In this video, I’m getting personal. I’ve used the iPhone 15 Pro in Natural Titanium as my daily driver since late 2023, and I’ve been putting this Pink iPhone 16 through its paces as my secondary device. We’re going to talk about what it’s actually like to use these phones with the brand-new iOS 26 “Liquid Glass” design—where that 120Hz ProMotion display on the 15 Pro really starts to show its worth.
We’ll break down:
Design & Materials: The long-term durability of Grade 5 Titanium vs. the vibrant, color-infused Aluminum of the 16.
The Display Debate: Why 60Hz is starting to feel like “old tech” in 2026 compared to ProMotion.
Performance & Thermals: A17 Pro vs. A18 benchmarks and how they handle AAA gaming and the new Gemini-powered Siri.
Real-World Battery: What 86% battery health looks like on a 2-year-old 15 Pro versus a fresh iPhone 16.
The Camera Gap: 3x Telephoto and ProRAW vs. the new Camera Control button and Visual Intelligence.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade from an older iPhone 12 or 13, or you’re just trying to find the best deal on the refurbished market, I hope this helps you make the right choice.

I still believe on the iphone myth that the
13, 15 and 17 are the best while 12, 14, and 16 are the beta phones
I am looking at both on Apple refurb store and the 16 is cheaper but I do want a pro camera now..

You just helped me make my mind up. Love the 15 pro. As a frequent user and material creator it is still the best choice with a brand new battery. Having said that, the iPhone 16 is a 'nice' everyday phone.
I just got a iPhone 15 pro for £360
Does the iPhone 15 Pro still have the issue of overheating even on iOS 26?
What would you choose (both refurbished, with 256GB): 16 for $600 (battery confirmed at 100%), or 15 Pro for $519 (Amazon refurb excellent, meaning battery between 80-90%)?
Where to buy refurbished iphone pros? I am from india and cannot afford a first hand pro
Why does your iPhone 15 pro have a camera control button ?
120hz kills battery like hell no one speaks on the trade off of battery to get a smoother scrolling
Do you ever notice screen adjustments being less accurate on the 120hz because it is constantly adapting compared to a locked 60hz ?
I have a 16 an its bought off amazon an its a great phone
5:05 since you are testing iPhone batteries, one has 86%, why don’t you spend $100 and get a genuine Apple battery so you can compare battery life between different models? Honestly that’s a dealbreaker.
i say i choose 15 pro cuz the Lidar, Titanium, 120hz+AOD, but tho i have to say im annoyed of how the battery(if bought 2nd hand) is kinda bad by now if not replaced and also how the 15 pro keep overheating cuz of high load or gaming without cooling solutions. 16 is a win win if u want performance, a camera control button, 60hz is not bad but not satisfied enough, it still drop fps after a while of gaming but if adding cooling solution it cools better than 15 pro but aluminum get easily scratched or dented, i got the black 16 and paint coming off like tiny spots, i would say 16 is for efficiency plus performance in trade of feeling of smoothness of 120hz, AOD, Lidar, Batterylife. English is not my primary and my description sounds all over the place, personal opinion of who used a black 16 and titan color 15 pro, i pick 15 pro over 16 but because i have phone cooler on wwhen gaming, tho overheat still happens but i will choose it over 16❤
