Transcripts

hm new iPhones what do we think well

I'll tell you what I think this is the

16 Pro this is the pro Max and I must

admit when I came out of the Apple press

conference when they unveiled these and

got Hands-On I was a little bit

underwhelmed I think a lot of us were

and I think realistically this should be

considered like an S Series phone like

they used to do it's like the tick

rather than the Tock of upgrade Cycles

but having spent a bit of time with this

now while all the headlines were talking

about this new camera control button and

this desert color I don't care about all

that what I do care about is the

incredible battery life this is

significantly better than before also

the photography modes which actually

make these cameras a whole lot better if

you're happy to Tinker and play around

and get used to it to give you a quick

overview of what is new with these 16

Pros we have bigger screens both are 2

in bigger so 6.3 and 6.9 we have tougher

more shatter resistant glass they've

changed up the chemistry of this ceramic

Shield as they call it for the glass on

the screen we have the new camera

control button we have new camera

hardare sare including the 48 map Ultra

wide lens as well as a faster sensor on

the main camera new camera features such

as photography Styles which will

definitely dive into in a second we can

now shoot 4K 120 for super sexy high red

slow-mo we have the new audio mix tool

and combined with the studio mics which

are exclusively on the new Pro Series

you can actually get quite a

significantly better audio from your

iPhone of course we have a new chip this

is powered by the a18 pro we also have

better internal cooling thanks to a new

aluminium graphite substructure thing

which basically means less throttling

great for gamers we have Wi-Fi 7 and a

new modem for faster mobile data speeds

then there is Apple intelligence

although you're not going to get it

straight away you would probably know

that if you've bought one but uh this is

actually running on the beta software so

I can play around with it but all the

writing tools and supercharged Siri and

image playground and gen emojis and that

stuff officially will be launching in

October but only in US English although

you can change your language to us

English and get it then although I don't

think that will work in the EU or in

China for British English and other

varieties of English uh it'll be

December with more countries coming next

year so apple is definitely playing cat

chop here versus Galaxy Ai and Gemini

and it is a bit frustrating that one of

the key headline upgrades of the new 16

series because only the 16 series and

the 15 Pros will support apple

intelligence that it's not ready yet but

it will be coming soon

and most important of all a new color

this is Desert the color dour if you

will I've also got the uh 16 Pro here in

natural titanium what I did think though

if I bring in my iPhone 11 Pro Max from

5 years ago four years ago this is gold

this is Desert and in the right lighting

it's not too far apart it's like a

slightly more muted version and actually

while I was looking at the 11 Pro Max it

did kind of strike me at least on the

face of it how not a whole lot has

changed over the past four or five years

obviously we have better cameras faster

chips faster screens thinner bezels but

holding the two side by side you know

opening apps just swapping around doing

everyday stuff it does kind of put into

context why some people are feeling a

little bit frustrated by the lack of

innovation but then again there's only

so much you can do with a black

rectangular slab of glass unless you're

going to make it Flip or fold and while

I do enjoy reviewing those uh Android

flip phones and different form factors

at the end of the day I think most still

want to go for one of these especially

as it doesn't make it stupidly expensive

it is still very expensive though but

actually the good news is no price

change the 16 Pro starts at $9.99 that's

in pound and dollars with the pro max if

I canot scratch the screens uh starts at

200 more than that

$1.99 however this only gets 128 base

storage this gets 256 and given the fact

that you can shoot 4K 120 and PR res and

play around with photography modes and

maybe shooting Pro raw to really take

advantage of that 48 megap Ultra wide

then would definitely recommend oping

the storage to 256 cost 100 quid to do

so which means then it's only 100

between them really it's going to come

down to what size you want so let's talk

about the design because actually for

the first time in a while actually there

is no difference between these guys in

terms of specs exactly the same camera

exactly the same processor except for as

I say a lower base storage amount the

main differences between these guys are

of course the size 6.3 versus 6.9 in and

I actually think that little bump from

