The comments show predominantly negative sentiment, particularly regarding the Panels app pricing and iPhone 16's value proposition. There's significant criticism of launching without promised AI features and charging premium prices for incremental upgrades. The new camera button feature received mixed reactions, while technical improvements were generally viewed as minimal.

7 months agoI bought the 15 pro max after years of buying old models. My newest prior was a iPhone 11 ( many years old when I bought it) I honestly don’t see the big deal. Yeah the camera is a little better, but other than that, I don’t see much value.
