The iPhone 16 series, launched by Apple, has garnered a variety of opinions. The standard iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are praised for their vibrant design, improved 48MP camera, and powerful A18 chip. However, they lack features like a telephoto lens and 120Hz refresh rate. Reviewers appreciate the new buttons and macro shot capabilities but note some heating issues during intensive use.
Contrastingly, the iPhone 16 Pro models receive mixed feedback. While the A18 Pro chip and 4K video recording at 120fps impress, the larger sizes and incomplete AI features leave some users wanting more. The absence of always-on display mode and Apple Intelligence in the Pro model is seen as a significant shortfall.
Despite selling 37 million units in the opening weekend, early demand appears muted compared to previous models. The general sentiment is that while the iPhone 16 series introduces meaningful upgrades, it may not compel users of recent models to upgrade immediately.
