The release of a new iPhone is always highly anticipated. This year’s models bring Apple Intelligence, better cameras, a new Camera Control and, most importantly, longer battery life. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max have larger displays, thinner bezels, an advanced A18 Pro chip and improved thermal management.

The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max got bigger this year, but most people should pick them for camera upgrades and longer battery life.

Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Max and Apple Watch Series 10 are larger devices — but they seem to come in smaller packages every year.

Whether you want something rugged and durable or sleek and stylish, here are the best iPhone 16 Pro Max cases.

Zagg is a major name in the screen protector space, and for good reason. The brand makes durable screen protectors that not only offer fantastic drop protection but also advanced scratch and smudge resistance. Zagg screen protectors come with a limited lifetime warranty, so you can get a free replacement for as long as you own your phone.

The best iPhone 16 Pro Max cases help you to protect Apple’s newest (and largest-ever) iPhone for as long as you own it. And given Apple’s extensive software support and the power of the A18 Pro silicon at the heart of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, that could be a very long time.

It’s the clash of the titans as we compare Apple’s largest ever phone, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, to last year's chart-topper, the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

It's still possible to get a new iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max from retailers if you hurry, but Apple has officially discontinued both 2023 models, as well as the iPhone 13 and other products as part of its annual streamlining.
