Apple's newest Pro series is here, and we help you choose the better option between the Apple iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Apple officially unveiled the Apple iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max as the paladins for the utmost iPhone experience. Both pack Apple’s most powerful phone hardware yet, almost leveling up to the level of Apple’s M series Mac chips.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max is essentially a scaled-up version of the 16 Pro, though the camera is almost the same size. Both phones also identical buttons, including the new Camera Control button, but may have different placements according to the size. That means the distance your thumb needs to travel to access those buttons will vary. The ease with each of the phones will depend on your preferences and the size of your hands.

The iPhone 16 Pro now gets a 6.3-inch display, up from the 6.1-inch on the previous generation. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro Max now goes up to 6.9 inches, taller than the iPhone 15 Pro Max as well as stalwarts, such as the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Pixel 9 Pro XL, in the Android ecosystem. One minor difference between the iPhone 16 Pro and the Pro Max is the available storage options on both phones. While the iPhone 16 Pro comes with 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB options, the Pro Max lacks a 128GB variant, following the same pattern from the iPhone 15 Pro range. Storage of 128GB admittedly makes little sense for phones of this caliber, and would be filled quickly, especially if you record plenty of videos with the iPhone 16 Pro.

While we hope to learn about the actual battery capacities soon, it’s worth noting the iPhone 15 Pro had a 25% smaller battery than the iPhone 15 Pro Max. We wouldn’t be surprised if the new iPhone 16 Pro series follows suit. Both phones also get four microphones now that allow a more holistic sound capturing, especially tuning it for spatial use cases. Besides capturing sounds at different distances, the microphone array can also eliminate background noise using machine learning.
