    Interesting perspective, mate! My last iPhone was the 7 Plus. I've been using Pixels (2XL, 3XL, 6 Pro, 7 Pro, 8 Pro) since 2017. I'm just tired of hoping the next iteration will fix all my problems with the Pixel -- battery life, buggy software, lousy FPS, build quality, to name a few. I'm ready for a change and will order a 16 Pro Max on Friday.

      I feel the same. I switched to the Pixel after using an iPhone 12, but I regret not choosing a Samsung instead. The overheating issues and bugs I’ve encountered have made me hesitant to try the new Pixel 9. I think I’m done with Android for a while my experience with the Pixel has really soured me on it.

    Starting my channel last year on an iPhone X, then getting a 15 Pro Max when the X couldn’t get the iOS 17 update, meaning I couldn’t get the Blackmagic Camera App (since Filmic was a sh*tshow of subscription fees) it really enabled me to step up my game a bit. But I don’t need the 16 pro or pro max simply because the 15 pro max does everything I need it to do, and I’ve grown to almost 500 subs and almost 1500 watch time hours, just using my phone and a video mic 2 and a dji mic 2. Not editing on my phone more than I have to (shorts and reels mostly in capcut, bigger things on a legion pc in davinci resolve studio) and that workflow is great, and offers enough quality to start a channel :)
    And the answer to «should I upgrade» is *really* simple:
    If you have to ask if you should upgrade, then you don’t need to upgrade - simple as that :)
    If you *need* to upgrade you *know* you need to upgrade ;)

      @@Sids_life_advice Hi there :) I use a couple of different methods depending on what I filmed with. If I’m using Blackmagic Camera App I used to plug a USB C cable between phone and laptop and transfer via classic itunes software, but because of the bug/something with iphone 15 and 16 the speed is so slow I’ve started using an external SSD to get maximum transfer speed.
      Using Samsung T7 SSD I connect the phone to the SSD and transfer files from both blackmagic camera app and native ios photo/video library to the SSD, then I get the closest to 10gigabit transfer speed it’s possible to get. Then I just connect the SSD to the laptop and transfer them to the machine.
      You can also record directly to the SSD from the phone, but that isn’t always an option for me when I shoot all over the place handheld :)

I am upgrading from the 14 pro max for the upgraded “ four studio quality microphones”, the upgraded wide angle camera lens, the change to usb-c since I skipped the 15, upgraded my storage to 1tb since I am taking up so much space with video (and I don’t want to pay for iCloud storage).

    The iPhone 16 Pro feels made exactly for me, and I’m a 14 Pro user. The reason being is multifaceted, but the number one reason is the audio mixing feature. I don’t have all the equipment to record audio with, and the audio tricks I’ve used to remove background noise on my videos sound like I’m underwater. I’m also a big photography nerd too, and there are a number of features my 14 Pro don’t have compared to the 15 and 16. My position is a very distinct one.

    I always upgrade yearly and sell my old phone on ebay. I can totally understand the perspective of not wanting to spend money every year but from my perspective if I'm selling my phone from last year.. I'm only spending a few hundred on the new one, so it's not even like I'm paying full price and also as more time goes by the current phone you have will lose value, so for me I might as well just sell it now while i can get the most I can for it and then get the new device. It's not for everyone but that's just my perspective. Also there was a time where I couldn't afford the latest iphone so now that I can I just like to do so lol.

You talk about using only iphone and only cameras, but what about a camera as a main source/primary shot and iphone as a secondary shot? As an example in this video: camera for your shot directly in front of you, iphone for the shot off to the side?

      You missed the point. The features are ADVERTISED to professionals. On average, creatives who know how to work with log, need monitoring for final grading, do audio engineering and so on know these things because they already have the tools needed to work with. I know how to work with Slog3 because I have been using a Sony camera for years.
      Someone wanting to get creative and LEARN how to express themselves doesn't need half these things. They can use an iPhone 13 Pro Max and express themselves just fine. So while you say "professionalism is not about the gear", you are so right, and thats my point, you don't need to upgrade to the iPhone 16 to still accomplish being creative.

    You keep touching on it, but not quite getting there. The purpose of iPhones to improve features on the pro line-up is to make it easier and easier to do things that the professionals do. Go back to the original iPhone launch keynote -- as it was simplified, "iPod, phone, internet communicator" and simple apps like calculator, timer, etc. all consolidated multiple devices into one for the regular consumer. It also makes the everyday consumer get features for far less than needing professional gear. So 120fps at 4k is a feature that was amazing on dedicated cameras, and is now commonplace, and now available on iPhone. Is the overall camera experience on iPhone going to replace dedicated cameras? No. Lenses and computational photography is not the same as changeable lenses, and low light is still an issue (not to mention that video flare that just can't be extinguished). AND, despite the impressiveness of Apple events being "shot on iPhone" we've seen the setups required -- lots of lighting, stabilizing rigs, etc. And, because content creation is viewed most on phones, it may be "good enough"? Nobody needs to upgrade iPhone/Mac/iPad/AirPods every year. The current stat is what, 3-4 years for a phone? Longer for a Mac and iPad? For those that do upgrade on the average consumer cycle, they'll see a huge change from their current phones to the latest. "Wait until next year" will lead to another video next year to again "wait until next year" which makes me think all these videos sh*tting on the latest are just about that -- create content just to create content. Stop waiting. If you want a new phone because the old one is not holding up, or these particular features speak to you, then get the latest. It's like a car - it won't last forever, so you decide when it's time to upgrade to a newer or different model.
