Getting so hyped to receive mine! This video just solidified my choice getting Desert Titanium. I was on the fence between that or White Titanium, and this one just looks so darn classy. Loving the lighting in this video too, as well as the desk! I’m planing on getting a leather case from Bellroy but might have to check out that clear case you mentioned as well to switch it up sometimes. Glad yours came in today vs Monday!
I just recently bought my first apple product in many years, I haven’t used an apple product since the iPhone 3G I am a proud android user and I love my s23 ultra but I bought an iPad 10th gen on a good deal and I am loving it so much I’m considering upgrading to an iPhone when my next upgrade is available. I stopped using the iPhone due to lack of customization but the simplicity of iOS and the seamless integration makes me want to switch back. I love your vids, keep up the awesome free content. Giving my best to you and the fam ❤
Also when I use to work for ups, drivers are told never to driver release iPhones and they need to bring them back to the building, if they leave it, they would and should get in trouble.
Got my Natural Titanium 16 Pro Max with Magenta Silicone case on Friday, looks so pretty 😍 Upgraded from my 14 Pro and the difference is so noticeable!
Love the unboxing as always! Did you end up ordering the Series 10 Apple Watch or is that the surprise Christmas gift this year? Also went 16 Pro Max in Natural Titanium and went with a Nomad Sport case
Nice video David, so are you still doing an annual iPhone upgrade program as if I am not mistaken, you had the iPhone 13 Pro Max then upgraded to the 14 Pro Max and had intention to get the 15 Pro Max but held off on it? Do you feel if Apple would have kept the "S" line, would this years had been the "S" line or was last years 15 line that as it wasn't a dramatic change over the 14 line. I will say the upgrades are cool for this year but not anything that is crazy, still a triple camera setup on the back, Dynamic Island is still the same size as it was over the last two generations and the fact that the Camera Control is on all 4 phones this year, outside of Pro Motion and the Telephoto as well as slightly bigger screens, the 16 Pro line wasn't mind-blowing to me. Also Apple Intelligence is coming to currently six iPhones. On the flip side, you look at an S22 Ultra-S24 Ultra, are there huge differences from appearance, I dont think so but Samsung has taken more of a risk for there Fold/Flip line. I will give Apple credit though, the color on the non Pro line this year look incredible. I wish Apple would have kept a blue color on the Pro line!
Upgraded from the 14 pro max for the same reaons you said. For the typical person, I understand if they don't want to upgrade. But for the tech nerds, we can appreciate the new updates. Also, Im being bold and going caseless this year for the first time (apple care is my case ---- I like the feel of the Titanium too much)
@@daviddifranco Yeah the bezel change is huge. Surprisingly, my favorite change might be the new titanium rails. I never was a fan of the stainless steel because it always gets dirty the second its outta the case. The titanium being matte is definately my taste, and the weight being lighter even tho the phone is bigger (and bigger battery)... im a fan lol
So do you use a screen protector at all? I usually do but opted to not for my 14 pro max and my screen is just fine. So not sure if I should on my 16 pro max or not.
Currently on the XR, great phone, shot quite a few music videos with it. The 16 looks like a great upgrade. The removal of Apple stickers is almost as disappointing as the removal of the glowing Apple logo in MacBooks.
My 16 PM also didn’t require a signature, thought that was odd as my 14 Pro did and I pre-signed as I lived in an apartment and it was on camera anyways. Got a notification at 2pm that UPS missed me and needed a signature, would come back Monday. Found a UPS a few blocks from home after work, he called the guy that does my area, I went to him and he gave it to me and had me sign. He said Apple requires a signature whether the shipping says it does or not.
@@daviddifranco definetly didn’t think I’d see it until Monday, but then happened to see a truck. We don’t have a customer center or whatever anymore where you can go get something if there’s someone there. Sounds like they are getting rid of those.
I ordered the desert titanium iPhone 16 pro Max only because I want to give my 15 promax to my nephew. He has an iPhone 7 plus that won't even stay on unless it's plugged into the wall. He needs a new phone
Even if a signature isn't required leaving the package is still driver discretion. Most drivers know those are new iPhones and won't just leave them on the porch.
They’ve left them out before. If a signature is required, then tell the customer a signature is required. People plan their days around this sort of thing.
@@daviddifranco the only time signature required shows on the tracking is when the shipper request it. Even if the shipper doesn’t it’s still driver discretion whether they leave it without someone there or not.
"Could not get past" So you're saying your tiny ass brain could not figure out how to fast forward a video in 2024? Damn dude, you sound so intelligent.
yay you go you phone enjoy you make me smile all the time I just can't stop smile at you are a nice sweet boy I like you on UA-cam you are great I like you and you mom and dad and your cats you are the best 💜
Mine was to supposed to deliver to me never received it and checked ups someone else got it cross town like MY SIGNATURE HELLO they sent me another one but crazy they so trash UPS
@@daviddifranco I have the iPhone 14 max pro after you had yours for a bit is it worth the upgrade? Or should I wait lol I did watch the whole video but figured I’d ask since you have had it most of today
I guess UPS just wanted to personally hand to you and not leave it in front your door incase of any porch raiders (which are on the rise). And I’m sticking to my 14 pro max, I’m hoping for a significant refresh for the 17 pro max
Woohoo!! I am glad that you received it and that you were right, which I had a feeling that you were. Enjoy the new phone and its unique and beautiful color. I have to say; the capture button intrigues me very much with every demonstration I see of it!

