Hey Everyone,
Strange as it may sound, I’ve got pretty much every Apple product out there — an iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad, HomePod, AirPods — you name it. But… I don’t have an iPhone 😅 So yeah, I’m a very late entrant to the iPhone bandwagon.
The reason’s simple — the models I’ve always liked fall under the Pro and Pro Max categories, and those are just way too expensive for my budget. But this time around, I’m seriously considering taking the plunge with the iPhone 16 Plus, since that’s the one my wallet can actually handle.
Right now, I’m using a Redmi Note 10 Pro Max, and honestly, Android’s been ahead from iPhone and IOS in some areas for years. For example, it’s only with the iPhone 17 series that Apple decided to give all models a ProMotion (120Hz) display — till the 16 series, it was reserved for the Pro models only, which is kinda disappointing. Android phones (even mid-range ones) have had 120Hz displays for 5+ years now.
So here’s my main question — coming from a phone that already has a 120Hz AMOLED display, will I really feel the difference when using the iPhone 16 Plus? I’m sure I’ll notice it, but will it be so jarring that I’ll end up regretting my switch, thinking, “Oh man, why does this feel so slow?”
Also, since the 16 Plus doesn’t have an OLED display (again, Apple reserves that for the Pro models 🙄), I’m wondering if that makes a big difference in day-to-day use. I’ve heard the 16 Plus display still looks amazing, but would love to hear some real-world feedback.
Might just take the plunge tomorrow — but this ProMotion dilemma is the only thing holding me back right now.
Would love to know your thoughts, especially from anyone who switched from a 120Hz Android to a non-Pro iPhone!
