Apple is using the Stacked Battery Technology this year which allows a 10% increase in battery capacity but it also increases the longevity of the battery and slows its degradation. It will produce less heat too compared to previous batteries.
The 16 Pro Max doesn’t have the metal encased battery oddly, fyi. Maybe Apple figures it’s less likely to overheat and already has crazy long life. Will be interesting to see how the battery health compares down the road between the models.
I found this to be so interesting myself. I ended up going with the regular pro model this year instead of the max & I am happy I did because I wanted to see how the stainless steel enclosure helps long term.
Aren’t you the same guy who just trashed iPhone 16 on your podcast and also trashed influencers for selling out and shilling for Apple? You for real with this?
I have iPhone 10- I live very rural, not good reception, I am trying to find out what kind of antenna or reception with this iPhone 16. I haven’t updated since 2019.
I heard and seen a video that the 5G speeds are much slower with the 16’s because the new camera button is where the 5G antenna used to be. Can you do a video on that? If that’s the case I’ll pass on the iPhone 16.
Am very curious about the iphone’s microphone’s features because i readed that you could also remove background noises from your voices or vice versa or you can even remain those voices from those people being show on video while removing voices from people who are not on video, it sounds too crazy to be true the last thing but who ever knows what kind of magic wand apple will grap out of it’s hood😁
disclaimer to everyone who probably doesn’t know and is thinking about getting the base model. well, now with marco and ultra wide, the 16 base model can shoot 24MP photo capture support for the first time for non-Pro iPhone. 😊
I will admit it. I paid off my iPhone 15 plus back on last Saturday. Then got the iPhone 16 pro max. It’s the best phone I ever had. The best part is it doesn’t heat up as quick as my iPhone 15 plus does.
How are these “hidden” features when they’re clearly explained in the event? Audio mixing, wifi charging, charging speeds, macro photography, 4k 120fps, all of these were in the event. They aren’t “hidden”
good summary! But I'm still hesitant and I'm probably gonna stay with my iPhone 15+ longer. I know it's always exciting to have a new phone every year, but I'm a little tired of and I feel not being able to afford upgrading every year!
I just upgraded from an iPhone 12 to the 16. and it’s exactly the same except for the useless camera button honestly thinking about downgrading to the 15 because it’s cheaper and it’s the exact same thing.
I love the capture button but really wish they’d let me disable it ONLY WHEN NOT IN THE CAMERA APP. So in the camera app (or others I specify such as Snapchat), it would still work as a capture button (and zoom and all that). But when on the Home Screen for example it would do nothing. WHY HAVEN’T THEY ADDED THIS??
I’d broken my 12 but the second 14 Pro had macro I was sold I love macro photos they’re one of my favourite to shoot with and the ultra wide camera was already good for taking stupid photos of your friends and wide angle landscape photos. That said I’ll be upgrading to the 16 Pro soon and I can’t wait tbh especially for the AI features and will hopefully use Siri more knowing that it’ll be much more useful for executing specific instructions
Honestly, the audio mix stuff doesn’t sound great. In a pinch, and for home video kinda stuff, sure. It can save you from some audio stuff. But in a “pro” situation, it’s not good enough. Especially the high frequencies. They just sound cronchy
Correction: Only iPhone 16 Pro's battery has metal enclosure but not of 16 Pro Max's , next people are already complaining 16 Pro ( with metal enclosure) is heating up substantially 😢
I wonder if Apple will ever release a MagSafe battery pack update with USB C, more capacity, stronger magnets, faster charging, Find My capability, and whatever else they could easily do.
Omg a 6??? Must be the best upgrade ever lol full screen no bezels Dynamic Island way batter cameras way better iOS and way more lol upgraded from a 12 mini to the 16 pro last week and I feel like it was a huge upgrade imagine a 6 lol
All I know is that I'll still be getting Apple's A.I. in my MBP M3 Max, and iPad Pro with the M2 chip. Therefore, I'm not really missing out on this year's iPhone. My iPhone 14 Pro Max is still more than capable. The iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max is where it's going to be! I'm hoping for Thunderbolt 4, the best battery, more GPU/CPU, and even better zoom! 🤞🏽
Yeah that’s all good but what about people with iPhone 13 Pro Max like me I can’t get Siri to work properly when I updated iOS 18 it seems like they want you to buy. I’ll they want you to buy iPhone 15 and higher so the new intelligence 18.1 will work.
4:25 every button on iPhone should have this type of full control, different feature settings allowed for: light touch, half press, full press, hold press, double press, triple press, double button press, or button press off
Max wattage is still 27W. I don’t understand what you get out of lying? Don’t you have the 16PM? Have you not tried charging it??? Mine peaks to 30W for one second; then stays between 27-28W…
I feel you man. When he said full charge in barely two hours I was like well that thing better be selling for Free99 because that is crap charging time
Just heard Snoop on a Tmo ad say “come get an iPhone 16 BUILT for Apple Intelligence.” Imagine a car commercial saying buy a Ford F150 built for an engine (that will be available later) 😂.
Im switching from a galaxy s22 ultra that im board with been using android for years and its the same old shit im over it so ill be buying the iphone 16 pro max . Ive seen youtube reviews on it and that ph is wicked sick very nice and clean.

