Adam Kos Apple introduced the iPhone 16 series in September last year. It has been on the market for over 6 months now, and it has been 6 months since the top model of the series, the iPhone 16 Pro, was launched. Max I use it. How has the device held up over time?
Considering the specifications of the device, this is the best and most expensive one iPhone, which you can buy. For this reason, it is also quite clear that the experience cannot be negative. However, compared to my review of the phone, something may have changed in that time. So how about iPhone 16 Pro Max I'm looking at it after half a year of use?
Display and dimensions
When Apple introduced iPhone 14 Pro Max, this model brought several major innovations. The first was Dynamic Island, the second was a 48MPx main camera. But the device was large and really heavy, which was a problem when using it for a long time. In contrast iPhone 15 Pro Max He made the body smaller and significantly lighter by replacing steel with titanium. He also added an absolutely fantastic 5x telephoto lens that I fell in love with immediately and wouldn't go back for anything.

When Apple introduced iPhone 16 Pro Max, there was a bit of disappointment. The company increased its display from 6,7 to 6,9 inches, which also increased the dimensions. Just iPhone 16 Pro Max thus became the highest iPhonewho ever Apple created and it still bothers me. It is 163 mm, the predecessor was only 159,9 mm, iPhone 14 Pro Max It was 160,7 mm. But while you can't actually see the 0,2-inch increase in display size, you can still feel the increased height. In your hand and in your pocket.

With the iPhone 16 Pro, it made sense to make the display bigger to make it stand out from the base model, but with the Max it was a bit of a stretch. With the narrowing of the bezels, there's not much room to move, because they're really minimalistic. Which also affects occasional unwanted touches. If I could choose, I would stick with the dimensions and shape of the iPhone 15 Pro Max and I would be satisfied. We'll see what answer to the issue of dimensions the iPhones 17 will bring, where a lot is supposed to change.

The camera driver is certainly a bigger upgrade than 48MPx ultrawide-angle camera. I've really gotten used to the Controller and I'd hate to lose it in future generations.

Nový ultraThe wide-angle camera of the iPhone 16 Pro thus provides more detail, and yet blurs the sides less. In addition, it is finally usable even for night photography. The standard photos are 12MPx, but if you want, you can also take 48MPx photos in RAW format. Unfortunately, 24MPx images like the main Fusion camera are not present. It is a step forward, but it still has limited use, which is of course due to its focal length.

Performance
The A18 Pro chip is uncompromising and has no limits yet. To be honest, neither does the A17 Pro. This will change over the years, but currently there is no difference even after half a year, or a year and a half in the case of the chip in iPhonech 15 Pro, somehow visible. It will be a question of what future features will bring Apple Intelligence and how new AAA games can torment it, there is not much room for concern.

I'm not worried about the new chip overheating on hot summer days. I've been using it for a year. iPhone 15 Pro Max, which only got hot in extreme situations, and not very much at that. The chip optimization is truly exemplary, which also helps the battery life, which is absolutely fantastic. The battery itself has grown a little, but due to the larger display, it also has a larger consumption. However, you won't recognize it in the end, it's really a holder. And it also offers wireless charging MagSafe power consumption up to 25 W when using a 30W adapter or more powerful. This is what they are actually realizing as they write this text, iPhone I don't charge anything other than wirelessly anymore.

Would I go to him again? I would!
I'm a photographer, not a videographer, so all the upgrades in this regard leave me cold, whether it's the logo, ACES, or noise reduction with the Audio Mix function. It's something that makes this model stand out for its Pro moniker, but you also want the higher iPhone models for their photographic qualities (telephoto lens) or ProMotion display.

If I did iPhone 16 Pro Max didn't have it, and knowing what I know about it, would I want it? Or would I try to get an older generation? Or would I choose some other alternative? "A" is correct. The future is in the Camera Driver, which Apple It is also proven by its constant improvement. UltraThe wide-angle camera then balances out the gap in the quality of the results from the previous generation, so you don't always have to think about whether you want a photo in ultraYou can take a wide-angle shot, but you'd rather snap it onto the main lens because it has better results.
The performance and options are actually uncompromising, because here is the best that can be found. Apple can. For many it may be enough iPhone 15 Pro Max, many are still satisfied with iPhone 14 Pro Max and there's nothing wrong with that. To sum it all up, the only thing that might really bother you is the size. But there's an easy solution to that, because here we have iPhone 16 Pro, which differs only in the size of the display, and therefore its battery.
