items 3: content: In terms of functionality, this phone is very good. The cameras function awesomely, and its processing power is amazing on higher demand apps.
Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks:
* as shipped the “button” on the lower right is too easy to press, and it defaults to turning on the battery draining camera. So, until you change the functionality of that button in settings (which is not hard to do), be prepared for many unexpected camera activations to drain your battery and leave you stranded with little or no battery power left.
* if you use a QI charging mat (like found in most modern cars), you’ll find this phone cannot maintain enough contact to charge. This is due to the three camera lenses protruding from the phone far enough to leave a gap between the phone and the mat. The gap is small enough that most charging mats detect the phone and seem like they start charging … but then stop charging quickly because the gap is too large to maintain a solid enough connection between the phone and the mat. The same issue occurs with taller bedside chargers. If you have a shorter “standing” bedside charger, it will work if the phone’s camera lenses can rest above the top of the charger’s surface area. If not, we found that laying the phone sideways on such a charger does work.
Overall, I’m happy with the phone, but the engineering of the phone’s camera form factor should have been thought out better. The UX team also need to pay a bit more attention to the software for the physical buttons … or at least change the default shipped settings for such.

items 4: content: I upgraded from iPhone 11 Pro. The difference is vast. I placed them side by side to see the difference between 60Hz and 120Hz screens; the difference is noticeable, but even if it didn't have it, it wouldn't bother me at all (companies create needs for us that we essentially don't have). The camera works wonders, and I haven't even tested it in demanding situations yet. The battery lasts a day comfortably, but it's the classic Apple battery that sooner or later will need charging twice a day, which is ridiculous for the phone's price (it should have at least 4000mAh for such a price). In the unnecessary features, I would add the action button (I already miss the old good silent button) and the zoom on the right side of the phone; apparently, Apple is trying to add unnecessary things to inflate prices. Not to mention that because of this, a part of the side remains exposed in protective cases, making it very easy to get scratched even with a case! Another thing that I personally didn't like so much, maybe because I have to get used to it, is the size. I'm a fan of more compact phones and loved the small and ideal size of the 11 Pro. Other than that, it's a premium device that is NOT worth getting if you're satisfied with just a very good camera and don't want a professional one. Get the 16; the only difference is in Hz and the camera (and it's smaller in size). Finally, I should mention that I think it's worth the upgrade if you have a device from iPhone 12 and below. If you have an Android, don't think too much about it; no Android will accompany you like a soldier for 5+ years tirelessly like these

title: Vast upgrade, but battery and button concerns
type: REVIEWS
items 5: content: The iPhone 16 Pro is an exceptional device that seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with user-centric design. Its sleek titanium frame not only enhances durability but also adds a touch of elegance, making it a pleasure to hold and use.
Since I am a Photography enthusiast, I appreciate the advanced camera system, featuring a 48MP Fusion sensor, a 48MP ultra-wide lens, and a 12MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom.
Battery life has a notable improvement, providing up to 27 hours of video playback, ensuring the phone keeps up with a full day of heavy use. The introduction of faster MagSafe charging is a welcome upgrade, reducing downtime significantly.
In summary, the iPhone 16 Pro is a remarkable smartphone that offers a perfect balance of performance, design, and innovative features.
I loved it from the moment I bought it from John Lewis Nottingham outlet !

items 6: content: Compared to the iPhone 14, this iPhone 16 pro still has improved performance. The 16 pro is very responsive and faster regarding facial recognition, safari, camera, all of which can be launched rapidly. Camera is much improved especially when using raw and pro functions. Macro is very good, telephoto is excellent too, as is the wide angle. I wasn't keen on the camera function button to begin with, but now I have adapted to it. Power lead is better quality, but has a usb connection so will not fit models below iPhone 15 straight out of the box. Screen is excellent, resolution is superb. With John Lewis's extra 1 year warranty, it's definitely worth buying. Fully recommend.

