I’m honestly loving my 16 pro upgrading from a 12. The build quality, the refresh rate, the battery, and the cameras are more than enough enough for me. Camera control is def pretty lame but I like it at least as a quick camera shortcut. I wish I used my action button more
Apple strategically releases new features in increments in order to leverage their products. If they were to release all the new features at once, it would not leave room for more reasons to come out with a new product because everything would have already been rolled out.
I stopped upgrading every year around the iPhone 5, went to a 7 to a 13pro and this year going to a 16proMax because I really like seeing the upgrades between those generations. My 13Pro going to the C- and the camera improvements and the battery life upgrade and NO MENTION of the sattelite link up for emergencies was the real reason for the upgrade this year.
The one thing I hardly see any creator talk about is why we upgrade often… for most its length of term, AppleCare expiring, phone being older and slower … phones to me now are like leasing cars vs financing . My 14 pro max 1tb has 1 month left on AppleCare and I had my first incident in 15+ years of iPhones. New screen and battery replaced and it’s like new.. but without AppleCare I’m not comfortable using a $3k cdn phone
Still haven’t copped the 16 Pro Max yet. I have the 15 Pro Max and I want the 16 for the bigger screen and battery life. Apple Intelligence isn’t the selling point for me. I don’t see why people are so disappointed about a software update not bein in the 16 right now. They told us what it was and when it’s going to be available.
@@MrInFlight the screen, I promise you won’t notice. Even holding them side by side, it’s super minimal. But the phone itself is a bit taller, none of your cases or screen protectors will fit this. The battery is a significant improvement though, I’ll give them that.
For me personally, No need to upgrade for my 15Pro. I usually do a yearly upgrade but totally not worth it. Got one to replace a family member's iPhone XR and couldn't be happier.
I just found you today. Thank you for mentioning those of us who their iPhone for 5+ years and nowu upgrading. I went from an 11 pro max to a 14 pro max in September. Writhing that same month I had to consider what to do now that I have to upgrade again. My husband is rough on phones so he gets the phone I’m using currently and I get the upgrade.
Im so happy my brother swapped his new 16 pro max with my 15 pro max. My visually intensive games don't overheat the phone like pavement on a summer day and the battery is noticeably, substantially better. Also this may just be my imagination but the overall screen brightness is brighter and the screen is just easier on the eyes overall
Your experience with the display is probably real. Even though standards are considered a hard standard, there is percentage in that standard from phone to phone.
WOW!!! That's not possible???!!!! As powerful as the iPhone is???!!! 😂 I have an iPhone but never thought about alphabetizing the apps, perhaps because I have a Samsung phone and did all of that on my Galaxy phone and was content that I could do it on one of my devices. Now I wish I could do it on my iPhone. You've opened my eyes to that missing feature!
Hi! Nice video. I have a question. I have a iPhone 11 pro. I have use it for 4-5 years now and I do wanna buy a new iPhone but iam really confused. I don't know if I should go with the 16 pro or 16 pro max. Which phone would you recommend? I just wanna take good pictures.
Bro , i just upgrade from from 13pro to 16pro and its worth it seriously.. 13 pro too heavy too easily scratch too heating much .. i recomend whom from 13pro below to upgrade !
Yeah, I'm staying with mine too. Apple needs to seriously fix all the lag and bugs in iOS. A three year old phone that was the flagship of its time should not have a keyboard this laggy. Until Apple fix this, I'm not giving them a dime of my money towards a new device.
Im using iPhone 12 Pro and will be upgrading to iPhone 16 pro, before the iPhone 12 Pro I had iPhone 7 and before that I had the iPhone 5s. So you can see how often I feel like upgrading and not because of need but just because the upgrade is justifiable. Even tho my devices are with 0 scratches and taken good care of.i just don’t get those who upgrade every year. I even have iOS 18 on the iPhone 12 Pro and still works amazing.
I upgraded from the 13 to the 16 pro max and I love it ,I never had a phone this big and beautiful, I also love the camera button as well, easy access to the camera
I was pretty unhappy all year with my 15 pro max camera. It was very grainy and washed out more often than not, I’m hoping the 16 pro max will be better. I have a baby and I don’t want all his pics to look crappy
@ The only time I replace my phone is when it’s worn out or no longer software supported, I wised up to apples incremental changes and purchase only the most memory and biggest screen, so the have gone from 64gigabit to 1 t see if it lasts the next ten upgrades the 6+ did years of great service and changed 3 batteries in the life of the phone.
