I just got a 16 plus today. I only upgraded because my 12 pro max started to run its course. Battery life shortening, microphone stopped working. So glad I picked this up over the the 16 pro or pro max
It's sad to me that we've just accepted our expensive "flagship" smartphones to crap out after a few years and get a new one instead of trying to fix it.
@@AnkurDetrojathe battery life is very very good. Been using it on and off for the past 10 hours and I’m on 74% still. Should last all day even for heavy users. I personally don’t care about the 60hz display. I came from a 120hz old android but on that phone I always ran it on 60hz to save battery anyway.
Did the exact same upgrade. Bought a 256GB Teal Plus. I loved my 12PM all the way up until this year when it started having hardware issues. I love high refresh but I just couldnt get over the regular 16 colors, the signifigantly lighter weight ( than both 16PM as well as 12PM), and the money savings. For those wondering, the battery is a huge step up ( and I had mine replaced only 3 months ago, so I'd say I'm comparing 100% life on each phone). The cameras blow the 12PM out of the water, I don't miss the 2.5x telephoto because it wasn't a very good lens from the factory. 2X fusion is excellent and never leaves me wanting for more information in the image. I don't need the 48mp ultrawide, because in comparison to my 12PM the 16 Plus is a massive upgrade in that department. I remember the day I bought my 12 Pro Max new. I liked it a lot coming from a 6s Plus, but I can't say I've ever smiled so much in the week after I bought a phone as I have every time I see the beautiful teal back on my new 16 Plus. So, I have absolutely no regrets on this one not going pro.
My favourite channel is going slowly to its own end because Lew forgot what we liked in the past. You should comeback to the roots Lew and also, take us sometimes outside your office etc.
I’m with the 13 right now and last time I upgraded was when my 11 broke. Probably gonna wait till 17 or 18 to upgrade since this one’s still doing me good.
Just got the 16 cause I sorta had to upgrade from my XS before it sorta got a bit too* old and it’s a good phone. Definitely can see an improvement from 6 generations ago (battery is awesome, the camera is better, and new buttons are always cool), tho not as major as I thought I’d see tbh 😅 Definitely doesn’t seem like a necessary upgrade unless you’ve got a much older phone. Still, it’s a solid phone and I’m super glad I skipped on the Pro deal. Was too much money anyways and apparently, there’s barely any difference with worse colors (I got the Pink and boy is it pretty). Great video guys!
The most satisfying part is to see the first time booting process out of the box, and i hope you will record that part as well as upload it in the UA-cam.❤❤
I’ll stick with my iPhone 15 Pro in matte black. I’m gonna be holding off until the 17 Pro or maybe even the 18 series until I upgrade next. The battery may not be the greatest, but that’s what power banks are for. and I have the 256 version so I’m good for years to come.
Just business, don't be emotional. Nobody has forced people to buy, each year , regular iPhone 12,13,14,15 and make them part of top 10 smartphones sales every year until now. Could Apple give 120hz on basic iPhone ? Yes Is there a benefit for Apple to give 120hz ? Absolutely Not. People buy what they want and they stupidly have accepted to buy regular 60hz iPhone and you can't do nothing against that. People will buy regular iPhone 16 too so you are crying for no reason.
1️⃣Should regular iPhone have 120hz ? Yes, no doubt. 2️⃣Could Apple bring 120hz on regular iPhone ? Yes, no doubt. 3️⃣Do Apple has benefits to bring 120hz on regular iPhone ? Absolutely not, selling phones is a business. 📌The fact that regular iPhone 12,13,14,15 have been on top 10 smartphones sales each year prove that it's not a priority, something user of basic iPhone need. They DGAF***. 📌Being that emotional about an object, saying it's a crime, doesn't make any sense. 4️⃣Who force people to buy regular iPhone ? 5️⃣Is it a question of life or death to buy a regular iPhone ?
Got mine yesterday and love it. But the wobble test was pointless to me unless you plan on having no case on your phone the entire time you have it it doesn't matter. And who uses their phone placed on the table anyway
Apple watch series 10 in titanium colors pleaaaase , there are tons of unboxing videos of apple watch on youtube , but how you unbox products is really just like a therapy
There is a major reflection problem in iphone 16 plus(or in mine especially). You should cover that also, because many people depend on ur geniune reviews before buying phone. If u want I can share pictures. Hope u cover this topic.
It’s rumored the next iPhone SE will be a game changer at $549, so much that Apple didn’t want to release it with the 16. Probably in the Spring. It’s said to have the A-18 chip as well! 😳
Since they went from the A16 chip to the A18, that means that they're gonna go from the iPhone 16 straight to the 18 right? Makes perfect sense to Apple

