A few things worth noting when comparing these numbers. The iPhone 17 Air is the thinnest iPhone ever made at just 5.64mm - that’s a 55% difference in thickness compared to the iPhone 17 Pro Max at 8.75mm. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 steps up to a 6.3″ display compared to the iPhone 16’s 6.1″, making it 2mm taller, 0.2mm thicker, and 36g heavier than its predecessor. Across the entire current lineup, display sizes range from 4.7 to 6.9 inches, giving buyers more choice than ever when it comes to finding the right fit. Remember that protective cases add bulk and weight to all of these measurements. If you’re checking your current device’s portability or sizing up a phone before trading it in, be sure to factor in your case. Note that each iPhone model also offers varying battery life performance, which we’ll explore in detail below.

iPhone 17 series

The iPhone 17 lineup brings Apple’s newest size options, including the top-end Pro Max with the biggest screen yet and the slimmer Air model for those who want a large display in a lighter package.

iPhone 17 Pro Max

The iPhone 17 Pro Max is Apple’s largest iPhone to date, with a 6.86-inch display and the biggest overall size in the lineup. Its measurements are 163.4 x 78.0 x 8.75 mm. See how it stacks up in our iPhone 15 Pro Max vs iPhone 17 Pro Max comparison.

iPhone 17 Air

The iPhone 17 Air offers a large-screen experience in a remarkably slim build. It features a 6.5-inch display and measures 156.2 x 74.7 x 5.64 mm-making it the thinnest option in the current lineup, and a striking 55% thinner than the Pro Max.

iPhone 17 Pro

The iPhone 17 Pro delivers Pro-level features in a more compact body than the Pro Max. It features a 6.27-inch display and measures 149.6 x 71.5 x 7.95 mm. If you’re weighing your options, our breakdown of iPhone 17 vs 17 Pro differences can help.

iPhone 17

The base iPhone 17 features a 6.27-inch display and offers a modern screen size without the added bulk of the Pro Max. The iPhone 17 measures 149.6 x 71.5 x 8.0 mm and weighs 177g-making it 2mm taller, 0.2mm thicker, and 7g heavier than the iPhone 16 it replaces. You can explore iPhone 17 colors and pricing across every model to plan your purchase.

iPhone 16 series

Apple released the iPhone 16 series in 2024, bringing upgraded internals and the most advanced camera system the company had built at the time. The iPhone 16 series maintains a design language similar to the iPhone 15, with incremental refinements to dimensions and features.

Let’s take a look at the various sizes that the iPhone 16 series has to offer.

iPhone 16 Pro Max

As the largest model in the iPhone 16 lineup, the iPhone 16 Pro Max features a 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display. This model is slightly larger than the iPhone 15 Pro Max and maintains the Super Retina XDR OLED display technology Pro Max users have come to expect. The iPhone 16 Pro Max also features Apple’s A18 Pro chip, an upgraded triple-lens camera system, and a battery that delivers all-day performance for that expansive display. At 227g, it is the heaviest model in the iPhone 16 lineup.

iPhone 16 Pro

The iPhone 16 Pro comes with many of the same flagship features as the iPhone 16 Pro Max but in a more compact form factor. This model features a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, offering the Pro line’s advanced camera capabilities and ProMotion display technology in a smaller package. The iPhone 16 Pro measures 149.6 x 71.5 x 8.25 mm.

iPhone 16 Plus

The 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display on the iPhone 16 Plus provides a top-notch viewing and user experience at a lower price point than the Pro models. While it has a large screen, it lacks some of the Pro line’s advanced features such as the ProMotion display and enhanced triple-lens camera system. The iPhone 16 Plus measures 160.9 x 77.8 x 7.8 mm, making it a great option for those who want a big screen without the Pro price tag.

iPhone 16

The iPhone 16 is the base model of the 2024 lineup and features a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display. While this model is the smallest in the 2024 lineup, it still includes the A18 chip and updated camera features found across the iPhone 16 series. The iPhone 16 measures 147.6 x 71.6 x 7.8 mm and weighs 170g, making it the lightest option in the entire iPhone 16 range.

iPhone 15 series

Apple released the iPhone 15 series in 2023 with several technical improvements across all models, keeping the same launch prices as the iPhone 14 lineup.

The iPhone 15 series dimensions tell an interesting story when you compare them across generations or check your current device’s specs before trading it in.

iPhone 15 Pro Max

The iPhone 15 Pro Max features a 6.7-inch OLED display with the same Super Retina XDR technology found in previous Pro Max models. It measures 159.9 x 76.7 x 8.25 mm. This makes it one of Apple’s larger iPhone models, ideal for those who want maximum screen space. The iPhone 15 Pro Max sits at the top of Apple’s pricing structure for the 15 series. The profile is slightly thicker than the standard iPhone 15, accommodating a larger battery and more advanced camera system.

