If you thought the iPhone 15 Pro Max was too big at 6.7 inches, wait 'til you get your hands on the iPhone 16 Pro Max. This thing is a phablet (an amalgamation of the words "phone" and "tablet.")

It's also worth noting that the iPhone 16 Pro Max has ultra-thin bezels, so you're getting a higher screen-to-body ratio on the new-gen model. In other words, you're getting more display real estate on the Phone 16 Pro Max.
Other than that, both the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the iPhone 15 Pro Max have the following in common:
1,000-nit panel
2,000 nits peak brightness
Ceramic Shield display
Always-on display
ProMotion (variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz)
Dynamic Island
If you prefer a gigantic display, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is your best bet.
It's also worth noting that the iPhone 16 Pro Max has a new "Camera Control" button, too, that can be found on the right side of the chassis.
Both the iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro Max offer the following colorways:
White Titanium
Black Titanium
Natural Titanium
However, the iPhone 15 Pro Max also has a Blue Titanium color.

iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. iPhone 15 Pro Max cameras
In regards to cameras, here are where the iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro Max match:
48MP wide camera
12MP telephoto with 5X optical zoom
12MP selfie camera
However, where they differ is the ultrawide lens. The iPhone 16 Pro Max now has a 48MP utlrawide lens, up from the iPhone 15 Pro Max's 12MP ultrawide lens. As such, your wide-angle pictures and landscape shots should look even more detailed and perform better in low-light environments.

iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. iPhone 15 Pro Max battery life

iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. iPhone 15 Pro Max: Winner
Let's be honest. Battery life is important to a lot of us. If Apple's 33-hour battery life claim is accurate, it's definitely worth the upgrade.
Plus, I got a chance to play around with the new Camera Control button, and it's definitely another big selling point. Add the bigger 6.9-inch display, and I'm sold.
