Honestly, I find it strange that so many reviewers talk about 60hz vs. 120hz. I’ll be frank: I cannot see the difference unless I’m really looking for it. For 95% of people, it’s a nonissue. However, I 100% agree that Apple should make all their iPhone screens 120hz minimum because you can buy a $200 Android phone with 120hz in 2024. Secondly, the iPhone 16 standard is just as “professional” as the Pro.
People are so funny. One day titanium being light is the best thing ever- and the next day, the plus being so light makes it feel “less solid” and whatnot. I use a 13P in a case and an X at home.. and frequently pickup the X cuz it’s so much lighter and more comfortable to hold if I’m going to be using it for more than a minute. Lighter IS better. Too much is being made of the ultra-wide. How often do you use it? And how often do you zoom on it? Kind of defeats the purpose. 48mpxl would’ve been infinitely more useful on the zoom lens. I never zoom in on an ultrawide shot. Promotion is also overblown imo. I always have my 13p in battery saver mode, and when it turns off after a charge and pro motion is turned on.. I really couldn’t care less. Not that important at all. And the island still protrudes further down into the screen than the notch did (check them side by side).. and is still a useless marketing ploy, just like the new camera button. Above all else- I’m eagerly awaiting nighttime photos with this new glare-reducing camera. Will green orbs and reflections continue to ruin half of my night shots? Find out, on the next exciting episode of Egregiously Disrespectful iPhones!
Yo please at 8:15 fact check that because most games on iphone are locked at 60fps to maintain performance and battery life and heat. So the pro max at with a 120htz screen won't make you play call of duty at 120fps.
i just grabbed a 2 month old used iPhone 15 Pro from Marketplace for 700 dollars with under 35 batter cycles. Much better than the iPhone 16 for the same price.
@@TejaPeela yeah no. I got a 256 GB iPhone 15 pro for 700 dollars. At least 5 years of upgrades more than justifies the 700 dollar price tag for a phone that right now costs 1099 plus tax to buy new with little to not difference than the 15 Pro.
If you drink alcohol on a daily basic you wont need 60 fps because you start to see life at 30 fps. This is cheaper than getting always the best phone.
The AOD and refresh rate is something you have to experience. I didn’t think it mattered if I had a pro after having the 15 pro. I used the 16+ and was disappointed. Great colors. Got a 16 pro max
It’s honestly not that big of a deal. I have a 13 pro max with pro motion and didn’t even realize until a few weeks ago that I had it set tom60hz…been using this phone formal,ost 3 years.

9:13 this doesn't even make sense, titanium is lighter than aluminum, but stronger at the same time. This has been a very famous headline of the 15 Pro series.

I agree, the upgrades this year belongs to 16 plus, I got both 16 pro max vs 16 plus, I feel got ripoff on 16 pro upgrade was was terrible and pay +300 for 16 pro max.
The slowed down refresh rate you showed is NOT representative of the true experience at all, c’mon man… 🤓 The 16 plus is all about that color and the fresh camera bump position. Much cleaner, but we’re all so used to the Pro features though… I’m so tempted though.. 😅
Waiting for Dynamic Island to go away and 120 hz refresh rate on base models before buying any more iPhones. I’m disenchanted with Apple and their hyped up minimal changes. Wish cases weren’t necessary…
You’re not wrong. I have stuck with Apple products since the iPhone 4 and year after year i get less impressed with the “upgrades.” Only reason i got the 16 Pro is because they gave me $1,000 for my 14 Pro and the battery was awful on it and would have cost me $100 to replace it anyway. I would love to see 120hz come to all models of iPhone (long overdo, 60hz in an $800 phone in 2024 is crazy) and would like just a full display with no dynamic island or notch. I think we will have the dynamic island for a couple more years, at least. I would also absolutely love Touch ID to come back.
Dynamic Island is such an atrocity honestly. Takes up more space than the notch. And you keep smudging the selfie camera with your fingers. What a bad idea.
@@ProjectSerpo90 You guys need to change to android now and again. I did multiple times and every time I come back to apple. After a while of using the devices, you realize, that the flashy upgrades wont go far in your life, but I will take the apple ecosystem anyday over Windows+Android. Something about peace of mind and things working seamlessly appeals to me. (Although I do admire the tech behind some android flagships, like the folding phones or even the now new tri-fold from Huawei)
I feel like the 16 pro and max are just prototypes of the next gen iPhones as they are half baked. By the time they get the promised features, they'll be kinda old. Hopefully this won't happen to the 17 variants.
