Coming from a 16 Pro Max and the main thing I wanted was even better battery life and this is probably the best battery life that I have ever gotten on an iPhone. I am very happy with it. The camera seems improved to me and I love the zoom. At first the new camera placement I was not a fan of but the new design has grown on me and I am used to it now. It also does not get nearly as hot was my 16 Pro Max did probably due to the new cooling. I didn't expect to like this phone more than my 16 Pro Max but I do. Anyone else pleasantly surprised this year?
