Thought it was just me but my screen freezes too. Sometimes after I use Face ID it takes me to Siri suggestions and then just freezes. I have to restart the phone. Another one is where it connects to wifi and then disconnects and then connects and disconnects. Sad part is when it disconnects from Wifi and I am sending a message to an Android user it fails or when I open my browser it does not go to the site and times out.
I went from the pro max to the 16 pro this year and I’m much happier with the size. The battery life has been good too. The size of the pro max is ridiculous now.
@@stevenmartinez8748 the 16 pro has better battery than 15 pro, but worse than 15 pro max. The 16 pro max has unbeatable battery from the tests and comparisons i've seen
Im new to IOS so my opinion is from an Android(Samsung) user who migrated to Apple. Bought the iPhone 16 Pro Max 512. First day of use the keyboard felt somewhat glitchy but after updating to 18.1 the keyboard is smooth now. I see a whole lot of people complaining about freezing and all. Ive never had any freezing issues, no issues whatsoever with mine. I watched the Apple Intelligence intro videos and that’s why i was sold and honestly I’m pretty happy with what they have now. Honestly speaking most of you guys complaining never really need some of the features you wished it had. I mean i can copy whatever on my MacBook and paste on my iphone. Proof reading and even summarizing my emails and articles. I can pretty much use my phone without even having to touch my screen. Built quality feels good, feels good on the hand. Audio is really good, camera is really really really good. Im a photographer by profession and i been shooting really nice videos and photos on my phone. I’m very happy with my choice honestly.
In the US and I also noticed my iPhone not "just working" like it used to years before. The keyboard feels glitchy, reception seems more scarce, and the apps randomly crash
16 plus- so much of this myself, freezing/ non responsive apps, stuttering on maps, Safari completely non responsive, 5G network and NO signal the list goes on. 18.2 still the same problems. Re camera control; i gave up through frustration preferring to use the main screen. Its switched off completely now. On the good- battery is excellent and camera images are amazing as point and shoot
Personally speaking, Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is far ahead in features and performance than the 16 Pro Max.. 16 ro Max freezes half of the times, and they even didnt fix it in the latest update 😂, the only good thing about 16 Pro Max is its camera for content creation, nothing else..
QUICK QUESTION. THE AOD does it move or pixel shift or not cuz i have used androids and have an s24 ultra that doesnt move but does have pixel shift Does the iphone have it too. I want the AOD but im afraid of Screen Burn In ?????
I don’t think so, but I could be wrong. I don’t see burning being an issue because the AOD does not stay on endlessly, and if you wear an Apple Watch and you’re away from the phone it turns off + if you are putting it in your pocket it’s off as well. When it’s on my nightstand sleeping it’s not always on, it stays on for a while and turns off.
I'm honestly curious who's your carrier... if it's TELUS / Koodo / Public then what you're saying makes sense. the TELUS network is just having issues for the last 2 years for me. it's better on my pixel 9 Pro XL, but it's still not what I remember TELUS being quality wise. A lot have said they're pulling out all the Huawei network stuff, but it's been about 2 years since TELUS has started having these strange network issues like you described about the apps just spinning and loading forever.
Had issues on the bell network (so Telus towers) and now using freedom, which is Roger’s towers. It’s just the modem on the iPhone sadly, it’s horrible!
Iphones have always been terrible for cellular reception... Take it from a former cellular phone sales 18 years & especially in rural area of Northern Michigan.
Yeah I agree. I’ve always had that complaint with them as well. But I was surprised the 16PM seemed better at surface level, at home giving me a better signal. But I’ve picked up on how bad it’s truly been lately, and MAN I cant.
@valismind Very few reviewers even talk about reception, which you'd think would be #1 priority. It's the most basic of functions. More like meh is fine... ok but how fine is it actually COMPARED to. VERY little actual information on that topic.
To be honest if other company will release a incomplete phone with all the marketing around a feature you are not going to be able to use in the next 6 moths or in some cases in the next year, that company will be in a serius problem... but not Apple, I've been hearing comments for friends somethin like "I don't need IA for anything, I just need a good phone" or "Apple is a head of other companies you will see" and I'm here with my iphone 15 pro max with the worse battery experience after updating to IOS 18 with some persistent bugs and I don't really think Apple is a head of anyone, it is just catching up
Yup. Apple has fallen very behind actually. The quality of the device/ and the hardware is great. But the software is so so so far behind what’s out now.
How3's that AI situation going on? There yet? Android had it for almost a year now. Ditch that shit from apple and grab yourself something worth the money - Android from the same price shelf would do just perfect.
Too much fussing about nothing regarding the dynamic island. It's right in the name..."dynamic". If they can shrink the Face ID sensors they will and the island being dynamic can shrink if you're watching video content or playing a game. Yes, it's an iconic part of the look, but it's not a limitation. The hardware is for now.
I’ve had a very good experience but it has been dependant on iOS updates. It seems like it goes from being horrendous to amazing. Not sure why. IOS is NOT very stable this time around.
It’s easy to chalk it up to complaining - I really like this phone, it’s great in a lot of areas - but at the end of the day, it’s $1300 and is honestly unusable at times.

