“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.”
Pros
- 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
Cons
- Disappointing battery life
- Apple Intelligence not yet available
- The regular iPhone 16 is SO good
The iPhone Pro is usually an easy recommendation. If you’re shopping for a new iPhone and have a bit more money to spend, splurging for the Pro is typically a no-brainer. But this year is different.
The regular iPhone 16 is the best non-Pro iPhone released in ages, and it’s so good that it makes justifying the iPhone 16 Pro more complicated than you may have thought. That’s not to say the iPhone 16 Pro is a bad phone (it’s very good!), but the group of people who should go for it over the regular model is smaller than in past years. Do you fall into that group? Let’s find out.
