This is the Apple iPhone 16

So I just got these boxes in from China and you can probably tell from the labels that there's

something iPhone related inside. Well, I mean, these numbers indicate that. 16 Pro Max, 16 Plus

these are obviously not the official iPhone 16 products. Those don't exist yet. However

inside is the closest look, I guess you can get at the moment of what those phones are going to

look like because these things always come out of China prior to the actual iPhone launch. So

let's start by unboxing the one that's labeled 16. And the shocking thing that you're going to

notice immediately is the new layout of the camera section. And you're going to decide right now

whether you love or hate this decision by Apple to change this area because obviously in the past

it looked quite a bit different. So here is the iPhone 15 compared to the iPhone 16. And I don't

know, this was kind of intriguing, the diagonal layout. It was distinctive. You knew it was an

iPhone, whereas this layout is a little bit more typical, obviously. Some other interesting findings

here we have this is this going to be a secondary button it's not going to be removable storage

obviously anyway a dedicated button for apple intelligence yeah sure maybe obviously we have

this little button here where you used to have the switch but then that changed on the pro models

we have our volume buttons individual and then the sim slot on the other side down here of course

We're going to have type C speaker. And then I got to pull this sticker off here

Oh, it's one of these annoying ones. Oh, actually, very faint Apple logo being hidden by the sticker for shipping purposes, I'm sure

Now, the colors, what can we learn from it? Honestly, we never really know

Sometimes these early samples will have colors that don't end up coming to fruition

but this is like a pale pink type of color. The frame, however, looks like a typical aluminum color

It doesn't have a very strong pink tone on this particular model

Otherwise, the dimensions here look fairly identical, height and width. Look at them from the front

Almost no changes to the form factor by the looks of it

and the biggest change occurring in this camera department and then obviously with your colors

Hopefully we have some different colors here with the other models so we can compare This is labeled as 16 This gives us a glimpse at the black screen protector It kind of funny having a screen protector on a mock model phone So

same camera section, a brushed or matte finish on the frame in black. It does not feel titanium

in the form of this model, but I would assume they would keep the titanium aspect

for the Pro models. I don't know, these feel a little bit heavier

What does that mean on these? I don't know, but the materials on this feel more plasticky

obviously, than the actual official iPhone, but this is your Plus variant, same alteration

So I'll pull over the existing Plus, and there you can see the difference form factor

looking fairly identical again, if not exact. Height, width. Yeah. Sometimes these change slightly

but not this generation, it appears. These are, like I said, almost exact

Now the Plus model still has this secondary button section, which is tough to see on the black variant

So whatever that ends up being. Will says Apple Intelligence, which would be very cool if that was the case

but maybe even if it was just a programmable button, that would be cool

But it would feel comfortable holding that and pressing that button. Yeah, that's that area. Yeah, you can press it

You have to shift your hand down to here, hold it there

Your left hand on the other hand is lining right up with that

Now, if you go to the smaller phone, same idea. You hold here, you can press this

You slide up a little bit, you press here, slide down a little bit, it's this motion

You gotta do this motion in your hand. And next we have a Pro model also in black

and we have obviously a much bigger camera section, but the same layout that we're used to on the existing Pro

Now the materials feel identical between these two. I don't imagine that these are indicative

of the actual materials that Apple will be using in any way

Sometimes the colors, as I mentioned are, and if that's the case, then this black variant is quite black

Maybe more black than recent kind of almost black colors that Apple has used

And if I pull over the existing Pro, I have a device that is actually a little bit taller

That's interesting. So not identical in this case. This is a little touch taller

How much taller? Let's find out. So old model, calipers have the old one at 146.8 millimeters

or 5.77 inches. 5.77 inches, the new one, 5.89 inches, or 149.7 millimeters

So yes, this form factor has changed slightly. Let check width 71 2 Oh that a lot closer to identical

