Apple iPhone 16 Plus

Pros

  • Camera Control Wizardry
    The new Camera Control button transforms photography, allowing for intuitive zooming and quick access to settings. It feels like having a mini DSLR in your pocket.
  • Battery Beast
    With a 6% larger battery, the 16 Plus outlasts its predecessor by a significant margin. It's the smartphone equivalent of a camel crossing the Sahara.
  • AI-Ready Powerhouse
    The A18 chip isn't just about raw speed – it's primed for advanced AI capabilities, potentially turning your phone into a pocket-sized digital assistant.

Cons

  • Refresh Rate Rut
    Stuck at 60Hz, the display feels like watching a flip book compared to the buttery-smooth Pro models. It's time for an upgrade.
  • Always-Off Display
    The lack of an always-on display feels like a deliberate omission to differentiate from the Pro line. It’s a missed opportunity for convenience.
  • Pro Envy
    While it closes the gap, some Pro features remain tantalizingly out of reach. It’s akin to flying business class while eyeing first-class amenities.
