If you're looking for the top-of-the-line iPhone with the biggest screen and best battery life, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is the way to go.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max retains the signature features of the previous iPhone 15 Pro Max model – the same titanium frame and 5X zoom "tetraprism" periscope camera – but has been improved in a few key areas.
The screen on the iPhone 16 Pro Max is huge - up to 6.9 inches and the bezels around it are even thinner. The new A18 Pro chip is faster again, providing longer battery life.

The battery life of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is 1 hour longer than the previous generation, allowing users to comfortably use it all day long.
There are no major changes in the camera department, however. And despite the all-new 48MP ultra-wide camera, the iPhone 16 Pro Max's camera system is broadly similar to the previous iPhone Pro Max model.
Apple hasn't improved the cable charging speeds in the iPhone 16 Pro Max, but MagSafe wireless charging is now much faster - at 25 watts. However, users will need to buy a new MagSafe charging pad to benefit from this.
Currently, the starting price for the high-end smartphone is VND 28.99 million (256GB version).