As a cost-conscious consumer and, more importantly, a non-iPhone-Samsung Z Fold/Ultra user, I think, like most tech reviewers, that the traditional slab phone and maybe cell phones, in general, have plateaued. The best thing I've found is to not update every year. I save money and feel like I've got a legitimate upgrade after 2 or 3 years.
How do you manage the eSIM? I have a 16 pro max. But also like to use android. Do you keep your main number on iPhone and another line on androids? The switching is a pain n ass
You can keep your same phone number I had switched years ago from android to iPhone not sure about eSIM go to tips on your phone that will tell you you everything you need to know about your new phone it’s very helpful and it has video training also under “Tips “
First time coming across your channel and love the content. Honestly this channel is a breath of fresh air compared to the OG's in phone reviews. Subscribed.
Hey C, check out the rebel version six and the rebel Flex, the Rebel Flex is without sides. I'm sporting this on my 16 Pro Max and I love that I can narrow it by that amount of thickness to where it is about as thick as a 15/16 pro with a full case! Plus I can modify the buttons and trim/protection pieces with different colors/material. Aluminum/titanium etc. 14:45
Just upgraded to an iPhone 16 pro from my IPhone 12. I'm totally impressed withthe 16 Pro. It was worth every dollar. Screen, battery , camera, speed - all check!
Damn, the fact that every other year, I've spent all my time inside. Not going out, not having kids, forced friendships, and keeping to myself. I find it crazy how people are having money problems. Just don't spend what you can't spend lol I'm blessed to have the 16 pro without feeling like I lost money. It seems like a lot of people need financial counseling 💀 now I can enjoy my phone without feeling guilty like a majority of yall 😭 I went from an iPhone 11 to the 16 and my upgrade might be different than yours, but who told yall to get the latest phone when yall didn't have the money 💤
48MP is a good reason to buy the iP16P, but then again I don’t take photos like that so it will be more of a want than a need at this point coming from a iP15P. Type C charging was the major seller for that phone.
I. am perplexed I have the 15 pro max and love the battery life. However, I miss the size of the regular pro. But I am not feeling that side button for the camera control. Can't decide.
If you go back and use your Iphone 13 max for a week, what will you miss or will you really even be able to tell the difference? Just an idea for an upcoming video
I’m usually an android fanboy, more specifically Samsung. I’ve toyed with iPhones in the past. I bought the 16 pro last week and I’m loving it. Battery could be better but everything else is wonderful. The camera is video coming from this thing is wonderful
I have a Pixel 8 Pro already, with an iPhone 16 pro due to be delivered today. I've never wanted an iPhone in the past, so having an excellent phone from each ecosystem will be an interesting experiment for me.
So it doesn’t come with a charger or headphones?? Since they started to use usb c at least give us those things for the first model using USB c. And what was wrong with lightening plug??? I still use a iPhone X. And what happen to a SIM card?? Now they have esim?? Smh. Doesn’t make me want to upgrade
What an awesome video! I appreciate you adding your personality into this video. It makes it so much more relatable and entertaining. Thank you for sharing this!
Can someone tell me if I should go with Pro or Pro Max, and why? As I can see they all have same features, other than battery and screen, not sure what else is the benefit from Pro Max?
It would be nice to use the camera button and switch it to a flashlight button. It’ll be super easier to use then trying to press with the action button.
Scratches found right before I put on screen protector. Hyper paranoid without case or screen protector. Had to get a case. Waiting over a month for magbak elite case ugh
CJ.....CJ CJ CJ. I been watching since way back when you started. I just want to say I've enjoyed watching you mature as a content creator while remaining yourself. Great videos, and kudos to you sir for producing great videos that are both informative and entertaining. Keep it up!
