In 2024...YT creator reviews are basically a commercial disguised as a review. Samsung and Google pay creators to give positive reviews which is why all their reviews sound like a script. ESR has decided to pay a bunch of creators and flood us with advertising to make their products seem popular. Lots of manipulation going on
Used to be heavy on spigen products, then tried ESR, and for the price difference, their products are as good or even better than Spigen. Smoothest screen protectors ive used
Just upgraded from the 12 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max 256 GB in white titanium. Definitely a big upgrade and so many welcome improvements. If you have a 12 or older, definitely consider upgrading. The 6.9 inch 120 hz screen with dynamic island and these tiny bezels looks amazing!
Jumped from the 15 Pro to the 16 Pro Max. Got about ~5-6 hours of screen on time with Always On Display and Background Refresh turned off on the 15 Pro. Now I’m getting 12+ hours of screen on time with the 16 Pro Max! It was worth the upgrade for me.
Nice about damn time you released this review. Although I already bought the 16 pro max and I really like it more than my 13 pro max so far. Better battery, camera, 4k120, USB-C charging. It's a substantial upgrade.
The battery on the 16 pro max is a monster. Had the 16 pro and was barley getting 5 hours of screen time (mainly Spotify podcast and some use of social media) returned it for the 16 pro max, the phone is also huge but well worth it just in battery life alone, I’ll go a 1.5 days without a charge.
as usual, fantastic video. Love taking food shots at restaurants and sharing it on Google Maps-so thanks for the heads up with the new camera features.
This ‘a day with the iphone’ format is really great where it gives an insight on what one can expect from the new iPhone in real world. Also great editing man! Really like effects that you add.
I was an Android user (with high-end phones every year) up until the Galaxy S22 Ultra. I’m talking about installing custom ROMs to improve performance, using apps like Greenify, ROM Toolbox, Tasker, Xposed Framework, SuperSU, Disk Digger, etc., for automation. I got tired of all that time wasted on customizing, automating, and tinkering with the phone every day just to make it work 100%. That's why I decided to switch to iOS with an iPhone 16 Pro Max. I just want my phone to work, and work well, without worrying about pointless optimizations. I'm very happy with the device and don't plan to return to Android as long as my financial situation allows it. Of course, I’ll change my device every 4 or 5 years. No brand offers true innovations or useful changes in their current annual upgrade cycle, whether it's Apple, Xiaomi, Samsung, etc.
I upgraded from a Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro to a Black Titanium iPhone 16 Pro Max. I love the Dynamic Island, Action Button and Camera Control, and the bigger size feels great. I love Apple Intelligence as I am using iOS 18.2 Beta and it is useful but only from time to time. The rounded edges and titanium frame feels WAY better than the fingerprint-y stainless steel and sharp edges. The 8-15 hour battery life can get me through 1 and a half days, and the cameras with a 48 MP Main and Ultra-wide (which means better macro) is better than 12 MP cameras, but I’ll upgrade from the 16 Pro Max when Apple introduces a 24 or 48 MP telephoto camera.
Jud my Man U done it again I absolutely positively love these freaking types of videos I look forward to it every time a new phone comes out I consider these ur very best videos ever created thanks again u didn’t disappoint
I got the ESR screen protector and it is crazy easy to apply. Wasn’t a fan of the camera lens protectors though. My battery life on my 16 pro max is amazing. Full day battery life with lite gaming right now cause life is busy. Can’t wait to travel with it and really game.
oh man..30% battery at around 1pm..a little worse than expected! i was actually hoping at least around 45% at that time. although there was a lot of photo taking and video recording. anyway thanks for the real day in the life video man. got to see the full potential of the new iphone "beast"
Gotta admit this wasn’t a fair day. We shot a ton of videos and photos. I’m actually really impressed with the battery that day considering how much work it did.
I’m not sure if you figured it out yet, but to get on screen controls while using camera control button, you need to turn off “clear preview” in the camera settings
Great review. I got mine today.. but haven’t opened it. I have a 14 pro max 1tb with a shellrus screen protector and a pitaka mag ez case.. really tempted to return the 16pm and wait for the 17 because the changes are so very incremental. I only ordered it because my term was about to end but I think I’ll keep it. As a heavy photo/camera user I do like the 48 wa lens change and the 4k 120.
I have a iPhone XR and I was finally planning to get this phone. Now people are saying to wait for the iPhone 17 cause it’s going to be better. Should I wait another year or should I buy this phone?
I’m getting like 9-12 hours screen on time on the 16 Pro Max when I’m not taking a bunch of photos. With always on display turned on and a lot of background activity too
i switch to the new pro max each year, and since the 13 PM , this one feels more like just a little upgrade, so i'll keep my 15 PM , and send back my 16 PM to Apple. what i noticed is 16 PM is way better efficient even with AOD on , compared to the 15 PM , i did tests , and after hours of Kart Riders Rush + on both and the 15PM was at 50% after the test , but the 16 PM was at 72% ( my 15 PM battery health is 96% ) . + the bigger screen in height makes the phone feels more like a phablet than the regular 15 PM , the 16 PM is just a few mm taller, but it weird cos you notice it each time you switch to it . but the rest is meh, same screen, but yeah the 16 PM can do darker to 1 nit. speackers are same volume overall but a bit more depth in the 16 PM but it's anedoctal , same with camera control , not sure this button will stay long... imho the 16 PM is great if you come from a 12 PM or 13 PM or 14 PM , but compared to a 15 PM where Apple intelligence already works also on 18.1 the changes are minimal this year.
Every time you tried showing us the screen the reflection was so crazy made me think of the Samsung screen and that non reflective feature now I see why it's a thing
I have watched 100s of reviews of different youtubers of different regions. And none other than you the only one have suggested to upgrade from iPhone 15 Pro series whereas others are suggesting only iPhone 14 or olders to upgrade.
Instead of watching the game, I'm going to do some content consumption. "Hey buddy, what'cha doin?" "Content consumption for now, food consumption a little later, then some sleep consumption."
6:56 at that close range, even though you have 5x selected, you are effectively using the main lens, cropped at 5x times, because the telephoto lens cannot focus that close.

