What Reviewers Agree On

The 6.3-inch size is, for many reviewers, the best iPhone size for most people — pocketable yet roomy.
The A18 Pro delivers some of the best performance on a phone, with class-leading sustained gaming.
The new 5x 120mm periscope telephoto (replacing the 15 Pro's 3x) is the standout Pro hardware upgrade.
Cameras and pro video are excellent — 48MP main, 48MP ultrawide, 4K/120fps, studio mics and Audio Mix.
Long-term durability and battery health are strong — most owners report 94–100% battery health after a year.

Detailed Comparison

Battery & Charging

iPhone 16 Pro

A 3,582mAh battery (~10% bigger than the 15 Pro) with solid all-day life for most — but ~2 hours less than the Pro Max, slow charging, and a vocal minority reporting poor longevity.

A 3,582mAh battery — an almost 10% increase over the 15 Pro's capacity.
It lasts a solid day but the smaller battery lasts ~2 hours less than the 16 Pro Max in a head-to-head.
Charging hits 50% in 30 min, ~85% in an hour, and a full charge in ~1h38m — slow, with the last 15% taking ~40 min.
Real-world use is roughly 5–6 hours of screen-on-time on a 95% charge limit.

OnePlus 11

What Reviewers Agree On

80W SuperVOOC wired charging — full in ~25 minutes, dramatically faster than S23+/Ultra's 45W or iPhone 15 Pro Max's 20W
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 + 8/16GB RAM + UFS 4.0 — flagship performance matching the S23 family
6.7" LTPO 120Hz QHD+ AMOLED, 1300-nit peak — class-leading display at this price
5,000mAh battery delivers all-day endurance with the new 8 Gen 2 efficiency
Alert Slider returns after being dropped on the OnePlus 10T — Apple-style mute toggle beloved by enthusiasts
$699 starting (8/128GB) — $200-500 less than S23 Ultra/iPhone 15 Pro Max for genuinely flagship hardware

Deal Breakers

NO wireless charging — regression from OnePlus 10 Pro that had 50W wireless; major spec sheet gap vs all $999+ rivals
IP64 rating only (no dust immersion, splash-only) — much weaker than S23/iPhone 15's IP68
Only 4 OS upgrades + 5 years of security — short vs Pixel 8's 7 years
Hasselblad camera processing trails Samsung/Apple/Google on absolute quality — colors can be inconsistent
OxygenOS 13 has become more 'ColorOS-like' since the Oppo merger — divisive among long-time OnePlus fans
32MP 2x telephoto reaches only 2x optical (vs S23 Ultra's 10x periscope) — limited zoom range

OnePlus 11

5,000mAh battery + class-leading 80W SuperVOOC charging — full in ~25 minutes, dramatically faster than any 2023 rival. The trade-off: NO wireless charging, a regression from the OnePlus 10 Pro's 50W wireless.

5,000mAh battery + 8 Gen 2 efficiency delivers reliable all-day endurance — ~6-7 hours of SOT typical.
80W SuperVOOC wired charging — full in ~25 minutes (0-50% in ~10 min), dramatically faster than the S23+/Ultra's 45W (~1h) or iPhone 15 Pro Max's 20W (~1h45m).
NO wireless charging — major regression from the OnePlus 10 Pro that had 50W wireless. Biggest deal-breaker for many reviewers.
Multi-phone drain test: OnePlus 11 placed 4th of 7 at 9h46m total runtime — beaten by iPhone 15 Pro Max, Vivo X100 Pro and just edged by S24 Ultra.

Value & Verdict

iPhone 16 Pro

At $999 (128GB) it's a great Pro that ages superbly, but the incremental nature and excellent base iPhone 16 complicate the value case.

'I love it, but I wouldn't buy it' — the regular iPhone 16 is so good it makes justifying the 16 Pro complicated.
It's harder this year to justify the higher price of the Pro over the far-improved standard iPhone 16.
It's a great flagship with excellent, fast cameras and editing tools.
It's hard to find fault even as an Android enthusiast — value retention and ecosystem make it a compelling 2–3 year investment.
It's the most incremental of incremental upgrades over the iPhone 15 Pro.
If the iPhone 17 isn't a huge upgrade, picking up a cheaper iPhone 16 Pro one year later is a smart money-saving move.

OnePlus 11

$699 starting (8/128GB) was a $100 reduction vs OnePlus 10 Pro's launch — aggressive flagship pricing that undercut Samsung/Apple by $200-500. Now $400-550 used in 2026 — outstanding value if you can live without wireless charging.

Launched at $699 (8/128GB) / $799 (16/256GB) — aggressive flagship pricing that undercut S23 ($799) and S23+ ($999) on value.
At $400-550 used in 2026 with 1+ year of OS updates left — exceptional value for an SD 8 Gen 2 phone with 80W charging.
vs S23 Ultra ($1,199): OnePlus wins on charging speed + price; Samsung wins on cameras + S Pen + periscope + IP68 + longer updates.
vs Pixel 8 ($699): OnePlus wins on charging + display brightness + raw performance; Pixel wins on camera AI + 7-year updates + IP68.
Engadget verdict: 'best-value flagship of 2023' — biggest 80W charging differentiator at the lowest price among true flagships.