Recent bought the 16 Pro Max. I must say, I like it. As far as, “Apple Intelligence”, let them take all the time they want. I’d rather them take their time, and get it right, than to rush it.😊
I’m upgrading from iPhone 14 to iPhone 16 pro max, maybe it’s not the best idea, but I’ve always wanted a pro model because I think they’re pretty. ^^ Currently I have the iPhone 14, it’s a little laggy but terrible it’s alright. Sometimes I get annoyed but it’s not the worst phone I’ve had. My camera is nice, I’ve not cracked it at all. :)
i think people should start enjoying these devices in a vacuum, that way they're being judged on their own merits and not necessarily for what it "lacks".
Again another banger I understand that people are complaining about the intelligence stuff and I like how you went about it. You touched on it and then you moved on, but remember they did warn us that it was going to take a while. I will admit slightly strange with them to make the event based on it, but it was showing you what was coming they never said you had to rush out and buy one and lastly, if you remember, they did the same thing with the SOS feature🤷♂️🤷♂️ and again if people really think about it, everything has been done to a phone for the most part that they can do without it being extremely buggy and making the cost of the phone skyrocket. And what were you talking about earlier? How people are being careful because the economy that’s another thing that blows me away when you look at what the phone upgraded to especially if your base model buyer you got so much more for the exact same price as last year.
I’m upgrading from iPhone 14 to iPhone 16 pro max, maybe it’s not the best idea but I’ve always wanted a pro model because I think they’re pretty. :) most likely for Christmas, hopefully I can come back and say how I like it ^^
I've never found "trends" to really be worth much, if I like it that's what matters and I'm loving my 16 Pro Max. I'm with you on the AI frustration but it will come. Great and very thorough video!
The camera button, unless your disabled or right handed is actually pretty nice. I gotta use my camera for my job often and the button helps a lot, and using your left hand helps too
Seems I’m ahead of the times. My current iPhone (soon to be replaced) is an iPhone X. Yep. 7 1/2 Years on the same model, brother, with the only thing replaced being the battery. So I will certainly not belong to the people to return it, just for not being happy with not getting enough new features. I don‘t care about that. I get the one upgrade, that nobody can talk their way out of. Software support. The iPhone X didn’t even get iOS 17. And with iOS 18 released, apparently, I don’t even get security updates for iOS 16 anymore. So its only a matter of time, before apps won‘t be updated anymore as well. And since my replacement battery is used up as well, getting the latest and greatest iPhone is a no brainer for me.
Traded my XS (I also replaced the battery once before) in for a 16 Pro. It was on back order, but it just arrived today. The battery and inevitable end of support were my reasons for upgrading too.
I’m a 16 Pro user, coming from the 15ProMax… I mainly got it because it was a little bit bigger than last years Pro but not as big as the 16PM! I love it

Team 16 pro max
Max is a great idea, nice big screen and longer battery life. I don't need it though, I'm thrilled just to have the 16 Pro and such excellent cameras.
@@crispymh9272 Same lol

Are there temperature problems? I want to buy the pro but I’m worried about the temperature
Same! Just upgraded from the 12 to 16 pro and LOVE it!!! The camera quality is insane.
Also coming from a 12!
I will say if you have the 13 trade it in but if you have the 14 or the 15, you don’t need to get the 16 wait for the 17…
I still have the iPhone XS max 😂
Sweet, just traded in my iPhone 13 Pro Max!
@@ayokikandosame here
Just traded in my iPhone 8 for the 16 pro max. It’s a little different…😂. Got 900$ for the iPhone 8 so couldn’t pass it up.
@@glittlehossdude ..😂 that many years of your life with an 8. Condolences 💐

Audio mix is the best thing in iphone 16 pro series
Is the 16 pro max battery similar to the legendary almost 2 day battery life of the 13 pro max?
Yes from my experience and I’m a very heavy user that gets over 1.5 days of battery
My 13 pro max was no where near a two day battery life. Upgraded to to 16 pro and hoping I’m happy with it.
I'm asking around. So should I upgrade to iPhone 16 pro? I'm currently using the base pixel 7 ? Im not in any ecosystem. Last iPhone was iPhone 5

Currently I have the iPhone 14, it’s a little laggy but terrible it’s alright. Sometimes I get annoyed but it’s not the worst phone I’ve had. My camera is nice, I’ve not cracked it at all. :)
It’s called “the law of diminishing returns” 🙂
i think people should start enjoying these devices in a vacuum, that way they're being judged on their own merits and not necessarily for what it "lacks".