• Battery Life: Up to 29 hours video playback
• Camera: Triple-lens system with 48MP main sensor

iPhone 15 Pro

The 6.1-inch OLED display on the iPhone 15 Pro achieves a harmonious blend between a roomy screen and a compact design, delivering the same resolution and pixel density as the Pro Max. This model measures 146.6 x 70.6 x 8.3 mm and is known for its elegant and practical design. It’s more compact than the Pro Max model, making it easier to handle one-handed while keeping Pro-level features.

iPhone 15 Plus

The iPhone 15 Plus, like the Pro Max, has a 6.7-inch OLED display that provides a broad field of view for work and multimedia. It measures 160.9 x 77.8 x 7.8 mm overall, combining a thin 7.8mm profile with a sizable 6.7-inch screen. The combination of a large display and a slim profile gives you screen space without excessive bulk.

iPhone 15

The base iPhone 15 features a 6.1-inch OLED display, the same screen size as the Pro model. While the standard and Pro versions share the same screen size, the Pro models add ProMotion technology for smoother scrolling. With measurements of 147.6 x 71.6 x 7.8 mm, it shares many physical similarities with the iPhone 15 Pro. It’s worth noting that by the time Apple released the iPhone 17, the standard model had grown to a 6.3-inch display at 149.6 x 71.5 x 8mm - making the iPhone 15’s 6.1-inch form factor feel noticeably more compact by comparison. This model offers OLED display technology in a more portable package, appealing to users who prioritize one-handed usability.

iPhone 14 Series

Apple launched the third-generation iPhone SE and the four-model iPhone 14 series on September 16, 2022. Let us examine the size of each device:

iPhone 14

The screen size of the primary iPhone 14 is 6.1 inches. The iPhone 14 brings Apple’s 2022 features to a 6.1-inch form factor at the base price point for the series. This model includes Apple’s core features without the Pro line’s advanced capabilities, making it the most affordable option in the iPhone 14 series.

The iPhone 14 series spans four distinct models, each with different size and feature combinations to suit various user preferences and use cases. At 170 grams, the standard iPhone 14 is the lightest model in the series. The physical dimensions of the iPhone 14 are as follows:

• Height: 5.78 inches
• Width: 2.82 inches
• Depth: 0.31 inch

iPhone 14 Plus

The largest non-Pro model in the series is the iPhone 14 Plus, with a display measuring 6.7 inches. The Plus model matches the Pro Max’s 6.7-inch screen size but skips some high-end features to hit a lower price point, as it lacks certain advanced capabilities reserved for the Pro series. The iPhone 14 Plus features a larger battery that delivers up to 26 hours of video playback. If you’re buying used, it’s worth knowing how to spot a third-party battery in a used phone.

Measurements: Height: 6.33 inches | Width: 3.07 inches | Depth: 0.31 inch

iPhone 14 Pro Max

The Pro Max is the most feature-packed iPhone in the 14 series. It features a 6.7-inch OLED display-identical in size to the iPhone 14 Plus-but adds the Pro-grade A16 Bionic chip, a triple-camera system, and the longest battery life in the lineup. You may also want to consider how battery health percentage affects your iPhone’s value before buying or selling. The 14 Pro Max combines top-tier performance with Apple’s largest 2022 screen at 6.7 inches.

Measurements: Height: 6.33 inches | Width: 3.05 inches | Depth: 0.31 inch

iPhone 13 Series

On September 17, 2021, Apple launched the iPhone 13 series. Four models are available across three different sizes in this lineup.

iPhone 13

The iPhone 13 has a 6.1-inch display. Apple first adopted this size for its standard iPhone models with the iPhone 11 series and continued it through several generations.

The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro share the same physical dimensions despite their feature differences.

iPhone 13 mini

The smallest model in the lineup is the iPhone 13 mini, featuring a 5.4-inch display. The Pro and Pro Max models feature brighter screens than the standard and mini models.

The iPhone 13 mini’s compact size makes it easy to use with one hand. It was one of Apple’s last mini-sized iPhones, as Apple discontinued the mini form factor after this generation.

• Height: 5.18 inches
• Width: 2.53 inches
• Depth: 0.30 inch

iPhone 13 Pro

The dimensions of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro are the same. The Pro model includes additional features such as a telephoto camera lens and ProMotion display technology, which allows the refresh rate to adapt up to 120Hz. It also includes an additional rear camera and a more advanced screen. The 13 Pro features a 6.1-inch display with ProMotion technology.

