Overview of current iPhone models in 2026
In 2026, Apple offers both refurbished and new models across several generations. Each model has different strengths and targets a different group of users. Let's look at them sequentially from the newest to the most affordable.
iPhone 17 Pro Max — Absolute Top-Tier
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is Apple's flagship, offering the best that mobile technology currently allows. The A19 Pro chip ensures performance that easily beats most competitors on the market, and the camera system with five-times optical zoom and 4K video recording at 120 frames per second is ideal for photographers and content creators.
Its titanium frame, ProMotion display with up to 120 Hz refresh rate, and battery life of over 30 hours of real-world use make this model an ideal choice for demanding users. Get it at koupitiphone.cz — iPhone 17 Pro Max.
iPhone 16 Pro Max — Great Performance at a Better Price
The iPhone 16 Pro Max brings the A18 Pro chip, an excellent camera system, and the same titanium design as its successor, but at a significantly lower price. For most users, the performance difference between the A18 Pro and A19 Pro in daily use is practically imperceptible. It's one of the best performance-to-price ratios in the premium category.
This model will be especially appreciated by photographers, videographers, and users who want a device for 4–5 years without compromise. More information at koupitiphone.cz — iPhone 16 Pro Max.
iPhone 15 Pro — Powerful Mid-Range for Demanding Users
