Long story short: Upgrade after at least 3 years and not earlier to see an improvement. I was going to keep my 14Pro another year before seeing this video and now I am 100% sure this is the right call.
Indeed , 14 series is still quite good , even my old 12 pro max while a step down in some areas like screen brightness and camera , for daily duties , it can still get the job done just fine .
I have 13 pro Max keeping it I like the shine of stainless steel better than titanium, I will only upgrade when the punchole is introduced into the iPhone I can no longer do too much screen intrusions.
@@finforcerI find the stainless steel looks good for some, but to me the titanium is better in the hands and makes it feel more like a phone and not like a box.
Yep, not much improvements in phones these days. If you have a top end phone wait at least three years and if your battery has degraded just get it replaced. I replaced my iPhone 13 pro battery a year ago and now am going to upgrade to 16 pro. Max is too big for me
People should stop upgrading just because new phone is better cuz all those upgrades are minor irl. They should upgrade when old phone is bad/outdated/worn off ig...
Written September 19, 2024 Funny enough as I ordered an iPhone 15 512GB from AT&T in Jan 2024 but they only had the 15 256Gb and 14 TB in stock. I ended up getting the 14 1TB under the advice of the AT&T employee and it’s the best decision I could’ve made as that’s plenty storage to fill it with any game ect in my collection. I’m not planning to upgrade until 2030 at the latest… or at least until I lose or break this phone somehow
I upgrade if I wanna upgrade, coming from a 14 Pro Max which had some of the worst battery life of any iPhone, I’m upgrading and nobody is stopping me 😂😂
@1trompet146the 16 and 16 Pro is a massive upgrade from the 11, 11 Pro and 12? 12 Pro, there’s no comparison, you will notice the improvements and differences.
Or… people *should* do what they want with their money. And anyone who doesn’t spend their money on other people’s phones *should* mind their own business.
@@steffan1804no it’s not look at the cameras barely any noticable differences from a 12 pro max like I have. Especially in background detail it’s like comparing a 4 year old ps5 to a new ps5 pro the difference is almost none existing 😂
Actually upgrading from the se 2020 to the 16 pm. Was pretty good for the first year and then the battery life fell off hard and my display is wrecked as well.
So basically if you don’t really play any graphic-intensive games on your phone and don’t care about Apple’s AI, then there’s no need to upgrade. Got it

Unpopular opinion - iPhone 13 Pro still feels more premium than 16 Pro in reality (when you hold it and not just comparing new features). Just checked one and now I love my 13 Pro even more 😁
The 13 pro max in daily / real life usage won't give you true downsides over the latest 15/16 pro (max), in my family they own 14 and 15PM and this weekend I got to test the 16PM so I know whar I'm talking about. The camera quality jump from the 12 pro to 13 pro was big (wide angle much improved as was nightmode) whereas 14-15-16 pro/max seem small incremental updates. Literally nobody cares about 48MP, just looks good on the specsheet. Most people post their pictures on social media which compresses it anyways lol. and even today some people still ask what camera I make my pictures with because they look so frickin good. Dynamic island isn't really shocking either.. who actually cares? (except it visually shows you got a more recent iphone lol) Brightness is more than good enough on 13 pro max. I cant possibly imagine you'd need more, even now I barely ever put it to the max brightness. And 3 years later with 85% battery health my 13PM still easily gets through the day. Depending on wifi/lte between 6-8 hours screen on time which is unbelievable . This is probably my favorite thing since I own the phone. Only thing I really prefer on the 15/16PM (I've held both) is the noticeable difference in lower weight. I could easily afford a 16PM (not trying to sound like a dick) and I do love my tech but it would just be a waste of money. My 13PM has been an excellent workhorse the last few years and until the camera's really show a drastic improvement again I'm holding on to this little beast for a bit longer (as long as the battery continues keeping up with my heavy usage).
