No, I went from the base model to the pro model. I will never switch back! I told my brother that they should make the screen on the pro 6.3 and that’s exactly what happened. Love the 16 pro!!🎉
I switched from s24 ultra to regular 16 and 0 regrets with my decision. I just like how compact and light the iphone 16 is. Yes I missed the anti reflective screen of s24 ultra, and in my surprise my eyes got used to the 60hz screen immediately no problem!
Went from a 12 Pro Max to a 16 Plus, and I'm more than happy with my purchase. the 16PM was too much of a beast this year, so I decided to treat myself to weight savings and a nice color (teal) and haven't looked back.
Same here. After all the fuss and blah blah, i went with the plus model this year with Nothing Phone 2a and believe me, I've no regrets. Yes, 120hz matters but as well as money so.
Before I went from a 3 year old base iPhone 13 to a iPhone 16 Pro Max, I thought jumping to a base 16 would be fine, and considering how much the base 16 benefits from not being as separated from the Pros in terms of features, the Pro Motion display and greater brightness of the Pro Max has convinced me to stick with it. Also the Pro Max (which I know has a slightly different situation than the other Pro iPhones) has some INSANE battery life compared to what I used to get from my base 13 (both with worn out and back when it had a new battery) Of course, comparing a Pro Max to a base 13 is VERY different than a 16 Pro and a base 16, which doesn’t have brightness differences.
I actually prefer the non-pro this year. The pro is so heavy that it hurts my hands sometimes. The non-pro also has better color options. 60hz is a bummer, but it doesn’t matter much for me on a phone.
I was so concerned with buying the regular this year because people kept saying 120hz and I tried it out with my friends phone (13 pro max) and after an extensive use it was mehh. It is not worth the extra money. You can definitely live without it. Going for the 16
Color matters for longevity imo. Fun colors lose their charm after a bit. If you plan on keeping your phone for a long while it’s best to go with something neutral imo
I get what you're saying, but you are already spending a good amount of money for a device that you may or may not use for a few years. I'd rather spend the extra couple hundred and get those additional features that will make the experience that much better. I'd spend $200 alone just to have the 120hz display. I had the 12 Pro Max and loved it (just updated to the 16 Pro Max), but I remember my Mom got a 13 Pro and when I used it, it was so hard to go back to my 60hz screen!! I am loving my new phone. I have my Dad my 12 Pro Max to replaced his 8 Plus. He's super happy that he can now update past iOS 16.
Hi sir Brandon, upgraded from iPhone 11 into iPhone 16 pro, I did not notice any battery life improvement comparing to iPhone 11 (when it's new). But I really love the pro-motion, its charging speed and performance to gaming. :D
Awesome video! Sounds like Apple is trying to make the base model just as good as the pro model. The one thing I like about the iPhone Pro is it has one terabyte of storage at the maximum and you can only get 512 GB on the base model. I went with a one terabyte model when I upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro last year. I plan to keep it for two or three years.
I have moved to a 16 after having a 12 Pro Max, 13 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max. I love it. I don’t even notice the 60 hertz screen. I don’t use the action button for anything other than silent mode and I rarely use the camera control and I’ve disabled the control other than opening the camera and shutter release. I find the “control” part of the camera (for settings) very hard to use.
Everyday objective differences that matter to most, IMO/experience: 1. Cost; 2. Weight; 3. Battery life; 4. Camera(s) capabilities. The 120 vs 60 refresh ? Yes, the screen-touching experience also is measurably different between the two models. It’s really a matter of what one can use vs. what is offered. The pro is amazingly versatile and powerful in the right hands. It’s wasted technology otherwise.
@@krishind99 don’t worry. Most of us will reach that point soon where your are with your eyes ^^ everyone has his own 100 and bye bye world :) HZ in that toy is not the most important thing in the world.
I upgraded from iPhone 14 Pro Max to iPhone 16 plus. The only thing I miss is the extra brightness when outside (I’m In Australia so it’s very sunny) and the always on display. No regrets. The phone is excellent. I agree it was the colours that enticed me (I got Teal which is great!).
