I have the 14 pro and my sister recently got the 16 base model. I don't know why, but the pictures from her newer phone looked like a major leap backwards in quality. Also, the latest OS does feel like its features were written in crayon and that its waiting to kick off its training wheels. I can't fully describe it: it's not clunky or clumsy, it just feels like something is missing from the experience. I've never really felt this way from a phone version upgrade before.

There's that, but it was really glitchy too. Siri only worked half the time. The subtitles would start and then stop after a couple sentences and need to be restarted constantly. There were a never ending stream of glitches. Text selection is still awful. It's just not a good phone compared to the competition. I will say that it looked and felt nice though. The build quality of the actual hardware seemed good.

That's so funny, I found it so light that I was somewhat scared to touch it. Then again, I've been known to yell at clouds concerning my age.
