well as chatGPT so these are cosmetic features to me
I’ll only upgrade once base models get 120Hz or at least 90Hz display
Oh and btw I use IOS 15.7 and sometimes older versions of apps are better than newer ones because they aren’t flooded with pointless features
All great points! Early rumors are already suggesting the entire lineup next year will be getting 120Hz displays.
I’m on a 13 upgrading to a 15plus
I only kept the iPhone 14 Peo for a few months until upgrading to the iPhone 16 Pro, because I WAS FORCED TO BY APPLE BECAUSE OF AI
I still got my iphone 12 trying to update it to an iphone 15 or 14 pro
15 vs 14 Pro
or
15 Pro vs 14 Pro
I have an iPhone 7 Plus but im not upgrading it i refuse to upgrade my iPhone
That’s my iPhone in the middle of the thumbnail ;)
beautiful thumbnail, satisfying af.
nah just look on versus and compare iphone 12 and iphone 16 its crazy
This guy was talking like he was paid by Apple😂
I did work for them in the past 😳 Now I’m just a fan
Who pays for Netflix anymore ? I don't even stream their shows illegally.
Respectfully, Apple doesn't make enough of a change in my opinion to upgrade every year. I think Androids in general offers more for different budgets. I'm an android user and the only reason if I'll get an iPhone isn't because of what it offers. But rather just the convenience for others. Which at that point sounds stupid because basically all I'm saying is to help y'all Apple user avoid your green text discrimination. The cost is me buying a phone that is essentially a class worth of tuition.
I agree with your first point, and that’s actually why I made this video. Based on the phone you’re coming from, you can see the year over year accumulation of features, and determine if enough has changed to make it worth it. I think iPhone 12 and older is a good spot for most people who are wondering if they should upgrade. But everyone’s situation is different.
I’m glad Apple finally added RCS support, so messaging between iPhone and Android should finally be getting a lot better.
