- Improved Photography and Videography: The camera system supports 4K video recording at 120 fps, Dolby Vision, and even spatial videos for Apple’s Vision Pro. This, combined with studio-quality mics, makes it a powerhouse for content creators【9†source】.
- Battery Life & Charging: The iPhone 16 Pro Max features better battery performance and faster wireless charging with 25W MagSafe support, although wired charging speeds remain the same【8†source】.
