To prevent accidentally pressing the camera control, you can go to Settings in Camera, and there you can switch it so you have to press the button twice to open the camera 👍🏼
I just upgraded from a 12 Pro Max (I’ve had for 4 years) to the new 16 Pro Max. I really liked my 12 Pro Max and didn’t have any problems with it per se, but I just wanted to upgrade after 4 years. I felt it was time. Plus, I did eventually want some of the newer features that I didn’t have with my 12 Pro Max like the 120Hz Pro Motion display, bigger battery, better cameras, etc. I still have a lot to play around with on this new 16 Pro Max, I haven’t gotten into everything yet, but so far it’s been great! I am looking to get more into gaming on this phone too, which I haven’t done in a long while now. Hoping to try out some of the Apple Intelligence features too, especially the new (hopefully much improved) Siri and the clean up tool in photos, among other things. Lastly, given the power and capabilities of this new phone, I’m also hoping to hang onto it for as long, or more, than my previous iPhone.
@@wesleyfrankenofficial Objectively, if he's offering an opinion, there's not much to support it. He may not like the changers to the 16, but there are reasons people could cite to make the switch. Objective vs subjective.
This year after much deliberation, I opted to downsize from a 12 Pro Max to a 16 Pro. As there is virtually no difference between the PM and P this year, it seemed like the time to try. It’s been an adjustment but I am really digging the smaller form factor. I haven’t found a use case yet where I am sacrificing anything in terms of productivity or creativity. I do miss the larger screen occasionally, but still have the old Pro M to use as a sort of micro iPad for media consumption. So far the smaller battery has been fine, though I certainly wouldn’t mind a bigger one. If it ends up being a mistake, hell the 17 is only 11 months away…
I didn't get my 15 Pro Max till February, so I sure as shit won't be changing before the 18/19 or even 20 Pro Max comes out !! 🤣 Honestly though - I've seen NOTHING that anyone has identified that makes any reason to jump on this latest model anyway. And all the unwanted bandwagoneering AI b.s. that is coming will work (and need disabling !!) on my 15 Pro Max too !
I am enjoying my 16 Pro Max’s bigger screen size and battery. Definitely gets me through the day with no issues. Also enjoying my black Apple Watch Ultra 2. I actually have the Torras stand case on my phone as we speak.
Jeez, nobody should change anything if they’ve ever said anything in the distant past that might be contrary to the current moment. Steve Jobs hated the stylus but the iPad has had several of them. He wanted the iPhone to remain small enough to reach any corner of the screen, but that ship sailed long ago. This pearl clutching every time Apple does anything different is tiresome.
@@thejasontlewis dude, it’s a joke. I used BlackBerry and Android back in the day and use both Android and iPhone now. It’s also hilarious when Samsung criticizes Apple one day and does the same thing themselves later.
Jason, love this review. I would add to your list, better battery life. I really love my 16 Pro, coming from a. 15 Pro. Glad there is someone willing to talk about the great things these phones bring and not just get down on Apple for software that isn't here yet but is soon to released.
There is nothing pro about being throttled to 80 HZ 95% of the time just to preserve battery. As an Apple fan, I had to switch to a pixel this year because I just can't take it anymore. 4 years of being throttled to 80 HZ after being marketed a 120 hertz device. It's been going on for 4 years since the 13 pro and none of you UA-camrs talk about this. The pro series just feels like a budget device due to this. No one freaking paid for 80 HZ. and if they feel like this is the right way to do things, we at least need an option for true 120hz for those that don't like being shafted. My iPad pro from 2018 runs circles around any pro that has been released since the 13. You UA-camrs are part of the problem for pretending the issue doesn't even exist or "its ok i dont notice it!!" Wtf. Are you guys being paid by Apple or something? It's like all your youtubers are reading from a script or something. It's insane. What a disappointment 😔
i appreciate your opinion. my feelings… first year not upgrading since the release of the iphone. camera button is a waste. not the vision of steve jobs. should have delayed launch, incomplete product. incremental change from last year
let’s say you have a 13 pro and then get 16 pro would that mean the pictures on instagram come out better with the 16 pro? Or would the differences be negligible?( I don’t use zoom & don’t mind post processing in lightroom) I’ve checked the iPhone 15 pro vs 13 pro and theirs no noticeable difference in the main sensor ; although 15 pro is 48 megapixel the 13 pro has f1.5 apeture which is better than 15 pro’s f1.8 . I only use the main sensor so pls share your thoughts I don’t want to waste money
IPhone 16 for creator, good information. What is the workflow for a musician to film and record a performance. Do I need to film in RAW (with an external hard drive) ? Is the mic on the iPhone good enough?
I hope one of the reasons isn’t because of its claims of having WiFi7, which is a spec with parameters those adopting it abides by. One of those parameters is 320mhz channel width which the 16 seem to have crippled resulting in the claims of WiFi7 only performing at the speed os WiFi6E.
Went to the Apple Store looked at the iPhone 6 Pro. Max did not like it as soon as I picked it up did not like it. It’s light feels like just a piece of light plastic which I don’t like. I have the iPhone 14 Pro Max it feels like very heavy, which I like and I like that it feels like glass. This feels like I just a piece of plastic so I decided not to buy theiPhone Pro Max and if all the other phones are gonna start being like that, I’m going to Samsung or Tesla
If you have small hands get the pro if you have big hands like me get a pro max it’s not that hard they both the same device just think which size you want.
While yes it is better than the 16 pro, no you should not buy it. I’ve had it since it came out and it has been a nightmare. Falling apart at the seams.
Thank you for your unique perspective though rather than specs comparison which is really useless given the fact that a new iPhone is alway better, pro model is alway better. The conclusion would alway be the same - a boring review video.
Phones like washing machines now… boring lol. If it works well enough for what you need why bother getting a new one. You wouldn’t replace your washing machine every year for a new model. New one might wash a bit quicker but really who gives a f**k

