Alleged iPhone 16 Pro Max CAD Model Reveals Significantly Taller Display

[MacRumors]

Display analyst Ross Young recently reported that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will see an increase in their display sizes compared to previous generations, growing to almost 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches respectively.

An alleged CAD model of the larger iPhone 16 Pro Max (which could possibly be branded as iPhone 16 Ultra) was recently shared with 9to5Mac by Sonny Dickson and used to create renderings showing how much bigger Apple's largest iPhone model could be for the 2024 lineup.

According to the CAD model, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will apparently grow more significantly in the vertical dimension than in the horizontal dimension, compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The overall iPhone 16 Pro Max device height would increase by approximately 5 mm to ~165.0 mm while the width would only increase by about 0.5 mm to ~77.2 mm.

It's still very early in the rumor cycle for the iPhone 16 lineup as we're well over a year away from launch, so the accuracy of the leaked CAD model remains uncertain. We'll undoubtedly hear much more in the coming months, so we'll see if future information lines up with this early claim.

I've created a Change.org petition to skip iPhone 15 and release iPhone 16 this year instead.

6.9" The ideal size for me. I like it. I want it. Especially with no bezels, it looks stunningly amazing.

 

[Zachari]

The tallest iPhone yet!

Yay, now I’m definitely going to skip the 15proMax…

 

[Expos of 1969]

Bloody ridiculous for a phone.

 

[Cromulent]

I like large phones so this could be pretty good for me.

I remember when I first upgraded from the regular iPhone 11 to the iPhone 13 Pro Max back in October 2021, it took some getting used to the size. It’s definitely still a bit hard to use with one hand. I wonder how I’ll adapt to the 16 Pro Max if I upgrade next year

 

[SamRyouji]

Significant it is not.
Unless the aspect ratio changes into 21:9 cinematic (like Xperia), I will not call that significant.

Introducing iPhone Fold. Running iOS 18. Do you guys like it?

Is it ever going to stop? At what point do they stop making these things bigger and heavier?

No dude, sorry can't help you with that. We need USB-C. That lightning port has got to go! 👋

I wonder when do we start getting in to the 7.0 to 7.5" screen sizes

 

[appleguy123]

if the screen had to get bigger, I was honestly hoping for a wider phone with the same height. The phones are already comically tall and it makes landscape of minimal use when that used to be a huge selling point of the iPhone.

That looks like an absolutely horrible aspect ratio to display pretty much any kind of content, so no.

am with you on that at some point this needs to stop if we keep going phones are going to start turning in to tablet size phones at 1st I was thinking screen size of 5.8 was big then 6.1 was big too now we have 6.7 wish I think is more then good for a phone we don't need any thing bigger then that

 

[snow755]

in other words we don't need tablet size phones

 

[Andres Cantu]

Great, which means the same thing will happen to the 6.3” iPhone 16 Pro.

I heard that the taller phone will have a taller price too.

 

[macsplusmacs]

made more of a difference than I thought. will upgrade to it for sure.

 

[zorinlynx]

Jeez. My 11 Pro Max already barely fits into some of my pockets. Why are they making them so much bigger?

I went from an SE to an 11Pro. The 11Pro felt heavy and cumbersome at first, but I got used to it and really liked it. Then I went from the 11Pro to 14Pro. The 14Pro felt heavy and cumbersome at first, and still does.

and to add all your apps that you used are going to need to be updated to fit a bigger screen
