GSMArena: Apple iPhone 16 Pro review – battery and display testsAccording to Apple’s iOS 18.0.1 notes, the touch screen on iPhone 16 and 16 Pro models could be temporarily unresponsive in certain circumstances, and on the 16 Pro the camera could freeze when recording 4K macro video with the Ultra Wide camera and HDR off. Both were fixed in iOS 18.0.1 on 3 October 2024; these old bugs do not apply to newer versions.
MacRumors: Apple Releases iOS 18.0.1 With Touch Screen Bug Fix and MoreOn Best Buy’s 128 GB iPhone 16 Pro page, 18 of the 20 visible reviews give 5 stars and one gives 4. Owners, including people upgrading from iPhone 8, 12, 13, 14 and 14 Pro, praise the speed, camera, display and longer battery life than their old phones; one is still happy after 1.5 years, another after 6 months. The 4-star owner says the size stays close to an iPhone 13 despite the larger screen, but finds the phone heavy and the camera bump large. One activation problem was carrier-related, not a product fault.
