In fact, there are many new features added to the iPhone 16 series, but in the iPhone 16 Pro series, some notable improvements will come to the rear camera system as shown in the list below.
Photography capabilities on iPhone 16 Pro will reach their peak thanks to a series of upgrades
Upgraded super wide camera
In iPhone 14, Apple has greatly improved the main camera by increasing the resolution to 48 MP. With iPhone 15 Pro Max, the telephoto lens is improved with new technology allowing 5x optical zoom. But in iPhone 16 Pro, this applies to the ultra-wide camera as well.
This is probably the worst sensor among the three cameras that the iPhone has because it hasn't improved in recent years. But with the iPhone 16 Pro having an improved 48 MP ultra-wide camera, it will capture more light and significantly improve the quality of photos and videos shot with this sensor.
Periscope camera
iPhone 15 Pro Max is equipped with a periscope lens camera that provides significantly improved optical zoom, up to 5x. Due to internal space issues, this sensor cannot be included in the regular iPhone 15 Pro.
iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will be larger, allowing this camera to also be equipped on iPhone 16 Pro, allowing the phone to support 5x optical zoom like the larger model.
Improvements in the main camera
It is impossible not to mention a few improvements in the main camera, allowing it to continue to maintain 48 MP resolution. iPhone 16 Pro is said to use Sony's new sensor in the main camera with an improved design to deliver better performance in low light conditions.
The 48 MP triple camera system really helps the phone stand out
Specifically, it uses a Sony IMX903 sensor that is 12% larger than the current main sensor used by the iPhone 15 Pro. iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro have a 1/1,28-inch sensor, while the iPhone 16 Pro sensor will be 1/1,14 inch.
Anti-reflective lens
One of the most recurring complaints about the iPhone's camera will be resolved with the iPhone 16 Pro as Apple will equip a new type of lens in the iPhone 16 Pro to avoid phenomena such as glare and reflections - something seriously affects night video.
Shutter button
This can be considered a major improvement on the iPhone 16 Pro. It is expected that Apple will equip a new shutter button at the bottom of the right frame, which is pressure sensitive and used to take photos. It will simulate the photo capture button just like a professional camera, including focusing and shooting depending on what the user presses. An innovation for taking better photos and videos with iPhone.
