I started using the Pro series with the 14, then the 15, then the 16–but have now gotten rid of the Pro and moved back to base models. The 16 Plus is incredible. It’s unbelievably lightweight, insanely snappy, Teal is the best colorway I’ve ever seen in my life, the battery is a massive 4660 mah, and the camera quality is the same impressive 48MP. Even after using Pro series since ProMotion was introduced, I do not notice a difference at all in iOS operation after going back to 60hz refresh rate. I’m also a hobbyist writer and having a slim, light phone with a massive display is perfect for grinding out pages. In essence, the base model iPhones are extremely capable. Unless you really value titanium (heavier), 120hz refresh rate on a smartphone (negligible IMO), and a 5x optical zoom (probably the only thing worth it), I highly recommend the 16 or 16 Plus. My wife got the regular 16 and she also swears by it. Really well done line of devices.
