The battery itself is bigger, which is great. But if I\u2019m honest, getting more battery life hasn\u2019t been as important to me as the improved thermals.<\/p>\n<p>My iPhone 15 Pro would <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/09\/06\/my-iphone-15-has-an-overheating-problem-but-apple-has-a-fix-for-the-iphone-16\/\">regularly overheat outdoors<\/a>, particularly in very inconvenient moments when I was trying to capture a special memory.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the internal changes made to the 16 Pro, I can\u2019t remember my iPhone getting overly warm a single time in the last week. With improved cooling, the 16 Pro is able to maintain peak performance in a variety of environments.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-nit-minimum-brightness\">1 nit minimum brightness<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-pro-brightness-1-nit.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"Brightness 1 nit minimum 16 Pro upgrade\" class=\"wp-image-970871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-pro-brightness-1-nit.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-pro-brightness-1-nit.jpg?resize=155,78 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-pro-brightness-1-nit.jpg?resize=655,328 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-pro-brightness-1-nit.jpg?resize=768,384 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-pro-brightness-1-nit.jpg?resize=1024,512 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-pro-brightness-1-nit.jpg?resize=1536,768 1536w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-pro-brightness-1-nit.jpg?resize=350,175 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-pro-brightness-1-nit.jpg?resize=140,70 140w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-pro-brightness-1-nit.jpg?resize=1600,800 1600w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-pro-brightness-1-nit.jpg?resize=290,145 290w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-pro-brightness-1-nit.jpg?resize=150,75 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>The iPhone 16 Pro\u2019s Super Retina XDR display gains several upgrades over last year\u2019s model. The screen is larger, and it has a stronger Ceramic Shield. The most noticeable change for me, though, is how dim it gets.<\/p>\n<p>iPhone 16 Pro can go as dim as 1 nit of brightness. Apple hasn\u2019t published the minimum brightness of the 15 Pro, but in comparing the two side-by-side, it\u2019s definitely a noticeable change.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re ever using your iPhone in bed next to a loved one who\u2019s trying to sleep, or just in dark spaces in general, the dimmer 16 Pro display is a surprisingly nice upgrade.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5x-telephoto-lens\">5x telephoto lens<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/09\/Hands-on-iPhone-15-videos.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"Hands-on iPhone 15 videos | Pro Max camera app shown\" class=\"wp-image-907705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/09\/Hands-on-iPhone-15-videos.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/09\/Hands-on-iPhone-15-videos.jpg?resize=155,78 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/09\/Hands-on-iPhone-15-videos.jpg?resize=655,328 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/09\/Hands-on-iPhone-15-videos.jpg?resize=768,384 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/09\/Hands-on-iPhone-15-videos.jpg?resize=1024,512 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/09\/Hands-on-iPhone-15-videos.jpg?resize=350,175 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/09\/Hands-on-iPhone-15-videos.jpg?resize=140,70 140w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/09\/Hands-on-iPhone-15-videos.jpg?resize=290,145 290w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/09\/Hands-on-iPhone-15-videos.jpg?resize=150,75 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>I haven\u2019t used a Max phone in years, so my iPhone 15 Pro was limited to 3x optical zoom with the telephoto lens. The 15 Pro Max, however, offered 5x zoom.<\/p>\n<p>Now with the iPhone 16, both Pro models get 5x, and I am very much here for it.<\/p>\n<p>The vast majority of my photos are of course taken with the main camera. But I use my telephoto often too. And as many of last year\u2019s Pro Max users observed, going from 3x to 5x is <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2023\/09\/22\/first-impressions-of-the-iphone-15-pro-max\/\">a huge jump<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s taking a little time adjusting to the new zoom level for the telephoto, but I\u2019ve already been impressed and excited by the shots it\u2019s made possible.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-desert-titanium\">Desert titanium<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone16pro-desert-titanium.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"iPhone 16 Pro\" class=\"wp-image-967802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone16pro-desert-titanium.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone16pro-desert-titanium.jpg?resize=155,78 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone16pro-desert-titanium.jpg?resize=655,328 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone16pro-desert-titanium.jpg?resize=768,384 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone16pro-desert-titanium.jpg?resize=1024,512 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone16pro-desert-titanium.jpg?resize=1536,768 1536w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone16pro-desert-titanium.jpg?resize=350,175 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone16pro-desert-titanium.jpg?resize=140,70 140w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone16pro-desert-titanium.jpg?resize=1600,800 1600w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone16pro-desert-titanium.jpg?resize=290,145 290w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone16pro-desert-titanium.jpg?resize=150,75 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>After seeing Apple\u2019s photography, and hands-on videos from other press, I struggled to decide if desert titanium <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/09\/11\/desert-titanium-is-the-shiny-new-iphone-16-pro-color-but-is-it-more-gold-or-gray\/\">would be the right color<\/a> for me.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, I happen to love it. Most of the time it definitely looks gold\u2014what is what I wanted. Even when certain lighting makes the gold more subtle, the titanium accents bring a special shine that make the color undeniable. It\u2019s not in-your-face, but more like a nice champagne or rose-like gold. However you want to describe it, I\u2019ve been loving desert titanium.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iphone-16-pro-upgrade-wrap-up\">iPhone 16 Pro upgrade: wrap-up<\/h2>\n<p>Year-over-year iPhone upgrades are <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/casey\/status\/1839451473987719234?s=61&amp;t=a-bloX1n-TZ50ofqhetO1A\">totally unnecessary<\/a>. The changes aren\u2019t significant enough to make it worthwhile for most people. But if you always want the best iPhone, I get it\u2014I\u2019m right there with you. The iPhone 16 Pro has <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/iphone-16-pro-vs-15-pro\/\">a lot of advantages<\/a> over the 15 Pro. But in everyday use, we\u2019ll all have our own list of features that make the biggest difference for us. For me, the upgrades have been well worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Are you considering an upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro? Why or why not?
