The mixture of this brand-new processor with the smart enhancements included in iOS 18 will indeed amaze the typical user who would enjoy the 16-core Neural Engine with speed.
Battery and Charging
For iPhone 16 Pro Max, an increase in battery power at 4685 mAh compared to 15 Pro Max that has an internal 4441 mAh. Video watching increased from 29 hours to a whopping 33 hours in playback. Charging speeds remain unchanged, but the new 15 Pro Max’s increased top speed for MagSafe wireless charging increases from 15 to 25W.

Connectivity and Software
These newer models also feature Wi-Fi 7, which is what would allow the iPhone 16 Pro Max to benefit from speeds and performance many times higher than those of earlier modems. This phone will come with almost all of the cutting-edge Intelligence tools Apple has cooked up using iOS 18-such as revamped Siri interactivity and intelligent search. It will be crossing borders of further operation away from iOS 17 although possible to be upgraded, as compared to iPhone 15 Pro Max.
