From the back, Apple’s new iPhone 16 Pro looks identical to previous pro models. But is a bigger screen, new cameras and a larger battery worth the cost to upgrade? We’re here to help you figure that out.

The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are Apple’s newest high end phones and offer a slightly new design over last year’s iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max that could make a noticeable difference in how you use the phone. Both of this year’s Pro devices have larger screens, with the smaller Pro getting a larger 6.3-inch display (up from 6.1 inches on the 15 Pro) and the Pro Max getting even bigger with a 6.9-inch display (up from last year’s 6.7-inch display).
But while Apple keeps its base level iPhone on sale for two years after its initial launch (last year’s iPhone 15 is now $100 less and the 2022 iPhone 14 is $599), the Pro model usually gets discontinued after a year. That doesn’t mean you can’t buy last year’s iPhone 15 Pro — it’s likely still in stock at physical stories while supplies last or available as a refurbished model — but the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will otherwise displace 2023’s pro iPhone models.
