Apple iPhone 16 Pro

About as premium a build as you can get, durable too.

Slow charging - Galaxies are faster, even Pixels are faster.

In the end, the iPhone 16 Pro is shaping up to be the iPhone to get this year - the Max is too big, the others aren't Pro enough, the previous generation isn't cheaper enough.

Camera Control is a lovely addition ; Great display and performance ; 5x telephoto camera on a small iPhone ; The new Photographic Styles ; 4K 120fps video recording

Disappointing battery life ; Apple Intelligence not yet available ; The regular iPhone 16 is SO good

“The iPhone 16 Pro is a great iPhone with top-notch camera features. If the regular iPhone 16 isn't enough for you, this is the one to get.”

Detailed and impactful picture ; Engaging and textured headphone audio ; Dynamic speaker performance

Too-familiar design ; Apple Intelligence missing at launch ; Camera control button feels misplaced

The iPhone 16 Pro certainly isn’t a generational leap over its predecessor, but refinements to picture and sound make it an even better device for portable AV tasks

Larger display ; 5x zoom option on camera ; Longer battery life

Still less battery life than the Pro Max ; Camera Control function not for everyone

The smaller of Apple’s two pro models is no longer subject to a lesser camera array. It does everything the Max does in a smaller form, and that is likely to suit some users better. The new larger 6.3-inch screen looks incredible and there’s all the...

Compact build ; Excellent screen ; Good battery life ; Peppy performance ; Includes all Pro Max features

Shorter battery life than the Pro Max ; No Apple Intelligence features yet

The Apple iPhone 16 Pro has all the features and power of the Pro Max tucked into a smaller design that's easier to handle.

Excellent performance. Good battery life. Fun and useful camera features. Apple Intelligence adds lots of nifty little features, like audio transcriptions in Notes and Voice Memos. Faster wireless charging.

Apple Intelligence is in beta and many other features are coming later on. The Max might be too big. Maybe you don't need a Pro?

New tone control in camera lets you dial back HDR processing ; Who doesn’t love a physical shutter button? ; Your video director friends will spend hours gleefully taking 4K120 video portraits of people at street festivals ; New tone control in camera...

Camera Control button is a little fiddly ; Default photo processing is more aggressive than ever ; The most incremental of incremental upgrades over the iPhone 15 Pro ; The Pro Max is very close to being too big ; Camera Control button is a little...

That’s not to say the iPhone 16 Pro is a bad phone — it’s a great phone with some fascinating ideas about smartphone photography embedded in it. But it’s also clearly unfinished, and I think it’s worth waiting to see if Apple Intelligence can complete...

The Camera Control button is great ; The A18 Pro is powerful ; It still features the best phone display

Apple Intelligence's features are delayed ; Nearly identical to the iPhone 15 ; Camer Control button can be finicky

Apple's iPhone 16 Pro line features a few notable upgrades over last year's iPhone 15 Pro, including a dedicated camera button, a new A18 Pro chip, a bigger screen, and several AI-powered Apple Intelligence features.

Impressive cameras with useful editing features ; Battery life gets a bump ; A18 processor is fast and future-proofed

AI still MIA (for better or worse) ; Expensive ; Design hasn't changed much
