The iPhone 16 Pro 256gb and iPhone 16 Pro max excel in numerous ways, from powerful chipsets to capable cameras and beyond, but do their colors impress?

Typically, Apple just offers a small number of color choices for its Pro phones, and these are usually quite smart and understated.

For the most part, this trend has continued for the iPhone 16 Pro and pro max, with four shades offered, none of which come close to the brightness of some iPhone 16 colors.
