The iPhone 16 Pro Max is a [[smartphone]] designed and marketed by [[Apple|Apple]], announced on September 9, 2024, and released on September 20, 2024 — the largest iPhone made to that point, its display grown to 6.9 inches inside bezels thin enough to keep the body within a millimeter of the [[iPhone 15 Pro Max]]'s. With camera parity restored across the Pro tier, its exclusives reverted to scale: the biggest screen and the longest battery life yet measured on an iPhone, with the A18 Pro's thermal headroom best exploited by the big chassis.

Everything else was the [[iPhone 16 Pro]]'s feature set — the all-48 MP wide/ultra-wide pair, 5× tetraprism telephoto, 4K 120 Dolby Vision, studio mics, Camera Control, Apple Intelligence readiness — at the familiar $1,199, 256 GB floor. It held the demand-center role its predecessors established, and passed the crown to the [[iPhone 17 Pro Max]] in September 2025.

= Design =

Titanium at the line's largest scale: 163 × 77.6 × 8.25 mm, 227 g, the 6.9-inch panel wrapped in the thinnest bezels Apple had shipped. Natural, Desert, White, and Black Titanium; Action Button and Camera Control; latest-generation Ceramic Shield; IP68; MagSafe at 25 W.

The 4,685 mAh cell set the endurance record the Max tier ritually claims, with independent testing clearing eighteen hours of screen-on video playback; the A18 Pro sustained peak loads longest in this chassis. Otherwise identical to the 16 Pro — the size premium bought display, battery, and thermals only.

= Camera =

The [[iPhone 16 Pro]]'s system in full, with the 6.9-inch canvas as its viewfinder: all-48 MP wide and ultra-wide, 5× tetraprism, 4K 120 Dolby Vision with post-capture speed control, Audio Mix, ProRes to external storage. The parity meant its camera reviews were the 16 Pro's — the year's best — plus the note that big hands got the best window on them.

= Software =

iOS 18 with the staged Apple Intelligence rollout from 18.1; current release train since.

= Release and reception =

The Pro Max led the generation's mix as usual — analysts tracked the richest configuration demand concentrating here for the fourth consecutive cycle — with reviews crowning the display (the 6.9-inch panel measured the industry's best) and battery while repeating the tier's weight refrain. The AI-marketing-versus-rollout gap drew the cycle's sharpest commentary; the hardware verdicts were unqualified. Discontinued September 9, 2025.

= Legacy =

The 16 Pro Max pushed the Max format to its dimensional practical limit — 6.9 inches in a hand-holdable body — and closed the titanium Pro era holding every superlative: biggest, brightest, longest-lasting, best camera. Its successor [[iPhone 17 Pro Max]] kept the size and swapped the material story for a thermal one, inheriting the demand-center role this line has now made permanent.
