Apple launched the iPhone 15 Pro Max last year, which for the first time adopted a quadruple reflective prism design and had 5x optical zoom shooting performance. This year will usher in the successors of the new generation iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, which focus on high-end flagship positioning. In addition to maintaining the three-lens configuration on the back of the phone, what upgrades and improvements will it bring in terms of camera shooting functions?
In this regard, foreign media 9to5Mac compiled relevant rumors and listed the highlights of the four major camera functions of the iPhone 16 Pro series. It is reported that the main focused upgrades include: main camera lens, ultra-wide-angle lens, lens anti-reflective coating and optical zoom capability.
First of all, in the main camera lens part, the iPhone 16 Pro series is expected to maintain the same 48 million pixels as the previous generation. In order to enhance the optical performance of the camera, it is reported that the focus of the upgrade is to install Sony’s new stacked design sensor, especially In a low-light shooting environment, it will help to further increase the amount of light entering, and at the same time, it can suppress more noise that interferes with the image, thereby making the image appear more detailed, bright and clear. As for Sony’s new stacked sensor used in the main camera, it may be a specification advantage exclusive to the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Second, the ultra-wide-angle lenses of the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are expected to be upgraded to 48 million pixels in one fell swoop, which will break the convention of previous Pro series models being equipped with 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lenses. Through the 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, in addition to capturing higher-resolution image quality, it can also capture more image details and color performance.
In addition, the combination of the main lens and the ultra-wide-angle lens are both 48 million pixels, which will help the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max to record “spatial videos” with 4K ultra-high image resolution (recorded by the previous generation iPhone 15 Pro The resolution of “space video” is 1080P).
Third, in order to reduce the glare in images, it was reported that Apple is testing a new camera lens coating using “Atomic Layer Deposition” (ALD) technology, which will be the first to be applied to two models of the iPhone 16 Pro series. On this model, the anti-reflective coating on the lens prevents glare caused by strong light and helps improve image quality.
Fourth, unlike the previous generation iPhone 15 Pro, which has three times optical zoom, only iPhone 15 Pro Max has five times optical zoom. It is said that both models of this year’s iPhone 16 Pro series will use the “quadruple reflective lens” design. , and all have the shooting capability of 5x optical zoom.
