How to get the best iPhone 16 Pro Max deal

The iPhone 16 Pro Max is the most expensive handset in the new Apple line-up. Therefore, it's important to make sure you get the best deal that suits your needs.

iPhone 16 Pro Max contract options

You'll be able to get iPhone 16 Pro Max deals on all the major UK networks and retailers, but in order to keep your costs affordable, here are a few things to consider:

  • 1
    Upfront cost

    The iPhone 16 Pro Max starts from £1,199, and the most affordable way to get a contract for this phone is to pay as much upfront as possible.

    At this stage, you likely won't find a contract that doesn't have at least some upfront cost.

  • 2
    Monthly data allowance

    Keep your monthly bill more affordable by only signing up for the amount of data you need. Unlimited data packages will be the most expensive and may not even be necessary.

    Check your latest bills first to see how much data you use each month.

  • 3
    Phone storage

    The iPhone 16 Pro Max offers up to 1TB of storage. While this can be helpful, if you often run out of storage, the device will cost more.

    If you're a vlogger or filmmaker, remember you can record directly to an external SSD which could save you a lot of storage woes.

  • 4
    Which model do you want?

    The iPhone 16 Pro Max is a top-of-the-line smartphone and the largest iPhone ever produced. But if you're after a great iPhone but don't need the most powerful iPhone, you could save by opting for the standard iPhone 16 instead.

iPhone 16 Pro Max design and display

The most obvious difference in the new iPhone 16 Pro Max is its size. The top-of-the-range smartphone has grown from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches—slightly larger than the 6.8-inch Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

Like last year, it features a customisable Action button, and this model will introduce a dedicated Camera Control button to operate your iPhone camera.

iPhone 16 Pro Max camera

The iPhone 16 range has focused mainly on software and AI, allowing more impressive ways to edit photos and videos.

Like the iPhone 16 Pro, the iPhone 16 Pro Max features a 48MP main Fusion camera and an upgraded 48MP ultrawide camera that combine to offer 5x optical zoom.

The user interface also received significant upgrades with the introduction of the Camera Control button. This button can be used to open the camera app, take a photo, change focus or camera modes, and even zoom in and out with a swipe.

iPhone 16 Pro Max AI and software

Apple Intelligence is at the heart of the iPhone 16 range. The new version of Siri will operate with access to ChatGPT and will be built into the iPhone 16 Pro Max. It will feature writing and proofreading tools, generative photo editing tools and more impressive smart assistant capabilities.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max will ship with iOS18 already installed, so you'll automatically get access to new features as they're released throughout the year, such as:

  • the redesigned Photos app
  • customisation features
  • improvements to the Mail, Notes, and other productivity tools

Apple Intelligence (AI)

As new AI features are rolled out later this year, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will include a number of new impressive abilities, such as:

  • Siri upgrades with contextual AI: use more natural speech to interact with Siri
  • Visual Intelligence: use your iPhone camera to analyse, search and translate things in real time in real life
  • Genmoji & Image Playground: create your own customised emojis and images
  • Smart Photo and Video Search: search through your images and videos more intuitively

iPhone 16 Pro Max processor

The iPhone 16 Pro Max has the A18 Pro Bionic chip, which gives it the processing power needed to fully utilise the upcoming AI features.

Since processors earlier than the A17 won’t have the power needed to run AI software, these features will be limited to the iPhone 16 range, in addition to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Our expert says

“Crucially, while these AI features will be central to the iPhone 16 experience, they will only be rolled out to the most expensive models of last year’s iPhone, which means if you aren’t able to upgrade to the latest and greatest, you may miss out.


“In contrast to its competitors, Apple’s AI features won't be fully available in its final form at launch. This means iPhone 16 owners will have to wait a little longer to access the full suite of capabilities, despite paying a premium to access the latest model.


“If you are interested in upgrading to take advantage of Apple Intelligence, it’s worth keeping an eye on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, which will also receive the AI updates, as prices are likely to go down once the iPhone 16 models are available.”
