Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max Desert Titanium Unboxing & First Impressions! In this video, I showcase and give you my first impressions on the all-new iPhone 16 Pro Max before my reviews, share your thoughts, questions, comments, and what you would like to see or know about going forward! Enjoy the episode! 😀🎥📱🔥
I'm realizing that I prefer the unboxing videos that happen the day of the launch, not 2 days before with review units from Apple. It makes it feel more like you're one of "us" instead of "soft promoting" Apple (not sure if this makes sense). Great informative video.
Thank you for your feedback, I never got any iPhones for the channel since the beginning, I order and go pick them up like any other person. I am glad that makes it more informative, it definitely is more my true experience and not a paid review.
This Desert Titanium color is my single-most favorite from the 16 Pro/Max series. It’s a cross between Gold, Rose Gold and Titanium in the best way possible.
@@LavKarri Actually, it’s not gold bro.. I am holding the desert titanium in my hand right now and I think I made a mistake cause it’s very rose goldy and less gold. :( Looks kinda light pink from some angles.
This guy’s opinions are always top drawer. I always agree with all of his opinions. His perspective is always uniquely correct, and this is rare to see, I find.
The 11PM had the BEST gold color in my opinion. That phone brought me into the apple eco system! I'm upgrading from 14PM to 16Pro, looking forward to the smaller form factor with all the camera goodness. Love your videos, Nick!
I wasn't going to do it but I think 12 pro max upgrading to the 16 pro max is a great jump. I was going to save money with the 15 pro but, it seems like this is a great option for me with the mic
@@nickackermanchannel if you’re coming from an iPhone 15 pro Max yet it’s not a big upgrade at all but I think it’s a big enough upgrade if you’re coming from the 14th pro Max or 13 pro Max, particularly for Battery Life in the case of the 14 pro Max which had the worst Battery Life on any iPhone for a long time but anyway great unboxing I like this is the second time I’m watching your unboxing video. This is how much I’m obsessed with my 16 pro Max at the moment.
Unfortunately i was at work today. But tomorrow i will buy 16PM 256gb (cuz i don't need more) in desert titanium. It will be my first apple device, so excited 😊
I got just finished setting up my iPhone 16 Pro max in desert titanium. I love it. I love the big display and the thinner bezel. I had the 14 Pro max in black great phone. I was just able to upgrade this year merry Christmas. Everyone take care.🎄♥️
I’m still happy with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is barely an upgrade. Not a bad phone, though. It’s only a huge upgrade for someone who has an iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Love the look of the new iPhone 16 Pro Max with it’s razor thin bezels😊 will stick with the 15 Pro Max for at least another year since I love this phone already👍
One thing I'll never understand is how some people are HAPPY about getting almost NOTHING in the unboxing experience nowadays because they want to claim it's "better for the environment" meanwhile we're spending $1,200-$1,500 on a phone where all you get is the phone and a single small cable. Meanwhile people buying stuff that cost $50-$100 are getting far more in their unboxing's then we are...I'm just saying, why should the people paying PREMIUM PRICES for things be given a SUBSTANDARD EXPERIENCE?
Treated myself to the 15 plus today for cost reasons. Absolutely love it. And the 60hz display seems smoother than the 120hz on my android. Thanks for the videos.
Nice device and it’s probably not the 60hz but the iOS operating system that is more fluid and consistent! Glad you’re loving it! It’s a nice option for sure
I think if Apple ever decides to make a dual screen iPhone it will be a case-like magnetic attachment. Kind of like the Magic Keyboard for the iPad. The iPhone logo will be on the outside of the attachment and the screen will be on the other side. It would make it twice as expensive, as other competitors and it would be an optional accessory.
Hi Nick I will get my desert titanium iPhone 16 pro Max hopefully tomorrow I'm super excited I'm upgrading from my regular iPhone 13 no problem or pro Max just the 13 lol so huge upgrade to the 16 pro max
So you can have UA-cam open (watching a video with sound) and open music (Apple music with sound) with both sounding at the same time? Without one canceling the other out?
Debating whether I should get a battery replacement on my 13PM or the 16PM. The usb c, brighter display, better battery life and faster charging is tempting. Looking forward to more third party battery tests
Ive been an Android user since getting my first smartphone dating back to like version 2. I ordered the iPhone 16 Pro Max last week. Itll be my first time ever using an iPhone. Im hoping it'll be a pleasant change/transition. The only thing im mildly concerned about is the size. 6.9 inches is hige fir a smartphone.
@@miamora01 ya u ass hole this is gold have 12pro and like 13pro apple said this is new colour and I sheep huuu wow thats look so beautiful fantastic colour
Hey Nick, I wanted to add to your comment on the new iOS 18 Wallpapers. I like the dynamic wallpaper option. That's what I have set on my 15 Pro Max. Makes it more like the Mac, where it changes through the day automatically. I'll probably do the iPhone 17, or 18 as I just got this 15 Pro Max Dec 2023 and I do a 2 year payment plan with Verizon. Plus I find the longer I wait between upgrades, the more changes I get for the money.
I'm going to upgrade from my 13 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max because of the newer lighter design, the Dynamic Island, the better battery life, & the better cameras & mics which will help me as an independent car content creator since I use my iPhone as my primary camera & editing device for my Reels, UA-cam Shorts, & TikToks. I regret not getting the 15 Pro Max in blue titanium last year or earlier this year so I'm going to upgrade to the 16 Pro Max with the trade-in deal I'm getting through AT&T
@@StorkyAU battery life is fantastic. This device is a lot lighter than my 14 pro max and it’s noticeable. The screen size is great and doesn’t feel much different to hold than my 14 pro max
Glad I upgraded from the 13pm for some reason most people are saying the 16pm is heavy and I’m like what the heck no where near heavy compared to this 13pm the 16 is comfortable in my hand plus I use reachable on top of my Siri and the way this battery last me longer than my 13 idc about upgrading I will just replace the battery when the time is right because I love this phone
@ yes for some reason holding the 13pm and 16pm the 13 definitely feels heavier I’m glad I still got it because people were saying the opposite so I was skeptical but if you have a 13 or12 you will definitely love the 16pm
UsbC port, USB3 speeds, wifi7, Bluetooth 5.3, slightly bigger screen, nicer display, Dynamic Island, new battery, camera & action button, A18 Pro chip built for Apple AI (when it’s released later this year), better performance, slightly better camera’s (as usual) just to name a few.
Yeah that has not been a thing for iphones for several years now. They say its for "environmental" purposes I say it's to ever slightly increase their bottom line. Like how Sony now also sells components for their PS console that used to come with the thing (disc drive, stand).
The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models are the tallest phones compared to iPhone in my opinion. The boxy design makes the Samsung galaxy S24 Ultra look taller than the iPhone 16 Pro Max
I have a 16 pro max and the camera button just feels to gimmicky and to be honest I have not really seen the point of. It being placed there .. I upgraded from a 15 pro max .

