As for my parents, I think they were most upset about not getting a much smarter Siri. This was the one part of Apple Intelligence they fully understood, possibly because my mother is constantly asking Siri questions (and often getting frustrated with the results). She was looking forward to a digital assistant that finally got things right.

That’s why I went out and shot over 200 photos with the iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. iPhone 14 Pro Max to see what differences there are between the two-generation gap. Earlier this year I also shot over 200 photos against the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max, only to find the outcome to come out closer than I expected.

T he iPhone 16 Pro Max is here, leading the way as Apple’s top-tier phone for 2024. That honor doesn’t come cheap, with the Pro Max starting at $1199 and going all the way up
