The latest rumors about Apple’s next iPhone model, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, suggest that the device could feature an even brighter display. According to Twitter user ShrimpApplePro, the iPhone 15 Pro Max could potentially boast a next-generation Samsung display that could reach up to 2500 nits of peak brightness.
However, according to 9to5Mac analyst Ross Young hasn’t yet heard anything about this change, and there are other ways in which Apple could increase the brightness of the display. The company could use a multi-lens array technology or remove the polarizer of the display through color on encapsulation.
Currently, the iPhone 14 Pro Max can reach 2000 nits of peak brightness, while the iPhone 14 Pro offers 1000 nits of max brightness for typical use and 1600 nits of brightness when viewing HDR content. In comparison, the iPhone 13 Pro offered 1000 nits of typical brightness and 1200 nits of HDR brightness.
If the iPhone 15 Pro Max does feature a higher peak brightness of 2500 nits, it’s likely to only apply to outdoor environments for the sake of battery life and display longevity. Normal brightness levels are expected to remain at 1000 nits.

While it’s still unclear if Apple will be able to achieve the increased screen brightness for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the technology is something that’s likely to appear in a future iPhone model, potentially in an “Ultra” model in the near future. After all, the Apple Watch Ultra already boasts a brighter display, which sets it apart from other models.