2.8 or 7113, that could just be material differences. That's not a significant alteration

compared to that height. That height has definitely changed. If these early mock-ups are accurate

then the next iPhone, the iPhone 16 Pro, will be taller than the iPhone 15 Pro

Let's check out the Pro Max. Here it looks like we have a 16 Pro Max

in white and silver, same button layout, huge phone, obviously even bigger than the Plus

The other interesting thing here, we have the same matte finish on Pro and non-Pro models

And if we compare this to the existing Pro Max, We have the same situation of a taller phone

by an almost identical margin to the Pro model. And the width, once again, looks to be close to identical

with a little bit of tolerance for the material differences from the actual iPhone to this model

So I don't think that's significant, but height is significant and it should allow the display inside

to grow ever so slightly with that small increase. So if you are thinking about picking up a new iPhone

iPhone 16, then we will absolutely have you covered with later case products

These, of course, are extremely thin phone cases that are made of DuPont Kevlar

and they're pretty much as thin as you can get. That material is chosen for the fact

that you can make it this thin but still have it strong enough to be rigid. And the beauty here is that you get

use your phone closer to the way that it was intended to be used by the manufacturer because

you've got such a thin form factor it really feels like you're holding your phone with no case at all

this is a later case in red we've also got the classic color willy blue a coffee color which is

my personal favorite and then there's midnight which is kind of like a double black very very

black it would go actually quite well with the black color of the new iphone 16 assuming that

they match this or come close to this particular model and don't forget we've also got our maglock

rings to match any color of phone that you choose this is actually going to enhance the magnetic

grip of your device and this actually goes on the outside of your layer case in order to get the

maximum magnetic lock so the other thing you always need to be thinking about if you're looking at a

new iPhone is how you're gonna charge it. And of course, our friends and sponsors at Anchor

have you covered in a number of different ways including 15 watt max wireless charging station for all of your Apple devices You get everything going at once You get the AirPods you get the Apple watch and of course the iPhone

And the nice thing here, this has an almost artistic quality to it

where it kind of looks nice just standing there on its own, even when you don't have any products on it

Kind of a nice setup there. Now you also are gonna get some sticky pads

for the Apple watch if you wanna increase grip on the magnetic charger there

but it has a little angle to it, so it doesn't really fall off. And they do include a power brick

since your new iPhone will not come with one. So MagGo is fully compatible

with Apple's original MagSafe and charges wirelessly at 15 watts just as fast as the original MagSafe charger

And a couple of options for you if you're looking for a power bank, we have the Anker Power Bank 30 watt Fusion

with a built-in USB-C cable. And then we've got a bigger one. This one is 10K, 30 watt capable

Look at this, it kind of almost matches some of the existing iPhone colors. Look at that

cable that stays with us all the time but it also sort of becomes like a way to hang the device or to

hold it flip down prongs so it's comfortable in your pocket and this isn't just a charger it's a

30 watt charger but it's a built-in battery as well so it works as your power backup and you can

go ahead and charge two devices at a time using a usb-c cable now this one is still going to give

you a secondary USB-C port so you can charge two devices, flip down prongs, comfortable to hold

and carry with you and just keep with you. Oh that's an iPhone. Gotta be shattered. That just

hit, this just hit the ground. I'm not even trying to promote the fact that these later cases are

the ultimate drop protection because that's not the intention. They're meant to be as thin as

possible but many people tell me they actually protect like many people are surprised when they

drop them sometimes and they look at their phone fully expecting it to be shattered and then it

isn't i just had that experience this went like from table height it went like this onto the

concrete floor but the small lip especially around the corners which you don't really feel

it just comes up enough that that drop hits case instead of screen and oftentimes it's enough for

resistance. I'm not telling you to go drop this thing, and I'm not telling you that it's an otter

box, because it's not, and that's not the intention. It's a totally different thing

but sometimes it saves your phone as well. Every so often. All right, so you guys go ahead and let

me know what do you think about this new look for the standard iPhone and the Plus model. Like

is it looking better to you on the 16, or did you prefer it on the 15? Also, let me know which one

you're most likely to buy. Are you more inclined towards the 16, 16 plus

or 16 Pro or Pro Max? Let me know in the comments
