The iPhone 16 They will be official next September, that is nothing new, because except in times of pandemic, this has been the date chosen for Apple’s big annual Keynote. But for months we have been learning details about Californians’ new phones. And now we have learned more information about the cameras of the Pro models, which after all are the ones that tend to innovate in this section year after year. In this case we are talking about the new generation of cameras that will not come with specific changes, but with new sensors that should completely change the experience.
This will be the camera of the new iPhone 16 Pro Max
The information we know now comes from Weibo, the Chinese social network where the latest details of different devices usually appear, which, although they are not Chinese, are manufactured directly in that country. And it seems that there are going to be differences between the Pro models themselves. So much so, that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max They would have different cameras.
The latter will obviously be the one with the most new features. And this new model is going to have a totally new main sensor, which will give a jump in resolution to 48 megapixels, specifically the new Sony IMX903 sensor. This has a larger size, 1/1.14, which means that it will be able to capture more light, and this translates into more detail and less blurry images in all cases.
Now, the ultra-wide-angle sensor is going to improve in both models, both the Pro and the Pro Max. This will now be a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor as well, so its quality and resolution will greatly improve compared to the current sensor. As for the telephoto sensor, there will be no changes, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the standard Pro will have a sensor with a 5x zoom which we currently find in the Pro models.
So everything indicates that the iPhone camera is going to be better than ever, and that this year it will release enough new features to consider it a new evolution and generation compared to the previous model. This is usually one of the most important aspects when assessing whether a phone is sufficiently innovative or worth considering for purchase.
The iPhone camera has not received many improvements in recent years, but it seems that Apple is finally giving it the importance it deserves. Although We still miss a model that can stand up to the Xiaomi 14 Ultra or the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultramobile phones with much larger sensors that in some cases reach a size of one inch, which makes them unattainable even for the new iPhone 16. But little by little it seems that things are going to change.
