The iPhone 16 Pro Max screen size is 6.9″ measured on the diagonal, with a portrait resolution of 1,320 × 2,868 px. That works out to an aspect ratio of 1:2.17 and a pixel density of 460 ppi. The table above lists every number in one place.
If you searched for the screen size of iPhone 16 Pro Max, what size screen the iPhone 16 Pro Max has, or what the screen size of iPhone 16 Pro Max is, the short version is above. The rest of this page explains how to use those numbers.
Resolution vs points: what @3x means
Two sets of numbers describe this screen, and they are easy to mix up.
- Pixels: the physical dots on the display, 1,320 × 2,868 px.
- Points: the logical units that layout code and design tools use, 440 × 956 pt.
The link between them is the scale factor. This phone is @3x, so one point is drawn with a grid of three pixels by three pixels. Multiply the points by three and you get the pixel resolution.
For designers
Set up your artboard in points, then export assets at @3x. A button that is a certain number of points wide in your design file will be three times as many pixels wide in the exported image. If you design directly in pixels, remember that your spacing and type sizes need to be divided by three to match what developers see.
For developers
In SwiftUI and UIKit you work in points, so you rarely touch the raw pixel count. Supply @3x images for bitmaps where you cannot use vectors or SF Symbols. Vector assets scale cleanly and save you from exporting multiple sizes.
What the numbers mean for wallpapers, screenshots and app design
Wallpapers
For a sharp wallpaper, start from an image that is at least 1,320 × 2,868 px. The tall shape with a ratio of 1:2.17 means a wide landscape photo will be cropped heavily. Keep the main subject near the center, and leave breathing room at the top and bottom for the clock, widgets and dock. Exact placement depends on your lock screen and home screen setup.
Screenshots
A full-screen capture on this phone matches the native resolution. If you share it on social platforms, the platform may recrop or recompress it. For posts and stories, check our guides to Instagram post size and Instagram story size before you export.
App design
The density of 460 ppi is high, so thin lines and small text look crisp. Still, design touch targets in points, not pixels, and leave room for the Dynamic Island at the top and the home indicator at the bottom. Use the system safe areas instead of hard-coding offsets, so your layout adapts across devices.
App Store screenshot size for iPhone 16 Pro Max
For this class of iPhone (large display with Dynamic Island), the accepted App Store screenshot sizes are 1,260 × 2,736 px or 1,290 × 2,796 px or 1,320 × 2,868 px. One of those matches the native resolution, 1,320 × 2,868 px, so a straight simulator or device capture can work as is.
Tips for submissions:
- Pick one accepted size and use it for every screenshot in the set.
- Export in portrait unless your app is landscape only.
- Check App Store Connect for the current requirements, since Apple can change them and menus differ by version.
Comparison with neighboring models
If you design for several iPhones, it helps to see how this model sits next to others. Each page below has its own full set of numbers:
The iPhone 16 Pro Max has the 6.9″ diagonal and 440 × 956 pt logical size listed here. Open the pages above to compare their points and resolution against these. When layouts are built with safe areas and flexible constraints, a design for one large iPhone usually adapts well to the others, but always test on more than one size.
How to make a mockup with the tool on this page
The mockup tool places your screenshot inside an iPhone frame, so you can use it for store listings, social posts or a landing page. Menus and labels can differ slightly by version, but the flow is generally the same.
- Capture or export your screenshot in portrait, ideally at 1,320 × 2,868 px so it fills the screen without stretching.
- Upload the image to the mockup tool on this page.
- Check that the screenshot sits fully inside the frame and that nothing important is hidden behind the Dynamic Island area.
- Choose a background color or keep it transparent, if the tool offers that option.
- Download the result and use it where you need it.
