I have the iPhone 16 plus and I’m happy with it I don’t have a problem with 60hrz refresh rate. I gave my 14 plus to my mother because she was using the iPhone 11.
For me 60hz isn’t unusable, but when I go to 120hz I definitely notice the difference. For most people (casual) the refresh rate shouldn’t matter all that much.
I am into tech, and I have used my share of 120 hz phones, and some 60hz phones. I’m using a 16 right now, and I couldn’t tell you the difference between my dad’s 14 pro, and my 16 to save my life.
For a moment, I felt like I was using the phone myself. It is truly a great success to fit such a detailed speed test into this much time. I wish the iPhone 12 mini or iPhone SE 2 came with a speed test
I went to a 16 pro max after I returned the 16 pro yesterday and it felt a little wider than my old 15 pro max for some reason like it’s a little noticeable. But love the idea of them putting an a18 in the base 16s too and the 8gb of ram. Definitely future proofs it.
@@deon.zoldyck I already broke the volume buttons and the front glass. Plus the battery health was already 86 percent and it kept overheating. It was worth it for me because the 16 pro max never overheated for me and gets much better battery life. If my 15 pm was not broken I would’ve kept it. I’m going to use an otterbox on the 16 now and keep it until the 19 pro max.
It kind of makes sense since it is limiting the hardware refresh rate by software... The Pro Max states a big boost in battery life against the Plus, but is that only when limiting the screen refresh rate to 60Hz on the Pro Max or even at 120Hz?
Interested were with IPS screen and 60 all categories regardless of the fact that some of them carried an air conditioner remote as a phone in the past
If they have options between 120 and 60 on the device, that would be fine…. If you want more battery life you can switch …. There saying 120 on all phones next year so they have to ditch the iPhone Plus so it’s not even closer to iPhone Pro Max . Grab the plus model before it disappears and hold on to it till something similar is in line and not have to pay $1200 … I always buy the plus model if available when upgrading, going from 11 pro max to 16 plus this year. Absolutely loved the 11 pro max rounded black and chrome edges with the green color , hard to let it go battery life has always been fantastic.
I don't notice much difference between 120hz and 60hz, my computer monitor is 75hz, my iPad is 60hz, idk, 120hz is cool for making the phone addictive, but it is a waste of battery in my opinion, at least with my usecases anyway.
You don't notice a difference in smoothness because the pro doesn't ever run at 120hz. It's a scam. I have a 14 pro but I'm probably switching back to Android next year.
How does PWM differ between the two. Had to get a 14 Pro Max in 2022 as PWM on the Pro was less extreme than the non Pro. Is this still the case as I like the Plus model more than the Pro this time.
@@kellerlacy1989 glad to hear that, I only brought it up because most people say they experience a small transition period of adjusting to the lower frame rate.
2:40 For this reason I don't care at all, as my iPhone has a screen with a refresh rate of 60 Hz. Transitions and animations in iOS are better optimized than those in Android.
I compared my iPhone 13 Pro to the iphone 16 pro. There is almost no difference between their performance in normal use. I thought web browsers would load faster etc. but they don’t. And having the promotion display as well on the 13 pro it doesn’t stutter like the normal iPhones. You really don’t notice the difference between 13 and 16 pro a all
I’m going to ask what might be a weird question. Anyone thinking the 6:9 screen proportions on the 16PM look a little weird? Like the fact that there is a bigger gap at the top of the Dynamic Island. To anyone who might have it, does it feel weird or is it just a matter of getting use to it?
I think the real issue is the GB and price, if you compare the 16+ 256 gb vs 16 pro max the price is very close, it really makes you wonder, and apple knows that jaja
Bro I had my iPhone 13 and after having the 15 pro max for a month and I try to test out the 120hz after a month I can’t got back to 60hz because it feels laggy when my iPhone 15 pro max starts to get old I’ll have to upgrade but down grade the battery life in the future and the size because I’m in high school at the end of the year I graduate so I am going to have to find a model that is good for me it has to 120hz which mean a pro
I was wondering if the display was better on the pro Max vs the plus. When I called Apple they were like they both have the same screens. I remember my 14 pro had a better screen than reg 14
The plus models battery health is way better , my girlfriends 16 pro max after 8 months of use has 90% battery health my 14 plus two years of use + I use the phone average 2 hours more a day than her my battery health is 91%. I think the 120hz is a battery health killer no other explanation??
iPhone 16 plus is definitely NOT good for playing COD Mobile Coming from playing on a regular iPhone 15 iPhone 16 plus feels like I’m playing COD Mobile in mud, feels really really sluggish
Real factory charger don't buy local charger if you want to save your Mobile from fast decreasing of battery health dead and green screen type problems
If 16 plus was 120hz nobody would've buy the pro max version
Unless you are a camera enthuasiast then maybe you still buy the pro max.
Exactly 💪🏿 cause I don't care about cameras
@@Notilia3 should’ve had 90 atleast make something midrange with not flagship it’s the newest version make a benchmark if anything
why was it over 900usd if its 60hz in the 1st place. shouldve been priced 400usd😂
Even if 16 Plus had 120 hz it’s not Ultra Extreme like the Pro Max

