You can think whatever you want. But the weight was the first thing I noticed when I picked it up. It is almost 10% heavier.
Got a tip for us?

Thanks ( sigh) , I just tried doing a video 4k 30 and then when I get close to a writing on a box for example it stops recording and freezes all the time. What’s that about ???
Edit. Never mind another common issue.

That’s exactly what I’m talking about. It freezes on the 4k24 and 4k30 video when macro mode is enabled. I use that a lot and I can’t use it on this phone. It was posted here also.

The amount of bootlicking in this thread is absurdly silly.
The weight increase is noticeable. Though the number is small, it is comparatively a significant percentage. Imagine your weight increased from 187 to 199 lbs. You think you wouldn’t notice? Come on, get real now 😂
The extra height is absolutely noticeable. I still have the 15 Pro and when standing them side by side, it is surprisingly significant.
Combined, that also slightly changes the center of gravity when resting on your pinky. All of that together makes it feel heavier.
You don’t need to come at me like I’m attacking your precious baby. I’ve been buying new iPhones almost every year since the 4 and will continue to do so because I like them. But that doesn’t mean facts don’t exist.
Stop embarrassing yourself.
I’m clearly not as sensitive to it but whatever, nothing more to add.
And that’s also okay. But no need to discount others who do notice. Some people don’t mind the heavy monstrosity that was the iPhone 14 Pro. 15 Pro was such an insane improvement weight-wise.
Sorry but I don't buy this. If you're so sensitive with weight, you'd do your research before buying and you'd see the (ridiculous) difference would probably affect you. Like someone said earlier, we all pay for those impulsive buyers who can't control themselves and always have to buy things just for trying it. There's an overall cost that companies consider for the final pricing.
We knew from the start what the phone have to offer. Sorry but so far all those people coming from a 15 and return their 16s are saying stupid excuses that could easily be avoided by reading first. In fact, this whole thread is ridiculous. It's like someone buying a new car and saying it's the same as the last year one they already own and want to return it. You can't be taken seriously.
EDIT : What makes this whole return situation even more pathetic is all those people returns their phone after just one or two days. So basically try and trash it after. They not even try to learn and maybe like their new toy. Just for exemple, at first I really didn't like the camera button and also thought its a gimmick, but after a couple of days when I learned I could launch the modifier glass with it and lower the sensitivity of the button, I really like it and I think it'll be very useful to me.

I upgrade from X🅂 to 16 this year. Similar dimensions and weight, much better chip and camera performance. Battery last much longer than a 100% health battery X🅂.
I love it. And might consider upgrading again when iPhone 20 launches.

I just bought my 15Pro last year after three years with my 8Pro so far i have not seen any real reason to get a 16Pro, maybe later i will see something to change my thinking but now i am just reading what others are posting and waiting there is plenty of time to upgrade if it's really an upgrade.
The most I notice between 15PM to 16PM is battery life, my 15PM was dying around 6-7 pm, now I'll get through the whole day and still have %30-%40 left...
Just because I notice it, doesn’t mean I’m complaining about it or returning my phone because of it. Settle down, people 😂 you guys are so silly.

I just tried this on my 16PM and can’t reproduce the issue. I tried focusing on objects and small print on whatever paper or object I have around my desk. I also tried zooming in and out using all 3 lenses and no problems. What else specifically triggers this?
*Edit- made sure macro control is enabled and used the dial to zoom in and out.

Count your blessing. I didn’t need to do any of that. Just record in 4k 30, whilst recording get close to a box of cereal for example then tap the screen for the iPhone to focus on writing then it’ll turn over in its grave 😂
There must a shed loads of dud iPhones out in the wild then 😂 meaning count yourself lucky.
Amazingly not seeing any of the other issues that have been mentioned out there as well. I'm sure I'll start seeing issues pop up the day after the return / exchange window ends and just jinxed myself 😅.
Weird. Mines not doing today. It would fall over every time last night when doing it. Mine working again 🤣
Edit. Just realized I had HDR ON. It works fine with HDR enabled but not without.
Aha, there it is! Just tried it and I didn't crash, just a lot of freezing, it normalizes after a second or two. Probably a software bug that'll get ironed out. I never shoot in 4K 30 or 24 so it really won't impact me for now.
I'm a person that very much notices and likes the higher refresh rate. However, I've found that once I'm off of it for a week or so, I don't even notice or remember any more (until I use a device that has it again).
thats this person's m/o continually discounts their point of view.. absolute... 78fdas
