What you get with this model is same as on iPhone 16 Prowith the difference of a larger screen size and greater autonomy as its size allows a larger battery. In fact, this iPhone 16 Pro Max is the mobile with the largest screen Apple has ever produced: 6.9 inches diagonally compared to the Pro’s 6.3 inches alone. To achieve this without ending up with an extremely large mobile, the edges have been reduced to a minimum. The final measurements of the device are 16.3 cm high by 7,76 cm wide and a thickness of 0.83 cm. Available colors are natural, desert, black and white.

Finally, there’s a new video encoder and ISP, with double the data throughput, with a special emphasis on improving video capture.
The new haptic button Camera Control is present, as in the rest of the range. It is touch-sensitive, so you can be used as a new interface by swipinglike a mouse wheel, and supports different degrees of pressure.

There is a new camera 48 megapixel ultra wide angle to allow for more detail in close-ups and selfies. On the other hand, the 5x telephoto It is no longer exclusive to the Pro Max and is now also found on the Pro.
The big news about the camera is the 4K video capture at 120 frames per second and in Dolby Vision.
