So we got a chance to unbox the Pro and Pro Max iPhone 16
0:03
but what about the standard iPhone 16s, which in some ways seem more interesting this generation
0:09
because they have most of what the Pro and Pro Max have, but at a more affordable price
0:13
and arguably in colors that people are more excited for. Mo is definitely more excited for these colors right here
0:19
This one they're calling teal. Maybe this one's my favorite. I don't know, the San Jose Sharks
0:23
This is Mo's favorite, which is called Ultramarine, and I think he likes it because it's called Ultramarine
0:28
At least it has to be part of it. Obviously, we have the Plus and the standard size
0:33
They've rearranged the camera layout on the back. These devices do have quite a bit of wobble because of that camera layout
0:38
I'm going to compare the wobble to the previous generation with the diagonal camera layout
0:43
We'll do a wobble comparison very soon. I was surprised that Apple gave the camera control functionality to the standard model, not just the Pro
0:52
Because it kind of seems like a Pro feature and a way for them to differentiate them. But they know more than I do
0:56
They've got all kinds of data and market research. That is a beautiful color. Ultramarine. Yeah, they have all kinds of data to suggest where they need to be at from a price
1:04
point perspective and which ones are going to be their hot models and which features they should
1:08
have in there. So we have camera control on the standard iPhone. This is a little bit lighter
1:12
There's no titanium here. We've got the aluminum frame finish on the back. I think it's pretty nice
1:17
I mean, definitely an iPhone. I'm pretty sure that's an iPhone. USB-C. We've also got the
1:22
physical SIM tray, Canadian version. We have eSIM built in as well. Big power switch, volume rocker
1:28
action button. Pretty nice package, starting at a lot less than the Pro model. The unboxing
1:33
experience is identical as we carry on. Braided USB-C cable packed up in the origami style
1:39
And the good old SIM tool unchanged for generations. Now, when it comes to comparing
1:45
the 15 to the 16, good lord, they are very, very similar. Very, very similar. In form factor
1:51
let's do that wobble test that I am so curious about. In the very corner, we're okay on the 15
1:58
As we move up the device, we increase our wobble. We do get wobble in the very..
2:03
Oh, we get a double wobble. It's more wobbly. We get wobble here, wobble here, wobble here
2:09
Whatever. I mean, a lot of smartphones are wobbling at this point. It's a plague. It's a wobble plague
2:13
Of course, Google cares about these things. Shots fired. That's up to you to decide
2:17
All right, let's move on to the teal. See how it compares to the ultramarine
2:22
And this is the plus size iPhone. 16 standard Oh I love it Is it enough to persuade Mo to change his mind Ultramarine versus teal Teal is very nice He says teal is very nice Do we have previous gen plus We do
2:39
And once again, we are extremely comparable. Wobble test. Oh, wobble test gets even worse
2:45
That one wobbles if you touch it, if you try to make it wobble. But when you place it down
2:49
it's no wobble. This one, you place it down and it just wobbles. Do you know what I mean? It just wobbles when you just place it on the table
2:54
15 sits there unless you aim to make it wobble. Okay, I'm going nuts here with this wobble thing
3:00
But if we go instead and compare to the new Pro models, we can see the scale difference there
3:05
Pro Max versus iPhone 16 and Pro 16 versus standard 16. You can also tell here that the non-Pro variant is slightly thinner, which is cool
3:16
I mean, it's slight, but it is there. This episode has been sponsored by ESR and their brand new iPhone 16 case
3:21
So let's start with the Tough Case, Exceed 7X military-grade protection, foldable stash stand built-in
3:27
designed to work with MagSafe. This is gonna be your super rugged option
3:32
You can see the MagSafe on the back, and we have a multi-layer setup
3:36
We have coverage on the power port, and of course, we've also got access for camera control now
3:40
So this is what's called the foldable stash stand, and this obviously allows you
3:44
to have a better viewing experience. Hybrid case with stash stand, Clear color, halo lock, magnetic case, stash stand
3:53
Still get that functionality like that Slightly less of a tank than the tough case
3:59
But arguably more stylish I also noticed that the stand changes color from a darker metallic to a silver
4:05
So next up we have the soft case Satisfying texture, very soft
4:10
Still got our MagSafe built in Still have access to our camera control
4:13
A microfiber soft touch interior They're actually stating that this one is 3x military grade protection as well
4:21
So similar protection level to the hybrid. The other thing about the stand is you can pick between a number of angles, depending on what's ideal
4:30
And then last up, we have their new ultra-tempered glass screen protectors
4:34
With their included applicator, you simply drop it into this jig, pull the tab, and the screen protector is installed perfectly
4:42
So let me know down in the comments if you're gonna pick up one of these new cases for your new iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max
4:47
