I'm a long-time iPhone user and I bought the 16 Pro right when it was released, I had it pre-ordered, so I'm writing this review after about 8 months of use. I was switching from an iPhone 12 (basic) and I remember being slightly disappointed at first, as I didn't see a significant difference at first glance apart from the smoother screen and I even felt sorry for the money. It's amazing how Apple products can still work perfectly after several years, and I actually thought the upgrade wasn't necessary, even though I've been running 12 for several years. But after a few days of use I got used to it very quickly and e.g. I wouldn't trade 120hz today. But what I didn't like to get used to, and I curse it to this day, are the cameras, or rather the macro. If you're used to shooting something close up (maybe 15-20cm) and getting a nice, sharp photo from older non-stick iPhones, prepare yourself for the fact that this is definitely not the case here, as the phone automatically switches to the macro (wide-angle) camera to be able to focus. The main (higher quality) camera is not able to focus at such a short distance and if you manually turn off the macro, you simply can't focus. This is something that absolutely drank my blood for the first few months (and still does) and I mourned my 12 since I sold it. It took anything, even close-ups, beautifully, cleanly and sharply without switching to macro. This model takes pictures with noise, with bad light (resp. a lot worse than the main camera) and then relies on automatic editing after the photo is taken. So if you take a close-up of something and open the photo in the gallery right away, you may still notice how the photo is changed and enhanced to make it look good. True, the phone edits the photo and the result is usable, but it's just not the same. If you take photos in third-party apps (ig, Snapchat, etc. ), you are trapped, there is no such background editing, i.e. you're out of luck and your photo will be noisy, blurry and look like an old Nokia. I also don't like the fact that if I'm shooting video and I bring the phone close to an object, you can see the jump from main camera to macro in the video and there is a noticeable degradation in quality. However, if you are shooting something really close up, e.g. details of an object from 3-5cm, the phone excels there with proper shooting. Anyway if you want to shoot e.g. the text on the paper from 15cm, the composition on the cover, etc., the above mentioned problem appears again. Not least if you're shooting in lower light conditions. This annoys the hell out of me (I would use another word, but I can't in the interest of decency) and there is no way to turn it off. Interestingly, 12 had no problem at all with this, she didn't switch to macro and took close-ups of everything in complete ease. Too bad I sold it, I'd be awfully interested in a comparison. Otherwise, the phone is great, fast, snappy, the cameras are a total bomb (except for the macro). What else I have to praise is the new photo styles and auto photo editing, it's a blast, I use it actively and if you have the iPhone 16 series, definitely play around with it. After 8 months, the battery condition is 98% and it is clear that the phone no longer lasts what it did at the beginning, but that is understandable. In the beginning I was working with it from morning all day and in the evening around 21h I had 40-50%. I'm still functioning in the same mode after 8 months and now I get 20-30% around 7pm, but still better stamina than my old 12. Dynamic island has me under its spell, it's a cool thing. I used the photo button actively for about the first two weeks, but it didn't convince me enough to continue using it, at most if you're pulling your phone out of your pocket, you can already press the button and turn the camera on straight away, it's a slightly quicker way to get to the camera. Otherwise, the phone looks beautiful, luxurious and premium (you put it in a cover anyway: D). As far as AI is concerned, don't get drunk on a roll. You have to have your phone in English and even then you don't have all the features. I switched my phone to English for a while to try it out, but switched back after a few days - didn't use it. Deleting objects from photos is also available in Czech, that's fine, but even though I'm an Apple sheep, I have to admit that it works better with Samsung (compared to 25 ultra from a friend). But then again, Apple works on-device and doesn't send data to the cloud, so it's a quid pro quo. As a result, it is "just" another iPhone, where, however, in the final analysis, I do not regret the purchase. iOS is simply a classic that I would never trade in my life, at least certainly not for Android: D
