Our take on the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max 256 GB 5G

The iPhone 16 Pro Max is Apple's largest flagship phone, with a 6.9-inch OLED display, the A18 Pro chip and a titanium frame. Its standout feature is the camera system: a 48MP main sensor, a 48MP ultra-wide and a 5x telephoto, plus a new Camera Control button for quick shooting. It suits people who want the biggest screen, the longest battery life in the lineup and top-tier video, and it holds up well against the Galaxy S24 Ultra and Pixel 9 Pro XL on performance and video, though those rivals offer more zoom range and, on Android, more software flexibility.