Which go for the tough the hybrid or the soft? Okay, so I got them both booted up now
4:52
I have to admit that just handling the devices the regular iPhone 16 is the most comfortable to hold one two It the thinnest lightest so i not too surprised by that now let talk a little bit about the differences between the 16
5:07
and the 50 the display it's identical we now have the action button where the switch used to be so
5:13
we get to feel like we bought the pro model even though we didn't that's good apple intelligence
5:18
coming soon don't call it ai unless you're gonna say the whole thing apple intelligence they invented
5:24
it you didn't know it was never artificial it was always apple intelligence the most intelligent
5:29
we got the camera control functionality now that wasn't on the previous generation it's now capable
5:33
of macro on that same camera spatial photos and videos and you're getting the latest generation
5:40
photographic styles that come with that a18 chip how about i give you a little improved battery life
5:46
to the tune of two hours magsafe wireless charging has improved it's faster now this is looking a lot
5:51
like the pro spec sheet except you don't have to pay as much i think a lot of people are just gonna go with this one maybe not this color because mo and i both agree that in person i
5:58
think he used the term radioactive which is maybe a little extreme there's something off about this
6:03
color in person i don't know to each their own but the more i look at it the more i'm like teal
6:08
and i say it in that exact voice i go like this i go teal 128 gigabyte teal they're like sir what
6:15
is the matter with you ay yi yi one nit minimum brightness it is like i'm reading the pro spec
6:20
cheat here cinematic video stabilization why do you have to buy the pro model why you gotta buy
6:25
huh to get an extra camera i guess and to get your titanium bro your phone's not even titanium
6:30
so bro your phone's not even titanium so what are we doing what are we doing your phone's not even
6:36
titanium so what are we doing so everybody knows that guy everybody knows that guy you've met that
6:41
guy before listen this is the phone you should get just get the iphone 16 that's my verdict this
6:46
year if you have to get an iphone this year lamb yeah why you need the pro model mo why are you
6:51
yelling about the pro model pro model this pro model that okay the wide doesn't look the ultra
6:55
wide maybe doesn't look quite as good these ones look good though look at those look at the regular
6:59
standard focal length 1x that's kind of what you're lacking there your ultra wide doesn't look
7:04
quite as good it's tough on these screens like you just look at the roof the sharpening like it's
7:08
it's just obvious there's just too much resolution on the other one i presume that on video we're
7:12
gonna be 4k 60 we got the same chip right 4k 60 and no 4k 120 because otherwise what is pro that's
7:56
We quickly get in the camera. Bam! We're in. You can pause videos now
8:00
I don't know if you knew about that. You can pause a video recording. It's a new feature
8:04
It's very useful. I use that feature. I'm happy about it. Continue the recording
8:08
Sounds fine. I want to see what kind of box. Sounds fine. Sounds loud. I'll pinch for you
8:13
This looks a lot different than the... Pinch right in there for you, brother. It's way lighter
8:18
And it has almost like a... Yeah, I think this year, maybe more than ever, or more than I can remember in recent
8:23
I'm sure other people probably said this, and you probably watched those videos, to this year i mean you probably don't really need the pro model unless money is no problemo and you're
8:32
just giving the desert storm i know it's desert titan sounds funnier if i say desert storm you
8:37
understand and it should have been more desert storm color in my opinion when i had to mock up
8:41
desert storm man look at that this is what i wanted instead we got that like another like
8:46
white phone basically nah anyway this is the entry point and it has the vast majority of what you're
8:53
going to end up using and liking on the other devices yeah if you can't see yourself needing
8:57
those studio audio features the extra camera 4k 120 bigger battery obviously bigger screen
9:02
like if those things are not absolutely major to you you can save your money this year and you can
9:07
get the iphone 16 or you can save even more money and wait until the next generation it's completely
9:12
up to you you know what i mean 2024 like you know if you need a new phone or not i think we're past
9:16
just buying these things every single generation because we have to and the iphone always represents
9:20
It's an opportunity to speak to the audience on that topic of like, how often should we be buying and upgrading things
9:26
It's just this phone is like the marker. It's like the test. It's like the economic test
9:30
Like, hey, where are we at? Where's the disposable income? But then also it's like, hey, where are we at from a technology perspective
9:36
Like have things in this segment kind of slowed down a little bit? Like, are we seeing as many massive improvements
9:42
Are people feeling as compelled? These are the conversations I have in public, in public, like in the world
9:46
and I suppose now in public here on the internet, which is also somewhere in the world
9:52
Good night
