iPhone 16 Review: One Year Later Review

It's been a full year with the iPhone 16! But with the iPhone 17 just around the corner, is the 16 still a good phone to own or buy in late 2025?

In this honest, long-term review, I'm sharing my real-world experience after using the iPhone 16 as my daily phone for 365 days. We'll talk about what was new at launch, like the Action Button and vertical cameras, and see how they've held up. We'll cover the good stuff, like the surprisingly powerful A18 chip for AAA gaming and the camera system (including that Camera Control button I thought was a gimmick).

We'll also get into the not-so-good stuff, like the 60Hz display and how warm it can get. Plus, I'll share my honest thoughts on Apple Intelligence and whether it's a reason to own this phone.

Finally, I'll give you my verdict on whether you should buy an iPhone 16 now, keep the one you have, or just wait for the iPhone 17. Hope this helps!
