Leather cases were slippery to me. Just like the clear ones. I like silicon. If I get the 16PM I might get 2 or 3 cases. Beats black. Silicon black. And then BodyGuardz expensive black case that keeps iPhones cool. So they say. My 14PM only gets hot when wirelessly connected to CarPlay.
@@sydneysteve7 true. I have an apple clear case for my 15pro but I use the $5 ugreen clear case more. haha the apple clear case is cut in the bottom thats why I dont like it much
I’d get the beats case but it would probably also be $50 like the Apple silicone cases, unless they unveiled the price already because idk how much they cost
Exactly, getting rid of leather and getting rid of stainless steel on the Apple Watch are the two things that I hate the most that Apple has done within the last few years
The Beats cases were a big surprise. Though, think about that, not too surprising, since Beats used to sell chargers. And Beats chargers were actually pretty good, they were basically old iPad chargers but more compact.
That new Beats case seems like the one to get since the silicone cases tend to wear poorly over the time. A glossy coating gives the case the same durability of plastic case, but with added microfiber lining inside. Nice.
And this has flexible TPU sides which are more durable, crack resistant than the all-around polycarbonate on the clear case. Should mean more clicky buttons too.
I like clear cases but I don't like the cut out at the bottom of the Apple clear cases. I don't know why they do that. I'll probably go for a third party clear case like Spigen and also save about 50%.
How are the buttons to press on all of them including beats, I wasn’t a fan of the silicon cases previously and loved the metal buttons on the leather cases.
I’ve had 2 that fell apart and the silicone ripped off within 6 months. Ironically, the one for my iPhone 5c actually held up way better than the phone itself. My phone did get tanlines from all the (intentional) holes in it though.
It’s silicon, what do you expect, try the ESR armor tough case if you really want protection at the cost of size, you get a case and a built in screen protector as well as camera lens protectors.
The Apple clear case is rigid and doesn’t turn yellow. I’m getting one today for my blue titanium 15PM cause I’m tired of hiding this beauty under those silicone cases 😊
@@Rinnara21 depends when you use it. Yellowing happens when its exposed to UV Light (Daytime Sun or some artificial UV light sources). even DBrand has a free replacement policy if their clear cases turn yellow, because it will eventually turn yellow.
Problem I have with the silicone cases is they are really awkward getting in and out of pockets as they’re so grippy. I dropped my phone so much more with a silicone case on. I was sadly one of the few fine woven cases, really liked the texture feel and also they were much better for pockets!
I wish they ditched the bottom cutout design on that Beats case....it reminds me of the Nomad sport cases, but with a working camera control button. As always - great video! I am looking forward to updating my Apple hardware Monday and watching your videos on each OS! Stone Gray is my favorite, but I really liked the previous "Clay" color.
Last time I got a case was for my iPhone 12 and I got the clear mag safe case, I returned it because the buttons were hard to press, has this been improved since the iPhone 12 days?
My leather case for my XS has weathered well, but it’s time to move and buy a new phone, really liked the thin and minimalist look of the old Apple leather case. I think I will be buying a silicone case when I upgrade to a 16 pro, but will wait to buy a 3rd party leather case to make sure they have the camera control compatible figured out
I always found that the clear one was too slippery for me. I love Apple silicone cases, not fond of the color shades this time around. I do enjoy the yellow though.
@@OweshDiwan96 I know, but keeping won’t save me the price and in my country prices are ridiculous. 1500$ for 256gb pro max phone. Therefore it’s better selling it or trading it in to Apple instead of it sitting in the side. However, I’m still not sure if besides battery life which is my main thing I am not sure if there are many enough upgrades coming from the regular 14 pro to the 16 pro max instead of just replacing the battery and wait for the 17 pro max instead of it. What would you personally choose to do?
I was wondering about that Beats case so thanks for the video. Really surprised it was a glossy finish. The "fingernail tap test" made the Beats case sound like thinner plastic. But I wonder why the cutout in the bottom..... Not a huge fan of that.
I believe it’s to pop it out easier. I’ve had one for my last 4 iPhones. Have dropped it numerous times and it has not had any damage. The case holds up well! Also I really like how it doesn’t turn yellow.
Are these still lint magnets? I heard they tried a new coating I like those colors, not sure what to match with Desert Titanium, thinking green or plum
Definitely agree with you on the blue. It looks very nice, but I wish they stop cutting out the bottom of the clear case. I don’t know why they do that , but I can’t buy it with it designed that way.
@Zollotech quick question why would you try to fit a 6.7 15 pro max into a case for an iPhone 16 pro max which is 2 inches bigger&expect it not to fall right out
I like these kind of cases Apple makes, it does cover the full body of the iPhones instead of leaving the cutout for the Camera Control button like other case manufacturers do, unless they do create a dedicated button for it
Intrigued by the beats case but i dont like the open bottom and I thought the apple clear was too slippery felt like a bar of soap wondering if its the same for the beats case
Can you compare the plum color next to a dark cherry one from some time ago? Online they look nearly the same. Maybe you have a watch band in this color to compare?
I ordered the near white beats case but after watching this video realised it’s not silicone but a hard case - so that got cancelled. Don’t know what other to get.
My biggest issue is that apple cases are not high quality and I have had the frame of the cases crack especially where the buttons are. They are like cheap AliExpress cases with their brand slapped on them.
One thing I really wish Apple would do with their case is add small lips at all 4 corners on the back like the Spigen cases do. Totally eliminates the rocking caused by the camera bump sticking out the back of the phone. I also hate the open bottom on the Apple clear case so I’d likely not get one
Sorry Aaron but I feel like at times you miss details that some people would really like to know at times and it’s quite frustrating to watch a whole video and not get these answers.. One of the reasons I’m on the fence about upgrading is how much larger is the new 16 Pro Max compared to 15 Pro Max and before. I really would like a larger phone, and you could’ve easily put a Pro Max case next to a Plus sized case to really see the difference but you never did.. just some criticism and hopefully you’d get around to this at some point..
Apples silicone cases are just designed to protect the iPhone from bumps and drops but they themselves aren’t durable enough to withstand those bumps and drops without damage. I dropped mine on carpeted wooden floors at home and a silicone chunk was missing from the case revealing the hard shell underneath.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max will fit the cases decently with the obvious differences with the action button and the caption slot. The camera opening is a little larger but still works. I have to compare the phone sizes.
I do miss leather but hey have to have something at launch so just chalk it up too cost of being an early adopter. I went with the denim for Pro Max. I do wonder what is the embargo time frame for MFI 3rd party do they have too wait 2 weeks or longer after iPhone launch to start sales??
I wish the clear case didn’t have the cutout at the bottom. I guess I’ll get another Speigen case. Too bad there only has a cutout of the capture button. Not sure why Apple does this with the clear case.
Leather cases were the best.
They still are. Andar leather cases are great.
@@CyberData4 nomad or dbrand as well

