Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max review: A towering success


Apple Intelligence isn't available at launch, but the features that are available make the iPhone 16 Pro Max a formidable phone.

The size difference is immediately evident when using the iPhone 16 Pro Max next to its predecessor, and what I like the most about is that the phone itself isn't noticeably bigger; Apple achieved this by trimming the bezels, and the overall effect is quite striking. While there are gains around ray tracing, rasterization is in line with last year, with the phone delivering similar scores in 3DMark's Wild Life Extreme as its predecessor — this has allowed Qualcomm to take the lead in this area. The USB-C charging port uses the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard and has the full 10Gbps bandwidth, and the best part is that it includes DisplayPort, giving you the ability to connect the phone to XR glasses like the RayNeo Air 2S and external monitors.
