With the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, Apple is poised to push the limits of smartphone photography. Let’s explore five significant camera improvements that might make these iPhone devices more unique than the iPhone 15 Pro.
A 48MP Ultra Wide camera upgrade is rumoured to be included in the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max. With this improvement, the sensor should be able to gather more light, producing better images in dimly lit areas. Aim for photos that are crisper and more colourful, especially in the 0.5x mode.