lol
For a guy it kinda looks pink.. :/
The desert titanium colour is amazing. It’s by far my favourite colours from the pro models that’s for sure, love it on my 16 pro Max.
Apple casually insulting the Intelligence of its customers by re-introducing the Gold as 'Desert Titanium'..
@@LavKarri Actually, it’s not gold bro.. I am holding the desert titanium in my hand right now and I think I made a mistake cause it’s very rose goldy and less gold. :( Looks kinda light pink from some angles.
You're implying apple users are intelligent 😂 iPhones are literally built for retards. They're super simple to use, dumbed down phones. 🐶 💩 Phones

Thank you for your feedback! Appreciate your words! Have a good weekend!
The 11PM had the BEST gold color in my opinion. That phone brought me into the apple eco system! I'm upgrading from 14PM to 16Pro, looking forward to the smaller form factor with all the camera goodness. Love your videos, Nick!
I wasn't going to do it but I think 12 pro max upgrading to the 16 pro max is a great jump. I was going to save money with the 15 pro but, it seems like this is a great option for me with the mic
Sure is, I will be comparing those two soon as well!

I love your videos Nick and today is my birthday,thanks for the video!❤
Happy birthday!

I love when nick says Groupon 😂❤
Thought I was the only one
Lol
I’m skipping the 16’s this year and waiting for the 17 👍🏻 thanks for the great unboxing video 🔥
Not a problem, it's not a must upgrade, 17 will be more radical differences!
@@Paradiiiice nooooooo!!!!
You mean you waiting for next year to buy the same thing 😂😂😂😂😂 am throwing my phone 12 away after away soon.

My 16 pro max is arriving today, very excited!
Awesome! This phone is a beast! Enjoy!
@@tannerlythgoe4983 which color did you order? I can't decide which one I should get 🤣
@@nickackermanchannel Do you think it is worth upgrading from the 14 Pro Max model?
@@nematjafari6143 no.
@@nematjafari6143I mean if u want all AI features then yes it’s worth upgrading if u don’t want it then its not worth upgrading

Enjoy man, and yeah the employee at the Apple store told me it gets packed after people get off work! Enjoy your new beast!
And what was your reason to switch to Apple? I'm curious