I have the 16 pro in desert titanium, moving from a 13 in blue! So far, I love the bezels and refresh rate (even though promotion has nothing "pro" about it, bring 120hz to the 800 dollar phone please). Honestly, I'm not that impressed by the cameras, and I don't see any major improvements in basic photos and videos. But the battery life. So good. As for AI, I feel like most of the features are not useful for me except for genmoji and visual intelligence. I think apple intelligence should incorporate a way to search your screen, sort of like circle to search on android. Is it just me, or does the 1 nit brightness seem not that low? I can't tell a major difference between the 16p and 13 in that field
I have the 16 Pro Max and a 15 Plus, and I barely notice the refresh rate difference. Not sure why everyone is so stuck on that it’s a phone, not a gaming monitor.
not to mention who is scrolling really fast on their phone? Most of the time my 16 plus sits either in my pocket or sitting on my car mount with the screen off so I never noticed the 60hz.
I don't care about 60Hz refresh. I'm used to 60Hz for over the past decade. I don't care about the new buttons. The Camera Control button is particularly useless. I don't care about the new colors. And, frankly, I liked last year's pastel colors better. I don't care about Apple Intelligence. It's too gimmicky and unreliable. I use my phone camera strictly as a point-and-shoot, so I don't care about the fancy camera features. I almost never transfer data via USB. I'm also not a serious gamer. As a casual user, I recharge my phone every two or three days. As an iPhone 15 user, the iPhone 16 offers me very, very little. The iPhone 16 release this year was a massive disappointment. That said, I agree that the iPhone 16 is the better choice over the iPhone 16 Pro models. And, by the way, if you're like me above, you can save $100 by buying the iPhone 15. It still gives you the dynamic island, USB-C, same bright screen, and same camera sensor.
@@ianrichleighbumanglag1887 The iPhone 13 is discontinued. The iPhone 15's USB-C is important for ecosystem cohesion. The brighter screen is also very nice.
I upgraded from base 15 to 16 pro and realise that getting regular 15 was wrong, I should go to 15 pro from beginning. You can’t go back to base once u use pro. Trust me the guy from video will go back to pro very soon.
tbh - promotion alone is worth the extra cost to me. It used to be all the other "pro" features reserved for the pro phones but now that they are mostly all the same.. i still can't justify not having promotion. I've gotten so used to AOD too and having the ability to quick glance at the time/if alarm is set/weather and battery widget that I can't ever go back. Sucks thats come down to effectively just promotion but it is what it is. I'm not a "pro videographer" or big gamer so none of that extra power applies for me.
I have the 16 pro max in black and the 16 Ultramarine and tell you the truth, I prefer the standard 16 as I absolutely love the colour, the smaller size especially in my pocket and refresh rate is capped on many apps any way so not overly noticeable. Also the pro max seems more glitchy especially touch issues even on 18.2 public build . Thinking of swapping the 16 pro max to the non max version because my 16 as a work phone is so much more comfortable, may even get another 16 instead lol
This the first year I’m gone to the low end model 16 plus I’ve been getting the flagships from the X to the 14 pro max ..I got the 16 plus in the teal color I love it..I m not one that minds the refresh rate being 60HZ I don’t even be noticing lol..but the fact they gave the same features to the 16 like they did the pro I have no regrets
I have Iphone 16 ultramarine 256gb. I really dont need 120hz. Im aware of that as my previous phone are all 120hz. It’s just 60hz on my iphone 16 is enough for me. The rest is all buttery smooth! I dont have any complaint at all.
Im thinking about upgrading to iPhone 16 Pro from my iPhone 12, mainly for more storage and better camera quality. But I have also seen people saying if you're planning on getting the iPhone 16 Pro take a look at iPhone 15 Pro Max first, any thoughts on that?
For 16 Pro users, are you also experiencing battery drain by Wallpaper? Even I use a normal wallpaper, it goes from 80% to 76% even if I am not using the phone.
I completely forgot that the refresh rate was a thing. I got the 16 Pro coming from the 15 and I use them both and I don’t notice anything. I got the 15 last year instead of the 15 Pro because I thought I didn’t need any of the extra features, plus the 15 has the absolute best pink I’ve ever seen on a phone - really the perfect pink - but I was disappointed this year to see that Apple intelligence wouldn’t be available on my phone. For a whole year I felt no disadvantage at all for not having the Pro, and then suddenly I had a phone that wouldn’t get the very next big feature. I like to keep the same phone for at least two or three years (previous to the 15 I had the XS), and iPhones are great at that, but I’m afraid that maybe the trick now is that the non-pro basic model is perfect, ever preferable to the Pro because of the price, but only for the first year, then it’ll feel obsolete much sooner than the Pro.
