Design of iPhone 16 Pro Max will make it sci-fi level awesome, leak suggests

The phone is expected to measure 163.024mm × 77.575mm × 8.26mm, which would make it taller, wider, and somewhat thinner than the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which has dimensions of 159.9 x 76.7 x 8.3 mm.

As you may have noticed, the phone doesn’t seem to have grown as much in size as you might have expected, considering the increase in the screen size. That has probably been made possible by the Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology.

Ice also says that the 1.153mm bezels will be symmetrical. The Galaxy S24 Ultra, which currently holds the record for having the slimmest bezels, has 1.55mm borders.

This means that there will hardly be any difference between the bezels of the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but where things get interesting, as Ice points out, is that when you take into account both the bezel width and the middle frame, the iPhone 16 Pro Max handily beats Samsung’s flagship.

Per the tipster, the total bezel width (bezel and middle frame) for the iPhone 16 Pro Max is 2.146mm, while the figure is 3.38mm for the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Ice also says that the width of the iPhone 16 Pro Max‘s screen is going to be 77.6mm, which will make it more compact than the Galaxy S24 Ultra whose screen is 79mm wide.

Why do all these measurements matter? Well, for once, according to Ice, the iPhone 16 Pro Max‘s design is superior, which, of course, is a subjective opinion. The second and more important point is that the iPhone 16 Pro Max might feel more comfortable in hand.

And comparison with the Galaxy S24 Ultra aside, the relative compactness of the iPhone 16 Pro Max would be a huge relief for potential buyers who are dreading a bigger Pro Max model.
