Those who are waiting for Apple Intelligence to fully roll out and decide on which iPhone to upgrade to will be able to consider the new iPhone SE alongside the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Based on the current evidence, Apple could be on to a winner with the SE, but the disappointing iPhone 16 Pro will take a hit in sales once more.

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.

Processor: After a generation gap on the iPhone 15 and 14 models, the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro models each have an A18 chip. The main difference is an extra GPU core on the A18 Pro, but most users are very unlikely to notice.
