i love how companies now days are willing to sell you fish in the sea (aka apple inelegance) and releasing half baked stuff to hopefully fix it in the future

    Also bought it on launch day , and had many issues , typing issues mostlly , but those things are now fixed , so the phone is coming to its own
    Good battery , but the softwrae need to optimize more . Because there is a bit battery drain in standby mode . Other than that , and typing issues I had , great phone

Some said it is accumulated result of both software and screen protectors. Refresh rate has also been resolved but still there are some minor bugs in 18.0.1. People using 18.1 beta said 18.1 will resolve all existing problems.

                    2 You can do this by just clicking the symbol. No need to double click. One click works.
                    3 You can open camera from lockscreen using icon or by pressing camera control button. However there is no way to disable the swipe left function if I'm not wrong.
                    4 What kind of default settings we talking about? I don't understand. Just so that you know, you iPhone can go Focus Mode depending on location but you need to add things in focus mode what that specific profile should do. Like I go dark mode during sleep and silent mode during work. Both automated.

                          Experience: Android to iPhone 16 Pro Max
                          Short about me: This is my first iPhone and I’ve been android user my whole life. I’m 30 yrs old. Fan of Sony phones and design. My wife uses MacBook Air while I use Surface Pro and uses windows at work as well. My experience so far with iOS and iPhone itself.

                          Positives:
                          1. Customisation: Surprised (not completely since I follow tech news) to use iPhone and not missing android. Could be result of customisation apple borrowed from android. I know widgets, wallpapers etc are new.
                          2. Battery: My iPhone 16 pro max is tank. I barely charge it 100%. In 3 weeks, I have charged 100% only twice, in both cases, I have used extensively by using google maps, speed cam app (in Europe), Spotify for more than 4 hours continuously and then used camera randomly for 3 hours and still is not below 20%. I guess only Sony Xperia 1 VI comes closure to this battery life.
                          3. Screen: Satisfied (coming from 4K screen Xperia 1 II) and 120Hz is good to have
                          4. Never had any problems with the heat. My last chip is SD865 and it can run all apps but while heavy gaming, always produced heat. But never with A18 Pro.
                          5. Design and Feel: I personally didn’t feel it too big, wide yes but overall not bad. Bezels are excellent and I liked the Dynamic Island Features. External design feel awesome, reminded me of Sony in terms of premium quality.
                          6. Camera: Nothing to complain. Liked the colours and liked the quality. Night photography is excellent except for Moon photos where my 4 year old Sony could capture better with manual inputs. I guess I have to download paid app for manual control of camera. Videos no phone can compete.
                          7. Shotcuts app: Loved the automations like as soon as my car connects to my iPhone, Speed cam app starts in the background. My only complain however is while automation only iTunes Music app can be played but can't find spotiy.

                          Negatives: mostly on software side
                          1. I can’t access notifications or control panels from middle of the screen like android. It made me use two hands all the time. I wish apple borrows this feature. Also the back gestures work only in few apps.
                          2. Worst keyboard I have ever used. No numbers pad along with letters for such huge screen.
                          3. Auto suggestions horrible. No Clipboard
                          4. Selecting and copying is lot complicated than android. (Installed swift key)
                          5. Can’t find any transparent clocks with weather for free like android. Limited apps and expensive apps. Too complicated widgy apps.

                          So far, I didn’t miss android and I liked my 16 Pro Max

                                  Okay idk what people are rambling on about this phone, it’s genuinely amazing. I know I’m biased as I upgraded from an XR but still. The battery always gets me through the day, even when it’s only charged to 60%. The cameras are amazing, and the increase in selfie shots is incredible. It’s also the little things, like the incredibly thin but completely even bezels, the 48MP ultra wide camera, and even just being able to use 5G for the first time. If you’ve been holding off a while, now is the time to upgrade, unless you know you can wait another year, but it is so worth it for any of the 16s this year.

                                  I know people get annoyed at the base models only having 60hz displays, but the average consumer doesn’t know, and DOESNT CARE! It’s only the “pro users” complaining about the base models, because they are used to 120hz. And I get it! My XR had a 60hz display, and as soon as I got the 16 pro max, it was instantly smoother! But , in my 5 years with the XR, I never once complained about having a 60hz display (plus it was an LCD) because I didn’t know what 120hz felt like. The 16s have bright, contrasting OLED displays that are beautiful to look at if you ever get the chance. Anyway, this is an amazing phone and fully recommend upgrading if you want.

                                    Oh and thanks for your own advice there dude, not sure what it was as I stopped paying any attention after 'I'll give you the best advice next year' but yeah, thanks anyway 🤷‍♂️

                                        Benson, 15 Oct 2024Should i wait for the iPhone 17, rumors says it has 120hz 6... moreI’m not normally inclined to give advice, I do have two pointers for your question though:

                                        1. Don’t ask for advice from commenters on this site, that’ll get you no where.
                                        2. Waiting for the ‘next device’ in the tech game is akin to a dog chasing its tail, there always going to be something newer and shinier just around the corner.
