The iPhone 16 series is expected to launch during Apple’s event on September 9. The Cupertino-based tech giant’s upcoming flagship lineup is expected to be led by the iPhone 16 Pro Max, the top-of-the-line model with the largest display and battery. Ahead of the launch, an alleged dummy unit of the handset has surfaced, showing off the new ‘Desert Titanium’ color scheme that Apple is rumored to introduce as a new option this year, albeit a slightly different shade.
iPhone 16 Pro Max dummy unit leak
In a video placed on YouTube through the TechBoiler channel, we get a brief glimpse of an alleged iPhone 16 Pro Max dummy unit in the rumored Desert Titanium color scheme. While previous leaks suggested it would come in a gold hue, the dummy handset appears to lean more towards a brown finish. Like previous Pro models, it also features a matte textured rear panel with a chrome finish on the side rails.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max dummy unit also hints at the alleged design of the handset. Besides the volume, power and action buttons, it also features a new button that is expected to appear on this year’s models. This year’s flagship iPhone models are said to debut with a dedicated ‘capture’ button. The rear panel features a familiar triple camera setup along with an LED flash.
iPhone 16 Pro Max Specifications (Expected)
iPhone 16 Pro Max could come with a larger 6.9-inch display, claimed to have the thinnest bezels in the industry, according to a report. It could be powered by Apple’s A18 Pro chipset and will support Apple Intelligence – the company’s suite of artificial intelligence (AI) features.
In terms of optics, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to get a new higher-resolution 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera, while also retaining the tetraprism telephoto lens that Apple introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro Max last year. It could be backed by a 4,676mAh battery, compared to the 4,441mAh battery capacity of its predecessor.
