As anticipation builds for the upcoming iPhone 15 family set to debut this fall, tech enthusiasts have been treated to a surprising glimpse of the future. Today, CAD-based renders have revealed the first look at the speculated iPhone 16 Pro Max, slated for release in the fall of 2024. While rumors have suggested that Apple will stick with the Pro Max branding for this year’s lineup, there are indications that a shift might occur next year, potentially introducing the iPhone 16 Ultra as a replacement for the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The renders below showcase a side-by-side comparison of the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 16 Pro Max/Ultra, providing a visual representation of the rumored size increase for the iPhone 16 Ultra. Notably, the 6.9-inch display of the iPhone 16 Ultra is expected to be significantly taller than wider, though it will still possess some additional width. Preliminary estimates suggest the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have a width of approximately 76.7 mm, while the iPhone 16 Ultra is rumored to measure 77.2 mm. This places the device on the outer edge of what most individuals find comfortable, as Apple continues to push boundaries.
Reportedly, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will measure around 159.8 mm in height, while its successor, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, is expected to grow to 165 mm. This notable size increase represents a significant departure for Apple, known for its conservative approach to such design changes. Similarly, the smaller iPhone 16 Pro will also see an increase compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 15 Pro, potentially due to the inclusion of a periscope zoom lens.
Interestingly, the iPhone 15 Pro Max already incorporates a periscope zoom lens within its body, raising questions as to why the iPhone 16 Pro Max requires even more space. However, it is crucial to note that these rumors are in the early stages, considering the launch of the iPhone 16 family is approximately 14 months away. As the rumor mill continues to churn, it is expected that further details will emerge in due course. Stay tuned for updates on this intriguing development.