I’m usually someone who upgrades every year but this year I’m passing on the 16 and waiting til the 17’s next year 👍🏻 I love my blue titanium 15 pro 😍
I need to upgrade every year just so I can say I do it lol
I went to my Apple Store and got my iPhone 13 Pro Max battery replaced. Problem solved. New phone and 1200£ still in the bank…
You got the best model of the pro max

It really is crazy how much you can do with these phones. Fully power a UA-cam channel with your phone and have good quality is crazy!
I know. It’s kinda mind boggling.

Love my 16 pro max. Still trying to see if battery can last 2 days on it.
I’ve lasted 2 days on my 16 pro max
@@freddiemccoy405 no use?
I’ve gotten close.
@@thejasontlewis better than when you got the 13 pro maxnew?Or about same
Who else there 15 pro max batteries sucks now on iOS 18 and when iPhone 16 cam out I also noticed battery life went fast as well ? lol
Would be interesting if you can do an in-depth video on how to work with the camera and also that new function with the microphones etc
I also purchased the 16 Pro Max (from a Iphone 13) and a Torras case and I'm loving it!
I love my unfinished iPhone 16 Pro 512GB Black
There’s no reason to change de 15 Pro Max for the 16 Pro Max
For you maybe. Which is ok, for you. Let others do as they wish.

wow they finally got the front camera right 😂
Are you going caseless and no screen protector this year too ?
I will eventually. A case company reached out and wanted me to try their products
I find it hilarious that Apple made fun of Blackberry for having a camera button, and now Apple added a camera button to the iPhone 😂

I’m surprised battery life wasn’t a factor I have heard and I’m anticipating the iPhone 6 pro max will have much improved battery over the 15 promax
Thanks for the positive review, but the audio not as good as usual
Thanks, but that’s not really the point It’s more what the iPhone can do now compared to before.
I enjoy watching your take on Apple products. I’ve been watching you since I believe your iPhone XR review 🤔
Thanks!

It can be. You have to learn to use it through trial and error just like anything. For audio you shouldn’t have to record to an external drive.
I hope one of the reasons isn’t because of its claims of having WiFi7, which is a spec with parameters those adopting it abides by. One of those parameters is 320mhz channel width which the 16 seem to have crippled resulting in the claims of WiFi7 only performing at the speed os WiFi6E.
Say what now?
Jason is the MAN ❤
I'm excited because Apple intelligence is also coming to iphone 15pro and 15pro max..
Fanboy with no evaluation.. everything awesome. The 16 will be junk when the 17 arrives.
Boo. You weren’t paying attention

Still figuring out if I should get the pro max or Pro ugh!
If you have small hands get the pro if you have big hands like me get a pro max it’s not that hard they both the same device just think which size you want.
I always go for the Pro Max. Even though the Pro is bigger this year, the extra size and battery are worth it to me.
No need at all to upgrade my 15 pro.
Nice video.👍🏻 iPhone are ok. but I love my Samsung galaxy s24 ultra.
That’s a really nice phone too.
Love your reviews and opinions as always but my 15 pro max is still purty I don’t think I need to get it
Thanks!
While yes it is better than the 16 pro, no you should not buy it. I’ve had it since it came out and it has been a nightmare. Falling apart at the seams.
My 12 is still good. No need to upgrade.

There are more than a handful of features that make this phone better for me than previous iPhones.
iPhone screens are never good. That’s the first lie
Man, if you can't say anything nice...
