24K Gold iPhone 16 Pro Max in Dubai: What Exists, What Doesn’t and Your Options
Updated 12 October 2026. Prices on this page are live listing prices.
Apple does not make a gold iPhone 16 Pro Max. It sold the phone in four titanium finishes, and the closest to gold is Desert Titanium. A real gold one is a genuine iPhone finished in 24K gold, rose gold or platinum after Apple has built it.
This page explains what that means in Dubai: what Leronza offers on the 16 Pro and Pro Max, what it costs, the option of customising a phone you already own, and the newer 18 Pro Max if you are choosing from scratch.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max before any gold
Apple’s specification for the iPhone 16 Pro Max lists a 6.9-inch display, the A18 Pro chip, 227 g and 8.25 mm, in Black Titanium, White Titanium, Natural Titanium and Desert Titanium (Apple: iPhone 16 Pro Max tech specs). None of those is gold, which is why a gold one has to be made.
Leronza’s iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max editions
Leronza still lists 16 Pro and Pro Max designs, each finished in 24K gold, rose gold or platinum at 5 to 7 microns:
| Design | What it is | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Elite | A polished single-metal finish | From $ 2,690 |
| Flora | An engraved floral pattern inspired by baroque hand drawings | From $ 3,890 |
| Aurum | A crocodile-inspired design with a gold finish | From $ 3,890 |
The Pro Max costs more than the Pro within a design.
Customise the iPhone 16 Pro Max you already own
You do not have to buy a new phone. Leronza accepts a device you already own: it is checked for authenticity and basic function, then finished with the same materials as a new piece, including 24K gold, rose gold, platinum, leather, mother of pearl and carbon fibre. Start from the customisation page.
What changes about the phone
- Wireless charging is not supported on a plated back. It charges by USB-C.
- It is not water resistant once customised, and liquid damage voids the warranty.
- Warranty: Leronza states a 2-year customisation warranty and a 1-year device warranty. The conditions are in our warranty guide.
Doing it in Dubai
Leronza is based in Dubai and does the work in its own atelier. Customisation and quality control take 1 to 2 weeks after a 50% deposit, and UAE delivery then takes 3 to 5 business days, fully insured, with a signature on delivery. To discuss a design in person, book an appointment or contact the team.
Or choose the 18 Pro Max
If you are choosing a phone now, Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max have been on sale since 18 September 2026. Leronza’s Gold iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max range starts from $ 2,990 and is the larger collection.
FAQs
Does Apple make a gold iPhone 16 Pro Max?
No. Apple sold the iPhone 16 Pro Max in Black Titanium, White Titanium, Natural Titanium and Desert Titanium. Desert Titanium is the closest to gold, but it is a colour, not gold.
Can I get a real 24K gold iPhone 16 Pro Max in Dubai?
Yes, by customisation. Leronza finishes a genuine iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max in 24K gold, rose gold or platinum at 5 to 7 microns, in its Dubai atelier.
Can I customise the iPhone 16 Pro Max I already own?
Yes. Leronza accepts a device you already own, checks it for authenticity and basic function, then finishes it with the same materials as a new piece.
Does a gold iPhone 16 Pro Max charge wirelessly?
No. Leronza states that wireless charging is not supported on a plated back. It charges by USB-C as normal.
Is it water resistant?
No. Apple rated the standard iPhone 16 Pro Max for water resistance, but a customised device is not water resistant and liquid damage voids the warranty.
Should I choose the 18 Pro Max instead?
If you do not need the 16 Pro Max specifically, the iPhone 18 Pro Max is Apple’s current model, on sale since 18 September 2026, and Leronza’s 18 range is larger.
