Compared: iPhone 15 Pro Max in an iPhone 16 Pro Max case

Ahead of Apple's It's Glowtime event, there are a few iPhone 16 cases. Here's what an iPhone 15 Pro Max looks like, inside one of the new accessories. As is often the case, mock up dummy units trickle out of China-based factories based on leaked schematics. They're often used by accessory makers to check for compatibility and size prior to the device's announcement. We too are usually able to get our hands on them, giving us a great visual representation of the rumors we report on. Now, we have an iPhone 16 Pro Max case to compare it to, as well.