Their leather cases were always the greatest
Blue, denim, dark purple, and love the forest green!!! Not happy with the bottomless clear!
I can’t believe everything on that table adds up to $500!!
I brought an apple offical case, it fell apart. My $6 Kmart one is still going a year later. They look nice, but so over priced. Save your cash.

Lol ain't no way!? That's 40 per case. Oh wait, apple cases.
Costs $20 to make all those
Nice, Finewoven needed to bounce!
Nah, they work just fine. Still have mine and still in good condition.
the FineWoven is the best case I ever had....Love it. Amazing patina and feel
Their cases are getting progressively cheaper looking. Bring back leather!!!!!
They think cow farts are destroying the planet
Look elsewhere for a leather case, buddy. Carbon neutral 2030 for Apple.
@@VscounterYeah and yet they transform previous accessories that were free and sell them separately adding more boxes😂
@@thepunisher8649 True too lol
Probably Cost like 25 cents to make. Maybe not even that
Can always count on you for early looks at cases. Thanks
How they don’t have a dessert titanium case ?? 🤦🏽♂️
That’s clear case 😂
😂
Really dessert? Sounds yummy…! 😋 😉
@@noxnext first edible phone case
You spelled desert wrong I think lol 😂
6:40 your hilarious Aaron “and then the phone just turned on”😂😂😂 love the vids.
Denim, Dark green and plum look very nice! And the beats case is also a winner! 👍
I think the Beats case look better than the clear case. The magnetic lines are thinner.
slippery, fingerprint magnet...
I’d get the beats case but it would probably also be $50 like the Apple silicone cases, unless they unveiled the price already because idk how much they cost

Wish they would have brought back the leather ones. Loved those out of any other case

@@alexh2665 Eco guys are joing the game. They will never bring high quality and natural materials anymore :(
Apple will never do leather again, as long as they are a slave to ESG regulations (look it up if you’re not familiar)

@@rp3210 This is definitely a relief. My clear cases on my 13 and 14 PM became peeling and cracked within 6 months.
Thanks for this !
Cool video 👍
I like the blue case as well
Does stuff stick to the silicone case?
great vid. now which colour to choose? green or blue...
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.
For the clear case, how do the buttons feel. Clicky?

@@natedoggschu Now that’s a marketing opportunity 🤣
You should try and fit the 16 PM dummy unit into the case. Very surprised you weren’t curious enough to try 😮
Thanks for showing the colors. I was wondering what ultramarine looked like. 👍

SO LONG FINEWOVEN 😂
I like all your cases.and i believe all this will fit well to 16 models❤

Can you now show how new cases fit on iPhone 14 and 13 and what it takes for those phones to fall out of it?
Does the Beats case show fingerprints?

They’re made from polycarbonate as opposed to silicone so perhaps it’s a manufacturing issue. 🤔
