personally, I'd rather be able to start using Apple Intelligence as soon as it's available (even if it's not for a few weeks) so that I can learn how to use it effectively. but I want the pro max cus of the massive screen!
Yes will upgrade from iPhone 13. As an amateur photographer I wonder if the pixel peeping of the 5x will be an improvement over the excellent 3x of the 15. Shout out to Tony northrup.
I have the pink iPhone 13 and strongly considering upgrading to the iPhone 16 Pro, I like the ProMax screen but I have small hands so I’m worried it’ll be too big for me to comfortably hold
I didn't notice any heat issues but I did do a stress test from 3DMark. The iPhone 16 Pro Max stability score was better than than the regular Pro, I think because the Pro Max has more thermal headroom...
I’m patiently waiting for the store to open up Friday morning I currently have 15 promax. I just want to see if the 16 promax is more ridiculous to handle than what I have now
good review. will be upgrading to 16 PM for the bigger screen, better battery life, processor performance, camera upgrades, and cooling improvements. i like that apple focused on improving the "basics" of the phone, and are not going too crazy with random redesigns or features.
This is why I don't like or trust Tom's reviews on anything. They are very biased even if they claim they are not. Using Apple for years and then reviewing Android doesn't sit well with me. The only reason I come here is because their feed ends up somehow in mine. This is an Apple review company. Period
Gonna be getting the 16 pro. Since it will be a free upgrade through my phone carrier. I am currently using a 13PM. Didn’t wanna go with a smaller phone at first but I’m actually looking forward to it now. A little concerned on battery life. But with how bad my battery has gotten on my current phone anything will be better lol
Even when the iPhone misses THE single biggest feature (AI ) Toms guide praises Apple and the iPhone, its so depressing that Apple as the only Company on the planet can get away with yet another hilarious "upgrade" .😢
Thanks for the comment. We actually do call Apple out for not having Apple Intelligence ready at launch and go over pros and cons of the features. And I say it feels like an iterative upgrade for this very reason
What are you waffling about ? If the phone has upgraded Battery, Performance, Video, Camera, etc which it does then it's a worthwhile upgrade. Or they could have just done what Google did which is basically not upgrade anything just change the design and the idiots buy it 😂
Been upgrading IPhone every year since the 5s until 14PM.. skipped 15PM now getting the 16Pro.. no point upgrading every year cos the improvements are minimal each year
Have to Agree, When i got the 15 pro Max it was finally back to the close size of my Favorite 11 pro max. But know i not sure if i can go up in size at from the 15 pro max🤨
I am new to Tom's Guide videos. The info is very good, but I found some of the choices in background music in this video to be quite distracting, even off-putting. It may just be me, but there were sections with rapid drum hits or random high-pitched sounds that, quite frankly, made me anxious while listening. Just sayin'.
Suspiciously Iphone 16 plus battery and test is absent. I havemt found a channel nor site doing a battery test with the 16plus. Did Apple send out a NDA to exclude the 16plus testing so people dont realize they down sized the battery?
Im thinking of switching to iPhone after years of being on Samsungs & other android phones. I just want a new phone that actually feels different. Im currently on the Z Fold 5. It was a great phone but after months the weight of it is very annoying & I hardly open it anymore because I want to just use my one hand. My eyes are on the 16 Pro. .
I'm keeping my s21 ultra for another year (the longest I've held the same phone ever). So around this time if the Iphone 17 pro max will be just a small upgrade again, I will actually either get the z fold 7 or wait for the s26 ultra.
I believe you all made a mistake. Charging speeds have increased: - MagSafe 15w → 25w - Wired 20w → 45w Edit: ignore! I see in your website review that that report is false, bummer
yeah im pissed these guys way oversold it in the presentation. sounds like complete shit in comparison because they set the bar so high deceiving us with real mics. I was expecting it to be incredible but wasnt understanding how they were gonna pull that off with phone mics

IPHONE ARE TRASH! THE 13,14,15, AND 16 PRO AND PROMAX IS THE SAME PHONE! APPLE NEEDS TO STOP WITH THIS CRAP. THEY NOT DOING ANYTHING NEW OR DIFFERENT! ONLY DIFFERENT IS THE 16 PROMAX HAS 6'9 INCH SCREEN. THIS WAY SAMSUNG OUT DOING THEM IN SALES, WHY APPLE PREORDERS ARE DOWN. DO BETTER APPLE
So what all this other innovation out here that you speak of? A folding phone with a plastic display that most aren’t buying? I heard some rumors about the S25. Square design with thinner bezels and a faster chip. Improved cameras. I’m blown away😏
As does your comment. Go work at Apple if you want innovation or zip it and move onto something else if you’re not willing to do something about it. Ohhhhhh. Prolly because you don’t run a 3 trillion company so you have no clue what you’d do releasing a new phone.
Do you plan to upgrade to iPhone 16 Pro? Tell us what you think.

