This year’s upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to get an increase in overall size from 6.7-inches to 6.9-inches, and a new image gives us a good idea of how the current iPhone 15 Pro Max compares to what could be be the largest ever on an Apple iPhone.
The image above, posted on X by ZONEofTECH, shows a dummy model representing the iPhone 16 Pro Max alongside an actual iPhone 15 Pro Max. Dummy modules are designed to take the place of real devices for display or testing purposes, and therefore aim to match the dimensions and design changes of iPhones that have yet to be released.
With the increase in size over Apple’s larger premium model, which is rumored to be in the region of 0.2 inches, the difference is visually noticeable, but whether it will be as significant for real-world users is another matter.
The smaller iPhone 16 Pro is expected to increase from 6.1- to 6.3-inches, and since both iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to be larger, they are also expected to be taller and wider than the iPhone 15 Pro models. Although the thickness will remain the same, the weight will probably increase slightly due to the larger size.
Note that Apple is also rumored to be using Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology for the iPhone 16 Pro models, which is expected to result in slimmer bezel sizes, which will subsequently allow for more display space within those dimensions .
In addition, the iPhone 16 Pro display can be up to 20% brighter for typical SDR content, featuring up to 1,200 nits of typical SDR brightness. Taken together, these changes can result in a vastly improved viewing experience on the screen.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are expected to stay at 6.1- and 6.7-inches like their predecessors. If Apple sticks to its usual annual iPhone release schedule, the iPhone 16 lineup will be released sometime around mid-September.
