I have a 13 Pro Max and... it's honestly still so good, I don't really feel like an upgrade. The cameras are amazing, especially shooting with ProRaw. Everything else still works flawlessly - battery life, gaming performance, basic daily use stuff. The 16 Pro series just isn't a big enough difference yet to be worth it. They're great phones for people who need something new, but I'm not one of those people. If they can put a 48mp telephoto in the 17 or 18, and significantly improve battery life on 5G... that'll probably push me over the edge.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience!😊 The 13 Pro Max had them all (apart from USB-C, really). I know that, battery wise, it was a monster. Glad to hear it still works great, and I hope more people get to see this comment! S.N.
Same. I love my 13 pro max. Over the weight and color but that’s it. I had the 15 pro max and 16 pro and both got returned. The battery was awful on both. The 15 PM kept overheating. I’ll try the 17.
Interesting! I heard about some heating issues with the 15 Pro and Pro Max, but the ones that I've seen seemed fine to me. Good for you, though, the 13 PM is still a very good phone. S.N.
The phone looks even more rounded because the corners are even more curved than before. I actually felt this in person last month, when I saw the 16 Pro Max in person last month, and, I immediately noticed the ROUNDER corners, and I'm not even an iPhone user. I've NEVER had an iPhone, and still I noticed it. That's when I Googled the Corner Radius of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and YES! I was right. It is different. I ALWAYS presumed that EVERY iPhone has had the EXACT same Corner Radius, turns out, I was wrong. Learnt something new that day.
I could also see the more rounded corners (in relation to my iPhone 13), but the thinner bezels also amplify the effect. Thank you for sharing your input, very interesting! S.N.
Hey bro Super good video loved it ❤ I have question ⁉️ I'm normal user just do lite gaming and sometime use camera and social media so will iPhone 16 pro battery will stay lo g for whole day or should I go for 16 pro max Pls clear brother pro battery this year is enough for a day?....
Well, I would say it should be enough for a day, but long-term it will need additional charging. If you are not a heavy user, it should be fine, but keep in mind that cameras and games are in the top 3 battery drainers for a phone. As a recommendation, if you are worried about the battery life, I'd suggest you to look for 13/14/15 Pro Max. All of them have excellent battery life, take great photos, and can handle any game. Hope this helps.😊 S.N.
When I was looking into getting a newer iPhone from what I had from the 8 Plus initially I was going for the 14 but the 15 was running for the same price. Even with the 16 being the same as well, I wasn’t really that impressed by the AI stuff and camera button. Either way, I knew that I was in for a major upgrade and I love my 15. Oddly enough my current phone feels smaller than the 8 Plus because of the way the iPhone has been designed so different from the 10 onwards.
As long as you don't mind the 60 Hz dispaly, you made the best choice! And yes, the aspect ratio of today's phones really makes them seem small compared with the smartphones from that time, hence we can accommodate 6.8" or even 6.9" screens now. Hope you will keep enjoying your new phone! ☺️ S.N.
@ I haven’t really cared about the refresh rate and this upgrade has felt far greater than even going from the 6 to 8 Plus which felt pretty big at the time four years ago. I feel like if I could make my 8 Plus last four years without even attempting to do that, then I could easily make this 15 last that long at minimum.
Congrats🎉nice review! You posted the US prices, for a iphone bought from Verizon or AT&T. In Costco or any other places, like in Roumania, prices are way higher: 2500 $ fot 1 Tb version for e.g. Thank you again for The insight!
Thank you for the feedback and the comment! Oh wow, $2500 is simply outrageous. I thought the prices they show on their US website are the same all over the country. I learnt something new today, thank you! 🫡 S.N.
I don’t understand. You transferred WhatsApp conversations 9 days ago when you switched to S24 Ultra and you lost some of your conversation history. Now again??? How? This should be one of your basics….
This is not my phone. I switched to the S24U and had no issues with WhatsApp. This is someone else's phone, and it was me who did the transfer. I switched from iPhone 13 to Samsung Galaxy S24U. This was a switch from an iPhone 11 to the 16 Pro. I am not it's owner, I just had it for a week to test. Hope that clarifies everything. S.N.
What do you think...would you buy an iPhone 16? 🤔 If not, what would you get instead? 📱
5 zoom is why I upgraded. Have the 14 pro as my backup. Very happy with the 16 pro so far. My camera now and I am a street photographer
