Full Written Review
The iPhone 16 Pro Max is Apple’s most ambitious smartphone yet, boasting the largest display ever at 6.9 inches and a battery life that outlasts any previous iPhone, clocking in at up to 33 hours of video playback. Powered by the A18 Pro chip, it delivers unmatched performance for gaming, multitasking, and AI-driven features like Apple Intelligence. The triple-camera system, with a 48 MP Fusion main sensor, 48 MP Ultra Wide, and 5x Telephoto, offers incredible versatility, enhanced by the new Camera Control button for intuitive adjustments. The titanium design is both durable and premium, though its 227g weight might feel hefty. Running iOS 18, it’s a seamless experience, but the lack of a charger and its $1199 starting price may give some pause. For those seeking the pinnacle of smartphone technology, it’s a near-perfect choice.
