99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My iPhone 16 Plus has arrived.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is a bigger version
of the iPhone 16.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I have here
is the white variant.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We've bought this
from Beyond the Box.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And at the end of this video,
you'll find out

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if this iPhone 16 Plus
is worth it to buy

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or you should go
for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So let's start.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(introduction music)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This iPhone 16 Plus
that has 128GB of storage

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
would come at a price point
of Php62,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its 256GB variant
would come at a price point

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of Php69,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And its 512GB would come
at a price of Php81,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I've bought this
from Beyond the Box.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'll post the link
on the description box below.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
First things first,
what I like about it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is that its back
is matte finish.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I love the feel here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Probably one 
of the good things here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is that it's smudge-free.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You won't find
any fingerprints here,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
except if your fingers
are dirty,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you'll see it here
especially since we have

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the color white.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This iPhone 16 Plus
comes in five colors:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
black, white, ultramarine,
pink, and teal.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What's your favorite color?
Let me know in the comments.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One thing I noticed on the sides
is that it feels great

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to hold it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I feel really good
when I'm holding this phone,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it has kind of a grip
on the side

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so it gives me a good feel
on this phone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What I like here
is that its bezels

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are symmetrical
all throughout the phone

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the notch is here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you're coming
from the iPhone 15 series,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you'll see that the orientation
of the camera module

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
has changed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's not slanted anymore.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's straight this time around.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's like changed back
to the old one.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And you'll also notice
there's an additional button here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is the camera control button
which we'll discuss

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a little bit further later.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This iPhone 16 Plus comes
with an Apple A18 chip

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is a 3nm chip.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When I tried testing it
on AnTuTu Benchmark,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it got 1.56 million points
which is quite not bad.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is the result that we got
on the 3DMark Steel Nomad Lite.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And it has a 4,000 loop score
on Wild Life Extreme

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with a 71% stability
on Wild Life Extreme.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is the score that we got
on Geekbench

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
CPU benchmarking.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And this is the one
on the GPU benchmarking.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The scores that we got here
are quite impressive.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This phone comes running
on IOS 18

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you can upgrade it
to IOS 18.1

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is the current version.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What's the difference?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I noticed on its photos,
the menu on the bottom

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
becomes many.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's kind of confusing in a way
if you're not used to it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because if you're upgrading
from the IOS 17 to 18,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you'll really be confused.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Can you see this button
on the bottom,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
customize and restore?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can customize 
and remove things

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you don't want here
to make it more simpler,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
much like IOS 17.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You just really need
to change it up a bit

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so you can organize it properly.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One improvement here
is definitely its battery.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It now has a 4,674mAh
of battery

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is sometimes puzzling.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
iPhone doesn't want
to fully make it 5,000mAh

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so it'll be an industry standard.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And this one supports PD 2.0
which is roughly 25W charging,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
25W wireless charging,
15W Qi2 wireless charging,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and 4.5W reverse wireless charging.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like always, you won't get
a charging brick

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so one of my recommended
is definitely the Anker.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is a 25W charging brick
from Anker

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which they call it
the Anker 312 charger.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is very fast for iPhones.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Anker brand 
is very reliable

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so I trust nothing
but the best.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Link on the description.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now guys, if you'll ask me
if the iPhone 16 Plus

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
can last on a day-to-day basis,
honestly, it can last

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
one whole day as long
as no heavy usage.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I used it normally
for one whole day.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It can last it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Maybe at the end of the day,
there's still 20% left.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's kind of battery hungry
but it's manageable

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as long as you don't do
heavy gaming

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or video taking all day long,
for sure it'll be drained.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One of the things 
that I really like on Apple devices

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is their display.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This one has a 6.7-inch
Super Retina XDR OLED display,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
supporting HDR 10,
Dolby Vision,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it has a maximum brightness
of 2,000 nits.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's being protected
by Ceramic Shield Glass 2024

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is definitely scratch resistant
up to a certain level.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One of my favorite things
to do here is browsing

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
through social media,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like Facebook, TikTok,
Twitter, Instagram,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it can handle those.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's very smooth 
on every single swipe.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And probably one
of the best experience

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
while browsing
through social media

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is definitely on the iPhone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Why? Because it always
loads HD content for you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Unlike on Android
where most of the time

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's compressed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you watch 
your favorite shows

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on Netflix, YouTube,
expect a really good experience

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because its display is very good,
the black is rich,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and of course,
the details are very sharp

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when you're watching
your favorite shows here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now we know this phone
has stereo speakers.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I just want to test,
let's listen to how good

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its sound is.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(APT by ROSÉ & Bruno Mars)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I would say that it's great
to sound trip here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you're putting the loudspeaker
to the maximum,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this is a winner.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Listening to Spotify,
playing your favorite game,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and watching your favorite movie,
it's good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was able to play
three games here,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Farlight 84, Genshin Impact,
and Call of Duty Mobile.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On Farlight 84, 
expect a really good

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
gaming experience here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was able to set 
to all high settings

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the gameplay
was quite good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And honestly,
probably one of the best phones

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to play the Farlight 84
is definitely on the iPhone

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because its graphics are good,
the gameplay is good,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its controls are great,
its sounds are great,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you won't have
any problem.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Except one thing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
After 30 minutes of gameplay,
it's hot at 50°C.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Moving on to Genshin Impact,
probably another phone

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that greatly handles
Genshin Impact is an iPhone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was able to set 
to 120 FPS on this phone

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it gave me a really good
satisfying experience.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Playing for 30 minutes
on this game,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when were fighting bosses,
on some other phones

