I'm an android user myself, I have felt tempted to upgrade to an iPhone more than once, but if I really think about it, it really doesn't have anything I need in it, so once I upgrade it'll be from the galaxy s20+ to the pixel 9 pro or s25+
Don't see much difference from the iPhone 15 to 16, idk. The 15 has been a great phone to me, I have it with a leather case from Vionentus, and haven't been damaged or anything, the camera has been good, the battery too, also I use it for work so, I keep watching this kinda of vids to see if upgrade it
I had iPhone 15 pro max and now i am using iPhone 16 standard, I know sounds stupid to some people, but my main reason for getting iPhone 16 is the size and weight, iPhone 15 PM was big phone and heavy weight and overtime I did notice that, I don’t really care about the PRO features and 60 hertz not that bad with me. Everyone has own personal preference.
I had the 13 Pro Max, and sold it and got the 14 Plus. I need the bigger screen (yeah, eyes are also getting older and mine are 57 now) and don’t see any difference, ever! The Plus is really the way to go, if you want an always working phone, really good fotos and little movies and doing most Social Media stuff and consumption. With Air Pods Pro, Apple Watch 8 45mm, iPad Air M1 and two Apple TV 4K I am sorted for the time being. I have had Apple Music since my iBook G4 days (as in iTunes) early 2000s and have the Apple TVs connected with Yamaha RV receiver and really good loud speakers and the music sounds fantastic. Let the kiddies flex their ‚coolness‘ with the Pros. I am very happy with my eco system.
PCs were peaking 10-15 years ago. In the 90s and early 2000s, each upgrade you did every year was exciting, as it brought big improvements. As a 90s kid, I HAD TO upgrade my PC every year. It was pretty much mandatory, the difference was so big, and a 2 year old PC was really obsolete. But in the 2010s and today, using a 10 year old PC causes no issues whatsoever. Laptops followed shortly after. The same thing is happening with smartphones. In the 10 years after iPhone was released, every year brough exciting upgrades on all platforms. Phones became much faster, look much nicer, have much better screen, etc... But they peaked ~5 years ago. Their screen is near perfect, they perform all task instantaneously, so there is nothing really to improve. I often accidentally grab my 5yo Xs instead of 15 Pro, and only notice when I try to call someone and there is no service on it:D
iPhone 12 'completed' the phone IMO. You got ceramic shield which stopped the phones breaking like they used to. The chassis was solid unlike earlier phones (think iPhone 6 bendgate). The battery life lasted all day for the average user (you could choose the 12 Pro Max if you wanted more) and the cameras pretty much maxed out the capability of 12MP shots (which was absolutely fine for detail unless you wanted to zoom super close). Face ID for security (Touch ID as well would've been nice, but meh). A14 Performance which was plenty and they were all IP68 Waterproof. Since then, all of the updates have been iterative, and unless some breakthrough AI feature comes along which people can't live without, I can't see the need for anything more. Edit: AND there was a screen size for everyone!
your must be the most average of average persons then to not realise how different an iphone 15 pro looks to a xs . but i do agree with your point overall but theres the simple fact of software support that forces people to upgrade since they wont be able to use apps without it . this means you can only really use an of somewhat over 6 years before you encounter issues by then the phone will feel slow bad battery life gets hot quickly .
@@juzoli dont get me wrong i do agree most people will be fine with older slower phone i personally just bought an iPhone 13pm upgraded from xs max because it was slow and hot and losing support from apple .
iPhone 16 Plus paired with the iPad Pro M4 is a perfect match! Coming from the iPhone 12 Pro Max, I’m really enjoying the iPhone 16 Plus. I don’t play games on it, and I’m not out here trying to be a photographer with my phone. Buy what you need, not what’s popular.
@@jab-gn3sw 😂 i have the phone, it lasts longer than a day and charges to 90% in around an hour if you utilize the 45w max wired charging, stop talking nonsense
You review these phones for real, I respect your work so much these days now that I am aware many tech channels have turned into influencer ad channels.
