The top iPhone is back this year with an even larger screen, more powerful hardware, larger battery and faster charging. Meet the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max – the best iPhone Apple has produced yet and the iPhone to get if you are after a maxed-out feature set.
The year, the iPhone 16 Pros are enjoying their first screen enlargement since the iPhone 12 series and it has worked out really well for them. The small Pro now makes even more sense, while the large Pro Max with its 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen is a multimedia consumption monster. And the best part is that the screen increase came mainly from trimming the bezels – the 16 Pro Max is a mere 1mm wider than the 15 Pro Max.