Again another banger I understand that people are complaining about the intelligence stuff and I like how you went about it. You touched on it and then you moved on, but remember they did warn us that it was going to take a while. I will admit slightly strange with them to make the event based on it, but it was showing you what was coming they never said you had to rush out and buy one and lastly, if you remember, they did the same thing with the SOS feature🤷♂️🤷♂️ and again if people really think about it, everything has been done to a phone for the most part that they can do without it being extremely buggy and making the cost of the phone skyrocket. And what were you talking about earlier? How people are being careful because the economy that’s another thing that blows me away when you look at what the phone upgraded to especially if your base model buyer you got so much more for the exact same price as last year.
I’m upgrading from iPhone 14 to iPhone 16 pro max, maybe it’s not the best idea but I’ve always wanted a pro model because I think they’re pretty. :) most likely for Christmas, hopefully I can come back and say how I like it ^^
I've never found "trends" to really be worth much, if I like it that's what matters and I'm loving my 16 Pro Max. I'm with you on the AI frustration but it will come. Great and very thorough video!
your necklace is cool where did u get it
As longbeach griffey says... Its an iphone with a camera😂😂😂
The camera button, unless your disabled or right handed is actually pretty nice. I gotta use my camera for my job often and the button helps a lot, and using your left hand helps too
oh wow using it with the left hand thumb is way better😂 Thanks
@@CJKnowsTECH sorry your other fingers are disabled, mine aren’t though😂
Love it coming from the 13 pro max
Nice
Seems I’m ahead of the times. My current iPhone (soon to be replaced) is an iPhone X. Yep. 7 1/2 Years on the same model, brother, with the only thing replaced being the battery. So I will certainly not belong to the people to return it, just for not being happy with not getting enough new features. I don‘t care about that. I get the one upgrade, that nobody can talk their way out of. Software support. The iPhone X didn’t even get iOS 17. And with iOS 18 released, apparently, I don’t even get security updates for iOS 16 anymore. So its only a matter of time, before apps won‘t be updated anymore as well. And since my replacement battery is used up as well, getting the latest and greatest iPhone is a no brainer for me.
Exactly! Thanks for sharing
Traded my XS (I also replaced the battery once before) in for a 16 Pro. It was on back order, but it just arrived today. The battery and inevitable end of support were my reasons for upgrading too.
They talk about the iPhone not launching with A.I…..but the flagship android phone launched with Android 14…smh.
MKBHD Atoms Spotted. Got em in blue. Great vid!!
I’m a 16 Pro user, coming from the 15ProMax… I mainly got it because it was a little bit bigger than last years Pro but not as big as the 16PM! I love it
Do you think you regret it for the size loss and screen consumption and battery life
Now thats what I call a “Real & Honest Review”
Thank you :)
Well said CJ, not even a part, All of it. Well said. Ordered my 16 Pro after your last vid and now I’ve seen this looking forward to receiving it. 🤘🏾
what an excellent video. good job
Thank you
Love your detailed videos. Keep it up my G
🤔 jusr at the point of ram, UA-cam refreshs all the time even I leave the video I watched on, I don’t close the app but it’ll still refresh 🤔

CJ your video was Amazing you help me to decide to get Iphone 16 pro
Tkuuuu
Just came from the 13 mini. 16 plus👍🏽
I liked your video. Great videography. Gained a sub😌
Well stated about that apple eco system. Even tho I'm starting to tap into the samsung market don't see me converting into a samsung knight 😆
And I have 1 month waiting on my 16 pro max 😂
13 pr0 128gb trade in $850 credit towards 16 pro 1tb… best upgrade
I wish they add a close all apps tab instead of closing the apps one by one everytime 😏
I’m still on an Xs max. Watching videos because my phone has too many problems now.
I upgraded my phone because the battery life on my 13 is basically done.
Great review!!!😮😅😊
16 Pro max here, changed from the 13 pro max only because I could sell my 13 for really good money 😊
iPhone 16 PRO / PRO MAX is a misunderstanding in Europe where Apple intelligence will not work for a long long time
That’s because of European privacy laws has nothing to do with Apple
