A mobile phone with a large energy capacity and a very reliable camera system
It's been three months since I bought the iPhone 16 pro max And I shared my first impressions on the new generation flagship product of the Cupertino firm. Shortly after, I carefully analyzed the behavior of the iPhone 16 Pro Max in different fields, and on this occasion I will offer you my most sincere opinion on its performance, equipment and new features after six months of use.
In general, the terminal continues to offer high caliber performance, mainly highlighting its drum capacity and spectacular energy efficiency. His A18 Pro chip was no problem when processing the most demanding tasks.

Performance
The iPhone 16 Pro Max has performance superior to any other iPhone / Photography model: Sergio J. Ortiz
After six months, the iPhone 16 Pro Max always offers a very high level performance. I have not encountered any performance problems even in the most powerful video editing applications, neither in the most advanced graphic games, nor when opening dozens and dozens of tabs in Safari.
The truth is that you can't ask for more. Data loading speed in applications, file transfer and web navigation download time, both with a Wi-Fi signal and with 5G connectivity, are practically impossible to improve. And I say practically, because technology is constantly evolving and it is always possible to reduce loading and unloading times.
Its 6.9 -inch OLED screen with a refresh rate up to 120 Hz offers a Very good color representation Displaying high quality HDR content with a resolution of 2,796 x 1,290 pixels. Another thing that I appreciated the most in the screen of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is its brightness, its 2,000 outdoor nits make it Never have problems visualizing what is displayed on the screen, even the sunniest days. But, without a doubt, the best thing in the performance of this terminal is its battery. The iPhone 16 Pro Max has a bestial energy capacity, even if we will talk about it a little later.
Camera

The camera section of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is one of its strengths. During my initial analysis of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, I underlined its great precision of colors and its contrast, but I also wanted to indicate that it presents some small flaws, like that. In the counterattack photographs, the saturation of the images is very low And that makes the results a little false. Although it is something very natural in photography and that can be resolved with a few photo editing touch -ups.
The photos in wide angle mode of the iPhone 16 Pro Max have also been considerably improved, the ultra -wide angle lens now with a 48 megapixel sensor that transforms the extent of this type of photography into a real masterpiece. Now, I must say that during these three months, I practically did not use the wide angle, except for some occasional group photos and in certain situations where I needed to capture the whole architecture of a building during My last trip to Madrid.

The ultra -wide angle objective also detect the closest objects with an impressive level of detail. The photos in macro mode are a real delight and I could not be a fan. However, I noticed Some inconsistencies Worthy of appreciation of any amateur amateur of the world of photography with the new fusion camera of the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
See, I hope to explain to me clearly, when you bring the camera to the iPhone 16 Pro Max enough, the macro mode is automatically activated. It's great. All right. In fact, you can deactivate this focus from the phone settings. But I noticed that with the ultra -wide angle lens (the highest camera), this blur effect is lost. bokeh It looks so artistic in the photos.
Macro mode offers a very high level of detail
Therefore, if you deactivate the macro mode of the ultra-wide angle lens to get this blur in the background, you lose a lot of details in the nearest objects.This makes the elements of the foreground more vague than the elements of the background. In the two photographs that I attach below, you can clearly see what I mean and this is something that has not happened in other iPhone models with a single individual camera. Although there is a little trick to solve this problem, activate the increase in x0.5 in this type of photographs.
Despite everything, I am always delighted with the camera of the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Its night mode is wonderful and transforms the night into a day and any scene of low light is represented with great fidelity and a fascinating light. However, I still think that the software is abused to obtain these results, which slows the images of the camera a little. It happens on all phones.
In any case, I must continue to tinker with the parameters of the camera of the iPhone 16 Pro Max and to explore new ways of capturing, new perspectives, new ideas that shed light on this wonderful art that we Let's call photography.
Camera control
Control of the camera active various features of the camera
I would like to talk a little more about the new camera control but I have the impression of having entered too much into the details concerning the photography section of the iPhone 16 Pro Max. So I'm going to talk a bit about its technical functioning and designBy leaving aside its features, because it is one of the few new features of the flagship product and I think it is worth it.
The iPhone 16 range control was born as a new much faster and more accessible way to take photos and videos. It is a tactile side panel that accesses the camera application by pressing on it and active various functions of the camera such as optical zoom, portrait mode or photo styles by sliding your finger on it . Is it practical? Is it really useful? Is this the way to follow? Well, in my case, more and more. Let me explain …
At first, I noticed that Camera Control would be one of these new typical features that we tend to use a lot at the start because of the excitation of the novelty and that we end up forgetting after a few weeks. And it was like that, There was a time when I used the camera button more button on the lock screen than the camera control.. But over the months we realize that this is a novelty to which you have to get used to and, little by little, I use it more and more to access the camera.
Even if I think that should improve its design in future generations of iPhone. For example, adding a little bumpNot as high as a physical button, but enough to let you know that Camera Control is there. Maybe just a millimeter exceeding. For me, it would be ideal. Not only know that he is there – even if it may seem silly, it helps your subconscious – but also knowing exactly where to support much more automated.
Battery

We finally arrive at the iPhone 16 Pro Max section, of which I am most satisfied. The battery is undoubtedly the material component which has improved the most compared to other generations. While the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a capacity to 4441 MahThe iPhone 16 Pro Max has a battery of 4685 Mah.
It may seem that the increase is not so important, but it is noticeable. I do not know if it is a question of a18 pro chip and its energy efficiency or if we really look The most powerful battery in the history of the iPhone. What I know is that it's really wonderful. Having the iPhone 16 Pro Max for two full days – with regular use – without having to worry about loading the battery is great.
And we come to the critical point of this analysis. Something that many of you will be impatient to know and who, I am sure, will surprise you: battery health.
Battery state
When the iPhone goes from 100 % battery to 99 %, it is – I imagine – like when you have your first gray hair. This is the start of the end. And for many, a headache. But I must say that after three months of use a lot (a lot, a lot) of the iPhone 16 Pro Max … The health of its battery is always intact! has one Maximum capacity at 100 % which represents your state and 85 complete load cycles.
Iphone 16 Pro Max battery condition
I must say that I tested my iPhone 16 pro max of countless times, I played a lot of games, I use it on average 8 hours a day And I analyzed it exhaustively. In fact, I always have the permanent display function activated, because it is something that I always wanted to have and I rarely use the low consumption mode. Yes indeed, I try to avoid using third -party chargers And I only use the wireless loading system in situations where I have to load the iPhone whatever happens, even if this Ugreen loading station is very practical for me. I also keep in mind the recommended limits of load cycles (15 % to 75 %). However, I find it fascinating that after three months, the battery is always intact.
