Testing note: The iPhone 16 Pro Max has a larger viewport reference than the iPhone 16 Pro. This can affect above-the-fold content, bottom sticky bars, and mobile screen capture reviews.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Pro Max better for reading webpages?

It usually provides more visible space, but browser UI and text size settings still affect the viewport.

Can layout bugs appear on one but not the other?

Yes. Larger viewport height or width can change where sticky elements, cards, and CTAs appear.

Should designers provide both previews?

For important mobile designs, showing both a smaller and larger iPhone reference is useful.
