Clicks: https://clicks.tech/MrMobile-Clicks Best Buy: https://clicks.tech/MrMobile-BestBuy [APPLE IPHONE 16 REVIEW] Seventeen years after its 2G debut, the iPhone has become “the default phone” for the anecdotal average American – and this year, Apple has brought enough Pro features to the base model that the cheaper iPhone is an even better buy for most folks. But this is the first time I've ever needed to run a Beta to fully experience what most people will encounter when they buy an iPhone – and it's also the first time my mentions have been crowded with commenters asking what it's like to switch to Android. Join me for the MrMobile iPhone 16 Review! [ABOUT MRMOBILE'S iPHONE 16 REVIEW] MrMobile's iPhone 16 Review was produced following three weeks with an iPhone 16 review sample provided by Apple, which also furnished MrMobile with Plus, Pro and Pro Max samples, alongside a customized AirPods 4 set. Pre-production hardware running Beta software (iOS 18 Beta 3, 4 and 5). MrMobile does not offer manufacturers the opportunity to preview, edit or approve content before publication. Neither Apple nor any other manufacturer provided compensation in exchange for this coverage. Michael Fisher is co-founder of Clicks Technology, the sponsor of this video, which paid a fee to Future PLC (the publisher of MrMobile) for its promotion. Hobolite sent Michael Fisher free samples of its Creator Kit products, which are briefly featured in this video. Review-device connectivity provided by Verizon.

I’ve used Federico’s Apple Frames shortcut to add device frames to screenshots for years.