6.1 to 6. 3 on the 16 Pro makes this the

best siiz phone for I would say most

people the downside is the battery

doesn't last quite as long and I'll show

you my full battery comparison in just a

second but the 16 Pro Max is a really

big phone it's about six GRS heavier

than last year and a tiniest bit wider

but mostly a little bit taller so it can

result in a little bit of finger

gymnastics which actually I'm doing more

so than ever because of this new camera

control button but you can also do this

and just swipe down at the bottom uh so

you can reach the top there for me I'm a

pro Max kind of guy I want the longest

battery possible I want the biggest

screen possible because I also watch TV

shows and movies on here especially when

I'm traveling and also doing bits of

editing to photos and I'm used to it but

I would still recommend the 16 Pro it's

just much more comfortable to hold uh

and use one-handed it fits in your

pocket more easily and I must admit it

is still a little bit frustrating that

for a pro Max phone with all the

features and bells and whistles

including iOS 18 as you can see I've

customized my home screen here on a 6.9

in screen you still can't have two

appside by side there is no split screen

multitasking how are we in 2024 with

this size phone that's called a pro Max

and you can't have two appside by side

and know it's not the end of the world

just a bit frustrating oh on quick SL

note I will be doing a separate review

video for the regular 16 and the 16 plus

I actually think spoiler alert these are

the most significant upgrades still held

back a little bit by 60 HZ but for 799 I

think the 16 especially in this Ultra

Marine color although I really like the

pink as well make sure you hit that

subscribe button and it will be coming

in in a few days or maybe it'll be

already up by the time you watch this

who knows I'll tell you what though the

most impressive thing about this whole

new generation of iPhones the battery

life let's just Dive Right In and I

actually made an entire battery

comparison video which took me forever

to make now sadly as you can see there

is one iPhone missing the 16 plus didn't

actually arrive in time for this video

but of the three new iPhones I do have

versus the three predecessors and most

of the Android competition we are

actually seeing a marked improvement in

battery so bigger batteries but also

with this second generation 3 NM a18 Pro

chip try saying that three times fast

it's more efficient as well because last

year's 15 Pro actually came last in my

test here but the new 16 Pro lasted

almost an hour longer but even better

the 16 Pro Max lasted over 2 hours

longer than the 15 Pro Max like I'm

telling you the 15 Pro Max was already

pretty good for battery life but this is

just next level up for example I would

normally finish the day with about maybe

25% of my battery left on the 15 Pro Max

now it's more like 35 36% obviously

there are a ton of variables there but

just to give you an idea you coming from

your phone you've been using for two 3 4

years to a new phone with a fresh

battery you're immediately going to get

a much better battery life because of

the condition of this new battery but in

my battery test I'm using a fresh 15 Pro

Max with 100% battery health they all

have 100% and it still lasted

significantly longer as to say 2 hours

longer but wait there's more because if

you fancy spending even more money you

can buy Apple's new 30 W charging brick

as well as their new wireless charging

pad or is it puug I figet what they call

it but either way if you do combine the

new adapter with a new wireless charger

it can now support 25 W wireless

charging getting you to 50% of your

battery in around 30 to 35 minutes in

terms of wire charging the wattage

hasn't changed however it will charge

faster than last year in previous

iPhones while you're doing something

like gaming so basically the new iPhones

can charge at the same normal speed but

now while you're using it as

well now speaking of speed that's very

loud bird this is Assassin's Creed

Mirage the new 16 Pros use the new a18

Pro chip whereas the regular 16s use the

a18 which actually is a two generation

jump for these guys 16 to the 18 whereas

we've gone from the 17 Pro to the 18 Pro

on these now performance has never been

an issue with iPhones they've been

incredibly fast for a few years in fact

and if we have a quick look at a couple

of benchmarks uh in Gig bench 6 we're

looking at about an 18% faster CPU for

the Pros versus last year although about

27% faster for the 16 versus the 15 and

in this quite demanding 3D Mark solar

Bay test we're looking at a 13% optic

for the graphics although a whopping 60%

optic for the regular 16 versus last

year all new iPhones have improved the

cooling and The Thermals and

specifically on the Pro Models we have

this new graphite aluminium structure