items 7: content: I've just received my iPhone 16 Pro 256GB (upgrading from a 128GB XR). First impressions - the transitioning of files and apps to my new device was seamless, the battery life has been fantastic and the camera with 5x optical zoom (and up to 25x digital zoom) is excellent. You have the option to take 24MP or 48MP photos so it'll be exciting trying this out on my travels, as well as for some close-up macro photography. I tested it out zooming into a hallmark on some old jewellery and the detail it picked up was astonishing. The speakers for calls and music are clear and dynamic, and the 120Hz OLED display is the best I've ever used. It's my sixth iPhone since 2009 and is definitely the best yet.

items 9: content: I recently upgraded to the iPhone 16 Pro 256GB in White Titanium, and I’m absolutely impressed! The Apple Intelligence feature feels groundbreaking; it’s smoother and faster than any previous model I’ve owned. The White Titanium finish is stunning and has a premium feel. Battery life has noticeably improved, even with heavy use throughout the day. The camera quality is fantastic for both photos and videos, making it perfect for capturing important moments. If you’re thinking about upgrading, I highly recommend it!

items 10: content: Upgraded from iPhone 14 Pro to 16 Pro too soon to make a decisive review, however the camera is "excellent". battery life seems a bit better, start button offers some convenience, the USB-plug shows promise over lightening adapter (pic and data transfer) I don't believe I'll use the camera control and stick to using touch scree. Have not ventured to use the intelligence feature but looks promising. I have no way of proving this but it seems that the music audio quality comes over my auto speaker system (Toyota JBL). Seems heavier than my 14 Pro although supposed to be lighter (?) There's still a lot to digest.

items 11: content: I spent the last six years on Android before getting the iPhone 16 Pro, and I'm decently impressed. The camera takes beautiful photos, especially in low light, and everything runs smoothly. Battery life is solid but not ridiculous - easily lasts a full day but not that much longer (with normal use). The Action button feels a bit gimmicky but I don't hate it. iOS took some getting used to, and I still miss Android's better notifications and customisation options. It does feel very solid and "premium", and the display is excellent.

items 12: content: Great product with a excellent camera. I went from a Iphone XR to a Iphone 16 pro. and was relieved that Apple makes transitioning from an older model to a newer model an easy process. By that I mean the transfer of data and information from an older phone to a newer one. Everythign I had on my old phone transferred to the new one without any major issues. You tube videos were helpful in doing this, and there was not need to go our cell phone providers office to get it all set up. Although it still took a few hours to do it. .

items 13: content: Upgraded from the XR and love the 16 Pro for the fact that it has the same size screen. The cameras are a huge improvement in resolution and adjustability. I’m still getting used to the camera button but I like having it. Definitely makes grabbing the phone for a photo more accessible. The new silent mode button can be programmed to do a number of things. Right now I have it set to flash light. Other than that all the standard iPhone things seem to be working well. Processing is noticeably better than my XR and screen resolution is noticeably more vivid. Love the phone so far, hope I can get 6 years out of this one as well. Looking forward to the new AI features when they arrive.

items 14: content: This was a great purchase replacing an Apple 11 whose battery life was decreasing rapidly. The iphone Pro 16 is a significant upgrade with a vastly improved battery daily life, a sharper camera, and a size that fits easily into the pocket. There are also plenty of other improvements, yet to be understood and fully used such as AI.
I had very good service and nformation from the sales staff and so transferring of my data and apps from my previous phone was simple as was ensuring I kept my old mobile number. Therefore, no need to to pay for this service. The price paid was competitive, but the phone comes with the reassurance of a two year guarentee. Therefore I can thoroughly recommend this phone despite the expensive price!

items 15: content: This phone is a great and I love the desert titanium color of this phone. The phone arrived within days and it was rather easy transferring everything over from my old phone. The purchase process was very user-friendly, although, there was an issue returning my trade-in to a local store vs. shipping it back to AT&T. I chose to return my trade-in to a local store, but employees at the store told me that they do not accept trade-in phones and they had me call a number to order a return box. Why give me the option during purchase, if local stores are not aware of returning a trade-in? Otherwise, I am completely happy with this phone. The camera is A+, battery life is great, and the size is just right. Apple has put out a winner again!

