iPhone 16 Pro Max
Apple's 2024 flagship still holds the line: A18 Pro speed, a 5x tetraprism telephoto, and the biggest battery an iPhone had shipped with at the time, wrapped in a 227g titanium body. The 17 Pro Max outshines it, but discounts make it a smart buy.
Pros
- Class-leading A18 Pro performance with headroom to spare
- Excellent 4K120 Dolby Vision video capture
- Best battery life of the 2024 iPhone lineup
- Big 6.9-inch ProMotion display in a light titanium frame
- Camera Control button speeds up shooting
Cons
- 2000-nit panel dimmer than the 17-series displays
- 30W-class charging is slow for the price
- 8GB RAM against 12-16GB rivals
Good