I am thinking about the standard 16, I have been running the iPhone 11 since launch, and aside from the need to replace the battery (which I will do so it can become a hand-me-down to youngest child) it's still actually a perfectly good phone.
I have the 12 but looking to upgrade. I’m hesitataing between the 16 and 16+ but your video answered my questions so will get the 16+. Thank you mate! Appreciate that! Subbed! Cheers! 😎😊
@@Just_Me-p9w 60Hz is even less important on a small screen that fills less of your view too. It's just something for Android people to complain about. If Apple upgrades the base iPhones to 120Hz they'll just move on to something else.
Mate , I have a 12 pro 60 hz and a 14 pro max 120 hz , an old galaxy note 60 hz , 60 hz is really a nothing burger , I’m happy to use any one of them that is close to hand regardless of screen hz. And I might add even with 60 hz , iPhones are still very smooth overall.
Obviously the iPhone 16 is a great phone but I think it is not meeting the technological requirements and the materials it is made of make me think about using a good case for its protection.
I didn't understand that decision regarding the materials and I recently saw the Elite cases from Vionentus with the particularity that they are made of leather, something that caught my attention because I think Apple is withdrawing its own from the market.
This is by far best review of 16 and 16 pro and any iPhone in general that I have ever seen. You hit the nail on the head with size, weight and some other comparisson. 10/10 you got a new sub
Watched many 16 plus videos. Yours really is the most complete one. Thank you so much for your hard work. It has confirmed that the 16 plus is the one I’ll get when I change phones.
When you list everything out, the Pros sound like they deserve that title. But the regular 16 is better value overall, especially if you aren’t a “pro” creator needed camera related things.
Keeping my 14 Pro and replacing the battery after the new year. It’s still lightning fast and has everything I want/need in a phone. Plus it’s the Deep Purple model lol.
The base models are good this year; the only difference between them and the pros is like 120hz, better camera/more zoom, and 30 percent smaller bezels. I'm getting the white 16 plus, so hopefully it's good because I have a Samsung.
Upgrades to the 16 pro Max from the 14 pro Max and i am super happy. The smaller bezels and the rounded Frame are really noticable BUT the Phone feels soooo much lighter. What a surprise.
I have this exact iphone 16 256gb ultramarine. This is my best of all phone I ever have! 60hz on this iphone is very smooth than my Oneplus Nord CE3 120hz. Iphone is really different. For the price, it should be 120hz, but for its 60hz, I can’t complain because again I feel much more smoother and fluidity with this phone. I can’t believe I already have this phone which previously I cannot afford I only watch those famous youtuber but now Im very happy I have it. 😊😊😊
@AbegsCatipon nice! I was thinking getting the 15 plus because of the reviews of the battery being awesome. Is the 16 plus battery awesome too? Im a moderate user
@@marielle3929 16 plus is the current monster battery in iphone line up. It’s also has all features of a18 including Apple intelligence compared to 15 plus.
I went from iPhone 13 to 16 pro. The 5x optical zoom was the pretty much the only reason and slightly better battery. If you like photography then it’s a game changer.
I upgraded from Xs to 15Pro last year. Camera is big difference, and of course the degraded battery life. But sometimes I still pick up the old one for some tasks (like youtube or browsing when I use my main phone for something else), and barely see the difference. Sometimes I accidentally pick up the old one and don’t immediately notice.
@@amjrdc25 Thanks, the Plus in 128GB with the additional battery life might be the option to go for. Apple are even prepared to offer £80 trade in for a 5 year old XR.
@@amjrdc25 Thanks, might be worth going for the Plus model then for the improved battery life. Apple offering a decent trade in price even for a 6 year old XR.
