The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max got bigger this year, but most people should pick them for camera upgrades and longer battery life.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max is pretty much a "phablet" — it's got a larger 6.9-inch screen, up from the iPhone 15 Pro Max's 6.7-inch display. So you can't tell me that the iPhone 16 Pro Max isn't some sort of phone-and-tablet hybrid.

The new iPhone 16 Pro has expanded, upgraded and powered-up elements like the cameras, display, chipset and battery compared to the older phone. But the iPhone 15 Pro still remains a powerful phone, sharing a number of elements. So the better phone and the better value phone of this duo may not be the same.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max has gained a new camera, more performance, and an even bigger screen. This is how Apple changed the latest and largest model from 2023's iPhone 15 Pro Max.

There’s some big questions that kept nagging me as I was testing the new iPhone 16 Pro Max. Does the larger screen make it compelling or too big? Is the new Camera Control a game changer or a gimmick?

The iPhone 16 Pro Max has the largest iPhone display thus far — now grown to 6.9 inches, thanks to its super-thin bezels. It has the rather awkward resolution of 1320 x 2868 pixels to achieve the sharp 460 pixels per inch. And it's still an OLED panel with a 1-120 Hz refresh rate, and 2,000 nit peak brightness.

The $999 iPhone 16 Pro and $1,199 iPhone 16 Pro Max have everything we've come to expect in a year-over-year upgrade. They lack Apple Intelligence at launch but make up for it in other ways.
