Considering an upgrade
Screen diagonals are 6.5″ and 6.1″. iPhone 11 Pro Max has the larger display, useful when space for spreadsheets, documents or multiple windows matters. This comparison covers the stated sizes; a different chassis size may change the conclusion.
iPhone 16 is 56 g lighter (226 versus 170 g). That is a concrete advantage when carrying the device frequently, and usually matters less at a desk.
Specified maximum SDR brightness is 800 and 1000 nits, higher on iPhone 16. Consider this in bright ambient light. HDR brightness is a separate specification.
