We’re getting closer to having the next iPhone 16 Pro in our hands. In less than five months we will have it with us, and there are only three left before manufacturing begins. In This article we will review the new functions which will reach the cameras of the iPhone 16 Pro.
This year, everything indicates that there will be no difference between the cameras of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Unlike this year’s model, whose iPhone 15 Pro Max has an exclusive zoom, The iPhone 16 Pro and its Max model would have the same characteristics and functions.
Changes to the iPhone 16 Pro’s ultra-wide-angle camera
The first ultra-wide-angle camera arrived with the iPhone 11. Then, rreceived a big update with the iPhone 13 Pro. With this model it became brighter and also introduced macro photography to the iPhone. Since then, on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro, the features are the same.
So the iPhone 16 Pro has some unfinished business with this camera, and yes, they are going to completely redesign it. The iPhone 16 Pro’s ultra-wide-angle camera will be 48 megapixelsa leap in quality and resolution that will quadruple the current megapixels.
These improvements to the iPhone 16 Pro’s ultra-wide-angle camera tthere will be four functions and main characteristics:
- Photos up to 48 megapixels in RAW
- Greater brightness in photos by grouping pixels
- A macro mode with more definition
- 4K spatial video recordings
And, with the arrival of Apple Vision Pro, the iPhone 15 Pro can record spatial or 3D videos at up to 1080p resolution. Something insufficient for viewing in such a large environment like the Apple Vision Pro when you put them on.
By having the same resolution of 48 megapixels in the main camera (x1) and in the ultra wide angle (x0.5), the Spatial video recording will likely go up to 4K. A more than good resolution for viewing our memories in three dimensions.
The x5 zoom camera arrives on the smallest model with the iPhone 16 Pro
The iPhone 15 Pro Max launched a new x5 zoom system on your telephoto lens. To achieve this, Apple used the periscope camera method, or as it is called, the tetraprism. As an iPhone 15 Pro Max user, I can attest that it’s a great camera and with unique stabilization.
With the iPhone 16 Pro this camera will come to the smallest model and will match the Pro and Pro Max models in condition. For what Whichever one you choose, you will have a 5x optical zoom and 25x digital zoom. Furthermore, no additional developments are expected regarding the telephoto lens of the iPhone 16 Pro since it was renewed with the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The 5x zoom of the iPhone 16 Pro will be equivalent to 120mm
Main camera twice as bright on iPhone 16 Pro
The x1 main camera of the iPhone 16 Pro can include the new generation of Sony IMX903 sensors. These sensors separate photodiodes and transistors from pixels, which are usually combined into a single layer. In this way Sony claims they collect up to twice as much light as traditional sensors. This rumor is the one that currently raises the most doubts, since a rumor on Weibo said that only the iPhone 16 Pro Max would use this new sensor.
Anti-reflective treatment to avoid the well-known bright spots
Surely one day You found some points of light in your photographss. They are especially visible at night, since light from street lights or the moon itself reflects off the iPhone’s lenses. Currently, this is one of the aspects that frustrates users the most, as well as the cameras of the iPhone 16 Pro.
The iPhone 16 Pro would avoid light reflections
Apple would be testing new lens coating technology with atomic layer deposition or ALD. This method is a technique based on a chemical process in the gas phase. It would therefore be integrated at the anatomical level into the lenses of the iPhone 16 Pro cameras.
These are the four main new features based on the iPhone 16 Pro’s camera hardware. software news expected based on artificial intelligence that Apple is developing and will integrate a good part of it into iOS 18.
