Display
Let's start from Display side, its Display quality is at the level of Galaxy S24 Ultra & guys what is required in expensive displays, good outdoor visibility, color accuracy, image sharpness and a Good anti-reflective coating. Anti-reflective coating means when there is very strong sunlight, you will see a lot of glares in your eyes due to which you are not able to read or see the screen comfortably. It is quite amazing, yes, it is not so good in comparison with Galaxy S24 Ultra, so guess this is S24 Ultra's display -1.
In terms of display, the iPhone 16 Pro Max sports a bigger 6.9-inch LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display with one of the slimmest bezels ever, measuring 1.15mm thin, which is thinner than the 1.5mm bezel of the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. Other than that, it has a top-notch panel boasting a 120Hz Promotion refresh rate, and all the flagship features like HDR10, and Dolby Vision and comes with a resolution of 2868 x 1320 pixels.
Apple has added a Capture button below the power key and an action button on the left side.
A18 Pro and some AI
Guyz now I have to talk about the performance and according to me, it would be a very stupid thing to talk about its performance. Also do it because it is considered better than some dekstop level chips, so the important thing is not how powerful it is, the important thing is what things it can power.
Under the hood, the iPhone 16 Pro series is powered by the A18 Pro chip, built on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process. This processor includes a 6-core CPU, a 6-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine capable of 35 trillion operations per second. The A18 Pro delivers 15% faster CPU performance and 20% improved GPU speeds compared to its predecessor, the A17 Pro, enhancing overall system performance and efficiency.
Further, It also integrates advanced AI capabilities, improving computational photography with real-time color and shadow adjustments and enabling sophisticated machine-learning tasks for more intuitive user experiences.
As Apple Intelligence, its own version of AI has also arrived, the Pro models are the first ones to benefit. The Apple Intelligence is useful in auto-generated Apple Music playlists, integration with productivity apps for AI-assisted content creation, and more.
But honestly guys this 4k 120fps ProRes Log Video Recording, Audio mix is very over the top functionalities which 99% public might not know about it. Even if I knew better, I would probably not use it, but it is really good to see that the phone is providing such features, which does it do? it sets the benchmark; it raises the bar and pushes other phone companies and manufactures to come up with these features. So these are good things.
Camera
Now let's talk about the Camera. And Obviously camera is great. Guyz, especially in the case of video. So, guys weather iPhone is 11 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro, they also take very good videos, so only if you want to take good videos then you don't have to switch to iPhone 16 Pro. iPhone 11 Pro, 12 Pro & 14 Pro also takes a good video.
In addition, the iPhone 16 Pro boasts a new 48MP ultrawide camera with a quad-pixel sensor and autofocus, enhancing landscape shots and close-up details. The 12MP 5x telephoto camera remains a key feature, delivering sharp zoom capabilities.
Users can capture 4K 120fps in Slo-mo or Video mode and adjust the playback speed after capture in the Photos app, including a quarter-speed playback, a new half-speed option for a dreamy effect, and a fifth-speed option that corresponds to 24fps.
Users can also capture 4K 120fps ProRes and Log directly to an external storage device for efficient pro workflows. Furthermore, the phone has four new studio-quality mics for recording true-to-life sounds.
The front has a 12MP selfie camera with OIS, which can shoot up to 4K 60fps video.
Battery
As for the juice, the iPhone 16 Pro packs an updated stainless-steel casing for higher battery density, by up to 10%, of course for better battery life. It boasts a 2.5% battery capacity improvement with a 3,355mAh cell as compared to the 3,274mAh one on the iPhone 15 Pro. The Mag Safe alignment magnets in the iPhone 16 models are now slimmer than before, cutting down on the size of the magnetic ring required for Mag Safe-compatible cases.

Is iPhone 16 Pro Worth it? or Who need to upgrade iPhone 16 Pro.
Okay Let's talk about them. First thing No Flagship phone is worth it; they all are overpriced.

If you recently upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro, the incremental improvements in the iPhone 16 Pro might not justify the cost of a new phone. If you primarily use your phone for calls, texts, and social media, the iPhone 16 Pro's advanced features might be overkill. I suggest you better not upgrade.
