Why you should upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro

The iPhone 16 smartphones are finally out in different territories including Canada and if you’re still not sure on whether you should get the iPhone 16 Pro or not, well, let me help you with some of the things that you might love about it based on my experience. 

Convenient camera control button

One of the biggest features of the new iPhone 16 Series is the addition of the camera control button. Not only that this makes it a shortcut for the camera app but it can also be used to control the zoom, exposure, and other stuff. The thing is, we still haven’t experienced its full features as the two-stage button will arrive later this year.

In my experience, it’s a pretty convenient feature as I was able to open the camera app immediately whenever I need it. It’s not the best experience for a control for a camera but it’s really helpful whenever you want to open the camera immediately from whatever app you are.

The camera is better than ever

I have been using the iPhone 15 Pro Max for taking videos for a quite while now and with the iPhone 16 Pro? It’s even better. The iPhone 16 Pro Max that I have been using now supports 4K120fps video recording and the ultrawide camera has been upgraded as well.

The combination of the camera hardware of the iPhone 16 Pro series and also apps like Blackmagic Camera app also makes the new iPhone a videographer’s portable powerhouse. In my experience of using this one, the iPhone 16 Pro Max has a lower ISO range and it has been better for taking macro videos and also A-Roll videos.

Aside from that, there’s Audio Mix as well where you can adjust the voice sound in your videos after shooting the video. This gives you the flexibility to have your own style of audio whenever you’re shooting.

More powerful

This applies to all of the iPhone 16 smartphones including the base version as the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro are capable of running AAA games like Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Death Stranding thanks to the A18 and A18 Pro chips inside these smartphones. Previously, only the iPhone 15 Pro smartphones are capable of running this games due to the power of the A17 Pro chips. 

This also means that future AAA games would be compatible with this as well and it is more powerful than ever. Besides, this is the first chip that is built for Apple Intelligence so future updates to Apple intelligence could probably be more future proof with this.

Larger display

Unlike the previous generations, the iPhone 16 Pro series got a larger display on both the iPhone 16 Pro and the Pro Max. Both smartphones are .2” larger with iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max at 6.3” and at 6.9” displays respectively. This will give gamers more space when they’re gaming on the smartphone and it does offer a thinner bezels on the smartphone. 

However…

However, if you’re still using an iPhone 15 Pro or an iPhone 15 Pro Max, well, It might not be the best time to upgrade your smartphone as the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are still awesome smartphones. But if you really want to have a better camera especially for video, a more powerful processor and a larger display then go for this one, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max.