• Height: 5.78 inches
• Width: 2.82 inches
• Depth: 0.30 inches

iPhone 13 Pro Max

The largest iPhone 13 series model is the Pro Max. At 6.7 inches, it was one of Apple’s largest displays at the time of its launch in 2021, though subsequent generations have pushed screen sizes even further - the iPhone 17 Pro Max, for example, now features a 6.86-inch display. The iPhone 13 Pro Max included advanced features such as ProMotion technology, a triple-camera system with macro photography capabilities, and up to 1TB of storage.

• Height: 6.33 inches
• Width: 3.07 inches
• Depth: 0.30 inch

iPhone 12 Series

Each iPhone series introduced new size variations. The iPhone 12 series was released in October 2020, a year before the iPhone 13 series. The two are slightly different from one another.

iPhone 12

The iPhone 12 is the base model in this series. It has an edge-to-edge 6.1-inch display. The 12 and 13 are nearly identical in terms of dimensions, and you’ll notice there isn’t much difference in depth when comparing the two.

iPhone 12 mini

The iPhone 12 mini is the smallest device in this series. At 140 grams, it’s the lightest iPhone 12 model. This model’s display is 5.4 inches, just like that of the iPhone 13 mini.

• Height: 5.18 inches
• Width: 2.53 inches
• Depth: 0.29 inches (slightly less than that of the iPhone 13 mini)

iPhone 12 Pro

The iPhone 12 Pro adds Pro-level features to the standard iPhone 12’s 6.1-inch form factor. Key features include a triple-camera system with a LiDAR scanner. If you’re buying used, it’s worth knowing the signs a used phone had previous screen repairs.

• Height: 5.78 inches
• Width: 2.82 inches
• Depth: 0.29 inches

iPhone 12 Pro Max

The iPhone 12 Pro Max has the largest screen in the series. The edge-to-edge display on this device measures 6.7 inches. It features a triple-camera system with capabilities like Night mode portraits and sensor-shift optical image stabilization. The iPhone 12 Pro Max delivers up to 20 hours of video playback on a single charge. Before purchasing, consider how cracked back glass can affect a phone’s value.

• Height: 6.33 inches
• Width: 3.07 inches
• Depth: 0.29 inches

iPhone 11 Series

Apple released the iPhone 11 series in September 2019 with three models, marking the first time the company used the Pro and Pro Max names that continue today. The Pro and Pro Max naming has appeared in every iPhone series since.

iPhone 11

The iPhone 11 is the standard model in this series. It features a 6.1-inch display, the same screen size shared by several models in the iPhone 12, 13, and 14 lineups.

• Height: 5.94 inches
• Width: 2.98 inches
• Depth: 0.33 inches

iPhone 11 Pro

The iPhone 11 Pro is actually smaller than the standard iPhone 11. Instead of a 6.1-inch display, it features a 5.8-inch screen, making it one of the more compact Pro models Apple has released.

• Height: 5.67 inches
• Width: 2.81 inches
• Depth: 0.32 inches

iPhone 11 Pro Max

The iPhone 11 Pro Max is the largest model in the 11 series, featuring the most advanced camera system and longest battery life of the lineup. It has a 6.5-inch display, which was one of Apple’s largest screen options at the time of its release, though later models like the iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Pro Max have since surpassed it with displays reaching up to 6.9 inches.

• Height: 6.22 inches
• Width: 3.06 inches
• Depth: 0.32 inches

iPhone X Series

Apple took a different approach with the iPhone X series. Unlike later series, Apple spread the iPhone X releases across two years instead of launching all models at once. Here’s how the iPhone X series models compare in size:

iPhone X and XS

Model	Height	Width	Depth
iPhone X / XS	5.65′′	2.79′′	0.30′′
iPhone XS Max	6.20′′	3.05′′	0.30′′
iPhone XR	5.94′′	2.98′′	0.33′′

iPhone X

On November 3, 2017, Apple released the iPhone X. The iPhone X introduced several significant design changes, including the first edge-to-edge OLED display and Face ID technology. These were the first iPhones with edge-to-edge screens.

Measurements: Height: 5.65 inches | Width: 2.79 inches | Depth: 0.30 inches

iPhone XS

On September 21, 2018, Apple released the iPhone XS and XS Max, a year after the iPhone X. The iPhone X and XS share nearly identical dimensions and display sizes. They are the same size and have edge-to-edge 5.8-inch displays. The main difference between the models is weight: the iPhone X weighs 174 grams compared to the XS’s 177 grams.

