Why do the colors have to be so bland on the Pro phones compared to the base models? That teal would look good on the Pro models and add some much needed color to the line
The features on the iPhone 16 Pro that I am most looking forward to at launch are: 4 hours more battery life, improved wide-angle camera, expanded and non-destructive photographic styles, slightly larger screen with 1 nit minimum brightness, and WiFi 7. They may not be earth-shattering, but they are definitely nice-to-have features that savvy users will notice and appreciate. Stack together 3 or 4 years of cumulative updates – which is what most people experience as most people do not and should not upgrade their phone every year – and upgrading to the iPhone 16 will be pretty sweet for most people. It remains to be seen whether the Camera Control will be useful, or something that nobody uses and Apple eventually abandons like Force Touch or the Touch Bar. As for Apple Intelligence – that also remains to be seen – but if Siri finally stops being worthless and gains even a fraction of the capility of ChatGPT, then I would consider that a major upgrade over previous iPhones.
So I have the iPhone 14 Plus and was wondering if it’s even worth the upgrade? Since the AI features aren’t available right away then I think I can wait and just get the 17. I just want to hear others opinions.
Both of your arguments are missing o big point each. 1. iPhone users expect a premium experience which all of this tiering, upsells and those annoying ads in app stores and For You largely undermine. 2. True, customers shouldn't buy on a promise of a feature but I'd would go even further and require for that feature or any other feature on the device that's a selling point not to be conditioned on an account anywhere, such as iCloud or Apple ID. That makes said fearures remotely removable and forced automatic updates are there as enforment policies, not for the user's benefit anymore.
It exist because it's September. Apple users are all be mind controlled to believe they got the best newest innovations. When androids been have features that exists a long time ago. Truthfully their cameras are worse. Is just apps prefer taking photos from Apple products over and Android ones. If we're doing just side by side taking photos. Android is superior. There's nothing new about it. Just new on the iPhone that is late.
People giving Apple a pass for 60Hz display on a 800$ phone are precisely the kind of people consumers like me and you should be vary about. Just mega boycott iPhone 16/16 plus and tank their sales charts. And you will see them slap that 120Hz display in iPhone 17.
I will not buy an $800 device that does not have Pro Motion and $400 devices have this feature in Android devices.. In addition to the fact that Type C is very slow unlike what comes in Android devices that are much cheaper
And I will not buy a $1100 device that I do not need all its features
Year after year Apple does not push me to move to iPhone.. I will stick with Android for another year and we will see
Don't sell me an $800 phone with a screen refresh that is still 60 Hz and there are $350 phones from Samsung, Xiaomi and Oppo that have 120 Hz.. Stop being greedy Apple
The only company that calls the screen refresh rate "Pro" is Apple only!! So that you feel that it is a feature that cannot be in the regular iPhone as if it is giving it to people for free! This phone costs $800 and is not cheap in America, especially outside America. In Egypt and the Middle East it may reach $1000 and there is no special convenient installment that Apple gives to the American citizen. If it is a deal for Americans, it is not a deal for the rest of the world.
I feel like Apple isn’t meant to be upgraded every year it’s meant for everyone with a phone 3-4 generations behind to upgrade. I have a first gen iPad still running, 4 year old air pods still going and 13 pro max that I just replaced the battery.
I’ll be honest.. I ordered the Apple Watch 10 GPS/Cellular in Jet, Gloss black in 46MM. I’m a person who is big on design. Yes, I bought the Ultra in 2022 because of a different design, and they were $699 I believe. Yes, it looks just about the same as the older, regular watches only bigger. But this is not only bigger, but thinner. The glass is more rounded in a way that you can view it on an angle more better. I also ordered the AirPods 4 with ANC. I had the Gen 2 version of AirPods that came out and I purchased in 2019 I believe. I liked the feel of them just because they were a familiar design and feel without the wires. Thought about going AirPods Pro in 2022, but they were shipping so far out and at the same time, Beats Fit Pro came out which were the AirPods Pro 2, just with the beats name and logo, beats designed and no wireless charging case. But it had ANC and I absolutely love that feature. And… They weee $50 bucks cheaper than the AirPods Pro2. Now that I’m going back to the Apple AirPods, I’m just curious how I’m gonna love them since they got a redesign a few years back. Pretty much paid no attention when it came to the phone for reasons talked about in this video and again, same design that dates back the 12 series. Overall.. The Special Event was meh to me, and I’m probably sure there are others that feel the same way too. But again for me, the Series 10 and the AirPods 4 with ANC was the highlight for me. Happy shopping everyone.✌🏼
Nothing justifies the price and value of the iPhone 13,14,15 and especially the 16. It's the same phone for flagship pricing with mediocre mid range specs and value. You're paying 400-500 euros for an apple logo. Well done if you bought one of those phones, you've played yourself
I'm just going to say that the AirPods have been behind it feels like with some of their features. Adaptive audio of have been on earbuds for a little bit of time for example the Sony Link Buds S. They're great earbuds pair with everything and also have adaptive noise cancellation / you can set it up where it changes whenever you are talking to somebody. So AirPods are not the best choice anymore I feel like.
Apple focus to much on these colors Like we can’t just order a case with a design and color of our choice They need to take a year off and think about new designs and useful features
More affordable than Pro version, better color selection, camera good enough for most users. These will also be the bargain phones late 2025. The previous Pro models are discontinued every year.
So why did they not colour match the Watch 10 to the new Pro colour with the matching mesh band in the same colour? Dessert Flatulence is the titanium colour we want.
I plan on getting a pro max to replace my 14 pro max, but I am waiting 5-6 months, or however long it takes for all the features to be released. I hope the camera is worth it because that is my only complaint with my 14, especially when I came from the cameras on the Samsungs.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Apple charges you for the box too.
Skip iphone get a Pixel instead
Guy with the hat sounds like Chris from family guy.
Samsung AI is compatible even in 3 year old phones…..which means apple is just lying
Tech reviewers are jaded and out of touch. iphone 16 is sick, definitely worth the upgrade from the 14

