I purchased the phone for next day delivery. The carrier Best Buy is using, On Trac, is terrible and it is 4 days delayed right now, no updates, no customer service, no way to change for a pick up at a local store.
On Trac is terrible and there are tons of bad reviews online.
Terrible experience!

Solid S year upgrade.
I generally prefer upgrading during an S year where there is a consolidation of features rather than having new untested features. And this is the year I upgrade from my 13.
Apple intelligence is not a factor in my purchasing decision, it's not available on release, might add half a star due to it and unless it makes Siri worse than it currently is I can't imagine subtracting a star for it.
Pros
Thin bezel is visually striking
Performance and battery both seems good, similar to the upgrade from 12 to 13
Camera is solid, new photographic style actually let me customize a default style where there are shadows and contrast
Usb C, bye Lightning
Camera button is nice to launch the camera app reliably so I can map the Action Button for something else.
Cons
The bezel being so thin causes issues with using this phone without a case which was the original intent
A case is also needed due to how large the camera bump is this year. It does not feel comfortable sitting on a table without a case
Zoom camera really underwhelming compared to Android counter parts
Camera button not particular useful IMO for adjustments, quicker with touchscreen
Camera button not good for taking pictures, requires probably 3-4 times as much force as my mirrorless to press. Results in change of framing.
iOS 18 has been fairly buggy early on, no deal breakers but some annoyances
8GB RAM instead of say 12, feel like the Pro should get more.
I feel like this is a good year to upgrade if you are starting to have performance/battery issue with your old phone. But if you like to jump in for new features this seems like a year to pass. I'm firmly in the former camp and would much prefer year 2-3 of a package after refinement and consolidation which this seems like.

Staff was super helpful. Hoewever, a couple weeks afterwards I had two fraudulent charges at Best Buy and had to replace my credit card. Best Buy had access to my iPhone and credit card and it appears to not be a random coincidence that the fraud was at Best Buy

The first phone purchased had a number of quality issues - text messages not coming thru, phone was hot, battery would not fully charge, volume would change on its own. The replacement would not start after a night of charging. If you search online you will find that this is a common problem with the iPhone 16.

Listen, people who are saying don't upgrade if you have the most recent phone are correct. If you don't have the most recent phone maybe a few years or more older than yes it is worth the upgrade. I don't put 5 stars just cuz the prices are always ridiculous.
