A user wrote on the X platform; “ has really dropped in quality significantly. This #iphone16 is the first new iPhone I’ve had that performed worse than my previous model, an iPhone 14 that is 2 years older. Its response time is slower and battery life is as bad, which was the primary reason I upgraded.”
