iPhone 16 Pro One Month Later: The Single Improvement That Convinced Me to Upgrade

The author, an iPhone 15 Pro Max user, was initially disappointed with the rumors surrounding the iPhone 16 lineup, believing there were no interesting upgrades aside from larger displays. However, one key upgrade that wasn't widely rumored convinced the author to upgrade: the improved battery life on the smaller iPhone 16 Pro model. The author had always wanted a smaller phone but didn't want to compromise on battery life, and the iPhone 16 Pro offered similar battery performance to the iPhone 15 Pro Max despite its smaller size. This, combined with the addition of the 5x telephoto camera on the smaller model and improvements in thermal performance, made the decision to upgrade easier. The author also shares their experiences with Apple Intelligence, Camera Control, and the Desert Titanium color.
