Display analyst Ross Young recently reported that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will see an increase in their display sizes compared to previous generations, growing to almost 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches respectively.

An alleged CAD model of the larger iPhone 16 Pro Max (which could possibly be branded as iPhone 16 Ultra) was recently shared with 9to5Mac by Sonny Dickson and used to create renderings showing how much bigger Apple's largest iPhone model could be for the 2024 lineup.

According to the CAD model, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will apparently grow more significantly in the vertical dimension than in the horizontal dimension, compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The overall iPhone 16 Pro Max device height would increase by approximately 5 mm to ~165.0 mm while the width would only increase by about 0.5 mm to ~77.2 mm.

It's still very early in the rumor cycle for the iPhone 16 lineup as we're well over a year away from launch, so the accuracy of the leaked CAD model remains uncertain. We'll undoubtedly hear much more in the coming months, so we'll see if future information lines up with this early claim.

Number one, does it really make sense to repeat the rumors of the iphone 16 when the 15 hasn’t even been released yet? That’s a rhetorical question. Number two, “Significantly“ is not the word I use to describe the size difference between these two images.
 
Dang I was hoping they would go the other direction and make it wider 😒 It’s already too tall for me to reach anything at the top of the screen with one hand on my 14PM, and I have pretty long fingers. I was planning on going down a size for my next phone because of it.

Plus the aspect ratio is horrible, we already have black bars on the sides of most content, this is just going to make it worse. If you zoom to fill the screen on that you’re going to crop a ton of the vertical portion of the video. It’s basically just more room for banner ads 😒😒😒

edit: The current aspect ratio is 19.5:9 for reference
 
It's really ridiculous: the name, the characteristics, the idea that doing a bigger and more expensive crap all of a sudden makes it better, and passing on the idea that this is a development model.
Apple seems to me to be drifting in the Pacific.
I think I'm going to take a break from technology for an interval to be measured in decades, because I don't know what to do with Apple's competitors' products, and Apple products make me laugh so much that I would have a hard time using them even if they gave it to me.
I've been an Apple customer for decades, I've even lived through the era of clones. I haven't seen a similar rubbish produced by the company since the Quadra days..
