The Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max, model A3084, launched in 2024 as the largest and most capable phone in that year's lineup, built for buyers who wanted the biggest screen, the longest battery life, and the full Pro camera system in one body. It sits at the top of the iPhone 16 range, introducing the Camera Control button alongside the A18 Pro chip and a titanium frame carried over from the 15 Pro Max. Because it ships with a 5x telephoto lens and storage up to 1TB, it holds resale interest well after release, especially in unlocked configurations and higher storage tiers. Pick your storage size, carrier, and condition in the picker above for a live cash offer, or see how the process works before you commit. When you're ready, you can sell your iPhone through Gadget Salvation directly from this page.

Confirm you have the iPhone 16 Pro Max

Open Settings → General → About on the phone itself. The Model Name field reads "iPhone 16 Pro Max," and tapping the Model Number field reveals the regulatory number, A3084, for US units. You can also find this number printed on the original box, or check it through Finder or iTunes on a computer if the phone is connected but locked. If you inherited the phone without access to Settings, the device model finder can confirm what you're holding from the physical details alone.

A3084

  • US model sold unlocked and through AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon
  • Internal identifier iPhone17,2, visible in some diagnostic tools
  • eSIM only — no physical SIM tray on US units
  • Apple part numbers begin with MYW and end in LL/A, varying by storage and finish

Prefer a visual check? The Pro Max carries a 6.9-inch display, noticeably taller than the 6.3-inch iPhone 16 Pro standing next to it. Look for the Camera Control button on the lower right edge below the power button, and a titanium frame in Black, White, Natural, or Desert finish rather than the aluminum sides of the standard iPhone 16.

Display & audio

Display

6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED with ProMotion adaptive refresh up to 120Hz and an Always-On mode. Dynamic Island replaces the notch for alerts and Live Activities. Peak brightness is the highest Apple has shipped in an iPhone display, which matters most for outdoor visibility.

Audio

Stereo speakers support spatial audio and Dolby Atmos playback. There is no headphone jack, so audio out runs through the USB-C port or wirelessly.

Security

Face ID only. There is no Touch ID and no fingerprint sensor on this model.

Ports & connectivity

The Pro Max carries a single physical port and depends on wireless standards for everything else.

Wired
  • USB-C, USB 3 speeds on this Pro model
  • No headphone jack
  • No physical SIM tray on US units — eSIM only
Wireless
  • 5G, including mmWave on supported carriers
  • Wi-Fi 7
  • Bluetooth 5.3
  • Ultra Wideband, second generation
  • Emergency SOS via satellite
  • MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging

Battery, build & more

Battery

Apple rates this as its longest-lasting iPhone battery to date for video playback. It charges over wired USB-C or via MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging, both slower than the wired connection.

Dimensions & weight

The titanium frame keeps the Pro Max lighter than the stainless steel Pro Max models it replaced, despite the larger 6.9-inch display.

Finishes

Black Titanium, White Titanium, Natural Titanium, and Desert Titanium.

Software

Ships with iOS 18 and receives major iOS updates for several years, which keeps a used unit useful well past its original owner.

Market positioning

As Apple's top-tier phone for its generation, the Pro Max holds resale demand longer than the standard iPhone 16, particularly in higher storage tiers and neutral finishes like Natural or Black Titanium.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number and exact configuration?
Open Settings → General → About on the phone. The Model Name shows "iPhone 16 Pro Max," and tapping the Model Number field reveals A3084, the US identifier for this device. The same screen lists your storage capacity under Capacity, and your carrier lock status can be checked further down or by contacting your carrier directly if the phone isn't signed in. If the phone is disabled or you can't get past the lock screen, the box, the original receipt, or the model finder can confirm which configuration you have without turning it on.
02 How do I tell it apart from the iPhone 16 Pro?
Screen size is the clearest difference. The Pro Max carries a 6.9-inch display, while the standard iPhone 16 Pro measures 6.3 inches, and the two are easy to mix up side by side since they share the same titanium frame, Camera Control button, and camera layout. Weight is the second tell — the Pro Max is noticeably heavier in hand. If you have the box, the model number is printed on it; A3084 belongs to the Pro Max, while the Pro carries a different number. Checking Settings → General → About settles it immediately if the phone powers on.
03 Can I sell it with damage?
Yes, in most cases. Gadget Salvation buys iPhones with a cracked screen, a weak battery, water damage, or a unit that won't power on, and the condition picker above adjusts the offer to match. What you can't ship is a phone still linked to iCloud with Find My turned on and Activation Lock active — that has to be removed in Settings → General → Transfer or Reset before you package it, or Apple's servers will reject the trade-in. A device flagged as lost, stolen, or still on a carrier installment plan usually cannot be accepted.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Carrier status matters most. An unlocked A3084, or one fully paid off and cleared from a carrier or corporate account, is worth more than the same phone locked to a single network or still under contract. After that, storage tier and screen condition move the number the most — a 1TB unit in good cosmetic shape outperforms a scratched 256GB one. Battery health, an intact camera glass, and having the original box and cable also help, though they matter less than carrier status and storage.
05 How do I erase it and get paid?
Back up anything you want to keep, then open Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone and choose Erase All Content and Settings. Sign out of iCloud first if it doesn't happen automatically, and confirm Find My and Activation Lock are off before you finish. Remove a physical SIM if you have one, or clear the eSIM profile through your carrier. Once the phone shows the initial setup screen, package it using the free, insured shipping label Gadget Salvation provides. Payment goes out after inspection, by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full erasure steps for every platform are on the data erasure protocols page.
