00:00:00
is the iPhone 16 the upgrade you've been
00:00:02
waiting for or is your current phone
00:00:03
still the better choice in this video
00:00:05
I'll be comparing the iPhone 16 to the
00:00:07
iPhone 15 and working my way through all
00:00:09
the older models to help you decide if
00:00:12
it's worth the upgrade now real quick if
00:00:13
you have an iPhone 10 8 or later you may
00:00:16
want to already consider upgrading
00:00:18
because your phone didn't get ios 17 and
00:00:20
it won't be getting iOS 18 and that
00:00:22
could start to become a problem for
00:00:23
example Netflix just announced they're
00:00:25
going to be ending support for iOS 16
00:00:27
meaning your phone won't be able to
00:00:28
receive any new updates features or bug
00:00:30
fixes let's get started with the iPhone
00:00:33
15 every new feature I mention here will
00:00:35
apply to all the other phones as well
00:00:37
the iPhone 15 is only a year old so if
00:00:39
you own one you probably shouldn't be
00:00:40
upgrading but there's actually a
00:00:42
surprising number of differences between
00:00:44
the two phones first there's some new
00:00:45
buttons on the iPhone 16 the ring
00:00:47
silence switch is going away and being
00:00:49
replaced with the programmable action
00:00:51
button allowing you to choose from a
00:00:53
variety of different functions to
00:00:54
control instead on the iPhone 15 Pros
00:00:56
last year a lot of people were using
00:00:58
this to launch the camera app but now
00:01:00
you won't need to because there's a
00:01:01
brand new camera control button with
00:01:03
just a click you can launch the camera
00:01:05
app click again to take a photo or long
00:01:07
press to start recording video and it
00:01:09
also recognizes half presses and swipes
00:01:12
letting you access different camera
00:01:13
functions like zooming in and out now
00:01:15
there's one more feature coming to the
00:01:17
camera control later this year called
00:01:19
visual intelligence if you press and
00:01:21
hold the camera control it'll launch a
00:01:23
new camera interface that lets you take
00:01:24
a picture of whatever you want and then
00:01:26
learn more about it there's even
00:01:27
separate buttons for doing Google
00:01:29
searches and chat gbt searches now let's
00:01:32
talk more about the cameras themselves
00:01:33
the iPhone 16 has a new ultrawide camera
00:01:36
that performs better in low light has
00:01:38
autofocus and enables macro photography
00:01:41
the New Vertical lens layout allows
00:01:43
spatial capture for both spatial photos
00:01:45
and spatial videos and I get it a lot of
00:01:48
people make fun of this feature right
00:01:49
now because who owns a Vision Pro I
00:01:52
don't but the way I look at it this
00:01:54
feature is all about reliving memories
00:01:56
so having this functionality built into
00:01:58
your camera right now allows you to
00:02:00
start building up that collection so
00:02:01
that if you ever do get a Vision Pro one
00:02:03
day in the future you'll already have a
00:02:05
whole bunch of memories to look back on
00:02:07
not only that but spatial video captures
00:02:09
spatial audio and having this technology
00:02:11
means the iPhone 16 can take advantage
00:02:13
of the new audio mix feature this lets
00:02:15
you adjust the way voices and background
00:02:17
noises sound in any of your videos one
00:02:20
last camera feature to call out is the
00:02:22
next Generation photographic Styles
00:02:24
which looks to be a super powerful way
00:02:26
to adjust the tones and colors of your
00:02:28
photos all of this is of course powered
00:02:30
by the new a18 chip which Apple claims
00:02:32
is up to 30% faster than iPhone 15 at
00:02:35
CPU related tasks and 40% FAS at GPU
00:02:38
tasks combined with the new thermal
00:02:40
substructure which helps dissipate heat
00:02:42
iPhone 16 can now support Hardware
00:02:45
accelerated R tracing which allows you
00:02:47
to play the small library of AAA title
00:02:49
video games the new chip also uses less
00:02:52
energy and combined with physically
00:02:53
larger batteries the battery life in
00:02:55
iPhone 16 promises to be one of the
00:02:57
longest ever now finally and possibly
00:03:00
most importantly iPhone 16 will support
00:03:02
Apple's new suite of artificial
00:03:04
intelligence features they call Apple
00:03:06
intelligence I made a whole video
00:03:08
breaking down what Apple intelligence is
00:03:10
how it works and what exactly is going
00:03:12
on with that chat gbt integration that
00:03:14
you should check out after this video
00:03:15
link down below now unfortunately none
00:03:18
of these features will be available when
