He's gonna end up purchasing an iPhone 16 Pro Max/Ultra and then make a video after "DON'T BE FOOLED"

A “mini pro” would be my dream iPhone

Bro I absolutely love big screens. If you don’t like it just buy the smaller non max iPhone 16. At this point you are just nit picking.

It’s okay breathe 🧘 just don’t get the phone 📱 this year I promise you won’t die 😂😂😂

This guy should quit squawking; he’s going to preorder the large model as soon as it’s available.

I hate the larger size, always prefer the smaller pro model.

As an iPhone 13 Mini user i really hate the way the screen size is going. I want my phone to fit nicely into a normal pocket. But the way thing are going we are soon going to have to use a bag for the phone. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S24 and it feels too big for me.

Hey Apple how about instead of big get a little be thicker instead to make room for more battery. Thicker be easier to grip, make that big camera bump look a little smaller and as I said room for more battery. Don't keep making iPhone bigger so it turns into a iPad Mini with a phone.

Apple needs to focus on battery life this year! 13 pro max was the last phone I’ve seen with a decent battery

BRING MINI PHONE BACK 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I hope they bring back the mini! 🥺

I've slowly adjusted to the larger screens, but I think its getting out of hand 🤣... I'm sticking with the smaller one and wishing they'd include the better camera.

Fun fact, we have been seeing 20% bezel reductions year on year for 5 years now. last year's 14 pro will actually be slightly wider than the 16 Pro bc the 15 Pro is about 1mm narrower than both. we're simply going back to the dimensions of the 14 pro, but with yet another bezel reduction on top.

I have a 13 mini and like it a lot, but if they add pencil support to the big 16, I’d consider getting that as a mini iPad Mini. I have a little purse that it could live in all of the time which is probably what people should be doing anyway with these extremely fragile, expensive, and capable computers.

Will the iPhone 16 Pro sold in Canada retain the SIM card slot?

If hypothetically the battery was identical in both, which would you choose then Greg?

Apple wants to increase prices. So a larger screen size is their excuse. What I actually want is a thinner and lighter pro model with only one camera.

I’m 100% with you on this one Greg. I want to upgrade my old phone but I don’t want this giant phone but still want the bigger battery and features. So this really sucks

Greg, Always love to see your content. I have precisely the same concerns. I'm on a 14 Pro Max, and would like the lighter titanium. However, to maintain my "every other model" upgrade path, I just can't see getting an even LARGER phone now that I'm due for the 16 Pro 🤦🏽‍♂️. I'd be willing to trade battery life for size. I always carry a MagSafe10k MA battery. Rarely am I worried about lack of power for a full day. We'll see what they bring us. Keep up the great vids!

It looks like they are keeping the same width but adding more height. I'm not sure if the exact dimensions have leaked yet

My last upgrade was from a 6S Plus to a 14. Obviously not in any hurry to upgrade...

I feel the exact same way about the 16 pm size as well.

Fair points. Even with a slim case, it won’t pass my front pocket test, coming from a XS Max.

I’ve just gotten used to the size with one hand without dropping it. The 16PM better be astronomically better otherwise I’ll stick to what I have.

I only tested the pro max phones at an Apple Store, and even a staff allowed me to try the pro max how it feels in my pocket or if I hold it in my hand while walking around. And, I wasn’t a fan honestly It’s one of those things what’s more important to you? A better battery / camera, or lighter and easier portability? There’s no right or wrong answer here, everyone has their own preferences. But to me, portability is just too important

11 Pro was my favourite size. On a 15 Pro, and was going to upgrade, but I’ll struggle if it’s even bigger. I’m a runner and cyclist, so carrying a lump of a phone is a pain. If I need a bigger screen I’ll use an iPad.

Great video. I agree with you about these new phones being “too big”. The problem I have is SOMETIMES Apple will put exclusive features in the largest device as you said. It’s not just the inherent advantages of larger display and battery that accompany a larger size but better features and technology differences even between the same tiers.

I have a 13 mini because of the size and planing on getting a 16 series in December and I will have to get in store and try them before buying for ones because a 5,4 inch to a possible 6,9 inch I think will just be to big of change for me

I just hope we get a screen that finally has some anti glare and more scratch resistant. Apple care doesn’t take care of scratches

Bro, I’ve been asking for a 6.9 inch iPhone since 2014 now that the bezels are nearly nonexistent the 6.9 inch up from the 6.7 inch is actually tenable I’m so excited and can’t wait

I’m with you about screen size. The only reason I picked up the 15 Pro Max was because of the camera features. If the only difference between the 16 Pro & Pro Max is battery life I’ll be getting the smaller phone. As for the rumored 17 slim/ultra/whatever…I’ll have to wait and see. If it’s all that and a bag of chips then yes, I’ll deplete my bank account for it.

15 pro is such a nice size feels great in the hand with the lighter titanium build

I am on 13 mini and I love the size, it fits nicely in my small purse :-). Please bring mini 16 back please !!!

People said they wanted a smaller iPhone. Apple made the mini models and no one bought them.

Approaching ipad mini :)

With the protective case on, my 14 Pro Max is ridiculous Greg. I can't fit it in any pocket. Like you, I'm going with the smaller model if they make the Max any larger.