Iphone 16/16 pro after 24h after 48h after 72h after 5days after 7 days after 2 weeks after 3 weeks after 1 month after 2 months after 3 months after 6 months after 1 year and then this cycle continues with next iphone 🙄
I don't think its so odd that Apple has equipped all the iPhone 16s with pretty much the same specifications aside from the cameras. My observation of tech in the era is that behavioral data is a gold mine for these companies and in order to get the maximum amount of Apple users carrying around a device that can use AI to profile them the company would need to do just what they did this year. I think the need to run the local AI model on all the phones drove this decision. When those updates come out these phones will know you better than your family and so will Apple :-)
I believe that the regular and pro are so close this year because of how so many countries are not doing well economically. They bring up the level of the regular iPhone so people upgrade to something that is almost pro rather than waiting it out until next year.
As a small size Asian female, I hv been hating my 14pro weight and wanting make an upgrade; sadly the 16pro only weight 7 grams lighter then my 14pro. But when I’m considering the 16, I feel sad again cos @ year 2024 , apple still gives us 60hz flash rate and a thick edge , that hardly found in android phone w the equivalent price. If not I m stuck in apple eco system… Mac.. Apple Watch ..etc I would be happy to grap a pixel9 or Samsung even xiami 😢
Yup, that's why I use both.. 15 pro and z fold 5. I use my fold for everything and the iphone for calls, texts only.. lol If you can do both, just do it, but I got a killer deal on the fold but paid full price for the 15 pro, which I hate by the way. I should've got the pro max and hate typing on the smaller version, but what you gonna do.
You will notice. Trust me. It’s trash. 🚮 If you have you have a pro model now with 120 HZ. Turn on power saving mode for the battery. 🔋 that will be your user experience. If you like your phone running sluggish. Get the peasant iPhone 16 don’t let Max and other TH-camrs finesse you 😂
While most reviews seem to focus on the little incremental changes to the camera system, how many ‘close to being fanboy’ reviewers did a thorough test on what is the first on any Apple device ever, WiFi7? If they have actually crippled the 320mhz channel width, making thr iPhone 16 really just a WiFi6E device, why is that being ignored for ‘camera review’. Please direct me to a reviewer who actually does ‘technical’ reviews.
@@MaxTechOfficial I’m sorry for missing that video. I’m also sorry we’re getting the same results in WiFi testing. My 16 Pro Max matches exactly the results of my M4 iPad Pros which are WiFi6E’s (why WiFi7 didn’t go in those devices is yet another disappointment).
Most of the people really don't care about the 120hz display, they don't even notice the significant differences. Even when they hear that 120hz drains the battery much faster than 60hz they switch it back to 60hz. For general people, 120hz is overkill and an unnecessary feature. I would take it if I could get an extra 1-2 hours more battery life just by ditching the 120hz. Some tech savvy people and TH-camrs are promoting it so much that a phone is completely unusable without a 120hz display. Snake oil !
Keeping my IPhone 13Pro for another one. These incremental changes still haven’t added up to an upgrade reason yet. That 48MP ultra wide needs to be a much bigger sensor. 5x needs to be 48MP and bigger sensor size. And a 24mp bigger sensor for the selfie. Or give me an ultra with 4 cameras .5 1 x3 x5 all 48MP with good size sensors and good camera apertures. And an awesome 24MP selfie. Yet I feel we will just get slow camera sensor upgrades with one sensor always been way better then the rest.
the 60hz is still pretty smooth. You stop noticing the difference quickly. ALso, tests reveal that the 120hz screen of the iPhone pro only ever reaches 80hz and doesn't seem to exceed this rate very often.....
Macrophotos on the pro max is still only 12mp, unless you turn off macro mode, not much of a real world difference compared to the 15 pro and 14 pro. Low light performance without night mode is worse too.
I haven’t noticed a difference from my iPhone 13 Pro Max to the 16 pro max bezel wise. It’s insignificant and gotta be honest think I like the notch better. This island is blocking more of my screen.
I personally don’t like the 16 plus camera set up. It gives very much iPhone 11 vibes. But not only this my 15 plus is doing just fine after a year later. I still have 97% battery health and iOS 18 is doing my battery good.