If you have an iPhone 14 Pro and are considering upgrading to 16 Pro, here is more detail on what extra goodies you’ll have: - USB-C - Option to change charge level and view cycle count - Apple intelligence - Action button - Camera button - Bigger battery - Titanium finish - Bigger screen - Faster chip - Slightly upgraded camera - Tougher glass - Faster charging speeds - Support for WiFi 7 - Better microphones - Ability to charge devices from USB-C port - Anti reflective camera lens coating - Lighter - 1 nit brightness - better heat management - Extra RAM - Improved Bluetooth - precision finding for Find My Friends
14pro Max vs 16pro Max I checked out the iPhone 16 Pro Max today, and I ran into some issues. I’d appreciate it if you all could give it a try too 🙏🏻. So, when I was testing it, I noticed that the photo quality at long distances for the iPhone 16 Pro and above seems worse than the iPhone 14 Pro when zoomed in at 15x. Distant text, in particular, looks really blurry on the iPhone 16, while the iPhone 14 Pro captures it much clearer. I asked one of the staff about it, and they said it might be a glass issue. Then I spoke to another staff member, and they suggested trying the ultra-wide angle... but that didn’t really help with my question. Honestly, I couldn’t get a clear answer, and I tried four different devices! Maybe there’s a setting that got messed up or something. If you could all test it out, that would be great! I’ve already placed my order, and if this is a real issue, it could affect sales and even the stock price-no one wants blurry distant shots!
Yup, all that is true. But is any of that a reason to upgrade? Just because it's an upgrade doesn't mean YOU need to upgrade. As soon as you leave the store, your phone is obsolete. That's the trap, that's how they get you to keep coming back year after year.
If you have any 13 iphone series DO NOT upgrade, if you have XR or XS yes, if you have the 11/11 pro maybe yes if you have issues, the 12 maybe but i would change battery and wait for the 17. Do not waste money on new iPhones if not needed
@@Kseo93 fr like shut yo broke ahh up, i’ll upgrade my phone when I feel like upgrading my phone. Brokie can’t afford to upgrade so he doesn’t want other people to
Why you need to change your phone if not broken or does have the latest iOS? I mean people shouldn’t be materialistic and should spend their money in better ways. If you are rich, things are different
I'm glad you spent a fair amount of time on features besides just the camera vs reviewers just spouting specs without really understanding what they mean. So, thanks for that. Honestly, I wish they would focus more on basic functionality like battery life, more durable case, and stronger cell signal radios for better connectivity. As soon as the tactical/marketing emphasis switched from a phone with a camera to a camera that's sort of a phone, all manufacturers (not just Apple) stopped caring about ANY of that. So for now, I'm sticking with my 14 Pro.
Upgrading from my 13 pro to 16 pro. Was a great phone and still is. Battery at 77 and the phone gets really hot now a days. Trading to Apple for $340 off the 16 pro. Thinks it’s worth it. 13 pro is a heavy phone tbh getting tired of the weight lol.
I’m upgrading to a 16 pro from a 14 pro. The reasons being are mostly: - battery life - cameras (especially the new video features) - Apple Intelligence Whilst I know that AI isn’t coming until later this year, I feel like this could be a game changer for those working in content creation or power users
@@jonathangenthner3964 100% agreed! I have the 16 pro now and I can honestly say that even making the display slightly bigger is a great change, it looks amazing
only reason I'm upgrading from 13 pro is because I can literally see the technology on the back of my phone and my camera/charging port are busted. music festivals suck :(
Got so many people saying "don't upgrade, wait for the 17" while I'm using a 13 pro and I got to say, you really helped me a lot. Tech will always get better so we can't always just wait for something better, if you got the cash to splash and have a relatively old phone such as a 13 or 12 then upgrade
Upgrading (barring any discoveries of overheating and the like...) form the 12PM. A great phone, but the 'C' port is a huge factor, better camera, Pro chip, etc.. The iPhones 16 will be in stores tomorrow, and I'll be going to take a look. If all is well, maybe 01 NOV-ish.
Im upgrading from a 12 mini to a 16 pro. Mainly because my minis battery is on low health and i got a really good deal. To bad the mini is discontinued, because it was by far the best format for daily useage of them
Sorry to maybe disappoint you, but the upgrades are so minor that you’ll get exited for a day and then you’ll forget about it. I had that experience last year when I upgraded from the 12 Pro Max to the 15 equivalent.
@@gabevdm Sorry but I completely disagree maybe for your use case but I will enjoy the faster refresh rate, way better battery life, leap in graphics performance for games that I play, and the new camera improvements. Plus with the new Dynamic Island with smaller bezels with a large phone is going be better when I watch movies or podcasts and can’t forget usb c so I can get rid of lightning finally.
Switching from 13 pro to 16 pro I am pretty excited. Seems like I’m just going to have a much better version of the phone I have, with fun little new features and potentially something great with Apple intelligence (not counting on it)
Doesn’t make since to upgrade. I have 12 pro and All these feature can have bast than in others phones, also IA not think important to have integrated, because I already have chatGPT app. I’m starting to thinking go to Samsung in my next phone.
