iPhone 16 Plus

Been using mine for 9 months, BH of 100% and 156 CC as of today. Excellent camera too! On iOS 26 PB 2 and i'm loving it more!

[...] Phones keep getting more expensive while doing basically the same thing for some reason. [...] I bought an iPhone 11 in 2019 I think? It last until 2 years ago when I limped along until the iPhone 16 Plus. I like the big screen area. The premium for Pro isn't worth it to me. [...] I want a big screen. [...] No amount of slightly better CPU and camera is going to get me to upgrade every year anymore.

I have used it for past 6 months now. I feel the iphone 16 has lot of glitches when compared to any samsung phone and camera is sometimes not that great as S24. [...]

I was a dedicated android user from the mid 2000s, I’ve rarely regretted a purchase more than I do the iPhone 16 plus that I bought 3 months ago. Not because it’s a bad phone (I actually love it) but because now I know that Tim Cook is a shill. When this phone croaks I’ll be going back to Galaxy

Got an iPhone 16 Plus: Apparently somehow needed to have an "Apple account." Don't want one -- don't want to be subservient, subordinate to, dependent on Apple or hurt my privacy -- but relented and applied -- refused!!!!! [...] Using some computing that has a real keyboard, 30" screen, an 8 core AMD processor, and Windows and actually works, eventually got to Apple online help. Was advised to press the "Down Volume" button. I asked which one of the five was that button, and the help staff didn't know. Soooo, not even the Apple help operation knows what the buttons do. [...] I declared the iPhone 16 Plus a disaster, expensive, useless, worthless, at best a puzzle box, and will return it to Xfinity. Actually, of course, the iPhone is a grand triumph of electronic engineering, optics, software, etc. -- still for new users is useless and worthless as a phone, i.e., won't make or receive calls, just won't; several hours a day of absurd mud wrestling in the dark for several days yielded no utility at all. [...]

I have had this phone for a while now and the battery life is 👌🏻. [...] No battery packs. [...] I would recommend this phone for anyone who doesn’t want to upgrade to something “too fancy” I went from a 15 pro max and gave up the 120 display and always on display for the battery life. It’s worth it.

I switched from my pathetic 15pro about 2 weeks ago in August 2025 and got the 16+ although it’s also 2nd hand but has 98% battery health despite having 255 charging cycles. My 15pro has battery optimisation and only charged to 90% and 155 battery cycles yet the battery health is already 96% even though it’s my secondary phone. Cheers to using plus iphones!

Recently bought 16 plus noticing that my phone feels little warm even doing normal task like reel scrolling using snapchat facebook whatsapp instagram email only updated it to the latest ios when turning it on for the first time. [...]

Whenever I post videos on here, they get weirdly distorted, like the colours look saturated. But they’re normal on my phone (iPhone 16 plus), and I don’t do any editing to them. Any idea why?

[...] The first thing I installed on his iPhone 16 Plus was the Google app. [...] I’ve completely stopped using search for anything moderately complicated and have been using the paid version of ChatGPT since it integrated web search almost two years ago. [...] Siri use to be good at that and gave you reliable answers by going directly to bespoke data sources for it. It’s much easier to tell Siri “remind me to get the milk out of the back seat when I get out of the car” (or get in the car, get home, etc) than configure that manually. That works as long as usually pair your phone with the car over Bluetooth.

Most phones get hot if playing a game while charging. [...]

I have the 16 plus and absolutely love the performance, battery life, and cameras. However, I’m seriously considering switching to the 16e. I thought I’d get used to the size of the plus but it’s just too big.

I bought it a year ago and never regretted it. A solid phone with a great camera and display. [...] And the battery life is pretty great too.

I’ve had this phone for over a year now and I love how big and light it is.

When I first got my 16 plus in march 2025 I used to get 2 days of battery life, now I have to charge it twice a day

I too had it for 3 months and sold and bought s25 ultra. My issue is exactly opposite of you, i needed bigger phone so i got it. But the refresh rate was very bad, such big screen with 60 hrtz display seems like very slow compared to smaller size.

This phone is worth the money I spent just few months ago , I am really happy that I dint go for 16 pro and I am settled for at least 4 yrs now

I bought my iPhone 16 Plus, then the newest model, for INR 82K. A new iPhone 16, no plus, is now INR 90K The currency has cratered, yes, but this is just ludicrous

[...] The seller was selling it cheap as they advised it would not charge (usb-c charging doesnt work) but wireless charging does. [...]

I finally ordered a 16 plus today because my 8 plus that I got mid-2019 battery finally started to give out lol

I had the original 16 and then upgraded to the 16 plus for the battery and bigger screen. I’ll be rocking with this one for a bit.

The iPhone 16+ is the perfect size for my hand, even when I’m driving it is the size for clicking voice text, or picking a song. When I had the base 14 it was so tiny I could barely type.

I got 17 pro max and Samsung with 120hz Samsung broke so got 16 plus the 60hz so much better on iPhone I can barely tell difference just my opinion think it’s great phone got it like new 500 pound best money Iv spent

After getting 16 plus. I had no regrets and it's true that even though it's 60hz, you kinda get used to it (coming from S25 Ultra) after several days. This will be my phone until my next renewal

[...] The pros of a big screen iPhone that's not a tank in the hand + the battery life + teal has made it an absolute workhorse. I literally came from nothing but pro iPhones for this, so yes I lost high refresh, and it's honestly been worth it despite the trade off. [...]

[...] Great battery life experience for me in both devices!

What about the os lagg?? [...] Os is lagggy too laggy. Games are also laggy. I went store for this problem they formate my phone and reinstall update still the same problem its irritate a lot. [...]

I wouldn't recommend it, ios is great, but there are lots of problems with the base model that no one talks about unless you've actually used it.

Display is poor quality with low refresh rate, low PWM dimming, lower resolution compared to competition, dynamic island is a gimmick and uses screen space for no reason I'd rather have screen instead of dynamic island, USB 2.0 and charging speeds are a bummer and you don't even get a charger in the box.

I got the bright pink iPhone 16 Plus. I'm excited for a new toy.

I am coming to GrapheneOS from iOS, as recounted in My experience with seedvault is not as positive as the OP, it fails for about half my apps. I guess I have another year to fix this when the GrapheneOS enabled Motorola flagship comes out. I carry both my iPhone 16 Plus and my Pixel 8 Pro, but limit my iPhone use to mobile banking, Apple Pay and Find My.

[...] Got the 16 Plus because I thought I wanted a bigger screen but it was just too big. [...] Still get similar battery life with this phone.

I just got the iPhone 16 plus in white yesterday. I wasn’t a fan of the air and the iPhone 17 is too small. They should’ve had an iPhone 17 plus.

I’m wondering if I’ll switch to Android the next time I upgrade my phone (at least 2 years away). I got a iPhone 16 Plus and they removed the plus model from the iPhone 17 so if I want a phone this size, I’d need a Pro Max, the most expensive one. All this to say, the RedMagic 11 Pro looks so cool.

On Friday, I bought myself an iPhone 16 Plus. [...]

I upgraded from 12 mini to 16 but i dont feel any difference except bigger screen size