Does 16 plus have a better battery that 15 plus ? I saw in another video that 15 plus lasted more that 13 hours while 16 plus lasted less than 9 . And that’s a huge difference
After 3 years I upgraded my phone to iPhone 16 Plus from iPhone 13 Pro. That older phone was insanely lovely and good. But changing my experience to a bigger screen and a bigger battery life was a good decision for me. I suggest to give a chance to iPhone 16 Plus if you really don't give a shit to 120hz. Did not take too long for me to get used to use a 60hz screen for my daily usage.
This video needs to be the gold standard/blue print for all product reviews. It's honest, well organized, detailed, and no influencer fluff. I'm currently using an iPhone 6 which I would happily keep using forever but Apple is no longer updating it, some apps are no longer supported and the battery is confused about its power level. So I'm looking to buy the latest iPhone. Your review will help me make an informed decision. Thank you :)
5 years worth and sadly none of them were enticing enough to upgrade from my 11 pro max which made me end up with an S23 and it felt more valuable in both software and hardware
How can you guys stand Android? The Sameung bloatware, inferior exynos chip, inconsistent update schedule and apps going nuts with data mining is crazy. Also the S series are just as boring in terms of design.
As someone who used the iPhone 3g as my daily back in the day (same chip and specs as the OG, just with 3G) it may have had a 60 hz display, but certainly couldn't handle running at a smooth 60 hz. For perspective, it only had a single core chip running at 412 mhz paired with 128 mb of ram. Don't get me wrong, it was still an incredible and smooth feeling experience for the time
Apple are under huge pressure here, because as soon as they add 120 to the base model, it will definitely affect the sales of the pros, unless your camera obsessed, you can have all the same power, daily use as the pro, just with one less camera. I have the 15pm in 1tb, and for me, I am giving the 16 a miss, I’m waiting for the 17 with 120!
I have the iPhone 12 mini I was a bit disappointed to see that Apple doesn’t do a mini option now but my 12 is barely holding a charge. I am looking forward to an upgrade and the 16 looks impressive. I’m hoping I can push myself to get more out of the camera. I’m still a point and click gal. 😂
If you have a 15, you don't need to upgrade. The 13 and 14 are fine too, but you do get USB-C, better cam, better battery, and Dynamic Island with the 16.
@@FerrerBarrdude said photos lol you think Apple somehow diminishes your photo quality to force you to buy a new phone? You’re deluded, the main comment is simply suffering from a case being used to what is new. He’s used to seeing everything after the 12 from then till now so obviously it won’t look as great because you are seeing the better version constantly so he thinks it doesn’t look good. My 12 pro max still looks great camera wise as it did when it came out. My 16 pro max is simply a better camera and it shows. Which is a sign of improvement
ALSO if you’re torn between buying let’s say the 16+ or the regular pro, it’s only a $70 difference as long as you choose the same storage option. So if you do 256gb for both models it’s only a $70 difference for all those extra “pro” features.
I think the 16 is a significant upgrade for non-pro iPhones. 2 gen jump in processor, better battery, 2GB extra ram, better camera, action & camera buttons. It's a S year for Pro users for sure.
I have a 16 plus in Ultramarine at the 512gb storage option and I’m confident this will last me years. I’m not much of a pro user, just a heavy consumer of media, occasionally gaming , and casual photos (but a lot). So the 16 plus is perfect for me. I came from the 14 plus, dynamic island, action button, usb-c were all appreciated.
I wish I watched this video before. I was confused between 16 and 16 plus, because I love Teal color. And then I thought of giving 16 a shot. And now I’m watching this wishing I purchased the 16 plus 😭
As someone who’s been obsessed with watching reviews of the new iPhones recently, this is the best one I’ve seen so far! So many helpful comparisons and details that other creators didn’t touch on. Thank you! 📱🍎
👍11 Pro to 16 / 16Pro???👍 I agree I hate getting new phones. I have a small business and it’s a hassle. I have the 11 Pro (my 1st iPhone). I like it. But iPhone incremental generation improvements left me in no hurry. It’s about time to upgrade and I am glad I waited I am leaning towards the 16 512gb (non pro). I only want the Pro to get the 1TB really.
