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.

Link on the description.

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.