Apple are so lazy and just rely on the customers "must have" needs. Lazy design lazy upgrades and falling behind.
If you want great noise cancellation, get the first gen AirPods Max!
No iPhone mini, no buy.

As someone that doesn’t care Apple Intelligence. I think I’m just going to buy a normal 15.
60hz in 2024 is a joke.
Really. I thought it’s almost the opposite. Why do we need the pro phones this year. The 16 has almost all the same features.
They when back to the 11 camera
All m1 iPads and above are getting ai..!!! And it’s more fun to edit on iPad than on iPhone
Apple is a financial company now, no more innovations.
I really hate when Austin claims they've added a few small things, cut back on a lot, and still say it's worth it
I have a iphone 12 Pro max Should i get the iphone 16 Pro?

The lens returns to the iPhone X design, nothing new
I have a 13 Pro Max. Is the 16 Pro or Pro Max worth the upgrade?
Man compared to google 9 that’s a massive upgrade in every aspect but the screen on the regular
I feel like Apple isn’t meant to be upgraded every year it’s meant for everyone with a phone 3-4 generations behind to upgrade. I have a first gen iPad still running, 4 year old air pods still going and 13 pro max that I just replaced the battery.

Hieroglyphics!
Last year I upgraded from the 13pro max to the 15 pro max and and even as a fan of tech I haven’t noticed much of a real life difference.
Stupid Apple.
Nothing justifies the price and value of the iPhone 13,14,15 and especially the 16. It's the same phone for flagship pricing with mediocre mid range specs and value. You're paying 400-500 euros for an apple logo. Well done if you bought one of those phones, you've played yourself
If you are using ip14 or older, the latest ip16 will be a good upgrade.
The colors saved the design but it’s still ugly
broke vs pro new video anytime soon?
I'm just going to say that the AirPods have been behind it feels like with some of their features. Adaptive audio of have been on earbuds for a little bit of time for example the Sony Link Buds S. They're great earbuds pair with everything and also have adaptive noise cancellation / you can set it up where it changes whenever you are talking to somebody. So AirPods are not the best choice anymore I feel like.
Apple focus to much on these colors
Like we can’t just order a case with a design and color of our choice
They need to take a year off and think about new designs and useful features
Hu ha, I got the 15 pro max, don’t have to upgrade
More affordable than Pro version, better color selection, camera good enough for most users. These will also be the bargain phones late 2025. The previous Pro models are discontinued every year.
Was actually looking forward to a flip version
It's like buying a lambo, with the body of a Nissan Altima and tires rated for max. 80MPH. Pretty stupid if you ask me lol
Apple Watch Ultra's design is bad? Austin basically ranting for the sake of ranting.
15:30 – "I am not giving Apple a pass"! And? Who cares about your pass? Or any tech reviewer/reactionist passes? They still will make record sales.
So why did they not colour match the Watch 10 to the new Pro colour with the matching mesh band in the same colour? Dessert Flatulence is the titanium colour we want.
I plan on getting a pro max to replace my 14 pro max, but I am waiting 5-6 months, or however long it takes for all the features to be released. I hope the camera is worth it because that is my only complaint with my 14, especially when I came from the cameras on the Samsungs.
This is why I am on the Fibonacci upgrade program. I will move from the 13 pro to the 21 pro, maybe the 34 pro.
My G/f keeps calling the new Pro colour Dessert Flatulence! She misses the blue. I'm giving her my iPhone 13 Pro so she can have a Pro Blue phone.
" The most advanced iphone ever " tired of hearing this every year since iphone 3 till 16 every year 😂
