Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max Desert Titanium – 256GB – Default Title

Strength. Beauty. Titanium

iPhone 16 Pro Max features a Grade 5 titanium design with a new, refined microblasted finish. Titanium has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any metal, making these models incredibly strong and impressively light. iPhone 16 Pro Max comes in four stunning colors, including new Desert Titanium. 

Take a closer look

iPhone 16 Pro Max has our largest iPhone display ever. The thinnest borders on any Apple product. iPhone 16 Pro Max is splash, water, and dust resistant. It also has our latest-generation Ceramic Shield material that’s two times tougher than any smartphone glass. Talk about durable.

Take total Camera Control

Now you can take the perfect photo or video in record time. Camera Control gives you an easier way to quickly access camera tools. Simply slide your finger to adjust camera functions like exposure or depth of field, and toggle through each lens or use digital zoom to frame your shot just how you like it.

4K 120 fps Dolby Vision. Cinemasterful

iPhone 16 Pro Max takes video capture to a whole new level with 4K 120 fps Dolby Vision, our highest resolution and frame rate combo yet. Enabled by the new 48 MP Fusion camera with second-generation quad-pixel sensor and our powerful A18 Pro chip, it lets you record 4K 120 fps Dolby Vision in video mode or slo-mo.

Audio Mix

Make your voice heard. Powered by advanced intelligence and Spatial Audio capture, Audio Mix lets you adjust the way voices sound in your videos using three different voice options. Want to decrease background sound? Or just focus on the voices that are in frame? Simply select the mix and adjust intensity to get the sound you want after video capture.

Viva la resolution

iPhone 16 Pro Max adds a second 48 MP camera to the Pro camera system. The new 48 MP Ultra Wide camera has a more advanced quad-pixel sensor for super-high-resolution 48 MP ProRAW and HEIF photos with autofocus.