Hear me out. I’m currently on iphone 7 and it has been good until today. The only thing that made me want to upgrade is because one of my fav app is not updating anymore. 😂 And I need solid reasons and help for me to choose. This review is such a great help!thank u!!!
Will be upgrading from 12 Pro to 16 Plus. That bigger screen and the battery life is such a good plus. Is 120 Hz nice? Yes, it is. But I can live without it. I value battery life and performance over that. I just hope Apple maybe bumps it up to 75 or 90 Hz screens. That will come in handy. But there is one very important thing people are not discussing - PWM. I have noticed as a rule of thumb that every new gen has been improved. I struggled a lot on earlier OLED screens.
Always love your in depth and honest opinions and assessments of your reviews. Thanks a bunch for this post cos now I know which one to get. But did you all noticed in your camera comparison test the iPhone 12 which was a 2020 phone has equally a good photo quality as the new 16. Not bad for iPhone 12, Apple’s first generation 5G phone.
Funny, for the very first time I actually consider an iPhone because of the base 16's design. They remind me of the 12, which is the first ever iPhone I got interested in, although I never got it. I understand mobile phones are doing just about anything now, but I was never sold past the fact that its just a tool. I rarely play games on most of my phones; maybe I use my camera more on my outdoor adventures when I spot something cool. Besides that, less of media and rarely social media. So the cleaner design of the base 16s' appeals to me more.
Brilliant review. Now going to place my order for the 16 plus, decision between that or the 16 helped so much by your review, thanks. Just discovered Amazon it’s £20 off on Thanksgiving day.
Thank you for making this video, a excellent review, the only things that let iPhone 16 and Plus down, is 60Hz, making it the most expensive 60Hz on the market. Plus fast charging, and should have 1 or 2 more pro features too.
I’m honestly ready for next year’s iPhone and watch since I didn’t upgrade this year. I’m hoping to see something truly exciting compared this year’s editions.

how do you mean? I’m about to get rid of my 15 Pro Max for an S24 Ultra. Probably get the S25 shortly too.
How can you guys stand Android? The Sameung bloatware, inferior exynos chip, inconsistent update schedule and apps going nuts with data mining is crazy. Also the S series are just as boring in terms of design.
@@Nothing-4u2 what ?
@@Nothing-4u2 exynos? Lol that’s a thing of the past.
are you living in a cave? @@Nothing-4u2
please do for the pro series as well!!!
He won’t because the tech chap hates the Pro models iPhones.
@@Adamtendo_player_1oh please do the pro models 2 pretty please 😂😂
9:53 This camera pan with all the various iPhone colors is my favourite part of this whole video lol
As someone who used the iPhone 3g as my daily back in the day (same chip and specs as the OG, just with 3G) it may have had a 60 hz display, but certainly couldn't handle running at a smooth 60 hz.
For perspective, it only had a single core chip running at 412 mhz paired with 128 mb of ram.
Don't get me wrong, it was still an incredible and smooth feeling experience for the time
Apple are under huge pressure here, because as soon as they add 120 to the base model, it will definitely affect the sales of the pros, unless your camera obsessed, you can have all the same power, daily use as the pro, just with one less camera. I have the 15pm in 1tb, and for me, I am giving the 16 a miss, I’m waiting for the 17 with 120!
Thanks Thomas...
You've help me alot on deciding which one to get...
So 16 plus we go💪💪💪
I have the iPhone 12 mini
I was a bit disappointed to see that Apple doesn’t do a mini option now but my 12 is barely holding a charge.
I am looking forward to an upgrade and the 16 looks impressive. I’m hoping I can push myself to get more out of the camera. I’m still a point and click gal. 😂
If you have a 15, you don't need to upgrade.
