Review: Apple iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
Apple Intelligence might be overhyped, but it brings some helpful capabilities to the iPhone.

Excellent performance. Good battery life. Fun and useful camera features. Apple Intelligence adds lots of nifty little features, like audio transcriptions in Notes and Voice Memos. Faster wireless charging.

Apple Intelligence is in beta and many other features are coming later on. The Max might be too big. Maybe you don't need a Pro?
The iPhone 16 has been one of the weirder smartphone launches I've seen from Apple in the nine years I've been covering tech. Much of the product's new capabilities are wrapped around Apple Intelligence—a suite of smart features powered by artificial intelligence—which isn't available at launch. Apple will roll out a software update in October to deliver these promised perks.
But my entire testing period with the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max has been on a developer beta of iOS 18.1, which has many (not all) of these Apple Intelligence features already running. I feel like I have a good handle on what the experience will be like for iPhone owners in October, though this early version of the software also had a few bugs. While doing some performance testing, for example, Resident Evil Village crashed a few times no matter whether I had maxed out the graphics settings or not. Apple couldn't replicate the issue but suggested I roll back to the stable version of iOS 18 to fix the problem.
Broadly, there are some nice improvements with the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. They deliver some of the best performance on a phone, have solid battery life, and have excellent camera systems. When you throw in Apple Intelligence, there are moments when the new capabilities are helpful day to day, but there is no must-have software perk (yet) that makes Apple's AI features leaps ahead of the smartphone pack, nor worthy of an upgrade alone.
On Apple Intelligence
In some ways, Apple Intelligence makes it feel like the company is playing catch-up. Take smart replies as an example. This is one of the new “AI” features in Apple's Mail client and the Messages app. If someone messages you, you'll get a prompt above the keyboard to send a reply generated based on the context of the conversation.
It might not be a surprise for my recipients, but I have been liberally using smart replies in Gmail and Google Messages on Android for years. I am very thankful for the seconds I've saved not having to type out, “Thank you!” or “Sounds good.” Now, iPhone owners can take advantage. However, I have only seen these smart replies in the Messages app (likely another beta bug).
Siri is a big part of the Apple Intelligence package. Now, when you activate the voice assistant, there's a lovely glow around the entire screen. You can even keep using your phone after triggering Siri so asking a question doesn't have to interrupt what you're doing. If you make a mistake in your question or change your mind mid-sentence, Siri can still decipher what you're asking and answer.