Comfort > Premium! At this point 16 is a just a 60 Hz version of 16 Pro - no other noticeable difference. When the baseline iPhones get 120 Hz, Pro sales will be done.
Not that big of an upgrade, I just use the google gemini wigit on my iPhone 11 which is just like Apple intelligence, and I get iOS 18, the phone physically is also the same other then the Dynamic Island and a negligible processor increase. Ima hold off this year and stick with the 11 for at lest 1 or 2 more years.
I chose the plus over the pro max due to weight and a $500 CAD price difference. Can’t justify it for the extra lens. I’d never notice refresh or bezels unless they’re next to each other. Weight and battery are my two biggest requirements.
Yes they made in India, Apple Foxconn opened in 2020 ,they moved out China as now. Foxconn is closing in China. All Apple products are made in Vietnam and India. Samsung products all made in India.
Just one gap: 120hz doesn’t mean 120fps and the 60hz display is not limited to 60fps. You can play games which give 200fps on a 60hz display and of course it will display the same smoothness as the 120hz one.
Here is somenthing new that almost no one is talking about: the 16 pros lineup reduces the refresh rate from 120hz to 80hz when you are fast scrolling, so it’s not that fluid anymore. Check it
@@guidrissen The human eye, above 60hz won’t notice a difference between 80 or 120hz, the same thing for frames per second. And, since the pro motion was released, has been behaving the same.
@@joseteixeira5900this is NOT TRUE. Please tell this to anyone who plays an FPS on a high refresh rate monitor. The difference is night and day. Also frame rate when above the refresh rate looks the same but is smoother at a higher FPS due to less latency with excess frames.
@@ssadisfyingg the smothness you refer is different than the smoothness of fps. I played a lot more than 25 years ago on CRT monitors at 25-30hz (of course hurt the eyes), games with 100-200fps, the game itself is smooth. The fps itself will not change if you play on a monitor at 144hz… We are talking different things, and of course higher refresh rate help to mask a bit the smoothness on fps between 25 to 60hz but the sluggish is still there in a way less noticeable than on a 60hz display or 120hz
@@joseteixeira5900 Please reread my message bro. Obviously more FPS is not going to make 60hz feel like it’s more than 60hz but MORE FPS makes the 1% Lows significantly lower which means less stuttering OVERALL making it smoother.

I would love to see 120hz come to all models of iPhone (long overdo, 60hz in an $800 phone in 2024 is crazy) and would like just a full display with no dynamic island or notch. I think we will have the dynamic island for a couple more years, at least. I would also absolutely love Touch ID to come back.
Dynamic Island is such an atrocity honestly. Takes up more space than the notch. And you keep smudging the selfie camera with your fingers. What a bad idea.
@@ProjectSerpo90 You guys need to change to android now and again. I did multiple times and every time I come back to apple. After a while of using the devices, you realize, that the flashy upgrades wont go far in your life, but I will take the apple ecosystem anyday over Windows+Android. Something about peace of mind and things working seamlessly appeals to me. (Although I do admire the tech behind some android flagships, like the folding phones or even the now new tri-fold from Huawei)
I feel like the 16 pro and max are just prototypes of the next gen iPhones as they are half baked. By the time they get the promised features, they'll be kinda old. Hopefully this won't happen to the 17 variants.
Iphone 16/16 pro after 24h after 48h after 72h after 5days after 7 days after 2 weeks after 3 weeks after 1 month after 2 months after 3 months after 6 months after 1 year and then this cycle continues with next iphone 🙄
Just a reminder - please talk about A Intelligence when it actually exists. Right is it’s just a promos used in commercials. 😂
From someone who switched from a 120 to a 60Hz display this week, sure, you notice at first, but honestly the difference is gone after a few days.
🤮🤮🤮
@@mcrsthekillervery constructive and mature comment. What are you, 5?
