Apple just retired two iPhones capable of Apple Intelligence. Even so, the range of iPhones is wider than it was a month ago.

My iPhone 15 Pro Max hasn't been my go-to camera despite it taking some fantastic photos. I've got an idea why the iPhone 16 Pro Max may be different.

As for Apple’s main high-end phone competition, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra fell well short of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, clocking 16 hours and 45 minutes of battery life, despite having a larger 5,000mAh cell (compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s 4,685mAh).

There's a cost-effective iPhone Pro if you want to prepare for Apple Intelligence, but Apple will not sell it to you.

It's still possible to get a new iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max from retailers if you hurry, but Apple has officially discontinued both 2023 models, as well as the iPhone 13 and other products as part of its annual streamlining.

When Apple launched the iPhone 16 models on September 9, it discontinued the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max units. However, Flipkart has both models available for those looking to buy and at a major discount.

The iPhone 16 chip jumps two whole generations, from the A16 to the new A18, which has a 6-core CPU (4 efficiency, 2 performance) and a 5-core GPU. In addition to increased performance, the A18 promises up to around 30 percent less power usage for the same performance as the chip that was in the iPhone 15.

These are the differences between the iPhone 16 Pro Max's specs and those of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, for users curious about upgrading or wondering if it's worth saving money by buying an older model.

While the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max have the best of Apple experience on offer, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are no longer just entry-level options—they’re making a bold statement of their own.
