For people like me, a “Pro” iPhone is no longer a must-have.
You get the latest A18 processor, andreports indicate that all iPhone models ship with 8GB of RAM.
Once you move into Pro territory, you’re spending at least $999.
The Plus offers a lot of great features, and a larger display, for $899.
I don’t think the Pro justifies the extra $100 minimum.
One could go as far as to say that the iPhone X was the first “Pro” iPhone.
If you wanted the latest and greatest hardwareyou know, somethingnewyou had to buy a Pro.
With the iPhone 16 generation, that line is now blurry.
you’re able to use the iPhone comparison tool on Apple’s website and verify this yourself.
This is a smaller list than what we’ve seen with the 14 and 15 series iPhones.
The biggest advantage to the Pros, in my view, is with video recording.
That’s no longer necessary.
To that point,as the rumors suggested, the iPhone 16’s batteryis now easier to replace.
Similarly, Verizon’s CEO has claimed that many iPhone ownerskeep their devices for over three years.
Modern iPhones are powerful, reliable, and stable.
When you look at the changes from one generation to another, you aren’t missing out on much.
This year, I’ll trade in the iPhone XS and move to the 16 series.
The choice for me is between the iPhone 16 Plus and the iPhone 16 Pro.
If Icanstretch my budget a little, I might even treat myself to the 512GB variant.
