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.

My iPhone 15 Pro Max hasn't been my go-to camera despite it taking some fantastic photos. I've got an idea why the iPhone 16 Pro Max may be different.

There's a cost-effective iPhone Pro if you want to prepare for Apple Intelligence, but Apple will not sell it to you.

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.

Apple just retired two iPhones capable of Apple Intelligence. Even so, the range of iPhones is wider than it was a month ago.

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.

When Apple launched the iPhone 16 models on September 9, it discontinued the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max units. However, Flipkart has both models available for those looking to buy and at a major discount.

Apple may introduce a new phone to the lineup next year called the iPhone 17 "Slim." Here's what we know based on rumors, leaks and reports.

These are the differences between the iPhone 16 Pro Max's specs and those of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, for users curious about upgrading or wondering if it's worth saving money by buying an older model.
