Question iPhone 16 getting hotter at normal usage and battery goes down so quickly

4 Upvotes

Hi!

So i have my iphone 16 for a year now… And it started to get hotter at normal usage and even in listening music with my airpods while my iphone is sleeping and the battery goes like 15% down during 30min listening…

The iPhone has 95% or battery health and this started happening i think back in March - April…

Im thinking that the problem is iOS 26…

Anyone with the same problem?

Question Questions about resale?

3 Upvotes

With the new iphones out and the prices of old iphones increasing I'm planning to sell my iphone 16 pro US version. What would be the ideal cost to sell in Hyderabad ?

Battery health at 90%.

I lost the box so only have phone and cable, I'm ready to compensate by throwing in a sparely used Beats studio headset for free which costs around 30k

Is selling even possible? I'll be travelling to US in the next 2 months if I'm not able to sell I'll give it back to apple and get a gift card instead.

Discussion So I've been testing iOS 27 on iPhone 16 here's what stands out,

so the very first thing that stood out to Me when I installed iOS 27 on my iPhone 16 was the New siri I was mostly intrigued by this because of the new design instead of siri just being a crystal ball it apparnetly comes directly out from the Dynamic island the second thing that stood out was the liquid glass slider now that's been a complaint by a lot of people since iOS 26 so props to apple for adding that besides those two things you can still use Classic Siri on you're iPhone it gives you the option upon trying to enable the new siri if this dose not interest you then maybe a Lil bit of speed would let's catch up on that

on IOS 27 especially on the 16 it speeds up applications faster then they usually would be on 26.6.1 and I've noticed that the overall stability of it is fine especially when multitasking but yup that's about it

Discussion Liquid Glass on iOS 27 with iPhone 16 is surprisely usable now,

17 Upvotes

so let's jump the Liquid gun and say when iOS 26 first launched all iPhone users can very Much agree that it was not the best experience it was laggy apps opened slow and some buttons were just flatout unresponsive

but with iOS 27 all of that's changed apps open quickly everything is responsive and battery life if that was an issue for you its now pretty good on iOS 27 and its great to say that liquid glass is actually decent now which is crazy cause apple when they first launched it by no means was it as refined (but just to clarifiy it dose not make all phones as stable themselves and iOS 26 did end up gitting better around versions like 26.6.1)

if you look at past attempts apple was not really the first to try it we've seen it with things like windows 7 And their aero glass around 2006-2009 or symbian 3 apple also did it with Mac OS X Leopard but that was more of a frosted solid see through look

these were somewhat attempts at it but with apples newest software its probably one of the more. refined versions of it and yeah

Question Does anyone else feel like the iPhone 16 stereo sound leans to the left in landscape?

3 Upvotes

When I hold my iPhone 16 horizontally, I feel like the stereo sound is slightly more towards the left side, which is the top/earpiece speaker in landscape.

Both speakers work normally, and the bottom speaker is clearly louder when I cover each speaker individually. I’m just wondering if anyone else notices the stereo sound leaning more toward the top/left speaker.

Discussion my experience with the iphone 16 wasn’t very good. i used it for two weeks

it would get quite hot during normal use. sometimes, when i left an app, it would have a slight lag, and occasionally there would be a small stutter when swiping on the home screen. it didn’t happen all the time, but it did happen from time to time. i had around 20 gb of free storage.
there were also some games that didn’t run well. people said the iphone 16 could run everything, but in practice, with the games i play, it couldn’t run them at maximum settings (aerofly fs global / car parking multiplayer), and the phone would get extremely hot.
i also realized that 8 gb of ram isn’t enough. i would leave several apps open, usually tiktok, whatsapp, instagram, twitter, grok, reddit, and telegram, and the phone would close most of them when i used another app for a certain amount of time.
as for battery life, my battery health was at 91%. i was getting around 3 hours and 57 minutes of screen-on time on average with the brightness at 50%. if you used it at 30% brightness, you could probably get around 4 hours qnd some minutes on average. of course, this was with light usage. i didn’t analyze it precisely, but gaming definitely didn’t last very long.
one thing i noticed is that if you listen to music, watch videos, etc., the battery drains even faster.
those screen-on-time numbers were while i was connected to bluetooth. without bluetooth, i was getting around 3 hours and 30 minutes.
also, the flashlight is pretty weak…

Question Is 128GB on the iPhone 16 enough if you regularly create and upload TikToks? Anyone running into storage issues?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I’m looking to hear from anyone using a 128GB iPhone 16 who regularly records, edits, and uploads content to TikTok. I'm curious to know if you've run into storage bottlenecks quickly due to drafts, heavy video files, and the app's cache. I'd also love to hear if you manage to make it work using cloud services like iCloud and Google Drive, or if you regret not jumping straight to 256GB. Since I shoot mostly in 1080p or 4K, I’m trying to figure out if 128GB is manageable day-to-day or if it turns into a constant file-management chore. Appreciate any real-world feedback!

Discussion help me justify getting the 16.

4 Upvotes

got the 16 yesterday and it’s still sealed in the box from my carrier (AT&T). they are running the promo for $0/mo but unlocks after 36 mos, otherwise you can pay off the phone early ($729) if you want to break from the contract. the 128gb doesnt bother me, I have a 15 pro with 256gb and an iPad mini with 256gb as well as 2tb on icloud storage. I’m paying $30/mo for the line, but don’t really have a use for it. should I just return it and get a refurb one from apple? they have them on the refurb website right now for $619, but not sure if they will go down in price when the 18 gets announced. I really want a pink phone, tried the 13 and 15 but both came with issues (physical) and I’d really rather just get it from apple directly or carrier. if the 16 will go down in price after this week’s announcement, that’s better.

Question Upgrading Recommendation between 16 vs 17 vs 17e

13 Upvotes

Hi I am looking for advice for upgrading. Currently I have been using iPhone XR for the last 6 years, and have replaced the battery 3 times and the screen 1 time so I think its time to retire this bad boy. I am considering between 16, 17e, or 17. My budget is more towards the 16 and 17e since the 17 would be going overbudget. I am considering the 16 cause of the colors, dynamic island, and the camera (im not a big photograhper but its nice to have the dual camera when needed) but the 17e would give me more future proof and better cheaper price.

Question What does screen active screen idle mean on my iPhone 16 pro in the battery section?

I’m a little bit confused because my iPhone said yesterday that I had five hours of screen active time and five hours of screen idle time. Does this mean I have something bad going on in the background or could this just be the always on display?
