As I shared with you earlier, moderator, I recently changed my phone to an iPhone 16 Pro. The last one was the iPhone 15 Plus Why did I choose to buy the Plus then? The main reason was because the battery life was so strong that I didn’t need to carry a urine bag when I went out, and it would be useless if I did. Coming to the iPhone 16 series, what are the updates on the iPhone 16 Plus compared to the iPhone 15 Plus? This article is about unboxing and discussing the differences between the two devices. Read below!
Screen + body design
Let’s talk about the screen first a generation ago, with azure blue, lake green, pink and black, and what I put out this time is the pink iPhone 16 Plus.
Of course, the iPhone 15 Plus I bought myself is also pink, so I have to compare it. Compared to my other iPhone 13 mini, the iPhone 15 Plus is the same color in my hand, both are light pink, except that the iPhone 15 Plus is a little more pink, but the iPhone 16 Plus almost completely purple level.
In addition, the rear lens of the iPhone 15 Plus is tilted, while the iPhone 16 Plus has a straight design, but personally I do not feel much about the change in camera position.

Add action buttons and camera control keys
Different from the previous generation iPhone 15 Plus, the current generation iPhone 16 Plus has replaced the original ringtone / silent switch with an action button You can set the purpose of the “action button” in the settings, such as silent mode, flashlight , Control projects, translations and more. At the same time, the iconic camera control keys of the current generation iPhone 16 series are also added, which can be used to control various parameters of the camera, such as exposure, zoom, style adjustment, etc., by pushing with different strengths, pushing once/twice, sliding, etc.

Performance + battery life
In terms of processor, the iPhone 15 Plus is equipped with an A16 Bionic chip, which is at the same level as the iPhone 14 Pro Max two generations ago, while the iPhone 16 Plus is equipped with an A18 Bionic chip, which should be much better. than the iPhone 15 Plus in terms of performance. However, for iPhone users who don’t often use it for gaming, I think if you have to choose between the regular iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, I think it really depends on whether you like a big phone or a small phone, and then whether the battery life can meet your daily needs, I think the iPhone 16 Plus is one of the most worthwhile to buy
camera
The camera is the most important part of a mobile phone Whether you are a photography enthusiast or an ordinary nurse, it is inevitable that you will pick up your phone to take pictures, such as taking pictures of scenes, photographing children, etc., and iPhone 16 Plus They also use a 48-megapixel Fusion camera and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, providing 0.5x, 1x, and 2x optical zoom options, and supports functions such as macro photography and space photography. I took my iPhone 16 Plus to Hong Kong International Airport to arrange a film screening of the Kowloon Walled City I took pictures of some of the screenings at the unique sight. The following is for everyone, even if you don’t have time to go there for a pilgrimage, you can see the environment live through the moderator’s iPhone 16 Plus.
summary
I was originally an iPhone 15 Plus user, and now I’m using the iPhone 16 Plus I don’t feel that I’m not used to it at all the iPhone 15 Plus is not bad, so the iPhone 16 Plus It is good news to maintain the standard and not to return. And if you don’t usually play video games, or if you don’t use too long shooting speed, iPhone 16 / iPhone 16 Plus is enough, and 2x optical zoom is enough. What do netizens think?
