Taller Displays and Slimmer Bezels
The iPhones have grown taller this year, with the iPhone 16 Pro featuring a 6.3-inch display, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max boasting a larger 6.9-inch screen. Both models come with XDR OLED displays, offering 2000 nits of peak brightness for excellent outdoor visibility and retaining the 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate for smooth performance, just like previous generations.
