Apple iPhone 16 review

28 September 2024


Sort by:

LG, 29 Sep 2024Yeah but CALL TEST alone being 4 hours worse. That’s insane... moreCall battery tests are unreliable, since there are several factors that can affect it. Without it the difference is barely around an hour, hour and a half. Which is understandable given the A18 is a but cut down vs the A18 Pro.

Battery results from many reviewers across the whole iPhone 16 line show very strong results.

    Apple loses to even midrange Snapdragons and Mediateks in all other tests.

      Quality of signal at the moment has huge impact.

          Coast, 29 Sep 2024wow man apple fans claim the lack of features is a feature ... more@Coast: you don't have to. Redmi has adaptive refresh, and most of the time it is on 60Hz, and when displaying more dynamic content it switches to 120Hz. You can turn on the Hz display (left up corner) in developer options and see for yourself the refresh rate. Some other mobile phones like Sony Xperia I Vi go from 1Hz do 120Hz. Dynamically.

              the iphone 16 series does not convince me at all. I am a tech fan, but the 16 series is very mediocre for what I have seen.

                        Krillo, 29 Sep 2024Let's go to bezel townIf highest end bezels were 2 micrometer and iPhone 16 bezels were 3 micrometer you‘d still say „OMG bezels so big you could land a plane on them“. They‘re not as bad as some make it out to be.

                          Small cores of Pro are clocked 0.24GHz higher.
                          GPU has an extra core ( maybe higher clocked too).
                          Bit larger screen.

                          LTPO could not help, since only drops below 60Hz when person does not touch screen. During this test, it can only help video playback.

                          Pro Max score bit more than 17h.
                          16+ may pass it
