It's been two years since the iPhone 14 Pro Max was launched, but is now the time to upgrade? Is the iPhone 16 Pro Max worth upgrading to? Let's find out!

In my 200 photo face-off between the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Pixel 9 Pro XL, it was a one-sided affair win for Apple. Meanwhile, my 200 photo shootout with the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Galaxy S24 Ultra turned out to be a much closer race. Samsung’s flagship came the closest to matching Apple’s, but it still wasn’t enough.

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.