The only thing I always notice when I pick up the base model is how much lighter it is, I always take a mental note that next time I buy a phone I will consider its weight. The lighter phone is soo much of an upgrade to me and I’ve been a pro user since there was an option. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
First iPhone since the 5 been using Samsung flagships and decided to try apple for once. 16 pro max. Liking the size of the screen and battery is decent for iPhone
Went from a 12 mini to a 14 pro. The size and weight difference was truly awkward. Got used to it but I will not buy a phone that is any larger than this 14 pro.
This year I went from a pro max to a plus phone as I realised it’s my “phone” for calling and WhatsApp and not a “camera” for me and my 15 pro max has terrible battery life I went from a 13 pro max to a 15 pro max last year. The 13 pro max I traded in has 87% battery after 2 years This year I traded in the 15 pro max for a 16+ and the 15 pro max had 88% health after only a year I realised that I would turn off always on display to preserve battery life
Being visually impaired and a voice user, the difference between 60 Hz and 120 Hz is negligible because I am scrolling exclusively with my finger. I considered getting a plus because I've had the 14+ and liked it and in some ways wish I had instead of the 16 Pro Max. Is the promax a bad phone, no, but many things on the promax I'll never use and will never use and almost wish that I had gotten the 16+ because of that.
yes I am!! It’s soo cool. Not really an improvement from my 14 pro, but I like this 16 Pro better than my 14 pro not gonna lie! :) it’s great overall!!
I also think the camera control button is very underrated, as someone who is forced to take a lot of pictures of my partner on travels. I found the camera control button to be a very useful shortcut to launch the camera. I have never been able to make myself use the camera shortcut on the lock screen or the swipe left gesture. I don’t know why, but the camera control button I use it all the time on my last trip. lol
Hi for the usb speeds the information is incorrect usb 2.0 speed is 480Mbit/s and usb is 5 Gbit/s or about 5000 Mbit/s and by the way i watch your videos often continue your good work
hmmm I'm really sold on the pro for the titanium and 120hrz, i just started using 144hrz on my pc and the jump from 60 is awesome, then again im gaming on my pc but watching stuff at higher rate is nice
Hi @Brandon, can you make a video on the fact that while shopping for anything on iPhone vs. on Android, the products/services tend to be on the expensive end on iPhones. For example, while booking airline tickets on the same app from iPhone and Android, iPhone tends to have expensive booking options. Even UA-cam Premium is more expensive on iPhone than on Android. Would love to have your take on it.
The camera control button photos taken dont go to the album… what do i need to do? I use the 16 PM Ok i learn long press is different then the short ress
@ the layout of camera up and down when I hold phone with my small finger on n bottom of phone I tend to get part of my pointer finger in way of the bottom camera lens
So now imagine next year the basic iPhone 17 will finally have a ProMotion display so 120hz display 😎🔥, for so long I’ve been a regular pro user until iPhone 13 Pro Max with ProMotion display and much bigger battery 🔋 now I can’t go back and sad they let go the 17 Plus for an iPhone 17 Air ? 🥺
After a couple of hours you don’t think about it anymore. Of course it’s visible if you compare the two side by side but using only one device you get used to whatever after a short time. That said it’s ridiculous that Apple don’t just have the 120hz on all their phones but of course that would just make it even more ridiculous to get their pro models.
@@machenkaI really feel like it’s the last year Apple is doing is since yeah if the regular models were also 120Hz there would virtually be no difference between the two. The ProMotion is really the big selling point of the Pro vs Regular models at least this year…
Thanks for sharing. If you are able share some camera settings tricks for iphone 16 base model. Most you-tubers are only sharing for iphone 16 Pro models
Yeah, Apple Intelligence might be nice. Wouldn’t know because that feature doesn’t run when you are in the EU! 🙄 Still pretty happy with my teal colored iPhone 16 but still missing my iPhone 13 mini! Was the perfect size! I still hope that the mini size will come back one time and NO, not in a SE…!
