Replaced Sizes:
- 6.9-inch screenshots replace the previous 6.7-inch requirement
- 5.5-inch screenshots are no longer needed
Applicability:
- Required for apps running on iPhone if 6.5" display screenshots aren't provided
- Applies to iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Plus, and previous Pro Max and Plus models
Changes for iPad Screenshots:
- Only one set of iPad screenshots is now required
- Screenshots for older iPad generations have been removed from the requirements
Impact on Developers:

- Existing apps may need to update their App Store listings to include the new screenshot sizes
This update ensures that App Store listings will accurately represent how apps appear on the newest iPhone models, particularly the iPhone 16 Pro series.