internally so we are getting slightly

less throttling and also it did stay a

touch cooler on the outside around 1 to

1 and a half de C cooler funly enough

though this Assassin's Creed Mirage does

still stutter I get frame drops but

aside from that everything you play on

this as you expect and also basically on

last year's phone as well will run

flawlessly genin never drops below 60

War Thunder is either 119 or 120 with

Ray tracing so versus the 15 Pros it's

maybe not a significant upgrade in terms

of graphics and performance but

certainly if you're coming from an older

iPhone and just for some gigs I thought

I'd run a couple of the tests on the 11

Pro Max as well and the new one is three

four times faster one more thing about

speed though because all iPhone 16s the

regulars and the pros uh now support

Wi-Fi 7 uh you probably don't have a

Wi-Fi 7 router I actually do I'm like

probably one of the five people in the

world who actually has one right now uh

but you know over time you'll probably

upgrade and you'll get better smoother

more consistent Wi-Fi going forward but

also we have a new modem I believe it's

the Qualcomm x75 and last year on the

15s we have the x70 it doesn't really

matter what it's called because I went

around my local City of Bristol ran a

bunch of speed test on last year's 15

Pro Max and the new one and it was

consistently faster particularly the

download

speeds can we talk about this it's the

new camera control button Apple's just

adding buttons left right and Center

we've got five now we've got the action

button two volumes the power and the

camera control and this actually is also

on the regular phones in fact the sixs

have both the action and the camera

control and essentially it's another

short cut for the camera so I can either

press once or double press as I've

changed it to because I kept

accidentally turning it on and switching

to the camera so with a double press it

opens the camera I can press again take

a picture or I can hold it down to start

shooting a video although when you do

hold it down to record video you can see

up the top there it is recording because

normally when you press record it goes

to this little small square but if I do

it via the camera control it doesn't

just a small thing now generally the

camera

control it's a bit honestly sometimes

it's been kind of cool to play around

with and double press and then enjoy the

haptic feedback and the little swish

animations that they've added other

times it's just got in the way I've

accidentally pressed it and maybe like

changed the depth or the exposure of an

image and it's just been distracting or

I'm trying to figure out what I actually

want to use it for I think I've settled

on the cameras options so I can switch

between the different Zoom levels but if

I'm honest it just feels like Apple's

running out of ideas a bit they thought

oh what can we do to make the 16 series

stand out or let's add another button

that does what you could already do on

the screen or indeed what you could

already do with the action button which

would start the camera or even the

volume down which also acts as a shutter

there's so many different ways of

opening the camera I appreciate this

goes a step further and you can swipe

around change the Styles and the depth

and some of you may absolutely love it

and think it's the best thing since

slice bread for me I could take it or

leave it to be honest I suppose one

thing it does do is free up the action

button because I think Apple said that

3/4s of people had the action button set

to the camera Cera now I can free it up

and put it back to silent so basically

back to the toggle switch it's always

been but to free up the action button

for maybe accessibility features or a

shortcut for an app that is useful to

have back and it doesn't get in the way

you can just turn it off if you want uh

you don't have to use the camera control

but it's there and it's worth having a

play around with but it's not a reason

to rush out and buy an iPhone 16

although when Apple intelligence does

finally launch it will also have this

visualization feature kind of like a

Google Lens so you can just press the

camera control and it will scan what's

in the scene and then tell you more

about it it's still three lenses we have

the main the ultra wide and the

telephoto the 5x telephoto is the same

regardless of which size phone you go

for last year we had the 3x now they

both share the same 5x no change there

actually uh we also have a new main

sensor it's basically the same sensor

but a little bit faster and so if you're

shooting at Full Resolution you know Pro

raw shots then the shotto shot speed is

noticeably faster there's less shutter

lag but in everyday use you not really

going to see any difference we do also

have a new ultrawide camera this is 48

megapixels op from 12 megapixels last

year so quite a bump there lovely macro

