According to reports, the Apple iPhone 16 models will have a large camera along with improved technology, a larger display, and an improved overall design.


The new Apple iPhone 16 models feature a vertical array, suggesting a possible emphasis on spatial video capture. According to Macrumors, this may also contribute to a revolution in the way viewers interact with their environment in videos.

Innovation in smartphone photography and videography is in line with Apple's ongoing efforts to push the boundaries.


An upgraded 48-megapixel Ultra Wide lens is expected to be included in the iPhone 16 Pro versions, enabling better photos in low light.


The new iPhone 16 camera will most likely work similarly to the 48-megapixel Wide camera by using pixel binning to merge the data from four pixels into one "super pixel" for enhanced image quality.

The 48-megapixel wide-angle camera on the iPhone 16 Pro Max will also include an eight-part hybrid lens with two glass parts and six plastic elements. Enhancements to the telephoto and ultra wide camera lenses will also be part of this.


In 2024, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max may both receive 5x Telephoto lenses, rather than just the bigger Pro Max.

It's interesting to note that a super telephoto periscope camera may possibly be included in the iPhone 16 Pro Max. This will enable the new camera to have a far larger optical zoom option. Though this alternative isn't supported by any reliable source, a Weibo account attests to it.


The terms "super" or "ultra" telephoto are typically used to characterise cameras with focal lengths greater than 300mm. Furthermore, if the existing telephoto lens precisely matches a 77mm lens, there may be a noticeable boost in zoom capabilities.
