Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Max supports faster wired charging speeds than its predecessor, but they don't reach 45W as previously expected.

The 13 Pro Max still feels fast, takes excellent photos, and easily lasts all day on a full charge even at 88% battery health. The usual improvements you expect from a new iPhone—faster processor, better cameras, longer battery life—would be lost on me in day-to-day use.

These are the differences between the iPhone 16 Pro Max's specs and those of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, for users curious about upgrading or wondering if it's worth saving money by buying an older model.