@@Wavex-Yes-But-No Didn't know only 5 year olds can vomit 😂
I don't think its so odd that Apple has equipped all the iPhone 16s with pretty much the same specifications aside from the cameras. My observation of tech in the era is that behavioral data is a gold mine for these companies and in order to get the maximum amount of Apple users carrying around a device that can use AI to profile them the company would need to do just what they did this year. I think the need to run the local AI model on all the phones drove this decision. When those updates come out these phones will know you better than your family and so will Apple :-)
So ignoring the design (1,3,8) there are only 5 real differences??😳and 3 of them can only be observed side by side
I thought 16 series all had the new display, minus the refresh rate. There must be a hack to enable 120hz on 16 and plus
Impressed by the design of an old iphone 12 and the size of mm and titanium that gets covered with a case vs aluminum that never breaks
1:55 Chosen :-)
I believe that the regular and pro are so close this year because of how so many countries are not doing well economically. They bring up the level of the regular iPhone so people upgrade to something that is almost pro rather than waiting it out until next year.
Would love to see iPhone pro max 16 comparison with iPhone 15 plus. Please
2:14 the graphics both indicate 6.7", but the Pro Max is 6.9".
keepin my 8plus. never had an issue since 2020 when I bought it new
16 pro vs 16 pro max comparison under heavy load please. Want to see how the phones handle thermals.
Lighter weight is premium for this generation. So tired of carrying a brick :)
Uhhh….. BATTERY has to be noticeable, right?
As a small size Asian female, I hv been hating my 14pro weight and wanting make an upgrade; sadly the 16pro only weight 7 grams lighter then my 14pro. But when I’m considering the 16, I feel sad again cos @ year 2024 , apple still gives us 60hz flash rate and a thick edge , that hardly found in android phone w the equivalent price. If not I m stuck in apple eco system… Mac.. Apple Watch ..etc I would be happy to grap a pixel9 or Samsung even xiami 😢
Yup, that's why I use both.. 15 pro and z fold 5. I use my fold for everything and the iphone for calls, texts only.. lol
If you can do both, just do it, but I got a killer deal on the fold but paid full price for the 15 pro, which I hate by the way. I should've got the pro max and hate typing on the smaller version, but what you gonna do.
I have a iPhone 12 Pro Max. Considering an upgrade to 16+. Most important things are battery life and brightness. Thoughts?
Go ahead. Great choice!
Which iphone has better speakers? iPhone 16 or the 16 pro?
Thank you for commenting on whether a person on pro will notice the 60Hz screen on the non pro model, which was my main concern.
You will notice. Trust me. It’s trash. 🚮 If you have you have a pro model now with 120 HZ. Turn on power saving mode for the battery. 🔋 that will be your user experience. If you like your phone running sluggish. Get the peasant iPhone 16 don’t let Max and other TH-camrs finesse you 😂
How about the differences in battery life?

While most reviews seem to focus on the little incremental changes to the camera system, how many ‘close to being fanboy’ reviewers did a thorough test on what is the first on any Apple device ever, WiFi7? If they have actually crippled the 320mhz channel width, making thr iPhone 16 really just a WiFi6E device, why is that being ignored for ‘camera review’. Please direct me to a reviewer who actually does ‘technical’ reviews.
We did test it. Here’s the video: iPhone 16 Pro vs 15 Pro - REAL Differences After 1 Week!

@@MaxTechOfficial I’m sorry for missing that video. I’m also sorry we’re getting the same results in WiFi testing. My 16 Pro Max matches exactly the results of my M4 iPad Pros which are WiFi6E’s (why WiFi7 didn’t go in those devices is yet another disappointment).
Can you guys do 15 pro max vs 16 plus?
Your contents are the best 💯
Most of the people really don't care about the 120hz display, they don't even notice the significant differences. Even when they hear that 120hz drains the battery much faster than 60hz they switch it back to 60hz. For general people, 120hz is overkill and an unnecessary feature. I would take it if I could get an extra 1-2 hours more battery life just by ditching the 120hz. Some tech savvy people and TH-camrs are promoting it so much that a phone is completely unusable without a 120hz display. Snake oil !
Keeping my IPhone 13Pro for another one. These incremental changes still haven’t added up to an upgrade reason yet. That 48MP ultra wide needs to be a much bigger sensor. 5x needs to be 48MP and bigger sensor size. And a 24mp bigger sensor for the selfie.
Or give me an ultra with 4 cameras .5 1 x3 x5 all 48MP with good size sensors and good camera apertures. And an awesome 24MP selfie.
Yet I feel we will just get slow camera sensor upgrades with one sensor always been way better then the rest.
the 60hz is still pretty smooth. You stop noticing the difference quickly. ALso, tests reveal that the 120hz screen of the iPhone pro only ever reaches 80hz and doesn't seem to exceed this rate very often.....