items 16: content: Firstly, the delivery of the iphone was seamless. My package was wrapped in a plastic bag to protect from the current rain which is very much appreciated, and the tracking was easy and on point. The phone itself is beautiful and much faster in loading apps and searches. The quality of video and photos is incredible and I look forward to exploring more into the cameras. Upgrading from the 12 to 16 pro does take a bit of adjustment, with various changes in buttons and some settings. The screen expansion, improved speakers and flashlight were also a great plus. If you’re thinking of upgrading, I would recommend this version.

items 17: content: I went Pro to get the additional camera - I like taking landscape photos so the wide camera has been great.
Overall it's an awesome phone- what can you say, it's a brand new high spec iPhone so it all works seamlessly and looks great. Transfer of info worked great, and John Lewis was great as a company (and no quibbles on damage when i exchanged my old phone). Read lots of bad news stories on other sites which offered more for my old phone, so decided to play safe with John Lewis for a stress free experience. Was pleased with that choice.
Being hyper critical - the battery life isn't as amazing as I thought it would be, still loads of charge at the end of the day but if you have used the screen a lot in the day it's noticeable. Which is fine when new but may be a problem long term when battery degrades? It is also the largest phone I've ever had and the extra size and weight throws it slightly off balance when trying to do things one handed. Next phone (in hopefully several years!) I will not go bigger and look to go smaller if possible.

items 18: content: Moved from an iPhone 13 Pro Max to the iPhone 16 Pro. Mostly done because the trade-in offer was good and I wanted a smaller form-factor. The hardware is the usual apple quality. I like the action button not that I figured out how to display favorite apps via shortcut. Before that it was useless. I’m not sure how great the camera button will be long-term, kind of gimmicky and muscle memory-wise I still use the lock screen button. I had to turn on double press because I kept accidentally opening the camera. Photos seem to be very high contrast at the moment but that brings me to the work in progress part. The software at the time of this review (even on 18.1 beta) feels like a scaffolding to get the phone out the door and on to shelves but it really feels like a good change is coming as it develops. Being on the 18.1 beta, the new siri with AI is much better than old siri in regards to getting useful answers and not just safari links. I’m interested to see what comes later and how it develops. For me it feels like an upgrade from the 13 pro max.

items 19: content: I am upgrading from a 13 after 3 years. Desert Titanium in the pictures to me didn't look so pink, with the back glass cover it looks pretty pink, like rose.
The phone is nice and zippy. The facial recognition is way faster. All the new buttons are cool but to me they mean going without a case as they are really small and with a case sort of around then my large fingers can't easily use them. The camera button and zoom slide is pretty neat but I have to learn to use it as this phone without a case is pretty slippery and I am afraid to drop it.
The always on screen burned through battery for me. I turned it off. With that off I was able to change my charge max to 80% in hopes of saving battery condition over time, and so far have plenty of battery for all day. I also found with the screen always on the phone kept unlocking in my pocket based on my apple watch connectivity. Turning off the always on really made sense to me.
Wouldn't upgrade from a 15 but if you have an older version that would make sense to me.

items 20: content: Terrible connectivity. It barely connects and often has to be reset. iPhone 12 mini was substantially better, as is an iPhone 6S I still have. I've had numerous incidents with the phone not being able to connect to my alarm company. Also, the updated passwords protocol/situation has locked me out of basically everything. I've wasted an enormous amount of time resetting passwords and contacting companies due to lockouts.
The camera takes better photos, but it is also prone to being opened unintentionally due to the dedicated camera button on the side. Overall, it's terrible at basic connectivity. I did port over all of my data when I set it up. However, despite purchasing the 1TB version, I've had to manually re-download music. Anything I didn't specifically download as a purchase via iTunes was deleted and appears to be not allowed on the phone. As a professional musician, that eliminated a few thousand demos and many albums imported from purchased compact disks in the past.
If I hadn't traded in the iPhone 12 mini, I would gladly return to it rather than this iPhone 16 pro. A couple of things that do seem to be improved are display resolution and brightness. Like I said, the camera takes slightly better photos. The camera zoom is also better. Connectivity, for WiFi, 5G, LTE, and GPS is all noticeably inferior to the iPhone 12 mini that this has replaced.
