iPhone 16 Pro Max dummy vs iPhone 15 Pro Max: screen sizes
- As per the images shared by leakster Majin Bu, the iPhone 16 Pro Max dummy appears to have a larger footprint than the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
- It is believed that Apple could enlarge the upcoming top-end model by 0.2-inches. The iPhone 15 Pro Max has a 6.7-inch fascia whereas the iPhone 16 Pro Max could sport a 6.9-inch screen.
- Since the dummy's screen is off, we can't draw a comparison of their bezel sizes. Apple is expected to introduce a new technology called Border Reduction Structure (BRS) to tame the bezels on its forthcoming phones. This could mean more real estate for the user. Also, the company could offer a bigger screen without enlarging the overall dimensions of the phone. So, take these dummy references with a pinch of salt.