Measurements: Height: 5.65 inches | Width: 2.79 inches | Depth: 0.30 inches

iPhone XS Max

The iPhone XS Max shares most features with the XS but comes in a larger size. It is the largest model in the X series. The model features a 6.5-inch display and is over an ounce heavier than the XS.

Measurements: Height: 6.20 inches | Width: 3.05 inches | Depth: 0.30 inches

iPhone XR

Apple released the iPhone XR last in the X series, launching it on October 26, 2018. It sits between the XS and XS Max in terms of size, featuring a 6.1-inch LCD display. Despite its larger screen compared to the XS, it is actually slightly shorter and thinner than the XS Max, and notably thicker than both XS models due to its LCD panel rather than OLED.

Measurements: Height: 5.94 inches | Width: 2.98 inches | Depth: 0.33 inches

iPhone 8 Series

The iPhone 8 series includes two models. Roughly one month before the iPhone X’s release, Apple made them available on September 22, 2017.

iPhone 8

The iPhone 8 is smaller than many of the more recent models. The display on this model is 4.7 inches, compared to modern iPhones which range as large as 6.9 inches. The iPhone 8 series represents the last models featuring traditional rectangular displays with visible bezels before Apple introduced the edge-to-edge OLED display with the iPhone X.

• Height: 5.45 inches
• Width: 2.65 inches
• Depth: 0.29 inch

iPhone 8 Plus

When the Apple iPhone 8 Plus was introduced, it was among the biggest smartphone models made by the company. It weighs about two ounces more than the typical iPhone 8 and has a 5.5-inch display. By today’s standards, however, it’s considered mid-sized - the iPhone 17 Pro Max, for example, features a 6.86-inch display and the lineup has grown to include eleven different display sizes ranging from 3.5 to 6.9 inches.

• Height: 6.24 inches
• Width: 3.07 inches
• Depth: 0.30 inches

iPhone 7 Series

On September 16, 2016, Apple released the iPhone 7 series. The iPhone 7 series marked Apple’s removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack and included two model variants.

iPhone 7

Like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 8, the iPhone 7 sports a 4.7-inch display. Despite sharing the same screen size as the iPhone 8, the iPhone 7’s overall dimensions are marginally smaller than those of the iPhone 8.

iPhone 7 Plus

The iPhone 7 Plus featured a dual-camera system and larger battery capacity compared to the standard iPhone 7. This series’ larger model features a 5.5-inch display.

• Height: 6.23 inches
• Width: 3.07 inches
• Depth: 0.28 inches

iPhone 6 Series

I need to check the release dates mentioned in the intro. The iPhone 6 was released September 19, 2014, and the iPhone 6s was released September 25, 2015 - those are correct.

I also need to verify the claim about the 6s Plus dimensions being “slightly larger than those of the preceding Plus model.” Comparing: iPhone 6 Plus is 6.22 x 3.06 x 0.28, and iPhone 6s Plus is 6.23 x 3.07 x 0.29 - that is correct.

The content looks accurate and well-written. I’ll check carefully for spacing, punctuation, and grammar issues.

iPhone 6 Series

Apple introduced the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus on September 19, 2014. On September 25, 2015, they released the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.

iPhone 6

The iPhone 6 is the more compact model in this line-up, featuring a 4.7-inch screen. These models include Touch ID fingerprint recognition integrated into the home button. The iPhone 6 includes core features such as Touch ID and an 8MP camera, without the enhanced capabilities found in the Plus model.

• Height: 5.44 inches
• Width: 2.64 inches
• Depth: 0.27 inches

iPhone 6 Plus

The iPhone 6 Plus has more advanced features than the standard iPhone 6, including longer battery life and a more sophisticated camera system with optical image stabilization. The display on this model is 5.5 inches, making it considerably larger than the standard model.

• Height: 6.22 inches
• Width: 3.06 inches
• Depth: 0.28 inches

iPhone 6s

The iPhone 6s shares nearly identical dimensions with the standard iPhone 6, featuring the same 4.7-inch display. Notable upgrades over the iPhone 6 include 3D Touch technology, an improved 12MP camera, and expanded storage options.

• Height: 5.44 inches
• Width: 2.64 inches
• Depth: 0.28 inches

• Height: 6.23 inches
• Width: 3.07 inches
• Depth: 0.29 inches

Frequently Asked Questions About iPhone Sizes

Consider the following often-asked questions about iPhone size comparisons:

Which is larger, the iPhone 14 Plus or the iPhone 14 Pro Max?

