Our score out of 10
Best for Anyone who films video and keeps a phone four years
The verdict
Still the phone to beat on video and long-term software support, provided you never pay Apple's own price for it.
Pros and cons
What we liked
- Best-in-class video capture in any lighting
- Software support measured in years, not months
- Strongest resale value of any phone here
What we didn’t
- Poor value at Apple's own list price
- Base storage remains inadequate
Our review
The 16 Pro is the least exciting and most competent flagship on this list. The A18 Pro has headroom nothing on the App Store currently uses, the camera system is the most consistent point-and-shoot in the category, and Apple's support window means this phone receives updates years after Android rivals stop.
What it is not is good value at list price. Every retailer below sells the identical handset, and trade-in stacking at carrier partners routinely takes $200 or more off. Buying direct is the one mistake to avoid.