YES MAN IT IS SO FRUSTRATING!!

The size of the pro max is ridiculous now.
You think so?? I did the same thing but my battery life has been pretty bad on the 16 pro versus my 15 pro max.

Touch ID Should Be integrated on the Capture Button.
Even more So That Majority of Case Companies leave that CutOut Open.
Do you think they'll fix the touch and freezing issues soon? This really bums me out because i really wanted to upgrade to the 16PM from the 13

That's why Apple are trying to make their own 5g modem into the new iPhone SE lol
I appreciate paying attention to reception issues
I have the iPhone 16 pro max and I love it I have the black titanium one camera is Amazing
Dynamic Island is great, it's not a gimmick as far as I'm concerned
🐊 Came from 12PM to 16PM. Quite a significant upgrade for me 🐊
Dear Apple,
You can’t even make a voice recognition feature that works well.
I damn sure don’t want your “intelligence.”
Honest opinion.
Do you think the iPhone 16 Pro Max is better than the Google Pixel 9 Pro Xl?
Personally speaking, Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is far ahead in features and performance than the 16 Pro Max.. 16 ro Max freezes half of the times, and they even didnt fix it in the latest update 😂, the only good thing about 16 Pro Max is its camera for content creation, nothing else..
I have heard freezes about the screen and camera and touch issues. Should I buy the 15 pro max instead? Someone advice me
Buy the 15 pro/max wait till the 18 most kinks should be gone by then.
@dragonite4242 seems the screen freezing is also in the 15 series. The ios update needs to fix these issues. Am going with the 16pm
Get the pixel 9 pro XL. Better phone overall and cheaper
2 months and 4 days lol!! Those spigen cases look so fresh!
Careful, Tim Cook will call in a tactical strike on your location for saying how bad iOS 18/iphone 16 is lol.
QUICK QUESTION.
THE AOD does it move or pixel shift or not cuz i have used androids and have an s24 ultra that doesnt move but does have pixel shift
Does the iphone have it too. I want the AOD but im afraid of Screen Burn In ?????
I just want to know this can you confirm that

When it’s on my nightstand sleeping it’s not always on, it stays on for a while and turns off.
I have a ipad and a Huawei tab. Ipad cant find the home network on the table,Huawei woks fine.
Been waiting for your video bro! 🙏
Also I’ll echo what you said, as my 15 pro max has been buggy since the update. Just waiting for that galaxy to drop in January lol
Much love thank you!
Ahhhhhhh it’s so sad and I know me too 😂

@valismind interesting
Nice review. I take it either the S24 Ultra or Pixel 9 Pro is still your daily driver? 🐊
9 Proooo!!
@@valismind Yes!!!
Loved your work❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!!
Get a new phone there is something wrong with your phone. I have a iphone 16 pro max.
Non of this problem your mentioned is a problem for me
I also have the reply cut out's on CarPlay but with the regular EU Siri.

Got my 16 pro max today 😊 silver
Should I upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro Max from the S23 Ultra?
No upgrade to the 9 pro XL
What is the 9 Pro XL?
Why should I get the S24 Ultra instead of the iPhone 16 Pro Max?

Haha Valis I told you android was superior even than the 16 pro max haha some months ago
How3's that AI situation going on? There yet? Android had it for almost a year now.
Ditch that shit from apple and grab yourself something worth the money - Android from the same price shelf would do just perfect.
Watch the video. I cover this lol, and yeah the pixel 9 pro has been amazing haha.
@@valismind Exactly :) I just wanted to point out that to all the commentators who will arrive here sooner or later :D
Lmao its out and works amazing
@@Marz333 right, right, and apple is a good company caring for their customers and workers XD
Pixel has had it for 3+ years
What do you hire a neurologist for?
For epilepsy/ seizures or other brain issues

If you dont put a $1300 phone into a case, you failed your family and all of humanity as well
I agree. But it genuinely is just impractical for me, I take photos of the devices often as well for social media.
@@valismind fair point during those times
😂😂😅
😂😂 I very much, second that statement!
Well, I use my $1300 iPhone without a case, if something happens I just take it to Apple, would you put a Cartier watch in a case?
Shark🦈
Manicure.

Appreciate you!
Battery life is shit on this phone. Regret buying 16 pro max
I’ve had a very good experience but it has been dependant on iOS updates. It seems like it goes from being horrendous to amazing. Not sure why. IOS is NOT very stable this time around.
@ after updating to 18.1 battery life i am getting is extremely poor. But one thing i noticed when I turn off the apple intelligence its getting good.

Really hope Apple goes back to 6.7 inch this Max was to big
I DISAGREE! but also, the Pro is bigger too and a good middle ground!
@@valismind I agree...the 6.3" is the beez kneez. Especially on the P9Pro...even more gooder cause it's not as wide as the 16Pro
