No — an iPhone 15 Pro Max case will not fit the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The 16 Pro Max is slightly larger, adds the Camera Control button, and has a revised camera layout, so an older case misaligns. Use an iPhone 16 Pro Max case.
Quick Take: every case here is molded specifically for the iPhone 16 Pro Max (correct cameras, buttons, ports). This is a fit + comparison guide. Shop the full iPhone 16 Pro Max lineup or call/text 978-797-0223 for help.
The size grew and a button was added
The iPhone 16 Pro Max is taller and wider than the 15 Pro Max, and it introduced the Camera Control button on the right edge. A 15 Pro Max case has no cutout for that button and is too small overall, so it won't fit.

Camera and edge changes
Apple revised the camera plateau and edge layout between these models. A case molded for the 15 Pro Max blocks the new button and can shade a lens on the 16 Pro Max.
