My iPhone 16 Plus has arrived.
This is a bigger version of the iPhone 16.
And I have here is the white variant.
We've bought this from Beyond the Box.
And at the end of this video, you'll find out
if this iPhone 16 Plus is worth it to buy
or you should go for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max.
So let's start.
(introduction music)
This iPhone 16 Plus that has 128GB of storage
would come at a price point of Php62,000.
Its 256GB variant would come at a price point
of Php69,000.
And its 512GB would come at a price of Php81,000.
I've bought this from Beyond the Box.
I'll post the link on the description box below.
First things first, what I like about it
is that its back is matte finish.
And I love the feel here.
Probably one of the good things here
is that it's smudge-free.
You won't find any fingerprints here,
except if your fingers are dirty,
you'll see it here especially since we have
the color white.
This iPhone 16 Plus comes in five colors:
black, white, ultramarine, pink, and teal.
What's your favorite color? Let me know in the comments.
One thing I noticed on the sides is that it feels great
to hold it.
And I feel really good when I'm holding this phone,
it has kind of a grip on the side
so it gives me a good feel on this phone.
What I like here is that its bezels
are symmetrical all throughout the phone
and the notch is here.
If you're coming from the iPhone 15 series,
you'll see that the orientation of the camera module
has changed.
It's not slanted anymore.
It's straight this time around.
It's like changed back to the old one.
And you'll also notice there's an additional button here
which is the camera control button which we'll discuss
a little bit further later.
This iPhone 16 Plus comes with an Apple A18 chip
which is a 3nm chip.
When I tried testing it on AnTuTu Benchmark,
it got 1.56 million points which is quite not bad.
This is the result that we got on the 3DMark Steel Nomad Lite.
And it has a 4,000 loop score on Wild Life Extreme
with a 71% stability on Wild Life Extreme.
This is the score that we got on Geekbench
CPU benchmarking.
And this is the one on the GPU benchmarking.
The scores that we got here are quite impressive.
This phone comes running on IOS 18
and you can upgrade it to IOS 18.1
which is the current version.
What's the difference?
I noticed on its photos, the menu on the bottom
becomes many.
It's kind of confusing in a way if you're not used to it
because if you're upgrading from the IOS 17 to 18,
you'll really be confused.
Can you see this button on the bottom,
customize and restore?
You can customize and remove things
that you don't want here to make it more simpler,
much like IOS 17.
You just really need to change it up a bit
so you can organize it properly.
One improvement here is definitely its battery.
It now has a 4,674mAh of battery
which is sometimes puzzling.
iPhone doesn't want to fully make it 5,000mAh
so it'll be an industry standard.
And this one supports PD 2.0 which is roughly 25W charging,
25W wireless charging, 15W Qi2 wireless charging,
and 4.5W reverse wireless charging.
Like always, you won't get a charging brick
so one of my recommended is definitely the Anker.
This is a 25W charging brick from Anker
which they call it the Anker 312 charger.
It is very fast for iPhones.
The Anker brand is very reliable
so I trust nothing but the best.

Now guys, if you'll ask me if the iPhone 16 Plus
can last on a day-to-day basis, honestly, it can last
one whole day as long as no heavy usage.
I used it normally for one whole day.
It can last it.
Maybe at the end of the day, there's still 20% left.
It's kind of battery hungry but it's manageable
as long as you don't do heavy gaming
or video taking all day long, for sure it'll be drained.
One of the things that I really like on Apple devices
is their display.
This one has a 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display,
supporting HDR 10, Dolby Vision,
and it has a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits.
It's being protected by Ceramic Shield Glass 2024
which is definitely scratch resistant up to a certain level.
One of my favorite things to do here is browsing
through social media,
like Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram,
it can handle those.
It's very smooth on every single swipe.
And probably one of the best experience
while browsing through social media
is definitely on the iPhone.
Why? Because it always loads HD content for you.
Unlike on Android where most of the time
it's compressed.
If you watch your favorite shows
on Netflix, YouTube, expect a really good experience
because its display is very good, the black is rich,
and of course, the details are very sharp
when you're watching your favorite shows here.
