iPhone 16 Plus vs. iPhone 16 Pro Max: Which new iPhone should you buy?

IPhone 16 Plus vs iPhone 16 Pro Max.

What can you do with an extra $300 in your pocket? Based on the current iPhone 16 pre-order sales, the figures hint that the iPhone 16 Plus is the biggest winner so far with the most pre-orders in the lineup.

In our iPhone 16 Plus hands-on review, we detail how this year’s Plus model gains even more features that have typically been reserved for the Pro models — like the ability to capture spatial videos and photos, the addition of the Action Button, and Apple Intelligence features that will come in a future software update. Factoring in its sizable display and how its predecessor had the longest battery life in an iPhone last year, there are more compelling reasons to get the 16 Plus.
