Just wanted to thank everyone for the input. I went to the Apple Store today and got the 16 Plus, in pink. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I know that this thread is about 5 months old but I just wanted to add that I got a new iPhone16 this morning.  I went from an iPhone 11 to the regular 16 and got the blue color.....it's like a deep periwinkle and very pretty.

 

Now I'm just waiting for my new case which should arrive from Amazon this afternoon.

 

So far it seems to be very similar to the 11 as far as using it and the features.  There are a few minor differences in use.

 

I kept getting messages from Verizon that I was eligible for a new free iPhone 16 and my only cost was going into Verizon in person and having my information switched to the new iPhone.  I also gave DH my old one and had his information moved from his old one (an iPhone7) to my 11 which is now his. He just really doesn't use it very much.

 

Even though the people who work there are tech geeks it still took about an hour for them to set everything up!

I just got the same thing, I followed instructions sitting the phones next to each other and everyting  was transferred automatically.  I love the button on the right to go straight to taking a picture.  I like the face recognition also.

@spumoni99 I had the face recognition on my iPhone 11 and I love the new easy to use photo button.  One less step for taking pictures.

@haddon9 I upgraded from an iphone 12 so I'm sure I had it before but never used it.   I am really bad about using all the features the phone has, I need to watch a youtube video.

@spumoni99 I use just the basic features.  A friend of mine kept telling me to get the iPhone 16 pro because it has a better camera, etc. but this new regular 16 is a lot better than the 11 that I had plus I'm never going to utilize all of the fancy features.

 

I got my son to set up face recognition for me with the older phone otherwise I know that I would not have had it.

@haddon9 I have to get my daughters help a lot! In fact she called and talked to verizon for me to get the new phone supposedly for free, lets hope they were not fibbing. We are still all on a family plan so her and I got new phones.

My I phone 13 is fine for the time being until they stop making updates for it 

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.
