Anyone else prefer the regular 16 over the 16 Pro?

This might be the first time I don’t go for the Pro version.

I don’t get why the Pro can’t have all the color options.

3

Yeah, the ultramarine 16 is chef’s kiss.

It definitely has better color choices. I don’t know why they stick us with these boring colors for the Pro. I’m getting desert titanium because it’s the only one that looks decent.

I’m thinking of switching from my 14 Pro Max to the 16 in teal because I love that color. It reminds me of the iPhone 11. But I don’t want to lose the 120Hz screen.

I was thinking the same thing. Do you really notice the difference though? I haven’t seen much between the older models.

Yeah, it’s not a huge deal for me. I love my 14 Pro, but the battery life is terrible, and we don’t get the new Apple features.

Teal is nice, but ultramarine is :fire:.

Same here! The teal looks great. My 14 Pro Max in purple is already at 85% battery health.

Mine’s at 85% too, and the battery drains so fast. Apple won’t replace it unless it drops below 80. I charge it with MagSafe overnight, and I wonder if that’s part of the issue. I’ve never had iPhone battery problems before. My iPhone 11 lasted 3 years and still had 85%. I got the 14 Pro at launch, and I know a lot of people are having issues with the 14 Pro batteries. Hopefully, the 16 won’t be like that.

I’m getting the 16 over the 16 Pro for sure. They have the same chip now, and I just like the 16’s design and colors more.

The 16 Pro just feels boring. The colors on the regular 16 pop more.

Ultramarine and teal are really tempting :sob:. I’ve got a 13 Pro Max though, so I’m not sure if the color is enough to make me upgrade.

The 16 Pro looks just like the 13 Pro :sob:.

You’re on your own with this one, bro :sob::pray:.

The colors are better, but design-wise? I’ll have to disagree. It really looks like an Android phone, and I’m sticking to that.

I miss the 14 Pro purple. A pink Pro would’ve been pretty cool.
