The iPhone 16 series was released worldwide on September 20, and even though Apple did not bring a radical design shift to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, it has incorporated various internal changes that have addressed the complaints present in last year’s models.
One area where the company maintains a solid consistency is build quality, as you will find out soon in the latest durability test, where the top-end iPhone 16 Pro Max barely flexes an inch when stressed from both sides.
It is definitely an improvement over the M4 iPad Pro lineup, with Apple’s 11-inch and 13-inch tablets snapping fairly easily.
The thicker logic board and new battery metal cover likely helped improve the rigidity of the iPhone 16 Pro Max Shortly after the official launch of the new models, Zach, who runs the YouTube channel JerryRigEverything, got his hands on Apple’s most premium offering for the year, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, in Desert Titanium.
While he mocks the trillion-dollar firm for keeping things the same design-wise and slapping on a new model number, he does point out some key new features, starting with the Camera Control addition.