The 13 and 14 are fine too, but you do get USB-C, better cam, better battery, and Dynamic Island with the 16.
why were iP12 photos so good 5 years ago, but not nearly so today? good review
Because Apple downgrades it year after year so you can pay for the latest model
@@FerrerBarrtalking rubbish
@@FerrerBarrdude said photos lol you think Apple somehow diminishes your photo quality to force you to buy a new phone? You’re deluded, the main comment is simply suffering from a case being used to what is new. He’s used to seeing everything after the 12 from then till now so obviously it won’t look as great because you are seeing the better version constantly so he thinks it doesn’t look good.
My 12 pro max still looks great camera wise as it did when it came out. My 16 pro max is simply a better camera and it shows. Which is a sign of improvement
ALSO if you’re torn between buying let’s say the 16+ or the regular pro, it’s only a $70 difference as long as you choose the same storage option. So if you do 256gb for both models it’s only a $70 difference for all those extra “pro” features.
My Fav Tech Chap! , please review the Panels app, if its compatible with the 16s
can't afford it
LOL @@Thetechchap
@@Thetechchap 😂
@@Thetechchap even tech chap couldn't afford it.
my iphone 16 battery does not last that long, anything you recommend me doing, could it be a fault?
You forgot to mention that iPhone 16 base model now has macro photography.
All the UA-camrs are avoiding comparison of battery life between iPhone 15 plus and 16 series. I saw the same happen in @mrwhostheboss channel. 😐
Great info I’m upgrading from 8 plus 😮to a 16 or 16 plus looking at reviews 👍
Same here. The 8 Plus has been a good phone.
@ excellent phone no need to change but apple not updating, they should do a better trade in, but pigs are greedy
Informative and on point. 👍
I have an iPhone 11. I am going soon for the 16+. 🙂↕️
I think the 16 is a significant upgrade for non-pro iPhones. 2 gen jump in processor, better battery, 2GB extra ram, better camera, action & camera buttons. It's a S year for Pro users for sure.
i have the 11, i want an upgrade, do you reccomend 16 or 15pro?
16 أفضل لان الجهاز لايوجد حماوة والبطارية أقوى
15pro
@@rafedrafed8396u still get prod such as 120hertz usb 3 telephoto raw photos.
The regular iPhone 16 is a no brainer this time around (just wished it at least had a 90Hz refresh rate)
I have a 16 plus in Ultramarine at the 512gb storage option and I’m confident this will last me years. I’m not much of a pro user, just a heavy consumer of media, occasionally gaming , and casual photos (but a lot). So the 16 plus is perfect for me. I came from the 14 plus, dynamic island, action button, usb-c were all appreciated.
What’s the issue with 60hz?
Price
I wish I watched this video before. I was confused between 16 and 16 plus, because I love Teal color. And then I thought of giving 16 a shot. And now I’m watching this wishing I purchased the 16 plus 😭
Really Useful and fun to watch... Subscribe.
First time in your channel and I quickly subscribed! I love how you do the review compared to others.💖💖💖💖
As someone who’s been obsessed with watching reviews of the new iPhones recently, this is the best one I’ve seen so far! So many helpful comparisons and details that other creators didn’t touch on. Thank you! 📱🍎
Still love my iphone 14 plus❤🎉
Great video as always.
If youre on iPhone 12 or older, then its worth upgrading. Went from iPhone SE 2020 to 15 Pro. Big upgrade.
I'd say 13 or older
I would say 8 or older, the iPhone 11 is still good enough
👍11 Pro to 16 / 16Pro???👍
I agree I hate getting new phones. I have a small business and it’s a hassle. I have the 11 Pro (my 1st iPhone). I like it. But iPhone incremental generation improvements left me in no hurry. It’s about time to upgrade and I am glad I waited I am leaning towards the 16 512gb (non pro). I only want the Pro to get the 1TB really.

for other experience, how is the battery??