Where did you get your MagSafe charging cord from????
ESR must’ve spending good money for these creators to endorse their products, almost every video I’ve seen is showing their products.
Not gonna hold you. I love em. Bought by accident and bought for my second phone instantly.
they were always the just as good brand that was cheaper than Spigen and it looks like they still kind of are

@@lamar310 groundbreaking take. He literally said the episode is sponsored by esr.

I did the exact same
Just did the same. Loved my 12 Pro Max but excited for the 16 Pro Max. Transferring data now :D
upgraded from iphone se 2nd gen to 16 pro max
The pro versions of the iPhones are very nice, but after a month of having bought the pro max I must say that I am very happy
Me too, at first I thought I was paying too much but over time I was happy with my purchase, I just need a case other than the silicone ones
I took a chance on the Vionentus Elites because they are made of leather and that was what finally convinced me.
Just got my first16 pro max went from 11 pro max. So far like the phone alot! Got a series 10 watch as well!
Jumped from the 15 Pro to the 16 Pro Max. Got about ~5-6 hours of screen on time with Always On Display and Background Refresh turned off on the 15 Pro. Now I’m getting 12+ hours of screen on time with the 16 Pro Max! It was worth the upgrade for me.
Don’t lie yourselves please
@@romen5169don’t cope with yourself please
So it’s basically the 13 pro max
Here before the title changed from iPhone 16 pro max rea day final 😭😭😭
So that why the video was tweaking, I was able to click on it but not watch 💀
iphone 16 pro max rea day final
What?
@@squidsofty8507 That was the original title of the video until it was changed later.
iphone 16 pro max rea day final
12:37 go into camera settings > camera controls and turn off clean preview. This will always show camera controls and won’t hide them.
I see you wrote this before me so i dont have too😉✌️
Cool thanks!
This!
This is why the comment section exists! Thanks!
@UrAvgConsumer what is the name of the game your playing?
"if it aint broke don't fix it" the perfect statement for apple phones since 11 pro
“Dessert titanium” 😋
He needs AI to spell correctly 😂
I absolutely love this new 16 Pro Max
What does it for you?
Nice about damn time you released this review. Although I already bought the 16 pro max and I really like it more than my 13 pro max so far. Better battery, camera, 4k120, USB-C charging. It's a substantial upgrade.

