Apple is expected to bring a big change with this year’s iPhone 16 lineup. Previous leaks and rumors have indicated a change in size. The latest leak reveals mock models of the upcoming iPhone 16 lineup, including the vanilla iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and Pro Max. The most impressive detail of the leaked iPhone 16 mockups is the sheer scale of the Pro Max model.
The latest leak comes from Sonny Dixon matches previous leaks of size changes for the iPhone 16 lineup. The vanilla iPhone 16 will stick to the 6.1-inch screen, the Plus also gets the 6.7-inch screen like previous generations. However, the size changes are made for the Pro models. The iPhone 16 Pro gets a larger 6.3-inch size compared to the 6.1-inch. The iPhone 16 Pro Max gets a huge 6.9-inch screen compared to the previous 6.7-inch size.

The design of the camera module appears unchanged for the Pro models. However, the design changes for the non-Pro models. As the leak suggests, Apple may bring back the pill-shaped design from the iPhone X for the new iPhone 16 models. The main reason for this change is said to be the support for spatial video recording.
Is Apple exaggerating the size of the iPhone 16 Pro Max?
The 6.9-inch size of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is sure to set it apart from the competition. In comparison, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has a screen size of 6.8 inches. This can make the Pro Max model a bit difficult to hold and will make it a niche device. The earlier 6.7-inch display was already a decently large device, but now with a 6.9-inch screen, it seems a bit too extreme. However, I’m particularly pleased with the Pro model with the 6.3-inch display. The small improvement in display size will surely be appreciated by many people.
