iPhone 16 Pro & Max: Design Specs

Apple's 2024–2025 flagship devices are here. As a designer, understanding the increased screen sizes and new viewport ratios is critical for responsive accuracy.

Designing for the Pro Max (6.9")

The massive 6.9-inch screen on the iPhone 16 Pro Max creates a larger canvas but also makes the top areas of the screen even harder to reach with one hand.

Key Takeaways:

  • Safe Area Insets: Use our Safe Area Tool to ensure your bottom navigation doesn't clash with the Home Indicator.
  • Typography Scale: With 460 PPI, text is incredibly sharp. Ensure your base font size is at least 16px (1rem) for legibility. Check our REM Converter.
  • Dynamic Island: Keep the area around the notch (402x874 pts) clear of critical UI elements.

Pro Tip:

While the resolution is high, your CSS breakpoints should target the 440px viewport width for the Max model.
