Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max
Full factory technical datasheet and laboratory hardware reference for the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max, featuring the Apple A18 Pro (3nm TSMC N3E, 16-core Neural Engine, Apple Intelligence), a 6.9" Super Retina XDR LTPO OLED (1–120Hz ProMotion, 1 nit minimum brightness) panel, and a 48MP optical camera system.
Hardware Engineering Overview: Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max
The Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max is a high-performance mobile computing device engineered around the Apple A18 Pro (3nm TSMC N3E, 16-core Neural Engine, Apple Intelligence) (6-core (2x4.04 GHz performance + 4x2.20 GHz efficiency), Apple-designed 6-core GPU with 2x hardware ray tracing). It features a 6.9" Super Retina XDR LTPO OLED (1–120Hz ProMotion, 1 nit minimum brightness) at 2868 × 1320 px (460 ppi) with 120Hz refresh rate and up to 2000 nits peak brightness. Optics include a 48 MP 1/1.28" Fusion sensor with faster readout primary sensor with hardware OIS paired with 5x Tetraprism Periscope Optical Zoom (120mm, 3D Sensor-shift OIS) zoom, powered by a 4685 mAh battery with 30W wired fast charging.
