As an iPhone 15 Pro Max user, I was pretty happy. We had USB-C, a nice new titanium finish (which contributed to the phone being a lot lighter), the action button, and great battery life. We also got the 5x telephoto camera, which I found a lot more useful than the previous 3x telephoto.

With the new iPhone 16 Pro dropping, you may be wondering if it’s time for an upgrade. Here are the key differences between the two.

The more underrated iPhone 16 Pro Max screen upgrade is the new 1 nit minimum brightness. This decreases eye strain when using the phone in a pitch-black room during late-night hours. Gone are the days of needing to toggle Reduce White Point in the Accessibility settings to reduce eye fatigue before bed.
