Other How do you feel about bump to 6.3 and 6.9 inch on iPhone 16 pro/max models

[thadoggfather]

First screen size increase on pro line since 12/pro to 6.1 from 11 pro at 5.8

Go go go …

(Also how odd 11 pro was 5.8 oled but regular 11 was 6.1 lcd, looking back but .. guess that’s gonna be the case here regular 16 is 6.1 and 16 pro 6.3 and similar 16plus is 6.7 and 16 pro max 6.9 )

When you’ve run out of ideas…. Make the iPhone bigger!

It’s not a huge change but for me I think I’ll be positive about the screens getting a tiny amount bigger 🙂

The screen size increase will make upgrading from a 13 Pro Max to a 16 Pro not as drastic a change (going from 6.7 -> 6.3 inches) while still allowing me the other benefits I want such as better one handed use ability and lighter weight.

Our brains are highly adaptable and I think most people will simply get used to the new screen sizes, the same way they did the last time the screens increased from the 11 series to the 12 series (5.8 -> 6.1 and 6.5 -> 6.7 inches).

Don’t forget the bezel is shrinking, meaning the dimensions of the phone won’t be that much different from the previous generation. We’re talking maybe 3 mm extra in length and less than 1 mm extra in width for the Pro.

6.9 " yes please but above all I hope the OLED screen gods are good to me . Like they were with my 14PM at launch.

Bump in size is overdue. We’ve had 6.7-inch since iPhone 12. Android side has been 6.8-inch for years.

How are they going to do this? By shrinking bezels or making device bigger?

 

[StaceyMJ86]

Even though I’m not upgrading this year, I’m excited for the increase in screen sizes for the Pro Max. Next Year’s upgraded screen size will be nice for me.

Rumors say both. I plan to upgrade my 11 Pro to a 16 Pro, so I'm hoping the overall device size isn't too noticeable. My hands are small!

A little bit of this and a little bit of that

 

[JPack]

It’s a combination of aspect ratio change, larger form factor, and reduced bezels. The new aspect ratio means it’s more like a 6.8-inch in terms or display area.

 

[TechnoMonk]

I have been told bigger is not always better but I will take a bigger iPhone PM any day.

 

[kmf1]

I’d like a little wider, rather than taller.

 

[TheBMacAttack]

Wish the pro was just wider. I have the 14 PM just for the bigger keyboard real estate, but would love to go to the smaller pro again with a bigger keyboard.

 

[KooL BeAnZ]

I'm happy,

You cam still skrink the bezels a little and increase the screen size a little.

But for a phone?

7" is probably the realistic limit for a phone, and I always wanted the iphone to match the 6.9 of the Galox phones.

 

[thejadedmonkey]

I'll hold on to my mini for a little while longer.

 

[Bandoholic]

Was contemplating upgrading from 13 mini to 16 pro, but with the increased size, I’d have to try it out first.

 

[Ctrlos]

I am eyeing up the 16 Pro. I found the 14 Pro Max to be far too big, to the point it triggered arthritis in my hand. A marginally bigger iPhone 13 with a 5x zoom is the dream.

 

[Tsepz]

Excited, think it was about time for Pro Max to move up to 6.9inch.
Wish the battery would be minimum 5000mAh though.

 

[nburwell]

For me, I’m not a fan at all. I have the 15 Pro and while the screen size is okay for me, I prefer the 5.8” size (or even smaller. That said, I’m indifferent on if I’m going to get the 16/Pro, especially if the colors of the Pro models are essentially the same (except that ugly “gold” color).

TBH, I use a SE3 for work and minus the bezels, the size is perfect for holding and typing. I have gotten used to the size of the 15 Pro, but the SE is more comfortable in my hands and even with the smaller keyboard, I can type relatively quickly.

 

[TroyBoy30]

bigger is always better

 

[ProbablyDylan]

I get wanting to make the big version even bigger, but why increase the size of the regular model? People that want a bigger screen will buy the one with the much bigger screen

I want a bigger screen but I don’t want the one with the much bigger screen. I bet there are a lot of people that feel that way.

Apple is good at this. Make a tiny change that means literally nothing and it makes world news. Why stop now?
