The first opportunity was the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in Juneat the first Details about iOS 18 redden.

iPhone 16 Pro Max – When will the new top smartphone come onto the market?

Anyone who has been an Apple customer for a long time will know that the Californian manufacturer has established a certain release cycle in recent years. For years, Apple has been presenting its new iPhone series in the fall and recently confirmed this assumption by announcing its new keynote entitled “It’s Glowtime”. This starts on September 9th at 7 p.m. and will be broadcast live on the manufacturer’s website and YouTube channel.

The newly unveiled iPhone went on sale the following Friday, suggesting that the iPhone 16 Pro Max could possibly be available as early as September 13 this year.

Price for the iPhone 16 Pro Max: How expensive is it expected to be?

The iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to be in the same price range as the previous model. The iPhone 15 Pro Max will be priced at launch at $1,199 (around €1,200 in Germany) for the base model with 256 GB of storage. However, due to potential camera upgrades and increased component costs, the iPhone 16 Pro Max could be even more expensive than its predecessor, as Apple could be forced to pass on the cost increase to its customers. This is suggested by a report from the Apple portal macrumors.com, among others.

iPhone 16 Pro Max: Is a major camera upgrade coming?

Regarding the camera of the expected most expensive model of the new iPhone 16 series, some leaks have appeared online that suggest a significant improvement. For example, Forbes magazine reports, citing the Chinese leaker “OvO Baby Sauce OvO”, that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will probably be equipped with a new main camera sensor, the Sony IMX903, with 48 megapixels.

There will also be a much better ultra-wide-angle camera, which will only be installed in the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the iPhone 16 Pro. Here, the leaker expects a jump from 12 megapixels to a 48 megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. This change could greatly improve photos taken in low light conditions, as the larger sensor can capture significantly more light. The Pro Max could also share an anti-reflective optical coating with the 16 Pro to reduce reflections caused by sunlight when taking photos. This would finally solve an annoying camera problem for both models.

Technical data – This is what leaks suggest about the chip, battery, etc.

In addition to the camera upgrades, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is also expected to offer significant improvements in other technical areas. According to a report by tech portal techcrunch.com, a key feature is the integration of the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon X75 5G modem, which promises a faster and more efficient 5G connection. Additionally, the iPhone 16 Pro Max models could come with Wi-Fi 7, which will enable significantly faster data transfer rates. There are also rumors of a new battery technology that could enable higher capacity and longer lifespan, meaning longer runtime between charges, especially with more intensive use.

It is also currently rumored that the iPhone 16 will be available in two new colors. It is not yet known how much influence the color scheme of the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have. However, initial leaks have brought a new color called “Desert Titanium” into play for the Pro models.

By the way: With modern smartphones, documents can be scanned easily and conveniently on both Android and iOS, using integrated functions and apps such as Google Drive, Microsoft Lens, the Notes app and various scanner apps. The iPhone 16 is not yet on the market, but the first rumors about the iPhone 17 are already circulating. It could have an ultra-thin design, a 6.6-inch display and a 5G chip developed by Apple, as a renowned analyst reports.
