What is an iPhone 16 Mockup?

iPhone 16 mockups are essential for creating professional-looking app store screenshots that show your app running on the latest Apple hardware. Using current device frames signals that your app is up-to-date and optimized for the newest devices, which builds user confidence.

The iPhone 16 lineup includes four models with different screen sizes: iPhone 16 (6.1"), iPhone 16 Plus (6.7"), iPhone 16 Pro (6.3"), and iPhone 16 Pro Max (6.9"). For app store screenshots, the Pro and Pro Max frames are most commonly used because they represent the premium devices that most closely match the required screenshot dimensions for App Store Connect (6.7" display: 1290 x 2796 pixels, 6.5" display: 1284 x 2778 pixels).

When using device mockups in screenshots, keep these best practices in mind: use high-resolution frames (at least 2x the display resolution) to avoid pixelation. Choose frames that match your app's aesthetic: dark titanium frames work well with dark UI themes, while natural titanium suits lighter designs. Do not crop the device frame awkwardly or use frames with visible buttons or bezels that distract from your app content. Consider whether full-device frames or cropped "floating" device views work better for your layout. Many developers now use frameless or minimal mockup styles where just a subtle device outline or shadow is visible, which puts more focus on the app itself.

AI tools like ScreenMagic automatically handle device frame selection and sizing, removing the need to manually source and position mockup files.