There we go... one of my loved Pro color!
Such a great color!
If you have anything from the 13 pro max upwards, you don't need to upgrade realistically.
From the looks of it, the bezels looks surreal
It definitely is my favourite design, Apple crushed the bezel game
Got my 16 Pro Max today. Coming from the 14 Pro Max, the size increase is a bit much. Strongly considering returning it for the regular 16 Pro.
It is a HUGE phone! I don’t blame you
Just received it in the mail, this exact one, 256GB coming from a 12 Pro Max, in love so far!!
Great job as always. I have the 14 pro max , I think I’ll wait for the 17 pro max.
@@ericpulliam2134 right. It’s like if you didn’t get the 15, might as well wait another year.
You're the one person I go to when I need to see how a phone feels like and how fast it is
Ty Nick
Glad you come to check out the vids! More speed and seeing how fast the device is coming this weekend!
Yep that’s what I felt too. The unboxing and review is quick
Great video probably going to wait until the 17 pro as I am waiting for a all screen design
Can't wait for that!
I’m still happy with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is barely an upgrade. Not a bad phone, though. It’s only a huge upgrade for someone who has an iPhone 13 Pro Max.
I got mine today and can’t wait to try it out ❤
Hi Nick, which looks better the dessert titanium or black titanium? Thanks.
Wow, this is INSANE. I like your videos. Keep going!👍🏻
Love the look of the new iPhone 16 Pro Max with it’s razor thin bezels😊 will stick with the 15 Pro Max for at least another year since I love this phone already👍
Those bezels are super nice I agree I just put a case on and they disappeared completely! Stunning panel
I really wish that camera control was a SIM card slot instead.
I miss the sim 😔
SIM outside the USA
Me too

Great review!!!😮😊
Treated myself to the 15 plus today for cost reasons. Absolutely love it. And the 60hz display seems smoother than the 120hz on my android. Thanks for the videos.
Nice device and it’s probably not the 60hz but the iOS operating system that is more fluid and consistent! Glad you’re loving it! It’s a nice option for sure
I'm going for the 14 plus
Great unboxing keep it up as always bro
Thanks bro! Appreciate you
I was able to grab my desert titanium 16 pro max tb early today with no problem love every bit of it
Congrats Bro❤❤❤❤❤
Another banger Nick! ❤❤
I am a fan since 1 se videos bro!
Thank you so much for comparing it to the 11 Pro Max!! I have one and planning on upgrading soon. ❤
Nice unboxing! Subscribed
Is it bigger screen like 12 pro max? I love big screens
Awesome unboxing can’t wait for mine!!! Getting it Monday Verizon was projecting oct11 so happy!!!!!
Nice review mate 😄
Keep it up 👍
Heey Nick this is such a great video .....
RIP Apple sticker lol
Those were the days!
next year RIP THE CABLE

I get mine today and i am hyped to go back to apple after using the s24 ultra for almost a year. 256gb white titanium. Always loved the white iphone.
Mine coming in the mail today it’s out on delivery
Time to say goodbye to my 11… i think it’s a decent upgrade 😂
It is for sure. I’m the same way. On the xs max. Gonna love the upgrade in every way possible.
does it have a pre installed screen protector?
Great one ❤
My iPhone 16 pro max is coming Monday I’m so excited
Is it worth upgrading from iphone 15 pro considering the better battery and bigger screen?
It looks stunning 🤩
Hi Nick I will get my desert titanium iPhone 16 pro Max hopefully tomorrow I'm super excited I'm upgrading from my regular iPhone 13 no problem or pro Max just the 13 lol so huge upgrade to the 16 pro max
Get mine next week can’t wait
Typing this from the same exact phone in the same color. Love it
Looks so nice 😍
Nice phone. That gold is 🔥
One thing that I like is that now we record a video with music or any UA-cam video playing in the background! Sick
So you can have UA-cam open (watching a video with sound) and open music (Apple music with sound) with both sounding at the same time? Without one canceling the other out?
I went to Apple Store and saw it myself , not gonna upgrade and desert titanium is overhyped it doesn’t look good in real life
Just got my mother a desert titanium iPhone 16 pro max, an upgrade from her 13 pro
What will you choose iPhone 16 pro or Samsung s24 Ultra
Nick please compare bezel thickness to previous iphones
Sadly waiting till the 11th for mine since I wanted the black PM. Very, very excited! Upgrading from an 11 so I’m getting quite a bit new features
First!!✨🔥🔥
I‘m waiting for your unboxing
Do you think it is worth upgrading from the 14 Pro Max model?
@@nematjafari6143 not at all
Wait for the 17 Pro max

I can’t buy but still watching 😊
Not upgrading my 15 Pro Max this year if I want camera controls I’ll set the action button to camera 😂
Yup that works too
Not the same thing but you do you
It has 2 hours more battery than 15 pro max but the dynamic island i dont like
If you have a 13 pro max what are the things to consider if you want to upgrade to 16 pro max? Either to stay on 13 pro max or upgrade to 16 pro max

The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models are the tallest phones compared to iPhone in my opinion. The boxy design makes the Samsung galaxy S24 Ultra look taller than the iPhone 16 Pro Max
sounds more like a fact than an opinion lol
S24 Ultra has less display area than 16 PM although it has more display area than the Pixel 9 Pro XL which is also 6.8
Hi Nick how r u ❤
Looking forward to speed test vs 15 Pro Max
It's coming soon!
It bothers me that the cameras stick out when playing games. Why don't they do it inside the phone.
I remember when you used to say *letsssss gooo*
I have a 16 pro max and the camera button just feels to gimmicky and to be honest I have not really seen the point of. It being placed there .. I upgraded from a 15 pro max .
