Specifically, according to a post by the source "Digital Chat Station" on Weibo , the iPhone 16 Pro‌ Max will be a "top smartphone in terms of imaging". This shows that Apple will focus on upgrading the camera for its 2024 flagship.

Apple will focus on upgrading the camera of the iPhone 16 Pro Max launched later this year.

This source revealed that the main camera on the iPhone 16 Pro Max will be upgraded with a 48MP Sony IMX903 sensor with a stacked design for better performance.

The Weibo account that published the post also reiterated previous claims that the iPhone 16 Pro‌‌ Max will have a 12% larger camera sensor, measuring 1/1.14 inches. For comparison, the ‌iPhone 14‌ Pro and ‌iPhone 15 Pro models currently have sensors measuring 1/1.28 inches.

The larger sensor could improve the dynamic range and background blur of the iPhone's main ‌camera‌, as well as significantly enhance low-light photography because the larger surface area can capture more light at the same shutter speed and aperture.

The leak also suggests that the next-generation premium iPhones will feature slightly curvier displays and echo the design of last year's iPhone 15 series.

Previously, Macrumors cited a source from Korea revealing that the iPhone 16 Pro coming out this year will have a storage option of up to 2TB. The new memory will use Quad-Level Cell (QLC) technology with cheaper production costs than the TLC technology currently applied on current iPhone models.

However, QLC memory has the disadvantage of being less resilient, as well as having slower write speeds than TLC.
