The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max got bigger this year, but most people should pick them for camera upgrades and longer battery life.

The $999 iPhone 16 Pro and $1,199 iPhone 16 Pro Max have everything we've come to expect in a year-over-year upgrade. They lack Apple Intelligence at launch but make up for it in other ways.

The release of a new iPhone is always highly anticipated. This year’s models bring Apple Intelligence, better cameras, a new Camera Control and, most importantly, longer battery life. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max have larger displays, thinner bezels, an advanced A18 Pro chip and improved thermal management.
