Should you buy the iPhone 16 Pro Max?

Buy it if

  • You want the largest screen and longest battery life Apple has ever put in an iPhone
  • 5x optical zoom, 4K 120fps slow motion, and the titanium build all matter to your use case
  • You're a heavy user who wants the most capable iPhone of its generation

Skip it if

  • Size and weight are real concerns — 227g and 6.9 inches is large even by current standards
  • You'd rather wait for the iPhone 17 Pro Max's even larger battery and aluminum unibody
  • You don't need the largest possible screen — the smaller 16 Pro covers nearly the same feature set
