Apple iPhone 15 Pro
What does Jen say about the Apple iPhone 15 Pro?
The iPhone 15 Pro brings a titanium frame, Action button and USB-C, but the camera is almost unchanged. According to Jen, the switch is worth it for anyone with an iPhone 11 or older. If you have an iPhone 12 or newer, you aren't missing anything apart from USB-C.
Pros
- Titanium frame with a matte look, feels nicer in the hand
- 19 grams lighter than its predecessor
- Freely assignable Action button
- USB-C with USB 3, external hard drive can be connected
- Fast and smooth with the A17 Pro chip
Cons
- Camera setup like the iPhone 14 Pro, hardly anything new
- Battery only slightly bigger
- Little real innovation, the look has stayed almost the same

Apple iPhone 16 Pro
What does Jen say about the Apple iPhone 16 Pro?
For Jen, the iPhone 16 Pro is a thoroughly solid basic smartphone with an outstanding camera, but without real innovation and without AI. It is worth it at most for anyone with an iPhone 12 or older who has to stay in the Apple world.
Pros
- Thoroughly solid smartphone with a sleek design
- One of the best cameras on the market
- 48-megapixel ultrawide, 48-megapixel macro and 4K at 120 fps
- Up to 7 years of updates
- All ESR cases are MagSafe compatible and have the cutout for the camera button
Cons
- Hardly any innovation, the same design for years
- Camera Control is hard to use in portrait orientation and opens the camera by accident
- No AI, Apple Intelligence has no dates for the iPhone
- 3 mm longer, 0.9 mm wider and 12 g heavier: old cases don't fit
