iPhone 16 Pro Was hesitant to upgrade, wish I hadn’t bothered.

The size difference whilst minimal is definitely noticeable. As is the weight. The camera control… wtf? Pointless. Also the lack of decent cases without a massive cutout for the aforementioned control that literally nobody yearned for.

Probably go back to my 15 Pro and send this one back once I can sort my eSIM on the 15 tomorrow.

Shame really, I wanted to like the 16 Pro but it’s such an incremental change and I actually feel they’ve made it worse. I upgraded because I can basically but the faff hasn’t been worth.

Ah well. Wonder what the 17 will bring.

Yeah, agreed... the non-Apple cases that have giant notches in the side are ridiculous looking. I suspect that at least the major vendors (OtterBox, Speck, etc) will eventually transition to the "smart" pass-through control found on the official Apple cases.

I am also hoping that more developers figure out how to take advantage of the camera control, or that Apple eventually extends it's functionality beyond the camera.

Otterbox has already the Lumen case where the camera button is covered.
