  • This is the new iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max.

  • Now, it's hard to see any differences, but there are some significant ones, and let's get into it.

  • Now, from the back, both phones look very similar to last year's iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, but as I start to turn them around, you can start seeing some of the differences.

  • On the right side is a new button that's, well, not really a button.

  • It's a touch controller for the camera that can not only open the camera and take a photo, but can also be used to change the zoom, switch cameras, photo styles, and the aperture and portrait mode.

  • The new controller will also get an Apple Intelligence feature called Visual Intelligence that you can press and get context of whatever your camera is pointing at.

  • This feature seems very similar to Google Lens, and unfortunately, I won't get to try it until later this year when it comes out.

  • The other big difference is the actual screens are larger.

  • The 16 Pro has a 6.3-inch screen, inside roughly the same size body as the iPhone 15 Pro, which had a 6.1-inch screen.

  • The iPhone 16 Pro Max's screen is 6.9 inches compared to 6.7 on last year's 15 Pro Max.

  • The iPhone 16 Pro Max has the largest screen ever made on an iPhone.

  • Yeah, I sound a little bit like Apple right now, don't I?

  • In terms of color, well, you have finishes.

  • Especially if you like titanium, you have natural titanium, white titanium, black titanium, and desert titanium, the most colorful of the titaniums, and that's me being very generous.

  • And then there are the cameras, which this year are exactly the same on both the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, including that five-times telephoto camera replacing the three-times telephoto on the 15 Pro last year.

  • The main 48-megapixel camera gets a faster sensor.

  • The ultra-wide is brand new with a 48-megapixel sensor, and I'll compare that against the 15 Pro, which had a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor.

  • And this higher-resolution ultra-wide sensor should also give a boost in image quality to macro photos.

  • The Pro models can now capture spatial photos and spatial audio, as well as 4K 120-frame-per-second slow motion, which Apple introduced by showing a new song and video by The Weeknd that was filmed on the new iPhone 16 Pro and had copious amounts of slow motion.

  • Powering all of this is a larger battery in Apple's new A18 Pro chip, which has a faster CPU and a faster GPU, and Apple says two-times faster ray tracing than last year's 15 Pro.

  • Notice the reflections in the water and the way the lighting and highlights look in this game that I'm playing here.

  • The big boost is a larger neural engine, which powers onboard Apple Intelligence for things like AI-suggested writing tools that pop up in documents or emails, photo tools, including cleanup to remove unwanted people or things from an image, and a number of Siri changes, including a new voice designed to sound more natural, more contextual conversations.

  • Siri even gets a new interface with a glowing border around the edge of the phone when you use Siri, and you don't just have to talk to Siri.

  • You can actually double-tap the bottom of the screen so you could type to Siri instead of using your voice.

  • Unfortunately, with Apple Intelligence, all these wonderful features will not be on the phones out of the box and will come over a software update next month.

  • The iPhone 16 Pro is $999, and the 16 Pro Max is $1,199, and they're both available to pre-order starting September 13th and will be in stores starting September 20th.

  • But that's all I got, and I wanna hear from you.

  • What do you think of the new iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max?

  • What feature really stands out to you?

  • Please throw your thought in the comments.

  • Last, if you like this video, give it a thumbs up, and thank you for watching.

This is the new iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max.