Upgrading from the 11 to the 16 pro. I personally feel that a 4-5 years cycle would warrant a justifiable upgrade for the everyday person.
I will upgrade from my 12 pro max to 16 pro max desert titanium 🧡✨
Coming from iPhone 15 Pro Max this year I’m going to stay with my old device.. Apple AI out the box is a deal breaker for me 😮💨📱
I prefer your video over any of the other reviews so far. Thank you!
thanks for watching
Thanks! really appreciate it
If that battery life is really that good on the small Pro... I am more than happy that I pre ordered it. Im so tired of my big 15 Plus.
me too! i almost went for the PM, but it's too big for me. I'm happy to be getting a decent battery bump with just the standard Pro
@@MarshallSteeves I GOT THE PRO MAX BECAUSE I LIKE BIGGER. 33 HOURS BBY!
You guys will mix that Pro Max Battery! I promise you. I already did that swap, I’m going back to the iPhone 16 Pro Max!
@@Aggie4life77 i'm going to give it a trial run, but i really don't think it's worth how uncomfortable it is
@@MarshallSteeves I agree with you on that. My hands are smallish and I am so annoyed from big phones.
Probably the best review ive seen since this morning
6’3 screen size is something I’ve been waiting for i don’t even care about camera control
upgrading from base 13 to 16 PM
Same
@@SaikanthKrishnaVlogs that battery life is gonna be insane
@@MidwestPyro55 Yeah, literally waiting for 16 PM
I have the pink iPhone 13 and strongly considering upgrading to the iPhone 16 Pro, I like the ProMax screen but I have small hands so I’m worried it’ll be too big for me to comfortably hold
All these reviews on youtube and i can't wait to get my 16 pro max this friday! Great video by the way! 👍
Btw Siri can do the same timer thingy on my iPhone 12 too.
When you said Siri setup a timer my IPhone 15 Pro started it 😂😅
I need those photographic style for B roll shots!
I just ordered iPhone 16 pro Max, I hope it's not going to be too big
its going to be. Hope you have big hands.
It is
Were there any issues of battery overheating or phone getting hot during trials?
I didn't notice any heat issues but I did do a stress test from 3DMark. The iPhone 16 Pro Max stability score was better than than the regular Pro, I think because the Pro Max has more thermal headroom...
I was going to upgrade from a 14 Pro Max, but the more I thought about it, it just doesn't seem necessary.
It’s all about the Camera Control and Apple Intelligence - if you think you need them then that would be the reason to pull the trigger
same, not sure if Apple AI and the better camera are ENOUGH, but if my carrier says I can get the 16 Pro for no additional cash on trade in, why not?
Is the camera better on the 16 pro max for photos?
Is there any difference between the 16 pro and pro max besides size?
I’m patiently waiting for the store to open up Friday morning I currently have 15 promax. I just want to see if the 16 promax is more ridiculous to handle than what I have now
I wonder too, I can't find any videos comparing pro max
Probably will be upgrading if the trade-in price is right. I’m in a 13 Pro, so I’m thinking it’s about time
Are you getting Pro or Pro Max?
@@markspoonauer5360 definitely the Pro, the Max seems like a bit too much for my tastes
good review. will be upgrading to 16 PM for the bigger screen, better battery life, processor performance, camera upgrades, and cooling improvements. i like that apple focused on improving the "basics" of the phone, and are not going too crazy with random redesigns or features.
I like this review because it supports my preorder 16PM lolz

Just hope the battery is good on the 16 series and doesn't tank after a few months
iPhone 16 pro screen size for me. Sick of the max for nothing. I’ll hold this for a while.
Been considering downsizing from a 15 Pro Max to the 16 Pro - your battery test suggests I wouldn’t be taking a big hit on battery, is this right😮?
No actually we clocked the 16 Pro at 14:07 so 5 mins more than last year’s Pro Max - 11:32
No the 16 pro seems to last even LONGER than the 15 pro max
@@TomsGuideUSis this tested with against a brandnew iPhone 15 Pro Max? thank youj
Tom I have to agree I was pumped about the iPhone 16 pro max but seeing the screen size oh no… it’s too big for my hands 😫🥵
Let's forget about the 16 pro max battery for now..
Iphone 16 pro battery is better than the 15 pro max?? That is insane!!