Great review, very helpful. And those swans! Amazing.
I love the photography styles , very Fujifilm, kodak 🤩
excellent review with details, videos, pics...it was easy to follow your assessments and testing
Hear me out. I’m currently on iphone 7 and it has been good until today. The only thing that made me want to upgrade is because one of my fav app is not updating anymore. 😂 And I need solid reasons and help for me to choose. This review is such a great help!thank u!!!
Which did you choose?
@West09035 16plus. Colours? Undecided yet 😅
Get white it is less likely to chip
After looking at a million videos this video helped me decide on the iPhone 16 plus 🎉
Will be upgrading from 12 Pro to 16 Plus. That bigger screen and the battery life is such a good plus. Is 120 Hz nice? Yes, it is. But I can live without it. I value battery life and performance over that. I just hope Apple maybe bumps it up to 75 or 90 Hz screens. That will come in handy. But there is one very important thing people are not discussing - PWM. I have noticed as a rule of thumb that every new gen has been improved. I struggled a lot on earlier OLED screens.
Likewise with the PWM. Had to skip IPhone X - IPhone 12 due to this. 13 Pro Max and now my current 15 Pro Max have been fine thankfully.
WHich iphone has better speakers? iphone 16 or the 16pro?
Very helpful indeed! Thank you!
Fantastic review of the generational differences.
16 Pro is the real deal from Apple period
I just ordered 16 promax!! Currently using 14 pro max
Is there any differences between night mode video shooting for the new 16 and 15pro ?
Thanks for going all the way back to the 12s in this video.
How much can you zoom in with camera for filming?
this video is perfect brother i really enjoyed it thank you keep up the good work
Great review! i love the part where you compared the audio mixers.
What's a "gwipe" and how does he use it with the phone?
I’ve noticed 16 plus heats up a bit if I use camera control too much
Wahhhh
Been waiting for this one
Always love your in depth and honest opinions and assessments of your reviews. Thanks a bunch for this post cos now I know which one to get. But did you all noticed in your camera comparison test the iPhone 12 which was a 2020 phone has equally a good photo quality as the new 16. Not bad for iPhone 12, Apple’s first generation 5G phone.
Your review's the best!
One of the best reviews so far, fast , easy, straight forward
Thank youuu, I will definitely get the 16 plus ♥♥♥
Great video does it outperform other flagships like the s24+ and pixel?????
Funny, for the very first time I actually consider an iPhone because of the base 16's design. They remind me of the 12, which is the first ever iPhone I got interested in, although I never got it. I understand mobile phones are doing just about anything now, but I was never sold past the fact that its just a tool. I rarely play games on most of my phones; maybe I use my camera more on my outdoor adventures when I spot something cool. Besides that, less of media and rarely social media. So the cleaner design of the base 16s' appeals to me more.
Brilliant review. Now going to place my order for the 16 plus, decision between that or the 16 helped so much by your review, thanks. Just discovered Amazon it’s £20 off on Thanksgiving day.
I’m still using the 13 pro max and its perfectly fine
I got the xr still should I upgrade to this one or Nah
Thank you for making this video, a excellent review, the only things that let iPhone 16 and Plus down, is 60Hz, making it the most expensive 60Hz on the market.
Plus fast charging, and should have 1 or 2 more pro features too.
I’m honestly ready for next year’s iPhone and watch since I didn’t upgrade this year. I’m hoping to see something truly exciting compared this year’s editions.
What camera are you using to shoot your video?
me?
Great video 😃the 16 is definitely worth the upgrade 😃 I LOVE mine :) I got the Ultra Marine 16 😃
Thanks for the comparison. Can the iphone 16 Plus shoot DNG format photos using third party apps like Adobe Lightroom or Moment?
I will buy my Iphone in the end off november on black friday ,I will save for sure ,and buy ahead my case and screen protecter .nice review
straight and clear, nice one 😊
