Apple’s upcoming September event is generating buzz, with leaks and speculations providing a detailed glimpse into the features of the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Here’s a comparative look at what to expect from the iPhone 16 Pro Max versus its predecessor, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, focusing on anticipated upgrades in display size, chipsets, and new hardware features.
Apple’s Largest iPhone yet
Apple’s ‘Max’ models have consistently featured 6.7-inch displays in recent years. However, this year, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is set to push the envelope with an even larger 6.9-inch screen. This increase in display size will result in a slightly larger body, though the impact on overall dimensions may be minimized by new design features.

Thinner bezels for enhanced immersion
The iPhone 16 Pro Max, along with the iPhone 16 Pro, will feature slimmer bezels compared to the iPhone 15 Pro models. These thinner bezels will help to offset the larger screen size, providing a more immersive experience and making the device ideal for viewing content.
A18 Pro chipset: Powering enhanced experiences
All iPhone 16 models are expected to be equipped with A18 chipsets, with the Pro models likely featuring the A18 Pro variant. This 3nm-based chipset is anticipated to deliver better thermals, efficiency, and performance. Following the success of powerful chipsets in enabling high-end games like Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Death Stranding on the iPhone 15 Pro, the A18 Pro is set to further enhance gaming and performance experiences.
New 48MP ultra-wide camera, capture button
The iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to introduce a new 48MP ultra-wide camera, replacing the 12MP camera found in the iPhone 15 Pro and standard models. This upgrade promises improved detail in ultra-wide shots and better low-light performance. Additionally, a new Capture Button is set to be a significant addition across the iPhone 16 series, designed to mimic the feel of a traditional SLR or mirrorless camera. This button will offer haptic feedback and may include features such as half-press to focus, enhancing the overall photo-taking experience.