shot I've got here we shot at 48

megapixels Pro raw also because of the

high resolution they can now use their

quad pixel binning four pixels into one

basically to slightly improve low light

performance for example if you look at

the sand lines in my little table there

but then also the new iPhone 16s

generally are oversharpening a bit more

than last year so that could just be

down to the processing in the I P I

don't think the new Ultra wide is a

significant

upgrade all iPhone 16s also have a new

lens coating to help reduce lens flare

which I feel like they say this every

year but in my little side by-side test

versus the 15 Pro Max I can't see a

significant difference that little green

ghost is still following me around

perhaps it's been reduced a little bit

but it's not significant and I have to

say overall I'm not that impressed with

the improvements the upgrades with the

pros camera system if I show you a

couple of photos versus last year's 15

Pro Max they look very similar what

would basically seeing are slightly more

muted colors perhaps but they've also

made their smart HDR even more

aggressive I mean look at my purple

lights in the corner they're just

completely flat now we've lost some of

that texture that we do see on the

iPhone 15s and also just genuinely

across all the lenses it feels like

they've opt the sharpness by I don't

know 20% or something and it photos

while still very good just aren't

significantly better and in some cases

because of this extra oversharpening I

feel like perhaps it's even a slight

downgrade don't get me wrong the iPhone

16 Pro's camera is still very good but

it's all relative compared to the

competition I think we're seeing more

Innovation with 1-in sensors from xiaomi

and Oppo and other brands my camera

comparison most people thought the

Samsung came out on top although you

have to be careful of a fanboyism I

suppose it's more that we just perhaps

expected more from a new generation of

iPhones and really it's more of the same

just with extra features is on

top but I have saved the best to last

because with the new iPhone 16s you can

now shoot in spatial video and photo so

you can get your Apple Vision Pro and no

you're not doing that what you probably

will use though and play around with are

these new photography Styles I see knew

this actually launched a year or two ago

but I never actually ended up using the

photography Styles however with the new

iPhone 16s and this is the same for the

bass ones and also the pros they've

massively revamped it and this is

probably

the most significant upgrade with the

iPhone 16s it really is because

essentially it allows you to get away

from the iPhone look of a photo you can

bring the Shadows back in you can change

the skin tones the moods now unlike a

regular filter that you may apply in

Instagram or in Lightroom afterwards

that just sits on top of the photo this

is a much more advanced kind of smart

filter it is as they would say

non-destructive so you can add remove

edit and your original standard iPhone

looking photo will always still be there

now if I get right in close here try a

little live demo so this is the regular

camera app nothing's changed here but up

here you've got this little symbol this

is very hard to do in Reverse which

brings up the photography Styles and

you've got this little d-pad control

panel there now if I swipe up you can

see there's a selection of these

undertones it says undertones up there

which kind of changes my skin tone a

little bit you can change the intensity

of it there but then if you go the other

way you have a selection of moods which

changes more substantially the overall

aesthetic of the photo including some

black and white options there and then

you can fine-tune it with this little

two AIS control panel which adjusts the

shadows and the intensity of the colors

and you can also reduce the overall

intensity of I'm still going to call it

a filter even if it is an advanced

filter now the first thing that will

happen when you open the camera with

your shy new iPhone 16 is that it will

introduce you to these photography

Styles and it'll also ask you to pick

four of your favorite photos it doesn't

really matter what they are but

essentially photos that you like but

it's so it can then give you a preview

of the different undertones and moods to

try and figure out what you want and

then when you've chosen it that will be

your default photo style but as I say

this can be edited added removed at any

point in the process of taking the photo

or editing it afterwards essentially

Apple are giving us more control to take

the photos that we like which as I say

feels very unapp like but it is nice and

it unlocks what is very good camera

hardware and allows you to make it more

more personal and this also applies to

the selfie camera which is good because

