I’ve been using the iPhone 16 Pro max for some time now, and honestly it feels like the smartest phone I’ve owned. The battery comfortably lasts a day, the 5× telephoto camera is amazing for portraits and zoom shots, and the new Camera Control button makes photography quicker once you get used to it.
The screen is brilliant—bright outdoors, soothingly dim at night—and the phone stays cool even with gaming or heavy use. The only downsides are its slightly bigger size and the fact that it doesn’t feel like a massive jump if you already own the 15 Pro max.
Overall, for anyone upgrading from an older iPhone, this is a refined and powerful device that won’t disappoint.
