Every single phone has RAM
I meant to say 8gb ram
The utmost important thing that Apple Intelligence brought us is 8G RAM in basic iPhone and 16G RAM in basic Mac. I thank AI for nothing but this.
@DevilsInDetails: Its actually saving the processing on your data on thier end. You now upload a small processed package about yourself.
LOL
If battery life is important to you , go buy the plus or max , if you can afford!
I agree. I have the 16 PM and the battery life is outstanding. I can go 24 hours with significant usage through the day even on 5G all day. But the 16 Pro has actually good battery compared to predecessors.
I have the 12 pro max and it's still solid. max or plus is the way to go
Can you stop this nonsense? Why are you promoting a mid range phone like the A55 in a thread about a iPhone Pro. Very different phones for different target audience. The person you replied to was recommending iPhone 16 Pro Max to the people considering the iPhone 16 Pro if they wanted better battery. If you prefer Samsung over Apple, you can get the iPhone 16 Pro Max equivalent which is the Galaxy S25 Ultra. And if you prefer Google then the Pixel 9 Pro XL. The A55 may be perfect for you but it's nowhere near these phones for people with more needs out of a phone than you.
I bought a A54 Samsung once. What a piece of crap.
Or 16e has bigger battery than 16 pro, without going big
That's because the iPhone 16e has only one camera, allowing for a larger battery without increasing the chassis size.
how rediculous the mobile phone price is now !!!
No way I will pay that price for a phone
Wait until you find out how much a new car or a hoom costs
Wait until you find out What a “hoom” is
Cheaper with first hoomooner grant
Is that a house for hoon? /s
Isn't that for honeymoons?
Homo is the new Hobo
- homeless bro
Until you find out this iPhone can buy an EV car in China or can feed a kid in the 3rd world for 5 years at least.
People don't compare a phone to a laptop but a car and a house lol
Wait till you see how much an apple foldable iPhone will cost in the next few years
Apple EVs never happened after 10yrs proof that they are incapable of competing with Chinese, in this case with great value Xiaomi (same for their great phones ;)
the Pro is a premium phone, of course its going to be expensive
If it's expensive it must be good? NO! 1/2 price phones are 2x capable from Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, OnePlus…
I would buy Nokia phone, and Lenovo tablet, and ThinkPad laptop, and Lenovo desktop for that amount of money!
I would buy 589kgs of navel oranges from coles for that amount of money!
You are right. I bought Galaxy A55 for $6.5x24m ~ $135 with better battery (5 days as 2nd phone), 1TB micro SD, AI features, etc. as backup 2nd phone,
$210 Lenovo 5 Chromebook with oled 34cm screen, Acer Nitro5 40cm screen laptop for $720 (added cheap extra 8GB RAM, 1GB M.2 + 2GB SSD)
~ $1065l ~ with >$600 spare (so my main S23 Ultra 512GB $1620 with 12GB RAM, S-pen, DEX windows experience,& superior AI is laughing with 99.4% battery health after >25 months extensive use with over 377 installed apps ;)
Yep, I would even buy a heavily modified holden commodore for the remaining 600 buck to show off, but I did not say it not to offend navel orange apple folks! ;)
25 months extensive use with over 377 installed apps ;)
Weird flex but ok.
Might as well buy an iphone 15 or wait for 17 at a minimum, since the 16 has a worse design and its only selling point is some dubious AI features that won't be delivered for another year, if ever. Apple has recently been pulling all the ads they had been running for months about AI, as it turned out to be vaporware.
This is true. 16pm user here seeing no use in the AI features.
i guess i should see videos but whats the advantage of the AI - what has been useful from it?
Does anyone know if apple AI would help an older person use their phone? Such as asking AI how to perform simple tasks i.e messaging, adjust some setting etc.
Eventually, yes.
But not right now.
It’s not there yet but Apple will get there before 2027; same year their Vision headset and smart glasses start to take off.
Apple Un-intelligence is still vaporware. Samsung A55 (was $135 over 24m on existing Voda plan, now sold) has AI that is >1y ahead of iPhones. Bixby is specialising on controlling the hardware. Samsung AI works on >2y old phones that are bargain now & have more RAM for AI
ai is in beta. vapourware is announced but never ships
A55 was uninspiring to me , I can't say I'd buy another A series phone again , and this comment has nothing to do with android vrs iOS
Siri still dumb as usual, the AI is the only good selling point for recent phones and apple js falling behind big time
The only advantage is the 8GB RAM as mentioned below

went into JB hifi today to try out the new phones. The iphone 16 felt sluggish compared to the android counterparts. It felt like that simpsons episode where malibu stacey was being sold over and over again with minimal improvements, but this time THERE IS A NEW HAT.
This is a 16 Pro, not a 16. Of course the base model will feel sluggish against Android Pros/Ultras.
Yeah I don't know how they have flogged the horse for so long. I think the iPhone users dismiss all competition so when they get a new feature they don't realise it's a standard in Chinese or android phones.
Iphone customers are most loyal I guess.

You literally just described every smartphone released since 2020.
Just bought this for the wife (who loves Apple) - my JB hifi guy pricematched to Costco without hesitation. Paid with TCN gift cards bought at 10% off earlier in the day at Coles, and will be claiming TRS on it soon as well
How did you manage to get the price match with JB hifi? Wanted to try this gift card thing as well but the jb hifi guy said they cant price match with costco as they're members only
TBH i think I just got lucky, as I read previous comments on ozb and reddit saying they don't match Costco. He just asked if I have a membership and I said yes (lied with confidence and he didn't question me).
If it helps, it was at JB Macquarie Centre (NSW).
The gift card thing is easy, just make sure you have all the pins scratched off in advance to save time at the checkout.
Nice! I guess I'll go in and try my luck then. Thanks!
Yeah, JB said no when I tried here in VIC.
I got 2 before posting this deal, TRS will make it even cheaper.
You need to get lucky with JB price matches, I have never had success. Officeworks does 5% guaranteed price beat which they have big posters of around their shop. Did this yesterday and purchased and used 10% off gift cards to purchase it too.
@gumgum: When there was the 10% off ultimate gift cards and there was recently the TCM ones too that had 10% off. Check the link below and work out where and how to get some small discount with what's available.
So iphone 16 pro max and 16e has ram.
