With the move to titanium last year, Apple achieved a remarkable reduction in the weight of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, this year, Apple has taken a step back in some respects with the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, as both models now feature larger screens.
The iPhone 16 Pro showcases a larger 6.3-inch display compared to the 6.1-inch display of the iPhone 15 Pro. Along with this increase in screen size comes an increase in weight:
- iPhone 16 Pro: 199 grams
- iPhone 15 Pro: 188 grams
- iPhone 14 Pro: 206 grams
On the other hand, the iPhone 16 Pro Max has a 6.9-inch display, which is larger than the 6.7-inch display of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Here’s how this translates to a weight increase:
- iPhone 16 Pro Max: 227 grams
- iPhone 15 Pro Max: 221 grams
- iPhone 14 Pro Max: 240 grams

macstn’s Take
I’ll hold off on a comprehensive judgment until I have had the opportunity to spend time with the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. In the interim, I am somewhat concerned about the combination of the iPhone 16 Pro models becoming physically larger and heavier. The iPhone 15 Pro had made such a significant improvement in weight, making it feel like a truly revolutionary redesign.
That being said, I yearn for the largest possible iPhone screen. And that means I’ll be placing my pre-order for the iPhone 16 Pro Max on Friday. What about you? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