exactly, it is really a substantial improvement on many levels. I upgraded from an 11 to the 16pro and I'm blown away by the improvments!

Same here!!
@@lostam9924.??????? Are you for real???? 😂😂😂😂… please don’t comment when you don’t have any knowledge on the topic.
perhaps the apple adapters don't support 45 watts, you will have to get a usb-c adapter that isn't from apple and mentions charging up to 45W
im quite certain the basic apple adapter that costs £50 said it charges around 20-30 watts

How do you access the studio audio feature? You video is good but you are moving very fast
I’d like to know
The link for the car phone charger says it’s not suitable for iPhone 16.
Hi Sam , the manual stats 4.5 to 30 watts charging capability.
People in the comsec are saying that it only charges at 25W. We need to see an actual charging capabilities, wired & wireless☝🏼
Does the Apple MagSafe duo device charge the Pro Max at 25W?
What is the best way to optimize the battery on the 16 pro?
make an automation "when disconnected from power" -> "set lower power mode"
@@CompanionCubeno.. don’t use this. Only use low power mode when below 20.
I heard and seen a video that the 5G speeds are much slower with the 16’s because the new camera button is where the 5G antenna used to be. Can you do a video on that? If that’s the case I’ll pass on the iPhone 16.

Should I trade in from regular 14 Pro with 87% bh from February 2023 to 16 Pro Max or wait for the 17 Pro Max?
same as you im thinking a bout getting the normal 16 doesnt really change a lot like the previes models

I’ve noticed with my 16 Pro that it can fast charge without getting hot, and my battery life has been AWESOME.
Do you have the pro or pro max and which phone did you have before this one?
@@tjadejoh I have a 16 Pro and had a 14 Pro before.
The camera button can you set it to scan code with it.
I am use it my self.
I have an old MagSafe charger, will it work at 25 watts with the iPhone 16 or did they make a completely new charger for 25 watts?
Charging speed is based on the power brick not the cable.
1:09 Yes! I did notice it only takes an hour to get a full charge!
How long to get to 50% charge now?
what is the best way to charge the battery? does it have to be filled to 100% or to 80%?
80%. It will prolong your battery life.

Yo Sam. I get you need to clickbait for the algorithm but what the fuck was hidden here??
Right? I thought maybe it was something about the camera button being a Touch ID sensor from his previous video
The fact that it can open other camera apps like IG etc.
i thought it was confirmed by verge or something that 45w doesn't charge at that
There was a rumour that the capture button would be able used other aps not camera apps.
Dear Pleasant guy, have you ever heard of a phrase “much ado about nothing” - well …. Here it is.
I did not think the standard 16 had the same mics as the pros. I don’t think the audio works the same.
The Camera Control!

Not having Wi-if 7 on the iPad PRO was one of the many reasons I did not buy one. Update needed.