00:03:19
the iPhone 16 Launches on September 20th
00:03:22
instead some of these features will be
00:03:24
rolling out in beta sometime in October
00:03:27
the rest of the features will be phased
00:03:29
out over the the course of the next year
00:03:31
so it's a little hard to list this as an
00:03:32
iPhone 16 feature when we don't exactly
00:03:35
know when we'll have access to all the
00:03:37
features at best you'll be getting a
00:03:39
phone that has a little more future
00:03:40
proofing built into it now let's take a
00:03:42
look at the iPhone 14 you'll be
00:03:44
receiving all the same upgrades as the
00:03:45
iPhone 15 plus a few more and stick
00:03:48
around to the end of the video where
00:03:49
I'll be comparing the 16 to the 16 Pro
00:03:52
to help you decide if that's the better
00:03:53
choice the notch has gone away and is
00:03:55
now replaced with Dynamic Island this
00:03:57
houses both the selfie camera and the
00:03:59
true depth camera system which enables
00:04:01
face ID and of course you're able to
00:04:03
interact with it in a variety of
00:04:05
different ways like app switching and
00:04:06
using live activities next the lightning
00:04:09
Port has been replaced with the much
00:04:10
more common USBC Port thank you European
00:04:13
Union the screen has gotten even
00:04:15
brighter with a maximum brightness of
00:04:17
2,000 nits when you're outside in direct
00:04:19
sunlight and it can go as low as one
00:04:21
knit in a dark environment finally
00:04:23
iPhone 14 users will be getting an
00:04:25
upgrade to the main camera going from 12
00:04:27
megapixels to a 48 megap f Fusion camera
00:04:30
Apple calls it a fusion camera because
00:04:32
they can combine every four pixels into
00:04:34
one pixel to create a 12 megapixel image
00:04:36
and then fuse it together with a 48
00:04:38
megap full resolution image to create a
00:04:41
24 map high resolution image you got all
00:04:44
that the other unique thing they can do
00:04:46
with this larger sensor is use only the
00:04:48
middle 12 megapixels to create a full
00:04:50
resolution 2x telephoto lens beyond that
00:04:53
you'll also be getting their next
00:04:54
Generation portrait mode with focus and
00:04:56
depth control and it now captures focus
00:04:59
and depth information even when you're
00:05:00
not using the portrait mode camera so
00:05:02
you can turn any of your photos into
00:05:04
portraits after you take them now moving
00:05:06
on to iPhone 13 owners there's really
00:05:08
not a huge difference between a 13 and
00:05:10
14 but here are a few more features
00:05:12
you'll be gaining first off there's no
00:05:14
more mini iPhone if have a 5.4 in iPhone
00:05:17
13 mini your smallest screen size option
00:05:19
is now the 6.1 in iPhone 16 however if
00:05:22
you want an even larger display there's
00:05:24
now a 6.7 in iPhone 16 plus option the
00:05:28
only difference between an iPhone 6 16
00:05:30
and 16 plus is that larger screen and
00:05:32
larger battery aside from that you'll be
00:05:34
gaining a new action video mode that
00:05:36
lets you capture superstable video in a
00:05:38
very bumpy or fast-paced environment and
00:05:41
then some new safety features like crash
00:05:43
detection roadside assistance via
00:05:45
satellite and emergency SOS via
00:05:47
satellite next up the iPhone 12 there's
00:05:50
actually even less difference here the
00:05:52
iPhone 13 introduced a smaller size
00:05:54
Notch compared to the iPhone 12 but
00:05:56
that's been replaced by Dynamic Island
00:05:57
anyway the only other big feature that
00:05:59
hasn't been mentioned yet if you're
00:06:00
coming from an iPhone 12 is the
00:06:02
Cinematic video mode it lets you do
00:06:04
things like jump between different Focus
00:06:06
points and you can even modify this
00:06:08
after you film the video and that's
00:06:10
basically it but the iPhone 12 is a year
00:06:12
older than the iPhone 13 so especially
00:06:15
if you're starting to lose some of your
00:06:16
battery capacity I think upgrading from
00:06:18
an iPhone 12 right now is a good
00:06:20
decision but if you're coming from an
00:06:22
iPhone 11 now there starts to be some
00:06:24
significant upgrades again first off
00:06:26
you'll be upgrading to a smartphone with
00:06:27
5G and that's 5G 5G 5G 5G 5G sorry I
00:06:32
triggered the 5G Montage 5G 5G 5G I
00:06:35
won't say it again you'll also finally
00:06:37
have mag safe and access to that entire
00:06:39
accessory ecosystem in fact magsafe
00:06:42
charging has gotten even better with the
00:06:44
iPhone 16 letting you charge even faster
00:06:46
when using a 30 W adapter the rest of
00:06:48
the notable changes all have to do with
