A bigger display, borrowed 5x tetraprism zoom from the Max and no price hike make this the best iPhone

PRICE 128GB, £833 (£999 inc VAT) from apple.com/uk
L ike the regular iPhone 16, the Pro model comes in two versions: one Iwith a 6.3in display, and the ginormous 6.9in iPhone 16 Pro Max. If you're a believer that big is beautiful then flip the page for our full review of the Max, but I'm here to tell you that the iPhone 16 Pro is all the phone most people will need.
The first thing that's new about the iPhone 16 Pro is a larger screen. It's only 0.2in bigger than last year's model, but somehow it feels more luxurious. Perhaps it's because the bezels have also become thinner, so the case is barely any larger than the iPhone 15 Pro (see issue 351, p62), and still comfortable to use with one hand.
The design should be more durable, too; Apple claims the Ceramic Shield display is 50% tougher than before, while the edging is still made of titanium rather than aluminium.
My only disappointment is that there are no flashy colour options, unlike the standard iPhone 16: Pro users can choose from white titanium, black titanium, natural titanium and the new desert titanium, which is like a soft rose gold.
Aside from its size, the OLED screen hasn't really changed from the past generation, keeping the same super-sharp 460ppi pixel density, the same maximum 120Hz refresh rate and the same maximum brightness.
That's fine with me, as it still looks great; I measured a peak HDR brightness of 1,553cd/m², which is higher than the regular iPhone 16.
In fact, the most significant change is the minimum brightness, which now goes as low as 1cd/m²- half as bright as the iPhone 15 Pro. The difference is plainly visible in a dark room, and helps when you want to use your phone in a dim environment without annoying those around you.
