5 reasons to pick the iPhone 16 Pro over the iPhone 16

This might surprise some people, even close friends and family, but I’ve never been the sort to snap up a smartphone on day one, much less a top-of-the-line model like the iPhone 16 Pro. I buy phones on my own dime, and typically don’t need that many features. I also loathe to deal with the early wake-up call for online pre-orders or getting in line at an Apple Store. For sanity’s sake, it’s often easier to wait a few weeks for stores to restock.
