Experince

With its new 6.9-inch display, impressively-high brightness and class-leading color accuracy, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is tied with the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL for my favorite smartphone screen of the year. In fact I've had two of my family members — people who normally glaze over as soon as I mention anything like color gamuts or delta-E measurements — admire how bright, sharp and colorful the screen of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is. They couldn't point to what aspect of the display they like, but needless to say the quality is obvious even to non-techy people in your life.

Personal Opinion

I basically always have an iPhone in my pocket to accompany the Android device I'm testing, so since iPhones generally come out once every year, I've still got a long time left with the iPhone 16 Pro Max. But here are my thoughts after one week using the phone as my daily driver, featuring plenty of points of praise — there's a reason why it's on our list of the best phones — but also a few areas I'd love to see Apple address for the iPhone 17 next year.