00:06:50
the design of the phone for example
00:06:52
you'll be getting a flat Edge design and
00:06:54
with iPhone 16 it's still pretty
00:06:56
comfortable to hold thanks to those
00:06:57
contoured edges the glass covering the
00:06:59
display is even stronger so you'll be
00:07:01
getting Apple's latest generation
00:07:03
ceramic shield and perhaps most
00:07:05
importantly you'll be going from an LCD
00:07:07
display to a super Retina xdr Display
00:07:10
that's Apple talk for OLED but it now
00:07:12
means you'll be able to watch HDR
00:07:14
content and the resolution has increased
00:07:16
from 326 pixels per inch to 460 okay and
00:07:21
finally the iPhone 10r you'll be going
00:07:24
from a single camera lens to two and as
00:07:26
mentioned before these two camera lenses
00:07:28
mimic four different focal lengths
00:07:30
giving you a macro lens Ultra wide lens
00:07:33
wide lens and 2x optical zoom on top of
00:07:36
that you'll be getting some new photo
00:07:37
features like deep Fusion which is
00:07:39
really just more advanced computational
00:07:41
photography making your photos as
00:07:43
detailed as possible you'll also get
00:07:45
night mode which is basically magic the
00:07:47
front-facing camera gets an upgrade from
00:07:49
7 megapixels to 12 megapixels there's
00:07:51
also improved dust and water resistance
00:07:53
now an ultra wideband ship which lets
00:07:55
your phone be aware of other Ultra
00:07:57
wideband devices around it in the last
00:07:59
thing I'll mention is you'll be gaining
00:08:00
4K quick take video whenever you're in
00:08:03
the camera app you can either tap and
00:08:04
hold the shutter button or slide it to
00:08:06
the right to start a quick take video so
00:08:08
that's every major new feature coming to
00:08:10
the iPhone 16 based on the phone you're
00:08:13
upgrading from but what if you decide to
00:08:14
go with the 16 Pro here's what you'll be
00:08:16
gaining first off larger displays and
00:08:19
smaller bezels the iPhone 16 pro has a
00:08:22
6.3 in display and the iPhone 16 Pro Max
00:08:25
has a 6.9 in display these displays also
00:08:28
have promotion that's Apple's term for
00:08:30
120 HZ adaptive refresh rate now this
00:08:33
has become a bit of a controversial
00:08:35
Topic in the Tech Community a lot of
00:08:37
people give Apple a hard time for not
00:08:38
putting 120 hertz on the non-pro models
00:08:41
especially with the prices they start at
00:08:43
the other side of this argument though
00:08:45
is most people can't see a difference
00:08:47
and that's true at first if you show
00:08:50
someone a 60 HZ display side by side
00:08:52
with 120 HZ display most people can't
00:08:55
see a difference but if they start using
00:08:58
that 120 HZ display every day and get
00:09:00
used to it when you put a 60 HZ display
00:09:02
back in front of them they almost always
00:09:04
say something's wrong with this display
00:09:06
it's laggy so if you never used 120 HZ
00:09:09
display you don't know what you don't
00:09:11
know and it's up to you if you want it
00:09:13
to stay that way there is one other
00:09:14
benefit to the Adaptive refresh rate
00:09:16
though the phone doesn't always use 120
00:09:19
htz it can slow down the refresh rate in
00:09:21
certain situations to help conserve
00:09:23
battery going as low as 1 Herz which is
00:09:26
what enables the always on display next
00:09:28
if we look at the back of the phone
00:09:29
you'll see it has a third camera lens
00:09:31
and that's the 5x telephoto zoom lens
00:09:34
giving you much better zoom capabilities
00:09:35
than what's found on the non-pro models
00:09:37
including a digital zoom up to 25x also
00:09:41
the ultra wide lens on the 16 Pros has
00:09:43
been upgraded to a 48 megap sensor
00:09:45
matching the sensor in the main camera
00:09:47
it also has some Advanced video options
00:09:49
like 4K at 120 frames per second for
00:09:52
some beautiful slow motion it can record
00:09:55
log video for professional color grading
00:09:57
and it can do this because it's USB C
00:09:59
Port uses USB 3 which is 20 times faster
00:10:02
than the USB 2 speeds in the non-pro
00:10:05
models next it uses titanium as opposed
00:10:08
to aluminum for a more premium and
00:10:10
durable design and just like the 16 and
00:10:12
16 plus the only difference between the
00:10:14
16 Pro and 16 Pro Max is that larger
00:10:17
display and larger battery now there is
00:10:20
one more phone you have to consider
00:10:21
before upgrading and I tell you all
00:10:23
about it in this video right
00:10:25
here thank you European European Union
00:10:29
Union thank you European Union European
00:10:32
Union
