Hi Apple seniors, im coming over from andriod . im keen in the 16 series but im not a pro user. i DONT game, DONT tiktok, DONT edit videos. just simple whatsapp, sms , call, youtube ,facebook and surf web.

is 16 PLUS more worth the money to get or should i invest in the 16 Pro (not pro max)?

please advice

I'm not apple senior. Just another guy that loves hand phones. I'm also not a pro guy. But I like getting the latest flagship tech device. More for the feel good factor while having tech processing power in excess ready to tap should you ever need it one day.

It's just like having more money than you need. In case, just one day, you need it, it's there, it's available for you to use it.

Plus should be more than enough since you won't need the better photo/video recording capabilities of the pro... but note that you'll also not have pro-motion (i.e. 120hz refresh rate) on the Plus (which comes with 60hz). Actually on many mid-range Android phones, there's already 120hz (some low range even have 90hz) - so you'll probably have a lesser screen experience when going over to Plus.

The price difference is just $350 which you'll recover quite a bit of it later on when you change phones, cos Pro Max tend to hold their resale value well... e.g. even 3 year old 13 Pro Max can sell for $800 (vs equivalent year S21 Ultra which sells for $400+)

go to the  store and play with the demo units to make your decision. but if you ask me yes plus model is more than enough for you

Then just get the non-pros. When u're more comfortable next time then consider the pros.

U can just get the 16 plus. Sufficient for your usage and battery life is good. Unless u required photography then u should go for pro max.