He really made this vid last 10 minutes lol
Hell yeah I did! It's tradition. Anyone can unbox an iPhone.
@@daviddifranco true dat haha

Right?! The smaller bezels are REALLY nice!
@@daviddifranco I know right?! Great video btw, keep up the great work 😁👍🏻
Hey David, congrats on getting the iPhone 16 pro max! I recently upgraded from a iPhone 11 to a iPhone 15 and I am loving it!
Thank you, Dave! Enjoy your new iPhone!
@@daviddifranco you’re welcome, David! Thank you😊
Nice video I got the 16 pro max in black and replacing my iPhone 15 plus tommorow
Nice upgrade from the 14 I am a huge Apple fan.
Congrats on the new phone! I'm getting the 16 Pro Natural Titanium 512gb. Upgrading from the 12 Pro, so it's going to be a massive upgrade for me.
Very nice! That’s a huge upgrade!

I got the iPhone 16 Pro Max Natural Titanium. I love how light it is, I’m also coming from the 14 Pro Max.
Dude, the weight is insane! I'm still shocked at how light it feels.
First guy I know that got a rose gold. Good for you! Enjoy. I have iPhone 15 so did not upgrade this time
It's not technically Rose Gold, but kind of close. It looks beautiful in person.
So do you use a screen protector at all? I usually do but opted to not for my 14 pro max and my screen is just fine. So not sure if I should on my 16 pro max or not.
Nah, I'm very anti-screen protector.

I missed my 16 pro because signature was required they didn’t even try to deliver on Saturday but finally I got it today
I got the white 16 Pro Max but it won't come until October something because it's backordered on Verizon.
I don’t get why apple doesn’t color coordinate the white MagSafe rings on the clear cases.
Enjoy your new phone! 🎉🎉
I bet there's somebody out there trying to have the Guinness World Record for largest Apple sticker collection.
What is that stand you have on your desk?
I use it for my TikTok videos. amzn.to/4eyiAZH
Enjoy!
The rose looks great
I see ups came through and delivered it Saturday 🎉🎉🎉
I can’t wait to get my promax in black. 👍🏼🖤
Can you make a video about the camera on the iPhone 16?
Definitely!
I lowkey wanna upgrade my 14 pro to the new iPhone but there’s not enough for me to actually upgrade
20 years of Apple usage wow I got my first Mac recently in fact less than six months ago it’s a MacBook Air nice iPhone dude by the way
My iphone didn't show signature required on the UPS app, however they still asked for one. Your not the only one!
My 16 PM also didn’t require a signature, thought that was odd as my 14 Pro did and I pre-signed as I lived in an apartment and it was on camera anyways.

