The most premium-feeling iPhone I've ever held

I’ve been using the iPhone 16 for about a week now, and the "Ultranium" finish (that sleek, ultra-tough titanium feel) is definitely the standout feature. It feels incredibly light in the hand but feels like it could survive a tank. The new Camera Control button on the side makes snapping photos way more intuitive than just tapping a screen.
Why I love it:
• Screen Quality: The OLED display is super bright, even when I'm outside in direct sunlight.
• Speed: The A18 chip handles everything I throw at it. I haven't noticed a single lag while gaming or using the new Apple Intelligence features.
• Battery: I’m getting a solid day and a half of use before needing to plug in.
One minor thing:
It's so thin and smooth that it can be a bit slippery! I’d definitely recommend picking up a clear case from Best Buy so you can still show off that unique finish without worrying about drops.
If you’re looking for the perfect mix of luxury and performance, this is it. Best Buy made the upgrade process super easy with their trade-in program, too!

The color is beautiful. It’s only true teal by the camera lens and the rest is mintier but it’s a very fast, very capable phone.

Huge upgrade over the 13

I didn’t want to upgrade quite yet, but my 13 was already on its last legs when the screen cracked from a fall. So I did some research and the baseline 16 seems to be the way to go at the moment. Some immediate observations: the camera is so much nicer. The pictures are clearer, the zoom is way better, and the operations are all much snappier. Taking a portrait shot went from a missed opportunity to a terrific photo. The action button is a nice tough, I locked that as a flashlight - I lost the physical button silent mode option, but I rarely used that anyways. Face ID also seems quicker, too. Less of an upgrade, the Dynamic Island is fine, nothing too exciting there. The camera button as a “click to open camera” is definitely nice, but the placement is awkward for landscape shots, and I would never use the haptic editing options - too cumbersome. It’s hard to rate battery, as my old phone really diminished over time. This one is obviously better… for now. Overall, a very worthy upgrade, with some minor touches still needing fine-tuning.

It’s a really nice phone. The color is finally really nice. The sides are already scratched though after the first 2 weeks of using it so buy a case. Apple does have to bring at least 125hz screen to these basic phone models like androids but other than that it’s good phone

iPhone 16 is great. It has lots of features, you just have to explore and see what it offers. The camera takes good, clear pictures. The product doesn't disappoint.

iPhone 16 is everything I could want in a cell phone. I bought a case and glass protective screen that work to keep the surface clean and functioning. The basic apps were already installed, so I didn't need to install very many other apps. I've had a Apple computer for many years, but an android phone. Now that both are Apple products, I am enjoying the transparent and seamless connections. When I'm at my computer, I can receive and send texts going to my phone though I'm seeing and responding via my computer. I am also enjoying the flexibility to customize different text and ring tones for individuals. My husband, with a brand new Android phone, doesn't have the same flexibility. Battery life is excellent, I recharge every 3rd or 4th day.

Sleek and powerful cellphone that looks cool but more importantly is a great phone. Super fast at opening links and downloading/streaming movies, podcasts, music apps and games. The sound quality on calls is also outstanding.

Ok so going from an X to this is a major improvement - battery life is great; storage is great, too. The only tiny issue is I had to get all new cords and charging cables - but that’s only because I waited so long to upgrade my phone.

Easy process to purchase phone and activate (exisitng Verizon acct). Only hiccup was the trade-in. Best buy estimated a higher trade-in value that Verizon would offer. The iphone 17 is great!

I've been using the new iPhone for a week now, and I love how sleek it looks and how pretty the blue color is. The camera is amazing, especially in low light; I’ve captured some great shots, I’m really enjoying it and can’t wait to see what else it can do!

Another solid Apple product. I don't use the camera but phone functions perfectly.
