15 Pro Is The Best iPhone Till Date, Hands Down. Type C Compact As Compared To This 16 Pro. No Issues Like Camera Sensor Accidental Use & Screen Lagging / Freezing Issue.
Honestly I would like a comparison of 15 Pro vs 16 standard since they are close to price for someone who hasn’t bought a new phone in a couple of years
@@pritishkumarrathor8988in my experience it’s been good. I can go all day without charging. I can get abt 7-8h of screen time b4 needing a charge but I’m not on it that much
between the two, i choose 15 pro max to upgrade from the 12, cheaper more reliable and reviews are in already to make you confident that you can buy it
I've ordered the 16 Pro, using Iphone 12 currently (Not the pro model) so it will be a big upgrade. The price (atleast where I live) is pretty much the same if you pre-order the Iphone 16 pro vs the 15 pro so the decision was easy.
Call me nuts but I prefer the look of the slightly thicker bezels of the 15 Pro, they give more character to the phone and they pair better with the Dynamic Island cutout (more proportional).
That's why I am looking for good deals on the 15 pro. I think the bezel thickness was the best in proportion to dynamic island. 16 is too thick and 16 pro too thin. And I don't want the camera control.
I chose 15 pro to upgrade from the 13 pro. That camera button is the most useless thing ever for people like me who don't use the cameras plus the 15 pro get's ai and still has a good few upgrades from the 13 pro mainly usb-c and the brighter display i'm looking forward to! and FINALLY saying goodbye to the notch. The 13 pro is still an amazing phone anyone rocking it shouldn't feel the need to upgrade i don't i just felt like a change 😊 will keep my 15 pro until at least the 18 or 19 pro

Unless you got battery problems you don’t need to upgrade, but I would go for the 16 pro because it has smaller bezels, bigger phone, bettery battery, the rest is the same basically.

@@tharushifernando6026 I've have applied all battery saving techniques from very first day, but these doesn't make much difference. 92% with 295 cycles. nearly using from a year now.
I have an iphone XS MAX. I was thinking about upgrading to a 15 PM or 16PM but cant decide. this upgrade would ONLY be so i could have a better camera and battery for my travels....NO OTHER REASON!!!!! I think it would be nice to have 2 iphones (same apple ID) when i travel in case i lose on or one gets stolen. So if I buy a new iphone can i still travel with both and have both active without messing things up?
I am thinking to switch from android to iphone this year. 16 pro was my first choice. I am getting a 200$ disc on 15 pro. I am leaning towards the 15 tho Is the battery that bad on 15 pro? Should I buy it or just go with 16 pro?? for the first time a previous android user?
Can you please tell me whether it is feeling premium heft like older iPhone pros like 13 Pro and 14 pros ,15 pro for me did not feel premium at all in hand so is it changed with 16 Pro because I knew that 15 Pro was not feeling premium just because of its weight ,the heftbwhich the iPhone provide in the pro model really give me a sense of holding something very premium
I think the 16 is better. The camera is epic, the camera is epic. I need to use phones longer so the 16 would personally be recommended. Also the A18 chip is a great update to have. Next upgrade I think they should add the App Store, settings, photos and screenshot. My latest is a 5s and it broke last month. This helped me a lot thank you I’m with the 16.
I upgraded to the 16P from 13P. I was thinking about buying the 15P when it was still available before 16P was offiically launched, but after testing a few display models at the Apple browsing the web and watching youtube videos for several minutes (we're talking less than 3 minutes), the phones started to get really warm / hot. This was a deal breaker for me. 16P does get warm too, but not as warm/ hot as 15P. The biggest disappointment with the 16P has to be the audio quality when listening to music. I was surprised 13P sounds a lot cleaner with better bass. Maybe I have a defect. I still have 12 days to return it if I ultimately don't like 16P.
@@euphoricmonk I decided to keep the 16 pro. I've exchanged the phone 4 times before finally getting one that doesn't generate really warm / temperature fast and battery drain every other minute. The newest "defect free" phone has a great battery life that lasts me one day (YMMV).
I returned my 16 pro max, absolutely not worth the upgrade. Very disappointed brightness is dimmer compared to the 15 pro series when comparing side by side and in Apple Store, so actually putting the brightness up even more compared to last year models, probably for the 1 nit they have implemented, all over the internet, touch issues, the camera side button isn’t as “innovative” as it seems, fusion camera is actually the same as 15 pro camera.
Hey Mark, great review as always! The 13 Pro series is still going strong, and I don't think upgrading to the 15 or 16 is necessary. In my opinion, Apple's new 16 models are a bit underwhelming and don't offer enough of a reason to upgrade.
Thanks for the review. Are you able to compare the 3x optical zoom of the 15P with the "Zoom to Crop" equivalent of the 16P and give an indication of how they compare? I like the 5x optical zoom idea on the 16P but did quite like the 75-85mm focal length range (around 3x). I had a question how much quality degradation there is on the 3x photos without pixel peeping.
Don't forget that only the iPhone 16 Pros will have the double track option on Voice Memos. As a singer-songwriter, I think that's a significant factor. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong, though.
I'm also a singer-songwriter planning to upgrade from an iPhone XS (!). The only reason I would go for the iPhone 16 Pro instead of a 15 Pro are the audio features. Do you recommend?
@@harapalb3666 If this is the case. If the iPhone 16 Pro started with 256GB it would be a nice upgrade. Unfortunately it starts with 128 so it doesn't worth it.