Good choice! Enjoy!!
That wasn’t a long wait!😅❤
hey you know what? , iPhone 16 series is already official in Indonesia
Nice. I also got mine this morning. Asked the guy, and he said they knocked, but no one heard anything, so no idea.
Enjoy!!
It's over $1k and doesn't come with a charging device? (Or a headphone jack.) That is pretty shameful.
Are you kidding? It's common for phones to not include a power adapter. And even then, I charge mine via MagSafe. It's not 2008 anymore.
@@daviddifranco Not kidding. Common practice doesn't justify selling an incomplete product, especially for that price.
IGot my iPhone 16 Pro Max in Desert Titanium in 512GG too!!! Been usingUSB -C, camera controls,and action button.
Very nice, Trina! Enjoy!

Could not get past the boring story not sure who would care about
Why the hate? You obviously cared enough to comment about it and needed attention.
"Could not get past" So you're saying your tiny ass brain could not figure out how to fast forward a video in 2024? Damn dude, you sound so intelligent.
Also, your grammar is fucking awful.
Yet you stayed and commented 😂
@@daviddifrancoI think what’s worse is he was actually here to see the unboxing. True subscribers are here to see David and listen to his shenanigans!
yay you go you phone enjoy you make me smile all the time I just can't stop smile at you are a nice sweet boy I like you on UA-cam you are great I like you and you mom and dad and your cats you are the best 💜
Good video, but i will not be upgrading from the iPhone 15 pro max to the iPhone 16 pro max
Typical UPS
I’m still using my iPhone XR
I get my in 2025.
Mine was to supposed to deliver to me never received it and checked ups someone else got it cross town like MY SIGNATURE HELLO they sent me another one but crazy they so trash UPS
Like the color! Enjoy!
Spaaaaanks!
Happy you were able to get it today David ! !
Thank you!!
You are right David stand up for yourself
I just hate when people call me out on things I clearly already know. 🙈
2,000 unboxings already. Youre late.
Here I was thinking you would prank your mom or dad lol with a Christmas gift lol
😂 Hey, it’s never too late.
@@daviddifranco I have the iPhone 14 max pro after you had yours for a bit is it worth the upgrade? Or should I wait lol I did watch the whole video but figured I’d ask since you have had it most of today
i imagine UPS mishap, kinda added a level of anticipation. greater the suspense greater the enjoyment. enjoy your new phone David. u deserve it.
Agreed. And I got an extra video out of it! It worked out perfectly.
Congratulations David I was so sad for you having to wait until Monday glad it worked out!
😂 Thank you! It worked out PERFECTLY, especially considering it’s my 20th Mac anniversary. 🎉
@@daviddifranco happy Mac anniversary
Best UnBoxing On UA-cam…
1st
Thanks dude!
I came here to see you peel off the wrapping.
I guess UPS just wanted to personally hand to you and not leave it in front your door incase of any porch raiders (which are on the rise).
And I’m sticking to my 14 pro max, I’m hoping for a significant refresh for the 17 pro max
I actually like that color!! 😭😭
Same! It’s very classy. 👌🏻
Still on the iPhone 11 ! 😅
You’re so brave. 😢
Woohoo!! I am glad that you received it and that you were right, which I had a feeling that you were. Enjoy the new phone and its unique and beautiful color. I have to say; the capture button intrigues me very much with every demonstration I see of it!
Thank you so much, Destiny!
🎉
They want us to spend $1k+ every year for a little device just for an update. Ridiculous. Corporate Greed!😡
You’re… not supposed to upgrade every year. Who told you otherwise? 👀
Do you upgrade your car every year? Because a new one comes out everytime 🤣
@@xXRpB3ASTXx😂 Right? They’re creating a problem out of literally nothing.
I put the stickers on the dogs lol
