I’m definitely sticking with my 14 Pro for now! 🥳

the most boring iphone update since the xs

 

[Attirex]

J. Clover is in overdrive! Go go go go

 

[McWetty]

Wonder why they didn’t put the 48MP on the telephoto too… I find that needs better clarity than the wide angle. Maybe next year.

 

[Hammerd]

Ok but who want this disappointment of a phone?
16 Pro = 15 Pro with a capture button and 5x zoom instead of 3x. 128GB base. What a joke! Get a discounted 15Pro!
Edit: whoever disagrees tell me what killer feature I missed

 

[randomnut]

Out of interest I checked what my £1199 15 pro max would be worth on apple trade in. £570… less than half its value in a year. Has it really depreciated that much, Apple? Jokers

 

[lakerchick4life]

I wanted to trade in my iphone 13 256GB they said the trade values would be increasing but so far it still says its worth 250 bucks..my phone's battery life is not so good anymore so wanted to upgrade

Given that Apple was highlighting improvements over the 12 series, I'm gonna guess they aren't targeting 15 Pro owners with these.

This always seems to shock people but the vast majority of people do not upgrade yearly.

Through Verizon it would cost me 2.88 a month from my 15 pro and I’m still not interested. Bad year for Apple all the way around.

Wait until you see it’s £570 worth of GIFT CARDS 🥲

I know that thank you it’s just to highlight the fact that it’s a better choice to buy a discounted 15 pro

Same with me and Verizon, I think iOS 18 and Apple Intelligence will hold me over until the 17

Happy there's other people acknowledging the XS was a pathetic update. People got blindsighted by the introduction of the very first Max model.

Well you were one of the very first people to click on a preorder article about it, so seems you are very interested in it. Which one are you ordering??

 

[LuissCM]

When you're part of the iPhone Upgrade Program, you'll find that these updates are much less disappointing 🤣🤣🤣

 

[jdclifford]

My 15 Pro will do nicely.

 

[Kottu]

I am not a yearly adopter so, it's obvious for me to wait until 17. But, with this pace Apple upgrading iPhones, I can wait for iPhone 18 or even 19. I do hope that Apple will change their camera positions by then. I don't want my next iPhone to look just like iPhone 11 Pro.

 

[JustSomeInfo]

When you're upgrading from an Xr, you'll find that this update is much less disappointing 🤣🤣🤣

What are you talking about? The iPhone 16 is designed from the ground up. Tim Cook said so himself.

 

[MetalMatt24]

Up to $1000 trade

goes in website and it says $650 for my 15 pro Max

what BS

Up to $1000 trade is with carrier financing.

 

[Jack Burton]

I'll take a 5x telephoto over a 3x for my uses any day. But My current phone has no telephoto, so anything is an upgrade.

That weird new button is giving me flashbacks to the MBP touchbar - weird tiny functionality in search of a solution. Perhaps it will prove out in time. I can wait to see what people actually say after using it for a few months.

Coming from the 12 Pro I currently have, I certainly want it. Sure, it's only an incremental increase from 15 Pro, but it's still a little more future-proof than the 15 Pro. So if both 15 Pro and 16 Pro were available Friday, I'd still go with 16 Pro.

Yeah, it isn't the first time they do this. In order to get the full credit you may have to do the exchange with a carrier and get bill credits 🙃 I think joining the iPhone Upgrade Program may be the best option in case you want to upgrade after a year since it is the same monthly payment for the 15 or 16 and you still keep the device if you don't plan to upgrade after a year.