If they make the phones bigger, they'll have to bring back the iPhone mini, because 6.3 base model would already be too big for many people.

"iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will remain the same size as their predecessors, with no size changes whatsoever"

When those rumors were first coming out I wasn’t really too worried; they just worked hard engineering wise to make the pro phones actually smaller. But it’s kept up in the rumors and now these models. Of course, people adapt the to these sizes

They should be making the SE 4 model the size of the 13 mini. It makes no sense to make it the same size as the regular iPhone

I think I have to watch this video again. I fell asleep a couple times

I'd be less concerned about an increase in the size of the phone rather than the weight. I have a 15 Pro Max and also a Galaxy S24 Plus. They have a nearly identical footprint but the S24 Plus is so much lighter that it feels more pocketable and easier to use for longer stretches. If Apple can get the 6.9" screen without making the phone heavier, I'd be just fine with that, especially if it means even more battery life.

I wanted a 15 pro for its even smaller frame size, but can’t justify it coming from a 14 Pro. I wish the 16 Pro with even smaller bezels had the 6.1” screen. I hope regular model stays 6.1” and gets the smaller bezels eventually.

I think devices shouldn't get to thin. You need something to hold onto and you need some bulk to keep the structural integrity.

The smaller model does everything I could ever need and it fits exactly where I want it to fit ! so I'm happy that less is more ! Whilst a bigger screen and an extended battery cycle could be useful to some people who are using their phones to record and stream long videos, edit photos on the go etc... my only interest in the larger model would be mainly larger memory and hard drive size... but then the phone would be far too clumbersome at almost 7 inches and more like a tablet PC ! so the smaller phone wins.

Totally agreed with you. Not upgrading my iPhone pro if the pro is bigger. They should go the opposite way, making them smaller

I loved holding the iPhone 11 Pro series. Those felt so great in the hand.

“Separate photo diodes from pixel transistors…I don’t know what that means.” Dude you are all of us. At this point they are just making things up to get us to buy it.

I love big screen. Super luxurious ya bast'd

Im using a 15plus i definitely plan on getting whatever phone has the best stuff because im thinking they might lock certain AI features to the pro models and since the bigger one will have bigger battery im forced into the pro max

I still use an iPhone 12 Pro. By and large I’ve enjoyed it - with a few exceptions… * So so battery life * When the weather turns warm, the iPhone easily overheats - especially in my car. * It’s heavy and causes hand fatigue after several minutes.

There are so many phones already on the market that have a bigger screen than the iPhone pro max and do just fine in sales. If the screen is getting too big for you, then I suggest moving down in size on the iPhone lineup. Simple as that. For someone like me who does have large hands, the larger size is a welcomed feature for me. But even for people who don’t have large hands, I’m sure this phone is still going to sell very well. Plus, it’ll be able to display ultra widescreen videos more accurately since it seems it is just getting taller and not necessarily wider in the hand.

I recently upgraded from the 12 pro max to the 15 pro max. I really like it. I like the larger size being that I'm a blind old bat and it can see stuff better. Also, the battery does last a very long time.

I'm in the small phone camp, currently using an iPhone 12 mini. But I do intend on upgrading come September :( Also I appreciate your respect for commenters to complain. I find it bizarre when content creators get frustrated about that.

Yes, I totally agree

I probably won’t upgrade this year, even though I typically upgrade every year or two. But we super-cycled last year, and got the whole family various 15 series models for the USB-C port, and sold all the old lightning ones. Nobody really needs a hand-me-down this year, so there goes my usual excuse for upgrading. 😂 But honestly, I’m super happy with the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apple will have to do something more than incremental before I’d upgrade again.

i would not panic too much. even tho the 6.3 inch 16 pro is gonna have a physically smaller battery than the 15 pro max. the actual battery life may even out in the end as the A18 pro chip is gonna have the TSMC N3E node same as M4 so alot more efficient. cus man this A17 chip is cooking hard.

If I ever upgraded from my 13 mini, I guess I’ll just have to fall back on a 15 pro. I can tolerate a 6.1” display phone, it’s even smaller in size compared to the 14 pro. But the 16 pro is out of my hands.

Ive been saying for the past few years that the PERFECT size is right in between the pro and premix

iPad Mini Pro (for speed) with OLED and cellular would be my dream on the go device. I sometimes take my iPad Mini 6 grocery shopping and tether to my iPhone hotspot. But if it has built in Cellular service i would eliminate the iphone in my pocket.

Bring back the 5.8" size of the iPhone X, XS and 11 Pro!!

Finally I won't need a measuring Tape. The 6.9 inch iPhone will be the perfect measuring tool. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😮😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊

Agreed. What was great about the 15 Pro Max was that, at least width wise, it was slimmer than the 14Pro Max. That, plus the better camera, made me get the Pro Max.

The fact we wont get any real changes until the 17.. disappointing

It does not really matter I like both big and compact phone you just have to get use to it

I always found iPhones too slippery, therefore requiring a very thin case. Otherwise your hand aches from holding on to it in a long telcon. Wish I didn’t need a case. Sure, I would go for an ultra thin iPhone.

