The Samsung are much better displays, so it just depends on how lucky or unlucky you are. As for me, I was unlucky twice, both 16 Pro, 256gb natural titanium have the LG displays. No more iPhones for me.

    LG is supplying displays for the iPhone pro series, along with Samsung. Samsung is supplying displays for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. The LG displays are inferior to the Samsung and have a yellow tint and color shift when viewed from any direction other than head on. Turning off True Tone, Night Mode or adjusting the color settings does not fix the problem. You still end up with a little less yellow tint, but a darker, more dirty looking display. Apple is so intent on reducing their dependency on Samsung, that they have allowed loyal customers who spent over $1,000.00 on a premium phone to get an inferior display. I bought the 16 pro and immediately noticed the yellow tint. White looks terrible and the other colors are nowhere near as good as my 11 pro. I requested a replacement, but the odds are that I'll end up with another LG display. By the way, I used SUTools to confirm that this is an LG display in my 16 Pro. This will be my last iPhone. I was so pleased with my 11 Pro and am now so disappointed in my 16 pro. I know...this is a first world problem, but it's still a huge disappointment. I hope that this comment is not considered "bashing". I simply want to warn others that if they buy a 16 pro or pro max, that there is a possibility that the display on their expensive phone will look worse than some of the cheap phones. I have a Motorola Edge 2022, which I paid $249 for and the colors on the Motorola is much better.

      Just read the review on the Apple iPhone 16 Pro, and wow—it sounds like Apple has really outdone themselves this time! The upgraded camera system and display enhancements seem perfect for anyone into photography or gaming. The faster processor is also a great bonus for multitasking. Curious to see how the battery life holds up, especially with the new features. Has anyone here upgraded? What do you think of it so far

        I'm happy

          Which ram uses in 16pro and 16pro max?

            Not a single word in the review here about panoramas, wide & ultrawide ones. NO info as to pixel heights, as bad as Apple themselves.
            But how hard ye reviewers, can it be? You just do a sweep pan with each lens and read the pixel heights from the file info..
            No info on whether you can use styles or change colour balance or over and underexpose panoramas either. Not a word. Is the robot message on the T-shirt true then ?

              iPhone new products are just like old blackberry passport no improvement, nothing change with slowing charging, now we have many phone that is better than iPhone products like Xiaomi Redmi, Samsung,oppo, Vivo and honor

The sky does not look very natural and it looks like a filter is applied.

                        So, the small iphone pro has an equivalent battery life to the S24 Ultra!! And the pro max is miles ahead. Ok, I'm seriously considering it...

                            Rolly Ghiz, 06 Oct 2024So we're now paying an extra $200 (possibly more) for ... moreThey could just not sell the vanilla models, but they need a cheaper gateway model to get people trapped in the iOS ecosystem, not that those are by any means cheap.

                              Dissapointing generation, 4k120 is more a gimmick on such small sensor, and button isn't reliable.
                              Image quality and noise performance comparing to flagship vivo, oppo or even xiaomi is far behind. Iphone pro sensor except main are super tiny compared to rivals, like a budget device.
                              Best features in new iphone are support w JpgXL and more options in editing, which could be an update to iOS.

                                Rolly Ghiz, 06 Oct 2024So we're now paying an extra $200 (possibly more) for ... moreThey did do that with the vanilla this year. The base 16 is the closest in years to having the pro features - you get 99% the same processor as the pro (1 less GPu core); you get the camera control, same display pixels, wind noise microphones, same cameras minus 5x zoom which isn’t a big deal for everyone, etc. So I would say getting the base or “vanilla” gives you the same pro experience if you can live without 120hz, which a lot of people don’t care about

                                  Aristeidis, 06 Oct 2024Because Iphone screen panels are not that good.. Also whit... moreYou do know that their panels are made by Samsung right? And if you look on Dxomark or display Mate or any panel testing sites, the iPhone displays are rated the highest along with Samsung for color accuracy, gamut , brightness , etc. If you’re talking about “yellow” or warmness, the iPhone has a True Tone setting which can be turned off so that you can adjust the white balance to your own taste. You would not be able to even discern from a webpage how the display looks in real life regardless.

                                    So we're now paying an extra $200 (possibly more) for just an increase in battery capacity and screen size. It seems to me that they're trying to make the pro more and more like the pro max, thereby widening the gap between the pro and the vanilla. For what purpose?
                                    If they're making the pro better, why can't they do that too with the vanilla?

                                      When they said that Samsung disqualified themselves, does that mean that they're way better or way worse?

                                        Congratulations, Apple! You now hold the record for the slowest charging speed in 2024!
                                        Is that what you really want, Apple?
