The iPhone 16 Pro was launched about three months ago, and I’ve been utilizing it every day since. While there are many aspects that I appreciate, it hasn’t been entirely smooth sailing. Here’s my experience with Apple’s latest flagship after three months of use.
Understanding the iPhone Upgrade Landscape
Before we explore the features, both good and bad, of Apple’s new iPhone, there are a couple of important points to consider:
- I purchase the latest iPhone annually, which means my evaluation of the 16 Pro is heavily influenced by my comparison to last year’s model, the 15 Pro.
- If you’re not upgrading from an iPhone 15 Pro, you’ll likely find a lot more new features to enjoy in the 16 Pro than I do.
While there’s certainly a lot to discuss regarding the iPhone 16 Pro as a standalone device, my perspective is inevitably colored by my experience with last year’s model.
The Positive Aspects
The iPhone 16 Pro has impressed me in several unexpected ways. While there were features I anticipated enjoying, others caught me off guard with how beneficial they have proven to be.
Here’s a list of what stands out as the most impressive qualities of my iPhone 16 Pro:
Given the highlights I’ve mentioned, this year has certainly offered a solid array of advancements for the iPhone. However, not every aspect has been without its frustrations.
Concerns and Shortcomings
Some of the updates to the iPhone 16 Pro have felt like missteps for me. Certain new features I hoped would significantly enhance the user experience have fallen flat, leaving me disappointed.
Three-Month Reflection on the iPhone 16 Pro
While I appreciate the improvements that have been made, it’s a shame some of my favorite aspects from last year’s iPhone 15 Pro have been sacrificed in terms of weight and size.