I’m truly disappointed in Apples stuttering release of iOS 18 this year. I’ve heard it is expected to be “complete” (whatever that means) until the second quarter of 2025. That’s half the life of it being the newest device available from Apple. And Apple shouldn’t waste so much effort on their cartoonish toys. These features are not often used by most people over the age of 14.
It also depends what is the individual situation. For example imagine what is the difference to me after switching from white 12 mini 128 to white 16 pro max 256 😁 And in my opinion it was worth it 🙂
Nope. I want the bigger screen and the battery. Screen mainly. But I wish they would stop with the boring colors. I would trade 2 cousins and an aunt for a 16 pro max Product Red. Lol
Well i don’t need an extra telephoto lens coz i rarely use the camera nd i’m not gonna get a pro just for that 120hz… even tho ik the difference between them but still i’ll stick with the base iphone
Are you team iPhone 16 or 16 Pro?
Also, check out EcoFlow's RAPID Magnetic Power Bank: amzn.to/4fV6p9X
No, I went from the base model to the pro model. I will never switch back! I told my brother that they should make the screen on the pro 6.3 and that’s exactly what happened. Love the 16 pro!!🎉

Rocking my 16 pro here!! Love it honestly the bigger screen is perfect

Have both and seem to love the pro ultramarine better😂
Natural titanium 16 pro baby! Came from a 13 and haven’t regretted it.
I got the iPhone 15 pro max I got the wife the iPhone 16pro in desert color
I traded my 13 Pro Max for the 16 Pro and I’m loving how much lighter it is. the battery life not being as good though.
13 mini to 16 💪
Ultramarine might be top 3 best iPhone colors ever 😮💨
It def is I’m in love with how it stands out 💯
Yes much better that the blue on the 15 and 15 pro in my opinion
It sure is! That’s what color my iPhone 16 is.
13 pro - gold🥇
Definitely the best colour Apple has made for me and I buy 2 every year
I switched from s24 ultra to regular 16 and 0 regrets with my decision. I just like how compact and light the iphone 16 is. Yes I missed the anti reflective screen of s24 ultra, and in my surprise my eyes got used to the 60hz screen immediately no problem!
Same!
Went from a 12 Pro Max to a 16 Plus, and I'm more than happy with my purchase. the 16PM was too much of a beast this year, so I decided to treat myself to weight savings and a nice color (teal) and haven't looked back.
16 plus for me. Same weight as the smaller pro and i don'y really notice the absence of pro motion. Best iPhone ever for me.
16 plus is very underrated this year
Same here. After all the fuss and blah blah, i went with the plus model this year with Nothing Phone 2a and believe me, I've no regrets. Yes, 120hz matters but as well as money so.
Apple needs to add a double and triple press for the action button for other options.
I agree. Maybe with iOS 19
Got my 16 black 256gb and I'm loving it ❤
So you complain when there is a gap between the pros and bases and you still complain when there is “too small” of a gap?
Before I went from a 3 year old base iPhone 13 to a iPhone 16 Pro Max, I thought jumping to a base 16 would be fine, and considering how much the base 16 benefits from not being as separated from the Pros in terms of features, the Pro Motion display and greater brightness of the Pro Max has convinced me to stick with it.

no hate or offense but why do you say non pro?
I hear other people just call it the 16 or the regular 16
its a huge difference though
It doesn’t bother me either, 60 hz mean better battery life and I don’t care about games on my phone, I got systems for games
@ just turn the hz down pros have better batteries
Bro wtf a phone hurts your hands? Soft hands lol
60Hz displays don’t lie to me. The 7 Plus had the same refresh rate as the 15 Plus I have now.
I was so concerned with buying the regular this year because people kept saying 120hz and I tried it out with my friends phone (13 pro max) and after an extensive use it was mehh. It is not worth the extra money. You can definitely live without it. Going for the 16
color doesn't matter. you literally forget what color your iphone is until the day comes when you have to take off your case for a new one
Many of us either don’t have a case or have a clear case. Also, you can colour match the camera bump to a case
I either rock a clear case or no case, so that is untrue.
