Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max review

01 October 2024


Sort by:

The so called NEW ultra-wide camera produces disastrous images. 0.7micron pixels could not help anyway. 1.0 micron pixels could be a better choice. Battery life is much better than the predecessor.

    Not the best Iphone what they made. Tested iphone 15 pro max vs iphone 16 pro max . Camera was better in 15 . Second detail that i dont like in new iphone that u need to use 2 hands for taking photo with that "new" button

      [deleted post]The way the GSMArena Team writes these reviews, they don't even check and are rushing the reviews like the Oppo Find X7 Ultra, which still is to this day hasn't fixed the Low-light samples, main camera (1x) and (2x), they're still the same.

        This is a commercial with a battery test not a review.. No specifics just praising Apple at every corner... What a disgrace.This should be rewritten and the author sent for an unpaid vacation..

          No AI should be a pro

          Other brands should follow

            "No AI Intelligence at launch, for EU may be never."

            Ok, so we Europeans out. Buy the 14 or 15 which are a much better deal and get 95% of the experience for a lower price.

              2 hours to fully charge a flagship 2000 usd phone? This is really a joke, even Samsung is doing better!

                Great option for older iphone users, not great for newer ones.

                  I'm getting tired of minimal upgrades from iPhones each year...

                    If the sustainability and temperature are good im willing to let go of the low score on the tests
                    And look at geekbench glazing apple.... Lmao....... How is that even possible

                      jiyen235, 01 Oct 2024yeah i know, people who buy iPhones usually aren't peo... moreI am in favor of only 3 iphones per year.
                      All them same size, 6.4".
                      Something like 17c, 17 and 17 Pro.
                      17c as Xr with latest internals, 17 as 16 replacement and 17 Pro replaces 16PM.

                          So spite the vanilla 16 lacking a 120hz screen and not a whole lot more... (no? Check out the verdict section) the 16 gets a 4 and the pro max gets a 4.6... ok then..

                            Bought it, sold it after a week. Because of stuttering of UI - its not as smooth as it was.

                              Anonymous, 01 Oct 2024Latest Pro max always outsell previous when both are sold s... moreyeah i know, people who buy iPhones usually aren't people to look upto about proper spending habits, but still, this year more than any other is just awful. A 15 Pro Max is such a cool device compared to this, especially if it can be had for far lower.

                                Dometalican, 01 Oct 2024With that battery, Google ought to be ashamed of themselves... morenearly everyone else loses to Apple in battery life, im not defending Google I'm just saying they didn't do a bad job in terms of battery this year. However considering the power of the Apple/other android phones, Google did a barely acceptable job and a subpar job if price is considered as well.

                                  Can't wait until 2028 when Snapdragon 8 Gen 7 finally matches the A18 Pro's performance in 1T. Instead of rebranding to """Elite""" Qualcomm should work on their uarchs because as it stands it's light years behind Apple. Even Intel made a short work of X Elite with Lunar Lake. Qualcomm is becoming the AMD of mobile devices, last year's performance for next year's price.

                                    That's sad that you don't make any more effort to describe the speakers quality since some test, just "theyre loud and sound good". For exemple on the 16 pro max the kind of "surround" sound that it provide is one of the main point that make them that good

                                      More evident if phone has mediatek.

                                      Even ultra simple tasks make bigger cores frequently stay at max frequency when there is no need.

                                      Cores A78 @ 2.2-2.4GHz while you read an article? Extreme waste of power. Should not pass 20% of base frequency.

Iphone has always been more battery hungry when under load so.. I'd take that with grain of salt.
