At the time of purchase, the price was a whopping 1.7 million KRW, which felt very expensive. It was my first iPhone, and my expectations were as high as the price.</p> <img src="https://semonan.com/images/book/product-reviews/electronics/iphone16pro/iphone16pro_2.webp" alt="iPhone 16 Pro" width="500"> <p>Coming from Galaxy, I had no real trouble adapting to the iPhone, but I ended up selling it for one single reason. That reason is Samsung Pay. The iPhone doesn&rsquo;t support Samsung Pay, so I had to carry physical payment cards separately. I use a local currency card, a debit card, a credit card, and a fuel card. With Galaxy, thanks to Samsung Pay, I didn&rsquo;t need to carry physical cards. But with the iPhone, I always had to carry a card wallet. There were several awkward situations where I forgot the wallet and couldn&rsquo;t pay. For public transit too, Galaxy lets you pay with the phone, but the iPhone doesn&rsquo;t.</p>