I never rock a case, love to see my color
I haven’t used a case on my phone in years
Color matters for longevity imo. Fun colors lose their charm after a bit. If you plan on keeping your phone for a long while it’s best to go with something neutral imo
i went with the 16 plus this year....for all your reasons
good, simple, and honest review. Thank you Brandon!

I like to keep the same phone for at least two or three years (previous to the 15 I had the XS), and iPhones are great at that, but I’m afraid that maybe the trick now is that the non-pro basic model is perfect, ever preferable to the Pro because of the price, but only for the first year, then it’ll feel obsolete much sooner than the Pro.
The only thing I always notice when I pick up the base model is how much lighter it is, I always take a mental note that next time I buy a phone I will consider its weight. The lighter phone is soo much of an upgrade to me and I’ve been a pro user since there was an option. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have the iPhone 16 pro max natural titanium upgraded from the 13 pro max black and I like the natural titanium so far
First iPhone since the 5 been using Samsung flagships and decided to try apple for once. 16 pro max. Liking the size of the screen and battery is decent for iPhone
Went from a 12 mini to a 14 pro. The size and weight difference was truly awkward. Got used to it but I will not buy a phone that is any larger than this 14 pro.
Great job Man,Thanks.
I’m on 18.3. My phone15 Pro Max is 10.5 months old. Battery health is 91. I’m livid.
Super happy with my 16 pro max, but the regular models are killer!
You and an “A” at the end to a LOT of words😂😂😂 iPhoneAHH, 16ahh, ChatGPTahh
Go post videos and let’s pick apart your vernacular and habits. See how fun that is for you.
@ I already have a few videos and shorts and I talk normal. I mean I talk normalAHH
This year I went from a pro max to a plus phone as I realised it’s my “phone” for calling and WhatsApp and not a “camera” for me and my 15 pro max has terrible battery life
I went from a 13 pro max to a 15 pro max last year. The 13 pro max I traded in has 87% battery after 2 years
This year I traded in the 15 pro max for a 16+ and the 15 pro max had 88% health after only a year
I realised that I would turn off always on display to preserve battery life
That’s why I’m getting the 16 plus and not the pro.
Being visually impaired and a voice user, the difference between 60 Hz and 120 Hz is negligible because I am scrolling exclusively with my finger. I considered getting a plus because I've had the 14+ and liked it and in some ways wish I had instead of the 16 Pro Max. Is the promax a bad phone, no, but many things on the promax I'll never use and will never use and almost wish that I had gotten the 16+ because of that.
I have the 16 Pro in Black Titanium! It’s sooo good ❤😁
beauty! You using the Camera Control?
yes I am!! It’s soo cool. Not really an improvement from my 14 pro, but I like this 16 Pro better than my 14 pro not gonna lie! :) it’s great overall!!
I also think the camera control button is very underrated, as someone who is forced to take a lot of pictures of my partner on travels. I found the camera control button to be a very useful shortcut to launch the camera. I have never been able to make myself use the camera shortcut on the lock screen or the swipe left gesture. I don’t know why, but the camera control button I use it all the time on my last trip. lol
Even my 400 dollar 2 year old Samsung A54 has better AI features than 16 pro
And u call it a win for 16 to have AI
Hi for the usb speeds the information is incorrect usb 2.0 speed is 480Mbit/s and usb is 5 Gbit/s or about 5000 Mbit/s and by the way i watch your videos often continue your good work
hmmm I'm really sold on the pro for the titanium and 120hrz, i just started using 144hrz on my pc and the jump from 60 is awesome, then again im gaming on my pc but watching stuff at higher rate is nice
Hi @Brandon, can you make a video on the fact that while shopping for anything on iPhone vs. on Android, the products/services tend to be on the expensive end on iPhones. For example, while booking airline tickets on the same app from iPhone and Android, iPhone tends to have expensive booking options. Even UA-cam Premium is more expensive on iPhone than on Android. Would love to have your take on it.
Do you think 8GB of ram is good enough for AI future updates?
The camera control button photos taken dont go to the album… what do i need to do? I use the 16 PM
Ok i learn long press is different then the short ress
I use my Pro at 60hz and it’s totally fine especially the battery life
Don't like camera lay put my finger tends to be in the way with one hand use
What do you mean?
