Compared to the iPhone 16, the iPhone 14 Pro provides an additional telephoto lens, a higher refresh rate, and the ability to record ProRes videos but misses out on Apple Intelligence features.

MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide, and a 12MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom - but is it enough? In this Photo Shoot|out Tom's Guide compare photos from the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max and Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max to see how much of a year-over-year improvement there is.

At its core, the iPhone 16 Pro is a slightly bigger and thicker iPhone 14 Pro, with two new buttons on the frame which happens to be made of grade 5 titanium rather than stainless steel. In terms of dimensions, the iPhone 16 Pro is slightly taller and very slightly thicker than the iPhone 14 Pro.

There you go: the biggest changes Apple’s new iPhone 16 will bring to your daily life. I swear I’m not trying to sell these things short. From powerful processors to (slightly) more sophisticated screens,

The iPhone 16 I tested doesn’t have the word “Pro” in its name, but it’s easy to forget that when I’m using its new dedicated camera shutter to capture a flower in painstaking detail. Or editing the audio mix of a live musical performance with a single tap.

The $999 iPhone 16 Pro and $1,199 iPhone 16 Pro Max have everything we've come to expect in a year-over-year upgrade. They lack Apple Intelligence at launch but make up for it in other ways.

I tested these models for a week after Apple’s debut, evaluating their design, display, camera, and performance.

The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max got bigger this year, but most people should pick them for camera upgrades and longer battery life.
