The 13 Pro Max still feels fast, takes excellent photos, and easily lasts all day on a full charge even at 88% battery health. The usual improvements you expect from a new iPhone—faster processor, better cameras, longer battery life—would be lost on me in day-to-day use.

As for dimensions, compared to the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is slightly taller (163mm vs. 160.8 mm) and thicker (8.3mm vs 7.7mm), but Apple's shaved down the weight significantly (to 227g from 240g).

The Mizivn Wallet is a remarkable product that brings together style and function into one compact unit. Crafted with high-quality PU leather material, this case provides robust protection to your iPhone 14 Pro Max ensuring it remains safe from scratches and bumps during everyday use.

It's not surprising that the largest smartphones by the likes of Apple and Samsung have the longest battery lives, because they have the biggest batteries — but new testing shows that the iPhone 16 Pro Max beats them all.

The two Android sets that beat out the iPhone 16 Pro Max did so with batteries that are over 800 mAh greater in capacity. Both pack in 5,500 mAh cells compared to Apple’s 4,676ish mAh cell ( Tom’s Guide lists the iPhone as 4,685 mAh versus iFixit’s 4,676). However, they also only got 36–42 minutes more runtime under the same conditions.

As for Apple’s main high-end phone competition, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra fell well short of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, clocking 16 hours and 45 minutes of battery life, despite having a larger 5,000mAh cell (compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s 4,685mAh).

It’s time to compare two of the most powerful, large-format Apple flagships, the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max vs Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max. The latter is the company’s new flagship which launched earlier this month.
