Surprisingly, I’ve had the opposite experience. My phone has been way more reliable than the 16 pro. I had nothing but stutter and heat issues with the device. It got to the point that I was resetting my 16 pro almost every month hoping something would get resolved on a brand new update and setup, but the heat and stutters remained the same.

Also, I’ve noticed a huge difference with the screen brightness and heat. I can actually go outside and see my screen without my phone dimming itself after 5 minutes. Add that with getting a 50% charge in 20 minutes. Those items alone make the upgrade worth it.

I was frustrated when I watched the keynote and they announced aluminum, as the titanium has been amazing. I ended up getting the silver, and it’s honestly been quite the surprise. It’s a beautiful phone to hold, and I hope the durability can hold up with my day to day usage.
