I blame myself. I reviewed the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max and then, as I usually do, went on social media and said people could ask me anything. Usually, I get five or six questions. This year, I got hundreds, and they reveal a lot about how long people hold onto their iPhones and what they do and don't consider when considering upgrading to Apple's latest flagships.
First, let's offer a quick primer on what these new phones offer. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are essentially the same smartphone in two different sizes. Both offer slightly larger screens than the last models, A18 Pro chips, iOS 18, no Artificial Intelligence out of the gate, updated cameras, and the new Camera Control.
