Allison Johnson of The Vergekicks off her review by saying , “ it ’s a good yr for the canonic iPhone [ 16 ] , and it ’s a good year to upgrade . ” However , she ’s not convince that Camera Control will be utile . “ I do like using it to plunge the photographic camera , ” said Johnson , “ but once I ’ve done that , I ’ve mostly go back to using the onscreen shutter . ”
John Velasco of Tom ’s Hardwarepoints out that the iPhone 16 ’s display is “ pleasant looking OLED panel that gets the job done for most things . ” Velasco imagine Camera Control is “ a step in the right direction ” but he wishes “ Apple added more controller — like access to the shutter velocity and ISO . ”
Lisa Eadicicco of Cnetsaid that the lack of an always - on presentation on the non - pro phones is “ the one ‘ Pro ’ feature I truly miss on a daily cornerstone when switching from the iPhone 15 Pro to the iPhone 16 . ” Eaadicicco also stated that the iPhone 16 ’s A18 flake “ perform smoothly and fleetly whether I was playing games , launching apps or scrolling through scope menu and photos . ”

Florence Ion of Gizmodothinks that because the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max have bigger video display than last year ’s models , “ the iPhone 16 Pro is now what I would consider the utter size without any compromise on the camera system . The iPhone 16 Pro Max is for those who secretly want an iPad as a phone . ” Ion also find that “ because [ the camera is ] more capable of process multiple brackets at a fourth dimension , it produces brighter photos than I was used to with the iPhone 15 Pro Max . ”
Cherlynn Low of Engadgetdoes not sound like a rooter of Camera Control , stating that its placement is “ unintuitive ” and that , “ Even for those with the strongest hook , swiping and one-half - pressing and twofold - half - pressing on the sensor is tricky . ” Low also detect it “ difficult to swipe through dissimilar options when holding the gimmick with one hand , ” and “ it also react to accidental touches and swipe . ”
David Snelling of Expresssaid that “ Apple continues to obstruct its Android competitor ” when it comes to execution . Snelling find that the iPhone 16 Pro Max ’s A18 Pro chip “ is around 17 percent quicker than the A17 Pro chip shot and the GPU offers up to 20 per centum better performance than [ the iPhone 15 Pro Max ] . ”
Wired ’s Julian Chokkattutook a exit from most reviewer who hold off on making evaluative statement about Apple Intelligence in the iPhone – it ’s not officially uncommitted and is only accessible through the iOS 18.1 developer beta . Chokkattu tested the 16 Pro with the iOS 18.1 beta , however , and read that , “ How utilitarian [ Apple Intelligence ] will be depends a lot on your work flow . ” Chokkattu also points out that with Apple Intelligence , Apple “ is deploying these feature article in a way that is arguably more private and dependable than anything that has fall before . ”