No point in reviewing the 30th anniversary ps5 pro, since 99% of us can’t even get it cause the bots bought them all
Gone so quick
as usual, fantastic video. Love taking food shots at restaurants and sharing it on Google Maps-so thanks for the heads up with the new camera features.
I have the 12 and the 16 really doesn’t look any different! But I’m my phone has been tweaking out a lot lately. I’m excited though
I always thought ESR was a lowkey brand that wasn't good but after ordering one for myself, I was mindblown at the strength of the MagSafe case
This ‘a day with the iphone’ format is really great where it gives an insight on what one can expect from the new iPhone in real world. Also great editing man! Really like effects that you add.
Glad to see you still doing your thing brotha. Well wishes to you and the family.

Welcome to the team. Its mostly a breeze on this side 😎
What is the clock widget he is using cause it looks pretty sick
I was finna ask the same thing. It kinda looks like the Nike watch faces on the Apple Watch. I wonder if it’s the same thing but for the phone.
Another comment said it’s called widgy
And it’s called vitamatrix in the app
Maybe it contracted Covid
your reviews are awesome man! thanks for showing the quirks and features off the phone. it definitely looks like a master piece.
seriously bro I waited for your video ,every time new phone arrive I just watch your video and it helps a lot thanks keep it up
Are you doing a real day in the life for the regular 16 pro?

The whole video and it’s vibe is so good! 😍
That smile at the end. 👌🏾
Where is your case from?
The video quality looks straight 🔥🔥🔥

I love all your content
Damn, bro slipped all of the Android drops this year but had to drop that new iPhone vid 😮
How come you guys got your iPhone 16s faster, I ordered mine September 19 but it hasn’t arrived yet
Every time you tried showing us the screen the reflection was so crazy made me think of the Samsung screen and that non reflective feature now I see why it's a thing
That Pikachu charging brick is SICK. Just wish it didn't cost 2.5x the price as the regular version from Anker 😭
I NEEDED THIS REVIEW
Esr cases are really good
We need a video about that home screen with the weather looking widget or whatever it is
Here before the title is fixed
Damn not original at all 😢
Background Kinda fire what app is that that tells the time
Can you do a DAY IN THE LIFE video with the IPhone 16 plus ?
Great vid... i would say to review as it comes out of the box. Not with beta
I have watched 100s of reviews of different youtubers of different regions.
And none other than you the only one have suggested to upgrade from iPhone 15 Pro series whereas others are suggesting only iPhone 14 or olders to upgrade.
Im on youtube watching all of these iphone 16 pro max videos waiting on mine to come in. Kinda sad the ship date isn't until october 23rd...
Laughed at the 6:08 mark because don't iPhones use Sony sensors or whatever for their cameras? Lol
Think they do still
That pikachu charging block. 💛💛💛
Hi brother many thanks for your a truthful review, wish power bank brand is it i really like it
Bro do a video of you phone set up, widgets and all, settings and things like that, also why doesn’t my 16 pro max has a siri like yours ?
Y’all spelled Desert wrong lol. Yall out dessert.
Please don’t eat the iPhone
Hey Jud u can also install the public beta of 18.1 it might be more stable for u if u have any issues with the developer version
what widget do you use for that home screen clock 🤩
the camera is beyond perfect
7:27 Kratos definitely doesn’t stand a chance 😂😂
upgrade:
from 11: yes
from 12: rather yes
from 13: rather no
from 14: no
from 15: HEEELLLLL NOOO
Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬 ❤❤
Idc what people say coming from the iPhone 14 Pro Max I’m loving my iPhone 16 Pro Max 😊.
Instead of watching the game, I'm going to do some content consumption. "Hey buddy, what'cha doin?" "Content consumption for now, food consumption a little later, then some sleep consumption."
Just watched awesome review! I love mine! Dessert 512GB

Shoutout to those Bylt Basics pants!! Love Bylt

Same man the new photos app is so messy. They need to make it better ASAP
Now I agree with that first statment you made, if it aint broke dont fix it 👍👍👍
