The verdict, & two little voices
Should you actually get the 256 GB Apple iPhone 16 Plus on Boost Mobile?
The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
“Outstanding battery and a huge screen at a price that makes the 16 Pro Max hard to justify.”
“Paying this much for 60 Hz in 2026 feels like Apple charging extra to not fix the display.”
