After the new features of the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max were presented and analyzed, it’s time to evaluate the situation. And as I shared what I liked most about the new iPhone 16, I also have a list of my disappointments with the new Apple iPhonesI didn’t like this at all.

Without ProMotion on iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus

It’s 2024 and the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus still exist only a display with a fixed refresh rate of 60 HzThis was the only drawback I found with the iPhone 15 in my analysis, and it certainly remains the only weak point of the iPhone 16.

This is true Apple wants to differentiate its models by offering ProMotion only on its Pro modelsbut it’s already a 4-year privilege. Apple may choose to set a non-progressive refresh rate between 10 and 90 Hz instead of 1 to 120 Hz. This problem seems to be solved with the iPhone 17, but it may be one reason why many people don’t buy an iPhone. 16.

There’s a significant difference between the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro screens

Limited color range on iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max

The iPhone 16 Pro’s color gamut hasn’t been my favorite in recent yearstwo very similar colors such as natural titanium and desert titanium. It is complemented by the classic black and white color.

For example, iPhone 13 Pro comes in 5 different colors all: graphite, gold, silver, Sierra blue and Alpine green. This year, it users many options that are conspicuous by their absence.

Not the best range of colours we have

Telephoto sensor unchanged

The iPhone 16 Pro has made a significant leap forward over the iPhone 15 Pro’s worst sensor, now we have a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera that promises a lot. But, the telephoto sensor remains exactly the same: ƒ/2.8 aperture offering 12 Mpx, 120 MediaMarkt and 5x magnification.

It is true that this zoom is now also available on the iPhone 16 Pro, but it does not seem to be a sufficient improvement. 48 megapixel sensor included Completing the trio would be a more significant step that would not disappoint.

Without the Apple Intelligence launch (and who knows when in Spain)

This is probably one of the biggest disappointments. Apple Intelligence should have been a strong selling point for the new iPhone 16, but the devices They will come without any AI functionsIt will arrive in beta in a few weeks when iOS 18.1 is released.

Moreover, The launch is limited to English and the United StatesWe don’t know when it will arrive in Europe. Spanish will be added as a language in 2025, but that could be as early as iOS 19.

Recording at 120 fps with main camera only

iPhone 16 Pro has the ability to record video at 120 fps with the “Fusion camera” with Dolby Vision. The “Fusion camera” is a 48-megapixel main camera, meaning Neither of the other two sensors can record video at this frame rate per second.A slight disappointment in limiting the options.

We continue with 2024 and USB 2.0

While it’s not something many people will use, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus’ USB-C connector still has USB 2.0 speeds. This means data transfer speeds are limited to 480Mbps, while the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max have USB 3 transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps.

It may not seem important but When transferring content to an external device such as photos or videos, this process may take a very long time Compared to the Pro models.

And the disappointments so far, iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro come with many interesting new featuresEspecially for those who have models before the iPhone 15. But they aren’t perfect either.
