It’s been 9 months with the iPhone 16, and it’s time for a real, long-term review. When Apple launched this phone, the big selling point was Apple Intelligence. But after a delayed rollout and months of use, is it actually any good?
In this updated review, I’m diving deep into my honest experience using the iPhone 16 as my daily driver. We’ll talk about the subtle but important design changes, the beautiful display with its new 1-nit minimum brightness, and whether the new Action and Camera Control buttons are actually useful.
More importantly, we’ll discuss the A18 chip’s incredible gaming performance, the solid all-day battery life, and the one thing I wish this phone had: a 120Hz ProMotion display. Is the fantastic camera enough to make up for the underwhelming AI and the 60Hz screen? Watch the full review to find out if the iPhone 16 is still the right phone for you in 2025.
