Behold! I now crown the iPhone 16 Pro Max as our new smartphone battery life king, kicking the Google Pixel 9 out of its short-lived throne. You won't believe how long the top-tier iPhone 16 lasted on a charge.

Discover who should upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro with its powerful A18 Pro chip, advanced cameras, and ProMotion display. Is this premium device worth it for you?

In this iPhone 16 Pro Max vs Galaxy S24 Ultra comparison, find out whether Apple or Samsung deserves your 2024 flagship phone purchase.

The first iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max preorders are now live. However, there's some bad news to report. iPhone 16 Pro delays are pushing shipping times for the Pro and Pro Max models to as late as October 15. So if you want one of Apple's new premium phones, I wouldn't hesitate to make that preorder.

The $999 iPhone 16 Pro and $1,199 iPhone 16 Pro Max have everything we've come to expect in a year-over-year upgrade. They lack Apple Intelligence at launch but make up for it in other ways.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max has the largest iPhone display thus far — now grown to 6.9 inches, thanks to its super-thin bezels. It has the rather awkward resolution of 1320 x 2868 pixels to achieve the sharp 460 pixels per inch. And it's still an OLED panel with a 1-120 Hz refresh rate, and 2,000 nit peak brightness.

Even though the iPhone 16 doesn't a telephoto sensor, Apple discovered a way to somewhat compensate for this, so much so that you can reportedly get high-quality zoomed-in photos by up to 2X. Not as appealing as the 5X optical sensor on the iPhone 16 Pro models, but it'll do.

Apple's new iPhones are here and in this iPhone 16 Pro Max vs iPhone 15 Pro Max comparison, I'll explain the changes between the two devices.

To get extra protection for your new Apple iPhone 16 Plus, purchase a high-quality screen protector. Not all screen protectors are the same, however.
