Video Description

Is a three-year-old Pro model a smarter buy than a one-year-old base model? In late 2025, with the new iPhone 17 now available, the answer might surprise you. In this video, I give you my honest, long-term review of the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 16, both running the brand new iOS 26. We'll take a close look at the features that matter most in your daily life to help you decide whether to buy, upgrade, or wait. I'll break down why I believe the iPhone 14 Pro is the better choice for most people right now and why you should consider skipping the base iPhone 16 and jumping straight to the iPhone 17 or a 16 Pro model instead. We're Covering: Design & Display: The biggest difference—120Hz ProMotion vs 60Hz, and how it feels on iOS 26. iPhone 14 Pro vs iPhone 16 Performance: Real-world speed test with the A16 vs A18 chip and 6GB vs 8GB of RAM. iPhone 14 Pro vs iPhone 16 Battery Life: A look at battery health degradation on the 14 Pro vs the newer 16. iPhone 14 Pro vs iPhone 16 Cameras: Is the 14 Pro's telephoto lens more valuable than the 16's newer system? Apple Intelligence: Does the iPhone 14 Pro's lack of AI matter in late 2025? Final Verdict: My personal recommendation on which phone to get and why. Whether you're currently using a 14 Pro and thinking of upgrading, considering a new iPhone 16, or just looking for the best value, this video is for you. What are your thoughts?
