Telling it apart from last year's Pro Max
Apple introduced the iPhone 16 Pro Max in 2024 with 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB of storage. Apple's "Identify your iPhone model" page (read 10 November 2026) lists four finishes: Black, White, Natural and Desert Titanium. Used listings often mix it up with its predecessor, so it helps to know what Apple itself says differs.
| Detail from Apple | iPhone 16 Pro Max | iPhone 15 Pro Max |
|---|---|---|
| US model number | A3084 | A2849 |
| Display | 6.9-inch | 6.7-inch |
| Right-hand control | Camera Control, lower right side | None listed |
| Titanium colours | Black, White, Natural, Desert | Black, White, Blue, Natural |
| Capacities | 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB | 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB |
The capacity row is identical, so storage cannot separate them. The model number can, and Apple prints it on the phone under Settings, General, About as "Model Number".
What our checker saw
| A-number | Sold in | Checked on FullIMEI (90 days) |
|---|---|---|
| A3084 | United States, Puerto Rico | 249 devices |
| A3295 | Canada, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and others | 16 devices |
| A3296 | Other countries and regions | under 10 |
| A3297 | Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao | under 10 |
Counts are distinct handsets between 12 August and 10 November 2026. Of the 249 US-build phones:
| A3084 result | Devices | Share of 249 |
|---|---|---|
| Locked to a carrier we read | 65 | 26 % |
| Unlocked | 27 | 11 % |
| Unknown (lock not readable for free) | 157 | 63 % |
Eleven per cent unlocked is a little above the iPhone 15 Pro Max. A phone this recent is usually still being paid off, so a seller who says it is "factory unlocked" should be able to show the Carrier Lock line.
Where the lookups came from
The A3084 lookups came from the United States (68), Pakistan (62) and Nigeria (10). The US leads Pakistan by only six, which suggests that nearly as many people are checking this phone abroad as at home. If you buy one that was imported, the lock rules of its first carrier may still apply, so run the lookup rather than assuming.
Before you hand over money
- Open Settings, General, About and compare the Model Number with the listing: A3084 for a US phone.
- Check the Capacity line. Anything under 256 GB is not a 16 Pro Max.
- Press the Camera Control on the lower right edge and confirm it responds.
- Run the IMEI here, then the iCloud lock page steps: the phone must sign out of its Apple Account in front of you.
Model numbers and specs come from Apple; every count is ours and will move as more phones are checked. The next step before paying is a blacklist check.
Questions people ask
What is the model number of a US iPhone 16 Pro Max?
Apple lists A3084 for the United States and Puerto Rico. A3295 covers Canada, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and several other countries, A3297 covers mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao, and A3296 covers the rest of the world.
How do I read the IMEI when the US phone has no SIM tray?
Open Settings, General, About, or dial *#06# in the Phone app. Both read the number from the phone itself. The label on the retail box prints it too, and it should match the screen.
How can I tell a 16 Pro Max from a 15 Pro Max in a listing?
Ask for a photo of the right edge. Apple says the 16 Pro Max has a Camera Control on the lower right side and a 6.9-inch display, while the 15 Pro Max has a 6.7-inch display and Apple lists no Camera Control for it. The model numbers differ as well: A3084 against A2849 for US builds.
Is the Desert Titanium colour proof that a phone is a 16 Pro Max?
On Apple's list, Desert Titanium belongs to the 16 Pro Max, and the 15 Pro Max was sold in Blue Titanium instead. A case or a repaint can fake a colour, so confirm with the A-number under Settings, General, About.
Does the free check say whether a 16 Pro Max is locked?
It reads locks held by T-Mobile and Metro. Out of 249 US-build units checked in the last 90 days, 92 returned a reading and 157 returned unknown, which means the lock is not one the free lookup can see.
Should I trust a seller's storage claim?
Apple lists 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB, and nothing smaller. If a listing says 128 GB for a 16 Pro Max, something is wrong. Check the Capacity line in Settings, General, About.
