- iPhone 16 Pro Max to come in larger 6.9-inch display
- The device will maintain same width but grow significantly in height thanks to taller aspect ratio
- iPhone 16 Pro also rumored to receive larger 6.3-inch display
- First display size increases since the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max
The iPhone 15 lineup is a few months away from the typical September unveiling, yet more details from next year’s iPhone 16 lineup keep leaking. 9to5Mac was able to get their hands on preliminary CAD models from Sonny Dickson for the iPhone 16 Pro Max, using them to create renders depicting the larger and taller 6.9-inch display.
The renders showcase the iPhone 16 Pro Max with a larger 6.9-inch display, rumored earlier by trusted display analyst Ross Young of DSCC. Per the CAD models, the display will grow bigger without adding much width to the device, thanks to what appears to be a taller aspect ratio than the current 19.5:9.
The approximate width of the iPhone 16 Pro Max will grow by roughly 0.5mm compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, whereas its height will significantly increase by as much as 5mm. 9to5Mac also shared the rough dimensions of the CAD models allegedly belonging to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, providing the device’s approximate width and height:
- Height: 165.0mm on the iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. 159.8mm on the iPhone 15 Pro Max
- Width: 77.2mm on the iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. 76.7mm on the iPhone 15 Pro Max
9to5Mac warns that the information provided is early, however, and Apple could alter its plans, especially as the iPhone 16 lineup is at least 16 months away.
Ross Young was the first to break the news that Apple is planning larger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Young even teased details surrounding the exact display measurements and the new taller aspect ratio, which should be available sometime this week.