I was going to say get a KaiOS phone, but unluckily, meta dropped support for WhatsApp on KaiOS, and this year WhatsApp just stopped working on these devices, so text is not fully supported anymore :(
@@justagirlplayingames16 Yes iphone 16 is worth it and the only difference is the new camera button because Apple Intelligence will be applied to both 16 and 15 models and it meets the standards
nah bro. i still have my iphone 13 midnight too. and this new camera look ugly af ngl. why would they bring back the Iphone X camera look tho 😂💀 if you are deciding to upgrade might as well go for the pro and pro max version. cause these base models looks mid
I’m thinking about getting 13PM. Do you use one? If you do can u share experience? Is it ok in 2024? My 12 is so old for now, so about to upgrade to newer models.
@@this_world.s_test if you have a 12, then upgrading would certainly be worth it. The difference between 13pm and the 16’s now is minimal at best. Slightly better battery and usb c is about it.
@@this_world.s_testit’s not old you utter muppet i’ve got the iphone 12 and it’s still great to use best phone i’ve had upto now. from iphone my last samsung phone was the s6 edge
I don’t think it’s a significant enough upgrade from the 15 pro to upgrade. If you’re not a heavy camera user, the button doesn’t mean much. And doesn’t that make the action button kind of useless? I get it opens it up for a new function but meh? Plus, the new size isn’t that much bigger. Only 0.2mm bigger. It doesn’t make a huge difference from day-to-day. And the older models are also getting apple intelligence so. Only big difference this year is the colors. Just not for me. I think I’ll wait.
I’m convinced next year will be big for Apple. High possibility of iPhone air to come out as rumored. Considering how small the updates were this year. Maybe they didn’t want to spend too much on 16 and focus on 17. Really hoping this is the case.
Sole reason I never got the 15 was because of eSIM but if physical sim is back I’ll be getting that teal plus I’ll miss my product red though that’s all I’ve ever owned in Apple space
i’ll just wait for the 17
get a Pixel.
I say this every year
I'm sure next year you'll say the same thing:
“I’ll just wait for the 18”
I been iPhone user since xs max thinking to wait on s25 ultra or wait till 16 pro max desert titanium is back in stock because the colour so catchy
And i will for the 25 foldable….
I have the 13, and it’s still going strong. I’m gonna wait until the iPhone 19, or even 20
would still look the same

M still on 11..working great 👍 I changed the battery once
Ah yes the wobble test because I always lay my phone on a flat table and press with my finger instead of just holding it in my hand
To be fair, a lot of people lay their phone on a flat table while eating. But most people also use cases so the wobble test doesn't really matter.
@@RationalLlamaexactly I sometimes text with the phone on the table 😂
The wobble test is crazy since only crazy people rock a phone without a case

i thought the iphone 16 doesn't have a sim card slot
IPhone are great looking phones. Shame we gotta stick it in a huge case to protect it
This guy obsessed with iPhone is on next level lol 😂
I upgrade to pro max when I had 13 pro max and I love it. Went to a couple concerts and took great pictures and videos 😊

I’m done upgrading phones lol the 15 Plus is gonna last me years hopefully 10+years 🙏 😂
the only reason i considered the 16 pro max is bc it had a bigger display. but when i saw the plus and the pro max side by side. they’re the same😂
I prefer something that won't blow up in my hand/face because some guy from the Tiny Hat Club doesn't like me
The pro is the perfect size go with the pro I say with 120 hrz is a must and shout out to the community tho more what did you pick?
I wish I could get a new iPhone like that. I really need one. I don’t even need the 16.