@ the layout of camera up and down when I hold phone with my small finger on n bottom of phone I tend to get part of my pointer finger in way of the bottom camera lens
What ssd do you have
Should I update my 14 Plus for the 16 Plus? (Battery life is my main concern)
society would change overnight if more people read the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki
16 pro black is nice !!!!
can never go wrong with black!
16 base model is even nicer
Are you trying to tell me some shxt or are you trying to sell me some shxt? 🤔
So now imagine next year the basic iPhone 17 will finally have a ProMotion display so 120hz display 😎🔥, for so long I’ve been a regular pro user until iPhone 13 Pro Max with ProMotion display and much bigger battery 🔋 now I can’t go back and sad they let go the 17 Plus for an iPhone 17 Air ? 🥺
I have the 16 pro max , my wife has the iPhone 16 i’m really surprised how good the 16 is.
Chose the pro max over regular, the refresh rate is insanely faster I can’t imagine still using 60Hz, also not to mention battery life…
Pro Max is always solid. I just couldn’t deal with the large size this time around
After a couple of hours you don’t think about it anymore. Of course it’s visible if you compare the two side by side but using only one device you get used to whatever after a short time. That said it’s ridiculous that Apple don’t just have the 120hz on all their phones but of course that would just make it even more ridiculous to get their pro models.
@@machenkaI really feel like it’s the last year Apple is doing is since yeah if the regular models were also 120Hz there would virtually be no difference between the two. The ProMotion is really the big selling point of the Pro vs Regular models at least this year…
Thanks for sharing. If you are able share some camera settings tricks for iphone 16 base model. Most you-tubers are only sharing for iphone 16 Pro models
Yeah, Apple Intelligence might be nice. Wouldn’t know because that feature doesn’t run when you are in the EU! 🙄
Still pretty happy with my teal colored iPhone 16 but still missing my iPhone 13 mini! Was the perfect size! I still hope that the mini size will come back one time and NO, not in a SE…!
I’m truly disappointed in Apples stuttering release of iOS 18 this year. I’ve heard it is expected to be “complete” (whatever that means) until the second quarter of 2025. That’s half the life of it being the newest device available from Apple. And Apple shouldn’t waste so much effort on their cartoonish toys. These features are not often used by most people over the age of 14.
The ChatGPT is good but it goes too quick before I can read it
It also depends what is the individual situation. For example imagine what is the difference to me after switching from white 12 mini 128 to white 16 pro max 256 😁 And in my opinion it was worth it 🙂
I’ve never wanted a Pro and I’ve only ever had the base model
Nope. I want the bigger screen and the battery. Screen mainly. But I wish they would stop with the boring colors. I would trade 2 cousins and an aunt for a 16 pro max Product Red. Lol
“If you want to use your phone’s features, you might have to pick up a battery pack”. Not good business, APPLE.
Anyone else having issues with the ai camera? Mines not showing any type of restaurant info about it
I just want the cameras to work/focus perfectly!
So which is it? You say you use the ChatGPT app through your control button but then you also say you use ChatGPT through Apple Intelligence
I use the voice mode through the control button. that’s not available with Apple Intelligence
I dont think i can go down to 60hz tbh!! 😅😅
If you even know what that means you are a geek and care to much.
Ah.... still waiting for official release of iPhone 16 here
I aint ever going back to 60 from 120hz lol me personally
Watching this on my IP16 Pro 😍
they don’t want you to read the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki because it sets you free
Even without apple intelligence, the 16 pro has been amazing for me
Am I the only one wino *definitely does not * want a camera button lol
Well i don’t need an extra telephoto lens coz i rarely use the camera nd i’m not gonna get a pro just for that 120hz… even tho ik the difference between them but still i’ll stick with the base iphone
I’m loving my 16 Pro Max best iPhone ever
Pro motion and I'm in ..... simple as that.
I think the voice mic mode of the pro sounds like very very ai. I really dont like that sound and im disappointed.
But I peak it but honestly iphone is worth of buying in a mall because I got major issues
Pro is so much better
I have the iPhone 15 pro max I got the wife the iPhone 16pro she has the old iPhone 11 that is a big upgrade for her
