To give due credit, it's commendable how Apple managed to keep this non-Max Pro at this size. Just from the side by side photo with the Pixel 9 Pro in the Competition section of the article, it clearly looks smaller and from the rest of the review, it's more powerful while also lasting longer. Google is simply unable to compete and in some markets, they literally don't even try to.

                iPhone's new Photographic Style is quite underappreciated because it allows you to:

                1) Change the overall colour balance of the photos without affecting the skin tone,
                2) Change the tonemapping during the preview, which is only what Pixel has been able to do using the Dual Exposure slider,
                3) Possibly the biggest advantage over other manufacturers' implementations - Apply these changes AFTER taking a photo because each image file contains metadata that essentially allows you to redo and undo the editing in the post without significant loss in quality.

                I like how nowadays smartphone manufacturers are now giving people more control over how the final image looks without compromising the image quality consistency in auto mode. Vivo's Zeiss Colours, Oppo's Master Mode, Xiaomi's Leica modes and presets, and now Apple's new granular Photographic Styles.. Now all we need is a larger (possibly MFT) sensor for the main camera.

                  Anonymous, 04 Oct 2024This article seems a bit lacking in terms of exploring comp... moreOut of those brands, only the Xiaomi 14 could compete with the iPhone 16 Pro as a small flagship. It is a missed opportunity for them to not have talked about it, but at the same time, it's got limited availability and is overpriced, so I don't blame them for forgetting. I do suspect though that the Vivo X200 Mini will be a great product that directly completes with the iPhone 16 Pro once it releases (assuming they didn't cut back on its specs compared to the Vivo X200 Pro, which some people are convinced will be the case with this phone).

                    jiyen235, 04 Oct 2024remember how long it took for the bloody Find X7 Ultra? lol... moreThe wait for the Oppo Find X7 Ultra review was absolutely criminal. The worst part, is that I noticed a bunch of other issues that seemed to start happening in 2024, and I think the site is potentially going to become worse slowly over time. The spec inconsistencies between the specs page and the review page is quite jarring; I have no clue why they haven't listed the camera sensors for each camera module if they're now mentioned in the review; some reviews seem obviously rigged because they've got early review samples and they're giving good reviews for a phone that's obviously terrible (*cough* *cough* the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra *cough* *cough*); and the chat filter that's only become more and more censorious. These are just a few of the many new problems on this site, which is sad to see when it's an absolutely amazing database of phones and phone reviews that no other site can rival to anywhere close to the same degree.

                      V, 03 Oct 2024I do not understand "samsungs have disqualified them s... moreThe Galaxy S24 isn't a real flagship, no more, because the distance between itself and the S24 Ultra is very large. It doesn't have ultrawide with autofocus, 100 x zoom, UWB etc. It has less RAM and charging speed, and even the chipstet is different in many markets. But Iphone 16 Pro is really the Apple´s flagship in a small size, and better than Galaxy S24 in many ways.

                          Also, with the rate that the Chinese oem’s pump out smartphone models and variants, the poor bods at GSM arena must be absolutely drowning in the things. Focusing on any one, when another half dozen are near constantly being delivered cannot be easy…..

                          That’s not me defending any of this by the way, more just my take on what is happening, and why certain brands appear to get preferential treatment in the review priory list.

                            DaFink, 04 Oct 2024Clicks dude, clicks! I wouldn’t mind betting that iPhon... moreI know that. But what I was referring to is that phones that have been in for review for over a month, and three weeks before the iPhones came in (vivo V40/V40 Pro) didn't get the full review, and yet the iPhone reviews were done in just about a week. So I think that about three weeks would've been enough for the V40/V40 Pro reviews to be finished, finished long before the iPhones even came in

                              David 040882, 03 Oct 2024Damn, how fast the iPhone reviews be dropping, yet other sm... moreClicks dude, clicks!

                              I wouldn’t mind betting that iPhone reviews are up there in traffic in ways the latest Vivo or Oppo just can’t match. Besides most people know that by the time the they have gotten done reading a review of the latest Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi etc, then it’s no longer the latest 🤷

                                David 040882, 03 Oct 2024😂 Well, it's not really every device I see. In compari... moreHi there man 👀🤭 thanks for the shoutout

                                  I mean, at least the Pro got 5x telephoto, and stainless steel housing for the battery.

                                      Expected way better batterylife from the 16 Pro.