These types of videos are DEFINITELY a smart move due to a lot of people having contracts they are stuck in. Forcing people with older phones to wait. Good call 👍🏻
Have 13 Mini and love the size. But about to go on a long trip and realize the battery life would be a real issue. Likely upgrading to 16 Pro for battery, camera, USB C, and the 120hz is a nice bonus.
I have a 13 mini and just did a long trip. I just had a powerbank charger in my pocket always so I never had any range anxiety which I would probably still have if I had a 16 pro with the amount of google maps I was using. I don't want to go to a larger phone for as long as I can so should be able to hold out for the 18 or 19.
I have a 13 pro and was planning on waiting to get a 17 pro. I am thinking I’ll just replace the battery and maybe wait until the 18 pro. Maybe I’ll even just get the 18 too. All of those updates don’t actually have any impact on my life anymore
The way most people use their phones, I’d argue even a 12 is more than good enough, especially given the bargain prices they’re selling for. They also still feel very premium and still get software support. iPhone 15 gives you usb-c which helps a lot with decluttering as most things use usb-c right now. 16 is a very incremental improvement imo.
UK iPhone 12 user here- I won’t be upgrading. Cost - reward just ain’t worth it yet for me. Given I don’t use my camera for much other than pictures of items at the shop to check with my wife it’s the right one, the 12 does just fine. TH-cam and Netflix work fine, as do banking Apps.
@@horrypottur5854 I was going to make a pre-purchase of 16 Pro Max but it is out of stock with my operator Telia. so I will wait until they get more in.
@@horrypottur5854 I haven’t yet lol, I’m waiting to go and see them in store because I literally can’t pick between Natural/Black. What color are you going for? I think I’ll keep it until Apple does a big redesign so I’m kind of taking this release serious
I’m going for iphone 16 pro max from iphone 13. I watch alot of videos and game on my phone alot. The big screen and 120 hz will be perfect for me. Usb c is also a plus
Back then, an upgrade meant having an extra camera, having a foldable version, becoming wireless charging, etc. These improvements are so minor it's almost like a Kaizen but at inflated prices.
13 pro. Just changed the battery which increased the performance. Probably a lot of the perceived performance is just a fresh battery. I’ll probably change at 17 but not before. I know someone who is running the XS and is perfectly happy.
Thanks for doing this. This is great. While I love the 13PM 1TB I had decided to upgrade to the 16PM 1TB Black Titanium and will be picking it up locally tomorrow and am excited.

Doesn’t make since to upgrade. I have 12 pro and All these feature can have bast than in others phones, also IA not think important to have integrated, because I already have chatGPT app. I’m starting to thinking go to Samsung in my next phone.
the 12 pro max is still good but I’m still upgrading from it because I want some of the new features from the 16 pro
If I’m upgrading because of a vertical camera then I’m better off with iPhone X series
I’m still unwilling to move from my beloved 11 pro
Nice I’m upgrading from the 12 lots of improvements 🎉
I'm quite interested with features 16s have to offer from my 13 Pro, but I think having 120Hz helps me a lot to stave off my lust to upgrade😂
Great video, subscribed because Salford in the photo test 😉
I’m upgrading from 13 pro max 😊
Whyyyy no neeeddd
These types of videos are DEFINITELY a smart move due to a lot of people having contracts they are stuck in. Forcing people with older phones to wait. Good call 👍🏻
My advice is get Pixel.
from iphone 10 to 16.... they all look too similar
Have 13 Mini and love the size. But about to go on a long trip and realize the battery life would be a real issue. Likely upgrading to 16 Pro for battery, camera, USB C, and the 120hz is a nice bonus.
The pro max has better battery btw
@@aucontraire1986- Yep, and it amazes me how many people are okay carrying a 7” tablet in their pocket.
I have a 13 mini and just did a long trip. I just had a powerbank charger in my pocket always so I never had any range anxiety which I would probably still have if I had a 16 pro with the amount of google maps I was using. I don't want to go to a larger phone for as long as I can so should be able to hold out for the 18 or 19.
I’m thinking to Upgrage from iPhone 13 to iPhone 16 Pro!! Imo it’s a Massive Upgrade 😊
I just bought a 13 and I love it!
Thanks. I’m currently using 12 mini and I’m in real mood to upgrade. This video is just exactly what I was looking for
If you have an older phone, you should upgrade. Apple intelligence is the standard moving forward, don’t be left behind
Apparently my iPhone 11 is out of the equation 😂
What then can be said of my Xs MaxiPhone? Rocking it here today and it still doing fine for what I need!
