This phone is slightly larger, but above all it is more powerful. It also has a third lens on its rear photo block. Finally, at the very top of the pyramid, we find the iPhone 16 Pro Max.Bigger, more enduring,this smartphone is what is currently best from Cupertino.

A few weeks after its release, the phone found itself in the hands of the experts at DXOMARK. They then rated it against several criteria, ranging from the quality of its camera to that of its screen to the front camera, for taking selfies.

A screen not up to par

Eventually,the only faultthat we could find on the side of this iPhone 16 Pro Max,It's his screen.If it is not bad, far from it, the iPhone 16 Pro Max panel is not found in the top positions of the ranking. For a smartphone thought to be the best in the world, this is a stain.