Exactly. It’s way better to purchase last year’s 15 Pro Max vs a 16 Plus.
In gaming 60hz just feels bad men.
@@justino9042 it does, but I don’t play many games on my phone so I don’t typically hold it to the same standards as I I do my PS5.
tests show the 16 pro max just sits at 80hz and rarely exceeds this for any of the apple apps.

I bought an iPhone se (2016) after watching your review. Now I am finally upgrading to an iPhone 16 Plus. Wow time flies.
For a moment, I felt like I was using the phone myself. It is truly a great success to fit such a detailed speed test into this much time. I wish the iPhone 12 mini or iPhone SE 2 came with a speed test
The difference is almost zero, if it weren't for the 120hz screen I would say that the plus would be a better option, but the pro has that advantage.
That's right, I have a Vionentus screen protector on my screen to make sure it doesn't get scratched and lasts longer.
I've never trusted screensavers much but this time I think I'll give them a try.
Apple really knocked it out of the park with that teal color.
9:58 they make the 120 hz feel like a luxury when it shouldnt be
Do a speed test between 16 plus and the 15 pro max

I realised that if you set the promotion screen to 60hz by battery saving mode or limit frames, it looks worse than 60hz on the non promotion iphones
Yeap

Great video Nick 👍🏻
You can see how much better the bench scores are after the first update of ios 18. As they will polish it it will perform even better.
Only difference I found between 16 plus and 16 pro max is camera zoom - 4x and 10x rest is same.

Could you do the base iPhone 16 vs 15?

Since I never had 120 hz on my iPad or phone and only game on my pc I feel like it’s not a huge deal to me. Idk though

If you were to upgrade from something like a 14 pro Max to a 16 plus would that be a downgrade or upgrade. You lose the 120hz screen
I currently use 14 promax and just ordered 16 pro max! I tried the regular 16 in the store but 60hz refresh rate bothered me!!
The base 16 will have a better camera and battery, 120 vs 60 might bother you but your eyes do adjust relatively quickly.
@@MarcoBeSomething I've used a 14 Pro and am currently on a 15 Plus with no plans to upgrade anytime soon and the 60 Hz doesn't bother me.

Can you do xiaomi 14 ultra vs 16 pro max
You can display the refresh rate of the screen in developer mode and pro and pro Max is only 80hz
Ye they need to fix that problem and it's when you scroll fast.

Atleast 90hz would be better on base models
What is crazy is that tests show that the 16 Pro Max only runs at 82hz 90% of the time, so I doubt Apple will make the 17 90hz. Such robbery.
The 16 pro max has a 6.9 inch screen instead of 6.7 with the plus
I’m going for the iPhone 16 Pro Max because it has a slightly bigger screen, and because it has the capture button once I’m able to afford it
