I am disappointed.

The 16 Pro is larger and heavier than the 15 pro which is already heavy.

I have small hands, I want a smaller and lighter phone.

Not going to buy the 16 because of lack of ProMotion.

I'm not in the iPhone ecosystem anyway, so it's probably moot, but one thing Google did really right this year was to issue Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL that are identical in everything but the screen size. I'm very happily upgrading from a very large 8 Pro to a nicely pocketable 9 Pro that contains all the same guts as the 9 Pro XL. Apple should have done the same.

The Pro and Pro Max are like you say with the sole exception of optical zoom level. OP is referring to the non-pro models at the end when talking about ProMotion (there are 4 main variants each release, not 2).

> optical zoom level

Optical zoom level is now the same on both the 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max

Ooh finally!

i bought my grandma an iphone 6, damn these thing were perfect size and the force haptic was awesome. Iphone are becoming more and more like android, in size, in complexity and jankyness.
