iPhone 16 Pro Max was released on September 20, 2024, and it’s time to share what’s worth every ringgit—and what isn’t after using it for some time. If you’ve scrolled past headlines about the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone16e or budget models and wondered whether the Pro Max is actually worth it, stick around. By the end, you’ll know if this beast of a phone deserves the RM5,999 price tag (and that’s before promos).

iPhone 16 Pro Max Specs Review

Design & Display

Iphone 16 Pro Max design

  • Display: Massive 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED with 120Hz ProMotion, Dynamic Island, and Always‑On support
  • Body: Titanium frame with Ceramic Shield front—a sturdier combo that feels premium but adds weight (227g). It’s 2x tougher than any smartphone glass, remarkably. 
  • Colours: Available in Black Titanium, White Titanium, Natural Titanium, and Desert Titanium

Performance & Battery

Iphone 16 Pro Max Chip

  • Chip: Apple A18 Pro (6-core CPU, 6-core GPU), backed by 8GB RAM—a beast for gaming and Pro tasks
  • Battery: The largest iPhone battery yet (≈4,685 mAh) with up to 33 hours video playback, outperforming smaller models

Camera System

Iphone 16 Pro Max Camera

  • Tri-lens array: 48MP wide, 48MP ultra-wide, plus a 12MP periscope Telephoto with 5× optical zoom
  • ProRAW & ProRes video in 4K at 120fps—perfect for creators 

Other Features

  • USB-C with USB 3.2 support—fast data transfer
    Wi‑Fi 7, UWB, NFC, dual SIM, IP68 rating—no connectivity gaps
  • MagSafe (25W) and Qi2 wireless charging
  • Features Camera Control button, Apple Intelligence tools, and crash detection 

iPhone 16 Pro Max Key Features That Stand Out

  1. Huge, smooth screen—6.9 inches of buttery 120Hz goodness.
  2. Titanium body—premium feel and durability, but heavier than what you’re used to.
  3. Camera versatility—from ProRAW to 5× zoom, best-in-class imaging
  4. Top-tier performance—A18 Pro excels in speed and thermal stability
  5. Unmatched battery endurance—33 hours video means all-day and then some.
  6. Apple Intelligence built-in—smarter Siri, summarised notifications, visual assistance 

iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. Other iPhone 16 Models

Let’s compare it with its siblings:

Model Starting Price (RM) Display Chip Battery Playback Cameras
iPhone 16 Pro Max RM5,999 6.9″ OLED, 120Hz A18 Pro 33 hrs 3‑Lens Pro System
iPhone 16 Pro RM4,999 6.3″ OLED, 120Hz A18 Pro ~27 hrs Same Pro System
iPhone 16 RM3,999 6.1″ OLED, no ProMotion A18 ~22 hrs 2-lens (Wide + Tele)
iPhone 16 Plus RM3,999 6.7″ OLED, no Pro Motion A18 ~26 hrs 2-lens setup

iPhone 16 Pro Max stands out for its size, best battery, full Pro features—but with 1TB it can cost RM7,499.

Is It Worth the Price?

I’ve used phones for seven years, and the 16 Pro Max impresses—but it’s big and pricey.It’s worth it if you want the best screen, top-tier cameras, and battery that doesn’t quit.

Skip it if you just need a fast phone—standard iPhone 16 or Plus gives you A18 power at a lower price. Honestly speaking, the improvement in device responsiveness is minimal. Unless you did not upgrade your iPhone for years, or else you should not expect to notice any appreciable improvements in performance.

Right now, promos drop its price to around RM5,299–5,499—lessening the sting a bit.

Final Thought

The iPhone 16 Pro Max is Apple’s showcase of peak iPhone capability. It delivers on battery life, screen, and cameras in a way smaller models can’t match. But unless you really need the extra screen real estate or camera features, you’re saving a lot while still getting A18 performance and iOS fluidity with the iPhone 16 or 16 Plus.

If you want the best of Apple in 2025—and your budget allows it—the Pro Max is hard to beat. Just be sure you’re ready to handle that titanium slab in your pocket.