@@jonathanratliff4780damn. Respect. 🫡
I'm using 8
7 plus here 😅
still more than perfectly fine
Thinking of buying 13. This is nonsense. People who have no goals in life throw money away on nothing.
I love how you didn’t include the 15 pro max because you know its not an upgrade 😂
I have a 13 pro and was planning on waiting to get a 17 pro. I am thinking I’ll just replace the battery and maybe wait until the 18 pro. Maybe I’ll even just get the 18 too. All of those updates don’t actually have any impact on my life anymore
The way most people use their phones, I’d argue even a 12 is more than good enough, especially given the bargain prices they’re selling for. They also still feel very premium and still get software support. iPhone 15 gives you usb-c which helps a lot with decluttering as most things use usb-c right now. 16 is a very incremental improvement imo.
13 mini gang. Holding (and praying) until the mini line comes back.
$45 bucks to get a battery replacement through my carrier on my 13 PM. Gonna. E keeping this guy for as long as possible!
Good idea, good luck. 👍
Not upgrading from my 13 Pro Max this year
I have the 12 and upgrading to the 16pro was definitely a bigger upgrade for me! Love my 16pro!
UK iPhone 12 user here- I won’t be upgrading. Cost - reward just ain’t worth it yet for me. Given I don’t use my camera for much other than pictures of items at the shop to check with my wife it’s the right one, the 12 does just fine. TH-cam and Netflix work fine, as do banking Apps.
I have 12 Pro Max. Will Go for 16 Pro Max.
Me too bro
Did you buy it? Worth it? I'm also on 12 PM, but can't decide haha.
@@horrypottur5854 I was going to make a pre-purchase of 16 Pro Max but it is out of stock with my operator Telia. so I will wait until they get more in.
@@horrypottur5854 I haven’t yet lol, I’m waiting to go and see them in store because I literally can’t pick between Natural/Black. What color are you going for? I think I’ll keep it until Apple does a big redesign so I’m kind of taking this release serious
I currently still use iPhone 12 Pro Max but I might wait until 17 or 18
This is a great video! We always get reviews of the latest tech- but we never get comparisons in context. Kudos!
I feel it's a paid video
I'm upgrading from 12 pro max to 16 pro max. My battery status is less than 80%.
I’m upgrading from 12 pro max, 16 pro max 1 TB black arriving tomorrow , based on your video I’m very happy with the new specs 😁👌👍
We got andrew gargield reviewing tech before gta 6
I’m still using iPhone 12 Pro Max in 2024, but I might wait until iPhone 17 or 18 release. 💯💯🙏🏼🔥
Conclusion is nothing is new for the reason to upgrade from 15 Pro 15 Pro Max series, if you have older iPhones, you are good to go for 16 series.
I don't like titanium, steel looks way better than titanium. Love the heavy iphone 📱 sticking to 14pm.
Hi. This is one of best recommendations videos I’ve seen in a long time. Keep up this format. Very useful.
Feel absolutely no pressure and reason to upgrade from iPhone 12.
I have iPhone 12. Will go for iPhone 16pro
Shout out to fellow iPhone 12 users!!! Mines a work horse with no case. Live dangerously 😂
I’m going for iphone 16 pro max from iphone 13. I watch alot of videos and game on my phone alot. The big screen and 120 hz will be perfect for me. Usb c is also a plus
Thanks for doing this Daniel. I’m planning to upgrade from the 12pro.
My IPhone 14: you may have better toys than us but do you have experience?
iPhone 16: 😟
Back then, an upgrade meant having an extra camera, having a foldable version, becoming wireless charging, etc.
These improvements are so minor it's almost like a Kaizen but at inflated prices.
0:09 I've got a 7 :(
iPhone 13 Pro Max 512 g & 1 TB. The BEST iPhone ever. Never upgrading it. Thank you apple
13 pro. Just changed the battery which increased the performance. Probably a lot of the perceived performance is just a fresh battery. I’ll probably change at 17 but not before. I know someone who is running the XS and is perfectly happy.
I would say from the 14 no. it depends on what your battery health is at and the 12 i would say yeah.
Best review yet. Straight forward comparison. Thank you!
Thanks for doing this. This is great. While I love the 13PM 1TB I had decided to upgrade to the 16PM 1TB Black Titanium and will be picking it up locally tomorrow and am excited.
Hi! So, how is it? I’m upgrading from 13 pro to 16 pro but I feel a little guilty cause it’s not thaaat new
I have a 13pro, and it’s gonna wait for the 17 air.
