Apple will make the debut of the iPhone 16 series later this year. The iPhone 16 series is expected to launch four new smartphone models: the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max. It is also expected that the Pro version of the iPhone series will include new features like a larger screen, a special trigger, and more.
Here are four new iPhone 16 Pro camera upgrades that Apple is rumored to be rolling out, according to a new report from 9 to 5Mac.
According to the report, Apple is planning to update the camera hardware on its two new iPhone models, the 16 Pro and the 16 Pro Max.
Rumored iPhone 16 Camera Upgrades:
According to the rumors iPhone 16, The upcoming annual iPhone lineup by Apple will get these camera upgrades in 2024.
Improved ultra-wide camera
The iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max are rumored to be equipped with a 48-megapixel, ultra-wide camera. This will be a significant upgrade from the iPhone 15 Pro’s 12-megapixel Ultra-Wide camera.
The 48-megapixel camera is expected to improve performance in a variety of shooting scenarios, particularly in low-light environments. Images taken with the new Ultra-Wide camera will likely show more detail and better color accuracy. The higher resolution will also give you more options when editing or post-production.
The iPhone 16 Pro’s 48 megapixel ultra-wide camera can also improve spatial video recording significantly. This feature uses both the main and ultra-wide lenses, which could enable the 16 Pro to record spatial 4K video. The iPhone 15 Pro, on the other hand, only records spatial video in 1080p resolution.
Tetra Prism lens for iPhone 16 Pro
The iPhone 15 Pro Max comes with a new tetra prism camera design that provides 5x optical zoom as well as 25x digital zoom, which Apple plans to extend to the iPhone 16 Pro models as well as the iPhone 16 Pro. This implies that both the 16 Pro and the 16 Pro Max will offer at least the following:
5x optical zoom
25x digital zoom
The iPhone 16 Pro Max is rumored to come with a “periscope” and “ultra-long telephoto lens combination.” This technology can potentially allow for more than
Improvements in lens flare control
One of the biggest issues that most iPhone users face is glare. When taking photos in high-intensity light, you may notice some unexpected artifacts or internal reflections in your images. It’s a common issue with most cameras out there, but Apple might have a solution for you.
According to a new rumor, Apple is testing a new anti-reflection lens technology called the Atomic Layer Coating (ALD). It’s said that the ALD can be applied directly to the iPhone’s camera lens, reducing the amount of internal reflections. If this rumor is accurate, you’ll likely notice fewer unexpected artifacts and reflections in your iPhone 16 Pro photos, especially in high-intensity scenes.
New flagship sensor for improved low-light photography
It is expected that the iPhone 16 Pro will come with Sony’s new main camera sensor that is said to enhance low-light photography, according to a new report.
The report claims that Sony’s new multi-layer sensor separates photodiodes from pixel transistors, which are usually grouped together in a single layer. This separation allows photodiodes that are responsible for capturing light to be much larger while keeping the overall pixel size the same.
Sony says that this new sensor captures double the amount of light compared to existing camera sensors. Better light capture and reduced noise will give iPhone users better photos in any conditions.
It is unclear whether this new next-gen sensor will be included in both the iPhone 16 Pro models or just the 16 Pro Max, according to an insider on Chinese social platform Weibo.
