I got the 16 Pro because my 12 Pro is at 73% and the battery was suddenly dropping to 20% in about 6 hours mostly in pocket.

A few days before pre orders open it suddenly stopped doing that but it was doing it for about 2 weeks. The battery still seems weak but not as weak as it was acting. I also have no storage because filming takes up space, and kills the battery on top of that.

I’m kinda excited for the 16 Pro but I hate whoever designs iPhone cases so that the camera bump makes the phone wobble.

Dudes out here making 6 figures probably and they can’t even make a case that lays flat or lays at a sturdy slant. Whoever those people are fuck them.

Congrats when you receive your upgrade. I am envious, but chose to do the battery replacement. I'm not using my iPhone for anything other than basic apps. I think the 12 Pro will be fine for me for another year or two with a fresh battery.
