I’m switching from the 15 Pro Max to the 16 Pro. While I like the larger screen, the phone is a bit large in a pocket. With the 16 Pro getting a little bigger, perhaps the decrease in screen size won’t be as noticeable.
Geeez, I so wanted to upgrade my 12 pro to get USB C., but I don't think I can justify bang/buck just yet.
Pro should be pro. Glad it is this year, so I'll be upgrading from my 14 Pro. 15 Pro was inferior from the 15 Pro Max, and that was depressing.
Coming from my 13 pro, my big likes are USBC C, satellite connectivity (I travel remote desert roads a lot) and better camera zoom and resolution. I may find that the AI support is well worth it too though I'll have to wait and see on that.
I'm guessing you don't do a lot of photography. The camera upgrades are really the main thing at this point since phones are still phones. I only upgrade for the camera.
Exactly. At least not with the phone. I still think my DSLR produces much better images.
I’ll admit, I feel better when I have shiny new things. Even though it’s not really an investment, I justify it by comparing the features to last year’s model. So when there’s little innovation, it can be a bit frustrating. 😋
Yup, that is why I did not do a 15 pro, the camera package. I really really do not want to go up to a Max…. There has never been a differentiator between the pro and pro max lineup except for battery and screen size. Now that that is back to normal I will pop for the 16 pro.
My wife prefers the Max size. I had to tell her she won't be able to lord any extra features over me this time around
So is it really bigger than the current configuration or is it just a casual rename while keeping the same case size?
Bigger screen and also 256 vs 128z. Worth the 200.
Thank God.
I absolutely hate the segmenting better features for the oversized phones especially now that the base ones are already massive.

Yea, my wife likes the Max size as well, just too big for me. I have a 13 Pro why would I want a Max too 🤷🏼♂️. In fact if they put the 16 pro camera package in a mini pro I would be waiting in line for that puppy Like it was was 2007 all over again…My wife prefers the Max size.

The spectacle of a keynote that was clearly Apple’s magnanimous attempt to cure insomnia has meant I keep my phone yet another year and upgrade my Garmin watch. Appreciate Apple making the choice crystal clear. Cheers Tim!
One thing I noticed is there’s no mention of fine woven cases. I’m OK with this, but I do miss seeing some kind of premium case. I really do miss the leather.
Interesting how storage is not a problem with ProRes feature like 15 model.

Coming from the iphone 15 pro max, I can't decide if I wanna downsize this year and go for the 16 pro, or if I wanna go with the bigger 16 pro max..
The iPhone Pro’s take great images when you consider their size. A DSLR is a huge camera compared to the iPhone and my iPhone is always with me.
it’s really close now. Still shooting with a Canon D5, too much great L glass, and Sony mirrorless. And very rarely with a Large Format for black and white, though It has to be pretty special for me to burn any of my old stock Fotokemika Efke R25…
5d MKII here with a 70-200 L IS f2.8, a 24-70 L 2.8 and a 100mm Macro. And, I don't take very many pictures with that anymore.
