This month saw images of dummies for the iPhone 16, in both the base and Pro Max iterations, making their way online. While these show what the cameras on these phones will look like, there were no accompanying details for those who are looking for that sort of thing. A recent report looks to change this, with details for just about all the camera details for this year’s batch of iPhones being shared.
The list comes courtesy of AppleInsider, citing sources who claim that, to start, both the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will have a familiar 48MP f/1.6 primary camera that supports 2x zoom. This will be paired with another f/2.4 wide-angle camera that zooms out to 0.5x. Corroborating what has been shown with the dummies of the base model, the pair of cameras are stacked vertically. On the software side of things, the bitten fruit may also be introducing a JPEG-XL file format.
As for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, these will come with a 48MP f/1.78 2x main camera, 48MP wide-angle camera and a 12MP f/2.8 5x telephoto camera. These will also come with the ability to record 3K videos at 120 fps with Dolby Vision.
But probably the most important detail of them all is the capture button on all the iPhone 16 variants. First seen in renders that made the rounds back in March, this is for all intents and purposes a dedicated hardware shutter button, something that was exclusive to the Sony Xperia line of phones. It is said to do the same things too, with half-presses locking exposure and focus and a full press for the actual snap. And because it is a capacitive button, it won’t activate until you actually press it, and the capacitive nature may allow for sliding gestures as well.
For now, Apple has not officially revealed an iPhone 16 announcement event. What was thought to be it turned out to be someone’s time-killing project. But since the bitten fruit usually does its annual phone unveiling around the same time anyway, it may not be that long a wait until these details are confirmed or denied.
