Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a 6.9-inch display, which would be a pretty big "leap" from the 6.7-inch display on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Currently, the Galaxy S24 Ultra and Google Pixel Pro XL both have 6.8-inch displays. So if the rumors are correct, the new iPhone 16 Pro Max will be the largest flat-screen premium phone.
iPhone 16 Pro Colors
Apple is reportedly ditching the Titanium Green color option in favor of a new Desert Gold Titanium color, which will come in black, gray, and white options.
A18 Chip and Apple Intelligence
While all iPhone 16 models will be powered by Apple's new A18 chip, the public will still be able to see a split between the standard iPhone and the iPhone Pro. Experts expect the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max to be powered by the A18 Pro chip with more GPU cores.

Camera shutter button on iPhone 16 Pro
This is the biggest design change on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, this dedicated camera button will function like a shutter button, autofocusing. Meanwhile, the Action Button could become a shortcut. However, the shutter button would make sense to be reserved for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Camera upgrade on iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
Both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature a 48MP ultra-wide camera, up from 12MP on the iPhone 15 series. This will give users sharper ultra-wide shots and more flexibility when cropping. The new sensor will also collect more light, resulting in brighter photos, especially in low-light conditions.

According to rumors, Apple will use stacked battery technology on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, allowing for the integration of larger capacity batteries. It is expected that the iPhone 16 Pro can have a 3355 mAh battery and the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a 4676 mAh battery.
