What is the biggest iPhone?

Among traditional slab iPhones, meanwhile, the iPhone 18 Pro Max, 17 Pro Max, and 16 Pro Max all boast a 6.9-inch screen.

As the Max in the name suggests, the iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 18 Pro Max are also the largest in overall size (163.4 x 78.0 x 8.75 mm), with the 18 Pro Max weighing slightly more at 249g.

What is the smallest iPhone?

The recent iPhone range only includes large handsets; even the smallest models have a 6.1-inch screen.

The smallest iPhone in Apple’s current lineup is the iPhone 17e, measuring 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.8 mm.

It has a 6.1-inch OLED display, as does the iPhone 16e, which has the same dimensions and can still be found new on the retail market (often for a lower price than the 17e).

If you are happy to buy a refurbished iPhone, meanwhile, it’s worth considering the 13 Mini at 131.5 x 64.2 x 7.65 mm with a 5.4-inch screen.

Small phone fans on a budget can also seek out the discontinued iPhone SE (2022), which is still available refurbished and has a 4.7-inch screen and measures 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3 mm.

Just remember that older models will not offer the same hi-tech features as the latest iPhones.

Do bigger iPhones have better battery life?

Bigger phones generally have bigger batteries. However, battery life depends on the individual device and generation, with newer models usually outperforming older iPhones.

The iPhone 18 Pro Max promises up to 43 hours of video playback per charge. The 18 Pro model, on the other hand, offers just 34 hours of video playback per charge, while Duo users can get up to 31 hours using the larger, inner screen, but can push that up to 44 hours on the outer display.
