While storage in the 15-inch started at either 256GB or 512GB SSDs and rose to 4TB, the 16-inch doubles the initial values to 512GB and 1TB and has a maximum capacity option of 8TB. Memory options are also improved in the new model starting from 16GB of 2,666MHz DDR4 and rising to 64GB, whereas the 15-inch offered 16GB to 32GB of 2,400MHz DDR4.

Even so, users are still going to have a relatively similar pixel density on the 16-inch, with its 226 pixels-per-inch display not far off the 220ppi of the 15-inch version. Of course, the increased screen size also allows Apple to increase the resolution, bringing the 16-inch up to 3,072-by-1920 pixels, while the 15-inch has a 2,880-by-1,800 display. To accommodate the extra screen estate while minimizing increases in dimensions, Apple has elected to thin the bezels on the side of the display, with the 16-inch MacBook Pro having much thinner bands to the sides.

The biggest differentiator between the two models is the screen size itself, with the 15-inch model having a 15.4-inch display while the 16-inch has a 16-inch screen. You're also carrying around more weight if you have the 16-inch model, with it being 4.3 pounds compared to the 4.02 pounds of its predecessor. A similar story can be said about thickness, as while the 15-inch version is 0.61 inches thick, the 16-inch model is marginally bigger at 0.64 inches. In terms of their physical presence, the 15-inch model is 13.75 inches in width and 9.48 inches in depth, meanwhile the 16-inch is in the same ballpark at 14.09 inches and 9.68 inches respectively. The similarity in design does mean it is hard to tell whether the version being held is the 15-inch or 16-inch variant at a glance, as an extra inch of diagonal screen size does impact the enclosure's design, but it is only noticeable at the diagonal.
