Fair at Best

Phone owned for less than 3 months

I’ve been an Android owner forever. I switched to the iPhone 16 ProMax and wish I hadn’t. I do like FaceTime, and Apple Pay, and the design over the Samsung 24 Ultra that my youngest has. The rest of the phone is just backwards to me. I think the way Androids work is far superior to the iPhone. I may trade this in.

Nothing change from last 6 year

Phone owned for less than a month

not a good phone especially in battery and camera .. they should improve camera and battery by it least 10x time from the previous iPhone 15 pro max and they should need to change the look now it has been 6 years that we receiving only one look for the pro max versions. they should need to focus on battery in first and then add some more features like finger print lock and unlock ... some time face lock is not working properly and then we put the code ..

Well, I was using before always all lines since 11 pro max, 13 pro max , 14 pro max... There is no revolution in that model, however , working perfect , battery as expected, ok. screen , haptics perfect, new photo camera switch - good idea, (it would beget to have it different place , but acceptable) the adjusting of photo is insane, zoom looks really good, materials, finish at the best quality of iPhone familly , system iOS working properly , fast.
