This iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. iPhone 15 Pro Max face-off will help you get a better understanding of how Apple's newest release compares to its predecessor. The iPhone 16 Pro Max sports a swanky new ultrawide camera,

The release of a new iPhone is always highly anticipated. This year’s models bring Apple Intelligence, better cameras, a new Camera Control and, most importantly, longer battery life. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max have larger displays, thinner bezels, an advanced A18 Pro chip and improved thermal management.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max is a minor upgrade over its predecessor with a new color, a new Camera control button, and a slightly bigger display.

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.

As for colors, the iPhone 16 Pro Max carries forward the Black Titanium, White Titanium, and Natural Titanium options from the iPhone 15 Pro Max, but swaps last year’s Blue Titanium colorway for the new bronze-like Desert Titanium option.

It's still possible to get a new iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max from retailers if you hurry, but Apple has officially discontinued both 2023 models, as well as the iPhone 13 and other products as part of its annual streamlining.
