User Opinions

this capture button is the biggest waste of space ever

msnova

• 3mo ago

So basically, the only new thing is the vertical camera setup. pass!

echopilot88

• 3mo ago

Bro at this point I'm clutching my iPhone 13 until it stops working

gigatrekker

• 3mo ago

Only Apple could sell a phone with a 60Hz display in 2024 and get away with it

spinmaster_6

• 3mo ago

Not gonna lie, the new color options are the best thing about this release.

icebreaker_73

• 2mo ago

120Hz on the base model when, Apple? WHEN?

cachewalker

• 2mo ago

At this point, Apple is just making tiny changes and calling it a revolution.

phantomsync

• 2mo ago

The only real upgrade is the chip, and even that barely matters for most people

glitchfalcon

• 2mo ago

the iPhone 16e is much better value

sammytalks

• 2mo ago

Just feels like Apple phoned it in this year… hard to justify the upgrade if you already have a recent model.

streamzoned

• 2w ago

Vertical camera feels weird but okay

hypermeme

• 2w ago

It's just… not worth the upgrade for me

clickmatter

• 2w ago

still no touch ID? meh

flairdrop

• 2w ago

The chip is fast but not noticeably faster

signalblaze

• 2w ago

16 feels like a 15s, not a full upgrade

Weeniemck

• 1w ago

This will age better than people think

bitspanner

• 1w ago

Got it as a gift, would've waited otherwise

glitchnova

• 1w ago

Where's the wow factor Apple?

sparkradar

CEO of overpriced phones...
