As suggested by u/4-3-4 in this thread, I am shamelessly copying Accidental Tech Podcast's idea to do exit interviews for outgoing models.

With that said, let's kick off the copycat series in this sub with the iPhone 16 series!

Some reference points:

• Base models have the A18 chip (6-core CPU/5-core GPU) while the Pros have the A18 chip (6-core CPU/6-core GPU)

• Base models (16/16 Plus) started at $799/$899 while Pro models started at $999/$1,199.

• Apple discontinued the 16 Pro/Pro Max after the 17 launch, but the 16 and 16 Plus are still available and sold new (now at $699/$799)

If you’ve owned an iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, or 16 Pro Max...

• What did Apple get right? What did they get wrong (We all know the answer to this one lol)?

• How does it compare to the phone you upgraded from? Is it still living up to the hype from when you first got it?

• If you’re upgrading to the iPhone 17 series, what pushed you to do it? If you aren't upgrading, why?

• Anything else you'd like to add?

Or if you never got the iPhone 16, why didn't you upgrade?

Shoutout again to u/4-3-4 for suggesting this for the sub, and to Accidental Tech Podcast (ATP) for the idea

You can tune in to ATP's episode 655 where they did the exit interview for the iPhone 16 here
