Comparison between the New couple of iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
Deciding between the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max might sound puzzling after noticing that the models are becoming more and more similar. While the iPhone 16 Pro retained the 5x tetraprism zoom lens from the Max model, it still has many differences. We will present the distinguishing features that would allow you to make a proper choice.
Price and storage
For the iPhone 16 Pro, the price is set at $999 / £999 / AU$1,799 for 128GB of storage, and for the iPhone 16 Pro Max, there’s 256GB of storage as a base, and the price starts at $1,199 / £1,199 / AU $1,249. “A $200 difference is quite significant between the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max,” it points out. Therefore, those willing to spend their money wisely to have enough storage, iPhone 16 Pro which is a relatively cheaper model is the best option for them to go for.
Size and weight
Another consideration is that: the size and weight of the phone. The forthcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max features a diagonal size of 6.3 inches, compared to the iPhone 15 Pro. On the other hand, iPhone 16 Pro Max has a gigantic 6.9″ screen, which is the biggest screen in a non-folding phone that we’ve reviewed. The size of screen or the weight of the phone may thus affect the usage experience everyday for those who like a small and lighter device.
Battery life
In terms of battery life, it may be said that the Max variant has the advantage. iPhone 16 Pro Max: 18 hours and 6 mins in our battery test which is about almost 4 hours longer than iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, the iPhone 16 Pro offers a respectable 14:07 battery life, but it must provide coverage for the greater part of the day having been under mixed usage.
