Just updgraded from iphone 12 to the 16 plus and what treat!! Bigger screen, action button, new camera button,new apple intelligence, and first time experiencing dynamic island! Such a great phone ❤️
@ i had a hard time managing battery with my 12 as well :( its 83% right now which was bad, constantly heating up and draining fast, i can’t imagine having 75% below, i’d suggest you get the battery replaced too ☺️
Upgraded to a Teal 16 Plus from a Black 11 and I am so happy with my new phone. The teal has not disappointed. The battery difference is mind blowing to me also.
I had the 16 Pro and Pro Max for about a month. Returned them both and opted for the 16 Plus as well due to the lighter weight, slimmer, and more balanced feel in my hand. It didn't seem like much on paper, but in daily practice it is a significant difference! I am bummed about the battery hit, 60hz, and downgrade on the cameras (12MP wide-angle, and no 5x telephoto), but I am ok with the compromise considering the Pro max was just too heavy and the Pro display was a tad too small. I am hoping for the rumored iPhone Air 17 next year... time will tell.
The base model iPhones this year are far more feature rich and capable than previous years devices and even spec levels are closer to the pros than ever for the majority of people this is the one to get, especially in teal.
I got a 16 Pro three weeks ago, and the Pro Motion High Refresh rate blew me away… for about two and a half weeks, until I turned it off, just to see if it improved battery life (which isn’t bad, I just want more)
*Apple came close to make the perfect phone with the iPhone 16 and 16 plus* but then missed it by not giving a edge to edge display like the Pro version. It’s light weight | slimmer | aluminum feels great | cool colors. But then No edge to edge display with pro motion (at least 90hz) would’ve been the perfect iPhone Really Missed the sweet spot to attract a lot of new customers
Idk I like my iPhone 16 plus. I came from an iPhone 11 so I am very happy with my buy. Also, I spent $928 on this phone which almost broke my bank. I can’t afford the pro or pro max. So stop talking down to people who decided to buy this model.
I downgraded from 120hz this year when I got my 15 plus and I DID get used to 60hz and it looks great now but idk. For the money theres no real reason you're getting less.
Great video, I totally agree how underrated the Plus lineup is. I'd definitely get the plus I'm just not buying in iPhone. We (not you, we generally) should also stop comparing new iPhones to old models and how much they've improved. 2 new buttons? Yeah, the previous model should have gotten the action button AND 120Hz display then we'd have nothing to wow about.
@@kaiserahmed8311 Sorry, I mistakenly said ProRaw since I'm so accustomed to it on my Pro iPhones. It's "HEIF Max" on the 16, it's a different format. That's an error on my end!
Most have to take a downgrade from the screen side to get something new in the design 😅 that's hard to comprimise the when its the part you always see 😅 smooth buttery is norm for cheapy phones
I have 12pro at the moment. Planning to get new iphone. But i dont know what to choose between pro and plus. I only use iphone for socmeds and some basic photos. What can you recommend?
I went from a 13 pro to a 15 plus. For me it took a month to get used to 60hz but you dont even have to worry about that. Either pro or plus will be great but obviously the plus has the best battery life of them all. Me personally though, even though I love my 15 plus I miss the smaller phone tbh. Youre getting better battery and louder speakers in the bigger phones but if those things aren't gonna make or break it for you then I'd go pro.
I can't justify buying a base model until they integrate the 120Hz displays. Using a 144Hz monitor and a Google Pixel with a high refresh rate until the 13 Pro came out (last iPhone before that being the iPhone 4 for me) I can't go back to 60Hz!
IPhone 60hz is different. The animations are crafted in a way where it's barely noticeable. But I here you. I use a 16 pro but my wife loves her 16 plus and didn't notice anything coming from a 14 pro max
I was going to swap from 13 pro to 16 Plus until I noticed the lack of pro motion. Mainly wanted to upgrade for intelligence and more ram but I’ll be sticking it out with my flawless 13 pro for another year or two.
If you can backup your stored files, and or opt for icloud storage. The icloud storage will offload your photos into the cloud and save smaller images on the phone unless you need the larger file size... works great. I was never one to support a monthly subscription for storage, but the icloud makes storage less of a concern on the iPhone.
256gb is better but 128gb works if you are not someone who keeps a lot of apps and games. Images and videos aren't going to be an issue since icloud and Google cloud exist.
I always get 128gb storage on my iPhones, I watch TH-cam, listen to music take photos etc (I don’t play many games on them though)I and I have never run out of space or experienced any lag.
why don’t any of you tech reviewers talk about OVERHEATING while playing graphic intensive apps if more tech youtubers spoke about OVERHEATING then maybe apple would add a good cooling technology . they gave us ceramic shield, my biggest grief with apple is insane OVERHEATING specially after 5-6 months of usage.
It’s not hz that makes it feel like it’s lagging. It’s the animations, which is totally up to Apple developers. Android users have it in Developers options. My 60hz Android display is both, brighter and faster. But with Apple you get what you’re fed. Great camera, though!
@@onlinecomment Its 100% the 60hz. I went from a 13 pro to a 15 plus and after a month, maybe month and a half the display appears perfectly fluid not having seen 120hz in awhile. However for the money most people probably aren't gonna wanna wait that long to enjoy their viewing experience. I just prioritized battery though.
@@NehemYah810number 1 is more people into having better battery life next is more people into having more storage and most people into having better camera most people not into AI and Hz on their iPhone

Yes I got my 16 plus ❤
Next time I upgrade, I’m pretty certain I’ll get the plus. I have a 15 pro max and my only gripe is how heavy it is.
I have the iPhone 16 plus in black with 256gb, I’m loving it it’s pro enough for me I don’t care about the 60hrz refresh rate I’m fine with it.

Good review Terren.
Complaining about 60Hz is not bias. It's technology. There's hardly anyone who "came from a 60Hz display" in 2024 unless they've had base iPhones.
I downgraded from 120hz this year when I got my 15 plus and I DID get used to 60hz and it looks great now but idk. For the money theres no real reason you're getting less.
I traded my iPhone 14 Pro for a iPhone 16 plus. I don’t have any complaints. Battery is great. I’m enjoying it.
Heck, the last Android I had before switching to iPhone ran a 90Hz and was mid range.
I’m not a fan of the AOD display I’ve kept it off
I love the AOD, I leave it on with the background showing even.
Well, you don't have to worry about it on a Plus iPhone 😂
The iphone 16 can take raw photos now?
Great video, I totally agree how underrated the Plus lineup is. I'd definitely get the plus I'm just not buying in iPhone.

Most people like to keep their older iPhone longer and most people still buying older iPhones
@saharajohnson6481 Because they hardly change.
this is the reason to buy a 1000 dollar gadget only while liking the color?
I’m happy with iPhone 16. 60hz display is not bothering me at all eve though I have an iPad Pro m2.
Should I get a iPhone 15 pro or normal 16
Is there any difference in the images taken from the main 48 MP camera between the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Pro?
60hz in 2024 is tragic
I couldn’t handle the plus. I have the iPhone 13 and it’s already big enough.
Seriously about the 60hz display with apple is not that drastically noticeable with android or Samsung ye u can feel it more
Sorry how could you shot pro raw photos on non pro iPhone models?🙄
@ yeah but that’s only available in pro models but it’s a 16 plus review🥲

yahhh the screen!!!! 60 hrz screen refresh rate :'(
I have the iPhone 15 now. Should I upgrade or is that a little crazy?

Let time I check IPhone X was $999 when it come out and most people sell IPhone X on EBay it will be more expensive today
Fr, but I'm probably still buying it and I wish they already had 120hz and faster charging on the base models.