Macrophotos on the pro max is still only 12mp, unless you turn off macro mode, not much of a real world difference compared to the 15 pro and 14 pro. Low light performance without night mode is worse too.
Nice video
I haven’t noticed a difference from my iPhone 13 Pro Max to the 16 pro max bezel wise. It’s insignificant and gotta be honest think I like the notch better. This island is blocking more of my screen.
I still can’t believe iPhone 16 is stuck on usb 2.0. What a dick move by Apple.
I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and thinking about getting the iPhone 16 Plus… I don’t know, I do prefer 120hz display?? 😮
I personally don’t like the 16 plus camera set up. It gives very much iPhone 11 vibes. But not only this my 15 plus is doing just fine after a year later. I still have 97% battery health and iOS 18 is doing my battery good.
Comfort > Premium! At this point 16 is a just a 60 Hz version of 16 Pro - no other noticeable difference. When the baseline iPhones get 120 Hz, Pro sales will be done.
I went from a 14 pro max to a 16 plus and honestly I’m loving the 16 plus’s is the same thing as the pro max without the 3rd camera
Not that big of an upgrade, I just use the google gemini wigit on my iPhone 11 which is just like Apple intelligence, and I get iOS 18, the phone physically is also the same other then the Dynamic Island and a negligible processor increase. Ima hold off this year and stick with the 11 for at lest 1 or 2 more years.
I think non-pro models have major changes this year. 16 pro max is exactly a copy paste with minor changes. 15 pro max still feels better.
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?
What a joke of a video, anybody cand see this difference between these two phones. Just click bait, nothing new.
Just get the pro Max the 60 hz make the phone feel terrible after months of use, you will never regret your purchase with the better device
Titanium is strong, not durable.
Stainless steel would be used for real usability.
Titanium is not some magic material that’s best in everything.
I jsut wish we could get the cool colors in the pro max, I want a teal pro max lol
how about that unsightly pill dynamic island taking up space while movie and gaming
I chose the plus over the pro max due to weight and a $500 CAD price difference. Can’t justify it for the extra lens. I’d never notice refresh or bezels unless they’re next to each other. Weight and battery are my two biggest requirements.
You deserve to have an iPhone 16 Pro. The plain iPhone just sucks sweetie. I’m sorry. 😞
Samsung s25 coming soon 😂😂 to battle with iPhone 😂😂
i think i will upgrade from iphone 13 to iphone 16 pro max
I will wait for the iphone Air and i will keep my 15pm for now🤣
Yes they made in India, Apple Foxconn opened in 2020 ,they moved out China as now. Foxconn is closing in China. All Apple products are made in Vietnam and India. Samsung products all made in India.
My iPhone 16 Pro Max shipped from ZhenZhou, China. There are still many being made in China.
Commenting with an iPhone 13 Pro that’s going strong as ever!
Just one gap: 120hz doesn’t mean 120fps and the 60hz display is not limited to 60fps. You can play games which give 200fps on a 60hz display and of course it will display the same smoothness as the 120hz one.
Here is somenthing new that almost no one is talking about: the 16 pros lineup reduces the refresh rate from 120hz to 80hz when you are fast scrolling, so it’s not that fluid anymore.
Check it
@@guidrissen The human eye, above 60hz won’t notice a difference between 80 or 120hz, the same thing for frames per second. And, since the pro motion was released, has been behaving the same.
@@joseteixeira5900this is NOT TRUE. Please tell this to anyone who plays an FPS on a high refresh rate monitor. The difference is night and day. Also frame rate when above the refresh rate looks the same but is smoother at a higher FPS due to less latency with excess frames.
@@ssadisfyingg the smothness you refer is different than the smoothness of fps. I played a lot more than 25 years ago on CRT monitors at 25-30hz (of course hurt the eyes), games with 100-200fps, the game itself is smooth. The fps itself will not change if you play on a monitor at 144hz… We are talking different things, and of course higher refresh rate help to mask a bit the smoothness on fps between 25 to 60hz but the sluggish is still there in a way less noticeable than on a 60hz display or 120hz
@@joseteixeira5900 Please reread my message bro. Obviously more FPS is not going to make 60hz feel like it’s more than 60hz but MORE FPS makes the 1% Lows significantly lower which means less stuttering OVERALL making it smoother.