I actually do think it’s a worthy upgrade. It just depends on which iPhone you currently have
Just beware that Pwm flicker on displays causes eye strain
Cinematic sounds best in my opinion 🤷🏻♂️
I’m defo upgrading:
-25W MagSafe Fast Charging
-Camera Control
-Studio Mics
-Audio Mix
-Wi-Fi 7
-Thinnest bezels on any Apple device
-Larger 6.9 inch display
-1 nit brightness mode
-48MP Ultra Wide Camera (up from 12)
-48 MP Fusion Camera (new sensor)
-Zero shutter lag ProRAW
-Anti-reflective camera lens coating
-4K 120FPS
-Graphene cooling (sustained performance)
-Dolby Vision Cinematic Mode
-Dolby Vision QuickTake 4K 60
-Updated Photographic Styles
-Updated Ceramic Shield
-Significantly upgraded battery
-A18 Pro Chip
Then shots at night or low light on iPhone 16 pro are worse than s24U and pixel 9 pro? Please answer this question 🙏
Been upgrading IPhone every year since the 5s until 14PM.. skipped 15PM now getting the 16Pro.. no point upgrading every year cos the improvements are minimal each year
Transition between different speakers/audio was too quick. Imo should have had 5 consecutive seconds of each to really be able to feel the difference.
Have to Agree, When i got the 15 pro Max it was finally back to the close size of my Favorite 11 pro max. But know i not sure if i can go up in size at from the 15 pro max🤨

The 6.1 Pro isn’t “small” 😂
Relatively speaking 😉 Alas, smaller phones are going away
@@markspoonauer5360 Dude this isn’t small at all. Now we’re left with only gigantic phones.
4:10 that is what I wanted to know
12:00 this as well
Your reviewing iPhone units are assembled in India or China?
Assembled in America! 🇺🇸
Sorry for off topic
Can i buy IPhone 13 now?
This dude really said the 6.1 inch went from a small to mid size phone...over .2 inches...
Wild take...
Suspiciously Iphone 16 plus battery and test is absent. I havemt found a channel nor site doing a battery test with the 16plus. Did Apple send out a NDA to exclude the 16plus testing so people dont realize they down sized the battery?

The pro size should have been 6.4 inch.
But according to latest leaks its revealed support 45 w wired charging

Audio mix is a dud huh
I'd say it works in terms of removing background noise but the sound quality itself was tinny depending on mode
@@markspoonauer5360 Isn’t it adjustable (right side of the screen), so the audio can be fine tuned according to conditions?
yeah im pissed these guys way oversold it in the presentation. sounds like complete shit in comparison because they set the bar so high deceiving us with real mics. I was expecting it to be incredible but wasnt understanding how they were gonna pull that off with phone mics
@@RudyBloor To be fair we tested it in a really harsh environment but I agree the sound quality could be better
The sound quality on the audio mix is terrible.
We possibly pushed it past its limits - in frame sounded relatively good given the stress it was under but studio could not handle that environment
dude not cool to not duck the wake word in a yt video, setting off viewers devices to start timers etc....... its 2024......this is an age old lesson.
The dynamic range on the video is atrocious compared to the s24 and pixel 9

Blah blah blah
OK. THEN WALK AWAY INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING.
BETTER YET. YOU GO WORK AT APPLE FOR 12 HOURS A DAY TO MAKE THE PHONE YOU WANT
The iPhone lacks innovation, presenting a stagnant product line.
As opposed to what exactly?
So what all this other innovation out here that you speak of? A folding phone with a plastic display that most aren’t buying? I heard some rumors about the S25. Square design with thinner bezels and a faster chip. Improved cameras. I’m blown away😏
@@Aggie4life77i guess thats why its rumor lol
As does your comment.

Ohhhhhh. Prolly because you don’t run a 3 trillion company so you have no clue what you’d do releasing a new phone.
Like many other phones