Both phones use a 6.7-inch screen, but their bodies differ slightly. The iPhone 14 Plus is a touch wider yet thinner and lighter (160.8 × 78.1 × 7.8 mm, 203 g). The iPhone 14 Pro Max is a hair narrower but thicker and heavier (160.7 × 77.6 × 7.9 mm, 240 g). Day-to-day, the size difference is barely noticeable.

Which iPhone models have a 6.7-inch screen?

Apple has used the 6.7-inch display on multiple phones, including:

• iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max
• iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro Max
• iPhone 16 Plus
• Earlier 13 Pro Max and 12 Pro Max models

How does iPhone 14 Pro Max differ from iPhone 13 Pro Max?

The following are the main differences between the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro Max:

The iPhone 14 Pro Max features a brighter screen that supports the Always-On function, a faster A16 Bionic chip, a new 48MP primary camera for high-resolution capture, and the ability to record Cinematic video in 4K. The Dynamic Island replaces the notch on the phone.

Which iPhone is the biggest right now?

The iPhone 17 Pro Max is Apple’s biggest phone to date. It features a 6.9-inch display (measuring approximately 6.86 inches as a standard rectangle) and measures about 163.4 × 78.0 × 8.75 mm.

Which iPhone is the smallest?

The iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 12 mini are the smallest full-featured iPhone models, both using a 5.42-inch display (measured as a standard rectangle) in a 131.5 × 64 mm frame. Apple discontinued the mini line after the iPhone 13 mini and has not released a new compact model since.

However, Apple offers the SE series for those who prefer a smaller, more affordable phone. The iPhone SE (3rd generation, released in 2022) uses a 4.7-inch display. A 4th generation iPhone SE with a larger 4.8-inch display launched in early 2025, bringing a more modern design to the budget lineup.

The size measurements of the SE series are as follows:

• First generation iPhone SE dimensions: 4.87 x 2.31 x 0.30 inches
• Second generation iPhone SE dimensions: 5.45 x 2.65 x 0.29 inches
• Third generation iPhone SE dimensions: 5.45 x 2.65 x 0.29 inches

Are bigger iPhones more expensive?

When comparing iPhone screen sizes, larger models tend to be more expensive. Apple builds larger iPhone models with more sophisticated features, which raises the price overall. Additionally, larger phones offer greater room for sharper, higher-quality screens with more details.

It all depends on what you are looking for, and you may be able to purchase a used phone that meets your perfect specs for less money than a new phone with a smaller screen. When shopping used, it’s worth checking whether a used iPhone has a service history before you buy.

Why are iPhone sizes increasing?

Phones got bigger to fit larger batteries, better cameras, and new parts like 5G antennas. People also watch more videos and play more games on their phones, so a bigger screen feels easier on the eyes. Today Apple offers small, medium, and large models, so you can still pick the size that fits your hand and pocket. Over the years, Apple has expanded from a single screen size all the way to eleven different display sizes, ranging from 3.5 to 6.9 inches.

How is iPhone screen size measured?

Apple-like all phone makers-measures screen size diagonally from one corner of the display to the opposite corner. The number (for example, 6.1 inches) tells you only the lit-up area, not the full height or width of the phone’s body. Because modern iPhones have rounded corners, the actual usable rectangle is slightly smaller than the advertised figure-for instance, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is listed at 6.9 inches but measures approximately 6.86 inches as a standard rectangle.

Is the iPhone 17 bigger than the iPhone 16?

Yes. The standard iPhone 17 uses a 6.3-inch display and measures 149.6 × 71.5 × 8.0 mm at 177 g, compared to the iPhone 16 at 147.6 × 71.6 × 7.8 mm and 170 g. That makes the iPhone 17 about 2 mm taller, 0.2 mm thicker, and 7 g heavier. Width is nearly the same, so the iPhone 17 still feels similar in the hand-just with a bit more screen.

Which iPhone has the largest battery capacity?

Apple usually puts its biggest batteries in the Plus and Pro Max models. As of the 2025-2026 lineup, the iPhone 17 Pro Max carries Apple’s highest rated capacity at roughly 4,800 mAh. Previous leaders included the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Plus at about 4,400 mAh. Exact numbers can vary slightly by region, but the rule of thumb is simple: look to the newest Plus or Pro Max if battery size matters most.

Which iPhone lasts the longest on a single charge?

Real-world tests show the iPhone 17 Pro Max outlasts every current model, often topping 30 hours of mixed use. Close behind are the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Plus, which regularly push past 28 hours. In general, the larger the phone, the longer it can run because it has room for a bigger battery.

How can a larger iPhone benefit you?
