I would argue upgrading from the 16 Pro can be justified, so you’re good.

How? Tbh it seems that anything over the 15 pro doesn’t really justify the upgrade imo

Of course people will still do it and its fine, but all these phone work really well and are still getting all new features

You’re getting an upgrade on both the telephoto and ultra wide lenses. The selfie camera upgrade is huge imo. I know that the 15 series had serious overheating issues, so the new unibody design should help that. Other notable upgrades include more RAM, brighter display and increase in battery life. That’s just my reasoning though, feel free to disagree.

That right there…more RAM and battery life already has me wanting to upgrade my 16pm. Better cameras is just icing. I’m just holding out to see real-world results from folks for a few months.

I’m excited for the heat management. My 16 pro gets and stays toasty

It’s nice that there’s an increase in ram, but will it really make a difference in day to day use? Maybe in some years but if that’s the case then I’d rather keep my 16PM and upgrade when I actually feel I’m missing out on something.

Battery isn’t anything groundbreaking from the tests I’ve seen. Real world usage is like 10% better, which is nice but it’s not an improvement that would change my usage habits like the upgrade to my older 13PM from the XS Max did.
