While this isn't wrong, the regular iPhone has secretly been the better buy for years, starting as far back as the iPhone 14. For years, both devices have offered near feature parity, with the additional zoom lens and 120Hz ProMotion being the two key standouts. Now that the iPhone 16 features both the Camera Control Button and the Action Button, that gap has shrunk even more. The one thing I'd miss with the base iPhone 16 is the lack of a faster display refresh rate. If you don't know what you're missing, it's easy to swallow a 60Hz screen, but once you've experienced the smoothness of 120Hz, it's difficult to go back. It's clear Apple kept ProMotion exclusive to iPhone 16 Pro because it helps differentiate the features both phones offer, but even Google offers a 120Hz refresh rate with its Pixel 9.

At most, the only reason you had to pop open the settings menu was to tweak your controls and maybe adjust the volume, but that was about the extent of it. It was part of the appeal of consoles -- as opposed to PCs where you had a greater ability to fine-tune your experience -- but also used to troubleshoot and solve your own issues. Console games all worked and played exactly the same on every machine without any fuss.