otherwise there is absolutely no change

to this 12 me pix true depth selfie

camera and to be honest in my camera

comparison I think the iPhone comes last

out of these guys in terms of the selfie

camera although having these photo

styles for the selfie is quite nice

although I don't find myself playing

around with it as much simply because I

just don't think the selfie camera is

that good what else is new well we can

now shoot 4K 120 which actually is quite

nice to play with although I think this

is mostly aimed at creators I don't

think the average person is going to

want to shoot 120 FPS very often but it

does allow you to slow it down to half

or quarter speed and get some really

high quality sexy slow motion and

they've made it incredibly easy to

adjust this playback speed in the

edit let's do a little test of audio Mi

so I'm in uh Market day here we've got a

little burger stand behind me this is

just standard audio but then if I switch

to in frame it should start blocking out

what's basically not in the frame you

also got Studio mode which does a lot

more noise reduction uh and it's

basically to try and make it sound like

your inner Studio like you're recording

a podcast and then you got cinematic

mode which does bring in a bit more of

the Ambient sound but you still got a

little bit of that noise reduction the

best bit though is you don't have to

think about it because it will just

automatically capture in this new

spatial audio although you can turn that

off if you want but only if you actually

want to go in the edit afterwards Tinker

with audio mix switch between standard

inframe Studio or cinematic and then

apply it and then save your video again

and the overall quality is also improved

because we have these new studio mics on

the pro series of phones although audio

mix will be coming to the regular 16s

and the pros but for the best quality

Pros but putting everything else to the

side the quality of the video the

stabilization The Cinematic video as

well also being able to shoot 4K 120 Pro

res log although you're going to require

an extel hard drive at that point I

still maintain this is the best phone

for video and also just the quality of

uploading to social media from your

phone so for a Creator device I still

think this is the one to go for but in

terms of pure photographic image quality

I think there are better options out

there and if you haven't already checked

out my big iPhone versus Samsung versus

pixel camera comparison definitely going

to have a watch of that after this for

me the biggest upgrades are the battery

life and the photography modes for the

camera but I still very much maintain

this is a 15s Pro Max rather than the 16

Pro Max in terms of overall upgrades

will that change with apple intelligence

maybe we're going to have to revisit

this when uh iOS 18.1 or two perhaps

come out to be honest with you though I

think I'm more excited about iOS 18 I am

Apple intelligence it's actually a

pretty big upgrade for the software you

have customizable home screens you can

move apps around and change the colors

there's a pause button for filming for

recording video like this which is

fantastic you can mirror your iPhone to

your MacBook assuming it's running Mac

OS sooa there's a vehicle in motion uh

detection thing which helps reduce uh

your motion sickness while driving well

not while you're driving while you're

presumably in the passenger seat there's

the new control panel there's the new

flashlight tour which is kind of fun to

play around with there's a ton of

upgrades with iOS 8

but obviously that's not exclusive to

the new models in fact it will come all

the way back to I think the 10s and 10r

so everyone's going to enjoy all those

improvements but it will only be the 15

pros and the 16s that get apple

intelligence eventually so yes they will

come back with a longer term review of

these guys a little bit later in the

year and also make sure you stay tuned

for my full review of the regular 16s

because for my money these are the most

significant upgrade I know they're still

stuck with a 60 HZ screen which is

infuriating for an $800 2020 4/5 phone

but if you can look past that we're

getting a two generational leap in

processor we're getting an improved 48

megap Main camera although the

difference is still quite significant

between them there's bigger sensors on

here so the pros will take better photos

uh but we also get the action button

camera control we get the audio mix we

also have improved cooling with a

redesigned internal structure and I know

it's silly but I just think the colors

are fantastic as well I really like this

ultramarine but let me know what you

make of these new 16 pros and if you are

going to go for one would you go for the

Pro or the pro if you've got any

questions drop a comment below if you

enjoyed the video a like And subscribe

would be fantastic and I'll see you next
