They say that bigger is always better — and that certainly rings true for the brand-new iPhone 16 Pro Max. With the largest display in iPhone history at 6.9 inches and an insanely long-lasting battery life, it is in fact one of the best phones that money can buy.

While there’s no doubt that the pricier Pro models of the iPhone 16 series are better, with improved and larger displays, a third camera, that gorgeous titanium build and more, this year’s iPhone has a lot in common with the Pro. To the extent that for many people, the Pro adds bells and whistles they can manage without.
