At the SeptemberApple eventwe saw the reveal of theiPhone 16,iPhone 16 Plus,iPhone 16 Pro, andiPhone 16 Pro Max. As you’ll seen in ouriPhone 16 Pro reviewandiPhone 16 Pro Max review, the latter two phones offer some of the most compelling specs and upgrades.

Both these phones have the power to have a chance at the top spot of ourbest phoneslist and come with the power to runApple Intelligence.

So without further ado, lets dig into the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max specs.

iPhone 16 Pro specs

As you’ll see in the table above the core specs upgrades come in the form of theA18 Pro chip, which builds upon the already powerfulA17 Pro.

The new slice of silicon promises plenty of power for runningAppleIntelligence AI-centric features when they rollout to the Pro iPhones. Plus, a boost in gaming power, with improved hardware-accelerated ray-tracing performance was touted by Apple, which should make the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max more capable of running console-quality games likeDeath Stranding.

In day-to-day use, I doubt you’ll see a huge boost in speed over theiPhone 15 Pro. But there seems to be plenty of headroom built into the chipset, meaning it should proved to be capable for several years to come at the very least.

The other notable upgrade is the addition of a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera, which offers crisper wide shots and has better low-light capabilities.

The display has also had a minor jump from 6.1 inches to a 6.3-inch panel, thanks to the trimming down of bezels.

iPhone 16 Pro Max specs

The iPhone 16 Pro Max’s specs are basically identical to that of the iPhone 16 Pro, only offering a larger display and what’s sure to be a larger battery; Apple doesn’t officially list battery capacities but does quote a longer battery life than the 16 Pro and theiPhone 15 Pro Max.
