The iPhone 16 Pro Max is Apple's most powerful iPhone ever. The 6.9-inch display is gorgeous, and the reduced bezels make it feel more compact than the 15 Pro Max despite the larger screen.

The A18 Pro chip handles AAA gaming with ease, and the improved neural engine makes Apple Intelligence features snappy. In battery test, it lasted an incredible 18 hours — the best we've ever recorded.

Camera upgrades include a faster 48MP main sensor with sensor-shift OIS. The 5x tetraprism zoom remains exclusive to Pro Max, and the new Photographic Styles let you customize your look. Video recording supports 4K120fps Dolby Vision — a first for any smartphone.

The Action Button is now programmable for any app, and the new Camera Control button makes mobile photography feel more professional. iOS 18 brings RCS support and a redesigned Photos app.

At $1,199, it's pricey but delivers unmatched performance and ecosystem integration.
