Apple iPhone 16 Pro (1TB, Black Titanium)

Performance:Pretty GoodValue For Money:For the quality of the brand, this phone is good quality.Best Feature(s):New Action Button and Camera Control.I upgraded from an iPhone 13 Pro Max to iPhone 16 Pro. Pretty significant differences like the action button which replaces the slient switch, camera control which wasn't there initially, USB-C charging instead of lightning cable, Dynamic Island instead of the fixed notch, lighter weight compared to the 13 pro max which is pretty heavy and others. Overall, I like this phone and will continue to use it.

Best Modern Telephone / Camera

As these devices go this is probably my favourite new mobile telephone, camera and handheld computer. The integration with Apple software and hardware makes for an excellent user experience meaning that you spend less time staring at the iPhone in favour of easily getting things done and getting on with your day. The camera is impressive in a variety of lighting conditions. I fault this iPhone in that it is too large and cannot be operated single handed in the way Steve Jobs explained for the correct size for iPhone's. Whilst Apple are always telling us how thin devices are the camera bulge is obtrusive!Despite these design flaws I still recommend this device as it is the best in its class in the modern oversized age.

Computer in your pocket

This phone is lightning fast, you notice the speed when opening/closing apps and flicking between screens. The main feature is the camera with dedicated camera button. This takes quite a bit of getting used and is pressure sensitive, its quite easy to get the wrong option by either pressing too hard or too soft and sometimes easier to configure on screen instead, plus when you press the button to take a picture that movement can blur the picture so you have to hold it steady. So it takes a bit of practice. Having said that the camera is the best, super clear and 5 times zoom is helpful. The AI feature just released is an enhancement and will take some practice to use, it can summarise blocks of texts, emails, record audio and summarise, filter notifications, prof ... MoreThis phone is lightning fast, you notice the speed when opening/closing apps and flicking between screens.

I'm sure it will get better with future software updates. The battery life on the Pro is great, I can easily get 2 or 3 days without charging. Overall a great phone that will last a few years.

Disappointing launch!

Disappointment! Camera control button is a joke, gimmick at best, 16 pro is just a 15 pro and makes no difference. All the features are available to the 15 pro, wonder why charge us so much for this?Save your money and buy the 15 pro. All the marketing about apple intelligence and it doesn't come out completely until next year. What's the point of the false marketing?Camera and battery is good for now. And I'm glad Apple FINALLY started using USB C (from 15 pro).Look elsewhere, so many better phones this year.

LIFE CHANGING!!!!

This is my first ever JL review I have ever written. I'm not one for writing reviews, but I think this deserves a review. I upgraded my iPhone 14 pro to the iPhone 6 pro and oh my god the iPhone 6 pro is that life changing for someone like myself with severe sight loss. I have yet to discover all the AI features and Apple intelligent and all its capabilities, but tonight I have discovered with my Magnifier which I use quite frequently. You can now scan a product and it will Read it for you. This is amazing and has really helped me massively as my sight has unfortunately deteriorated nearing three years ago. I'm a heavy user on my phone as it helps me navigate life and battery on this phone is amazing - normally I wouldn't believe it when it's the longest battery ... MoreThis is my first ever JL review I have ever written.

I'm a heavy user on my phone as it helps me navigate life and battery on this phone is amazing - normally I wouldn't believe it when it's the longest battery life ever in an iPhone but seriously Apple have outdone themselves as my battery has been incredible. And that's just a standard pro this is the best purchase I've have made this year. Battery has lasted me all day and has only needed to be put on charge once and then would it ask me right away through to the next day until some point in the next day when it will need charging again. I really hope my comment helps other people with any type of vision officer whether that's partially cited severely excited or totally blind and whatever eye condition you may have because you really can't fault Apple cause they are at their best. APole is the best for those with sight loss :-D

Seller is Spam

My experience with this seller is really disappointing. I tried to contact them but no response. I received faulty device from them. Display not working properly and also device lagging too much. Device was already activated with visible scratches and seal was broken. I even called customer service but no response. I urge you to not buy from this seller. They even charged me 4949 AED while the actual price of product was only 4700 AED. This phone seems like a Chinese Iphone Copy. Please dont buy.

[Rewarded Review] Solid S year upgrade.

Solid S year upgrade.I generally prefer upgrading during an S year where there is a consolidation of features rather than having new untested features. And this is the year I upgrade from my 13.Apple intelligence is not a factor in my purchasing decision, it's not available on release, might add half a star due to it and unless it makes Siri worse than it currently is I can't imagine subtracting a star for it.ProsThin bezel is visually strikingPerformance and battery both seems good, similar to the upgrade from 12 to 13Camera is solid, new photographic style actually let me customize a default style where there are shadows and contrastUsb C, bye LightningCamera button is nice to launch the camera app reliably so I can map the Action Button for something ... MoreSolid S year upgrade.I generally prefer upgrading during an S year where there is a consolidation of features rather than having new untested features.

It does not feel comfortable sitting on a table without a caseZoom camera really underwhelming compared to Android counter partsCamera button not particular useful IMO for adjustments, quicker with touchscreenCamera button not good for taking pictures, requires probably 3-4 times as much force as my mirrorless to press. Results in change of framing.iOS 18 has been fairly buggy early on, no deal breakers but some annoyances8GB RAM instead of say 12, feel like the Pro should get more.I feel like this is a good year to upgrade if you are starting to have performance/battery issue with your old phone. But if you like to jump in for new features this seems like a year to pass. I'm firmly in the former camp and would much prefer year 2-3 of a package after refinement and consolidation which this seems like.

[Rewarded Review] iPhone 16 Pro 256GB

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!