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
even on flagship level,
there are some skips or lags

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you'll feel, but here,
there's almost zero lags.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I didn't feel any lags here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Except another thing,
it's also hot at around 51°C.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I would recommend you
to buy a cooler.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On Call of Duty Mobile,
you can also set it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to all high settings,
both max.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the gameplay
is definitely smooth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You won't feel any lags,
its gameplay is so great.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's so snappy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The sounds are also great
coming from the left

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and right speaker.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Expect to give you
a good gaming experience.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And after 30 minutes,
its maximum heat is 45°C.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's talk about the camera
on the back.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
48MP main camera sensor
with sensor-shift OIS.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
12MP ultra wide lens
with 120° FoV.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Can let you shoot 
up to 4K and 60 FPS.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The front-facing camera
is a 12MP with PDAF.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It also acts as a depth
and biometric sensor.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It can also shoot 
up to 4K and 60 FPS.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now guys, I'll show you quickly
how to use

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its camera control button.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One of the things
that I don't like about it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is that when we're holding it
like this,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the button is kind of far 
from my finger.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you want to use this button,
you normally need

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to hold it like this
just to take a photo

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is very unusual.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I like to hold it like 
this better.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The button should
have been here,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like the shoulder triggers
of REDMAGIC

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so that you can easily snap
very easily.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Unlike here, it's kind of far,
my finger can't reach it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Except if your finger is longer,
maybe you'll reach it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But the shutter button
is kind of far for me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's a lot of things
that you can do here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Basically if you want
to call you camera,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which I set to double press
so I won't accidentally press

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and open my camera.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So double press to activate
my camera.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you activate it,
this would be the last menu.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What I set here is
its zooming capability.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can use it like this
or what others do

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is light press, two press,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you'll see all 
of the different functions.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like you can adjust the depth,
the exposure,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or you can use the zoom,
then cameras,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its different lenses
like ultra wide and zoom lens,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
styles, and you can 
also use tone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On cameras, 
I don't think it's very useful

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but I feel that 
it's better on zoom,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
zooming like this,
rather than pinching.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Probably that's 
the most useful for me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What about you guys?
Let me know what you think.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now guys, let's talk 
about some of the shots

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that we got 
on my iPhone 16 Plus.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One of the things 
that's great here is that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it snaps fast, 
it focuses fast.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was able to capture
some really nice

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
stunning photos outdoors.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As long as your lighting
on outdoors is good,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you won't have 
any problems here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on the iPhone 16 Plus.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Taking some photos
of the flowers

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and taking some photos
of the greens,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
expect some really good shots.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On indoor condition,
I was able to gather

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
some of this really nice snaps
that we got.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And really I would say 
that the quality is really different

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when it comes to iPhone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was able to give me
some really nice snaps.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You'll see that the photos
are really sharp,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
rich in details.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's something
that you'll love in iPhones.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was able to capture
some of these Korean snacks.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think this is fish cake.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the food shots
that I got here are great.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And capturing 
some stuffed dolls

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like Labubu, expect it 
to be also really good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Even signages, it's also good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As well as some of these shots,
very simple

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but you'll really notice
that it's beautiful.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you focus 
on lighted signage,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you'll see that it's okay,
the shot is great,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the colors aren't overexposed
which is good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And we've captured
some Christmas tree shots,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
expect that the shots
that we got would be great.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When I played
with its ultra wide lens,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this is how it looks like.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is a normal shot
and this is a 2x zoom shot.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When you zoom it in,
you'll know that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they're selling jewelries.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
At dawn, I was able 
to take some of these snaps

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on outdoors on lowlight
and it was good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is an ultra wide shot,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this is a normal,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and this is a 2x zoom shot.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This cell site is very clear
after 2x zooming.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On night shot,
you expect to get

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
some really good snaps
on iPhone 16 Plus.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And when I was strolling around
taking some quick snaps here,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
expect that the photos
are bright and good,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
iPhone really enhances
your shots during nighttime.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm really happy
with my snaps here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Using the front-facing camera,
it was able to get me

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
some really nice,
good shots here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Expect that when it comes
to iPhone,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it'll give you a natural tone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And it's a little bit more
of a warmer tone

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as compared 
to Android smartphones

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that have a brighter approach.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But overall, the snaps
are quite good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Taking this video 
on outdoors while walking,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's almost nighttime,
I would say

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that its video is very stable
and the quality is great.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Equally said on rear camera
while nearing nighttime.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's very stable while walking.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And taking a 4K video,
I would say that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's very smooth
even if you don't have

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a gimbal on the iPhone 16 Plus.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now guys, what can I say
about the new iPhone 16 Plus.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Honestly, its performance
is great.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Probably even if you don't buy
the Pro and Pro Max level,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its performance
is already great.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is probably 
a little bit more of a nerf

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or carried over 
from the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And some of the features 
that the 15 Pro Max are put here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like this action button
on the side

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is customizable.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can use it 
as a silent button

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or other functions
that you can set

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on its settings.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's useful for some people
and it's useless

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for some people.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There are mixed reviews
on its camera control button.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
For me, I find it
a little bit useless

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because how I hold it
is like this when I shoot

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it's kind of far
from my index finger

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if I'm going to use it
as a shutter button.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I'll really reach out
for it which is kind

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of inconvenient.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'd prefer it to be 
somewhere here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like shoulder triggers
like REDMAGIC gaming phones.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But having it here,
it's a little bit far.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The only thing I find useful
is its zooming

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is definitely useful
because it's more sensitive

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
rather than pinching it
on the screen.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Overall, the form factor
is good,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have no problem with it.
