The performance gap is the least it has ever been in years with both the A18 and A18 Pro using similar CPU layouts. Nevertheless, the A18 Pro chip embedded in the 16 Pro comes with an extra GPU core which makes it nearly 20% quicker which is good for gamers.

idk why you considering a phone being lighter is a con....A phone is a mobile device and portability is an important factor. Being lighter is 100% a pro for me

I ditched the PRO models this year because regular 16 is lighter! Yes, lighter weight is more premium than a telephoto lens that i seldom use, and the 120hz display while nice is not exactly noticeable for day to day tasks.

I have the 16 and 16pro. I must say the regular 16 is lighter and nicer to use if you want a mobile that is light and easy to use.

I switched from 15 pro to 16 plus and honestly don’t notice the difference. I’m loving the larger screen and don’t feel I’ve sacrificed anything for my use case.

I had an earlier Pro. The extra weight was annoying. I've got the standard iPhone 16 and I really can't tell the difference from the 120 Hz promotion display but maybe that's because I don't play any games. I also found app using Lidar to be not very useful in practice - they were messy to use and not very accurate. The standard iPhone 16 has a really good camera for me, the battery life is excellent and everything is slick and buttery smooth.

IMO - If you are not a serious photographer or a heavy game player the standard iPhone 16 is the better choice - it'll give you the same experience as the Pro but cheaper and lighter.

The difference between the 16 & Plus vs the Pros is literally one camera lens, 120hz, and an extra core. The bezels being thinner are actually a no if you don’t have a case on it. The 16 is a solid iphone.

16 pro does seems better choice than regular 16, but my opinion is that 16 pro is overpriced and the battery on regular 16 holds longer etc … regular 16 is “go for it”… still using iPhone 12 mini ❤
