Is upgrading to the 16 Pro worth it?

I currently have a 14 Pro and I’m trying to decide if upgrading to the 16 Pro is worth it. For those who’ve made the switch, how has your experience been?

Honestly, it’s not much different from the 12 Pro I had before it, so I’d guess it’s even less of a jump from the 14 Pro.

How’s the battery life?

That depends on how you use it. Some days I end the day with 20% left, other days I’m down to 40% by lunchtime. For example, today I barely used it, so I’ll probably have 70% left by the end of the day. My average day runs from 5 AM to 11 PM, but I don’t use screen time tracking so I can’t give you exact usage stats.

The screen sometimes becomes unresponsive, especially while typing. I think it’s a software bug.

Otherwise, it’s almost identical to my 14 Pro, aside from the camera button (which I don’t care about) and the action button (also not a big deal for me). USB-C is nice though.

Makes sense. I’m debating whether to hold off or go for it.

Hold off for the 17!

I hear you, but I can get the 16 Pro for $5 a month, so it’s tempting.

@Willow
$5 a month for how long?