I worry about the size also, soon it wont fit in your pocket. And going to a smaller zice is not for me cause I like the bigger size and the better battery you get with the pro max.

I’d honestly like to see an iPhone with a 7.5 inch display.

I have a 13 mini and I don’t really want to upgrade because I don’t want the larger size. I have an iPad, a MacBook and an Apple Watch. I don’t want a larger phone. I want the phone to stay small.

decreasing the bezel is dumb in my opinion, the way it is right is just perfect pointless to decrease it even more

NICE! Bigger screen iPhones are welcome for media streaming purposes.

I’m waiting for the 7.9” iPhone ultra that runs Mac OS when docked.

Still using the SE 2nd Gen, and would not trade it for anything else.

iPhone screens used to be 3.5 inches. Doubling that would be 7 inches. That is how much larger iPhone screens have become.

The improvements that were previewed on M4 suggests the iPhone chip will sip less energy and extend battery life on both 16pro models of iPhone.

Greg, I hear everything you have said. I agree in probably most of what you said. I am still either iPhone 14 Pro Max. I am thinking about waiting until the 16 pro max arrives. After your video, maybe I will wait until the 17 pro max. There was a time that leaks and rumors were really a thing. Nowadays it causes more of a chess match. I almost switched to Android this year because as much as I like my iPhone, I am sort of bored with it. Each year makes wonder is it worth me to upgrade to the newest model or not.

I have the 15 Pro Max and love the size. I’m totally fine with an extra .2 inches of screen size bring it on! Shoot at some point this phone might end up being the iPad mini Pro many of us want and Apple won’t give to us! 😅

I gave up on the max’es years ago. Very painful to carry

They put exclusive features on the pro max because it’s not the “pro” it’s the “pro max”.

Makes sense the phone needs to stop at 7 inches it would be too big otherwise 7 inches is perfect we finally get a bigger screen size closer to the S24 Ultra we’re getting there next the iPhone 18 will be 6.6 inches by 2026 so that will be awesome 6.6 and 7.1 inches

I can't wait to record the disassembly of this phone. I wonder if there will be any major changes inside. I hope that Apple won't prepare some revolutionary solution for mounting the screen, because then there is always a risk of damage when you are one of the first in the world to do it and you don't know what to expect 😅

I hope they don't make the pro max bigger!! Just reduce the bezels only would be amazing. Under screen Face ID. I doubt that will happen. I won't upgrade if they make the phone size as big as you eluded too. A bigger batter is a must though! Apple really need to sort that out. I bet they will pop an M4 chip in the pro models!

I agree the battery size is why I go with the pro max too.

Thanks, Greg

I’ll just stay with my 13 mini. I’ve had it with those monster phones.

They may need a bigger envelope to handle heat dissipation. It’s basically M1 chips in these things.

I’m coming from a iPhone pro max 13max. So I’m going for the 16 pro max and invest in a fany pack.

iPhone 17 … little early to be making wild guesses

I'd like an all screen phone, I don't need a selfie camera and will happily do without it to have a clean screen

I have the 15 plus and am getting tired of such a big phone. Hoping the 16 pro will work for my old eyes. Because, I agree with you, totally, no way could I go to a 16.9 😮. Just hope they both get the 5x zoom. Or maybe I’ll wait for the 17 to see if they get rid of the Dynamic Island 🏝️

Nope I’ve been longing for a bigger screen 6.9 or even 7.1 BRING IT. Can’t wait

They will need to clear the 6'7 casing

I agree i have a 14 pro max and when the 16 comes out i am going back to the 6.1/6.3 regular iphone...the max is too heavy and does not fit well in pockets,,,,i am tired of keeping it in my pack. For women who use purses all the time this may not be a big deal but for guys trying to fit the max in jeans pockets it is a deal breaker. I will miss the bigger screen real estate but it is what it is

Apple should just change their name to FOMO. It's their business model after all, a series of $100 upgrades that probably costs them less than $5 each.

To all of you who are missing the point of this video, you don't belong in this section. Ok now onto the important bits. Yes I think you are right about this size. I bought the larger screen size even though I am blind for the bigger battery, since I use a lot of GPS apps and camera apps. Thus I need the most battery. But I agree, any bigger and it will just be too much. I'll still buy the larger phone because I don't have a choice, I need it. But it really sucks that for people who are in similar situations as myself, we are stuck going up and up in screen size. The perfect size is the regular models, but like Greg said, the Pro Max has all the tech, all the battery, all the everything. In short, I do think the screen is too big and whether or not I buy this phone regardless has no baring on whether or not the increased screen size is justified. And yes there are people out there who like the larger screens. This comment isn't for you. You already know what you want, and what you want is valid. But for anyone who is actually affected by the increase, I too feel for you

Bring back the iPhone mini!

I’m in the exact same predicament 😂

Big screens suck, because big phones suck. iPhone mini was the perfect size. It was just missing the Touch ID.

that's greatest news ever. I have iphone 14 pro and I regret not getting max and max is still too small for me. Something like Z fold 5 is great for me.

You will not flip-flop. You may flop-flip. 🙂
