iPhone 16 Pro Max Unveiled: Bigger screen and game-changing features

Even though the launch of the iPhone 16 is in the future, details about the device have begun to surface on the internet. Distinguishing between the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 16 will be straightforward.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max is set to boast a larger display, with the screen's diagonal increasing from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches, a modest increase of about 0.2 inches. But what will this mean in practice?

Photos shared by Majin Bu compare the current iPhone 15 Pro Max model with the new iPhone 16 Pro Max (still in its dummy version). The upcoming model will feature a larger screen, enhancing user experience. However, the dummy does not accurately represent the final proportions of the screen and its bezels. According to previous reports, the new models will incorporate a button below the power button dedicated to taking photos and videos.

These images also corroborate prior information regarding the camera setup. The flagship model is anticipated to maintain its distinctive three-lens island configuration, including an ultra-wide-angle lens boasting a 48 MP resolution.

Unofficial sources indicate several additional changes, primarily affecting the device's internals. The forthcoming model will feature an upgraded 5G modem and support for Wi-Fi 7. Additionally, it is likely to come with the new iOS 18 operating system, enhanced with AI-supported functionalities. Plans to augment battery capacity have been mentioned, though the impact of the larger screen on battery life remains to be seen.

Performance-wise, rumors suggest the iPhone 16 Pro Max will be powered by a new A18 Pro chip, utilizing 3nm technology. This advancement is anticipated to significantly improve graphic performance, a boon for gaming and sophisticated applications.

Whether these upgrades will sway customers toward the new model is a question for September, when the iPhone 16 is slated to enter the market.
