iPhone 16 Series

There are reports that the iPhone 16 Series will come with several improvements in terms of camera, display, battery and even design.

The standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models will reportedly retain the dual-camera setup found in their predecessors.
However, the cameras will now be vertically aligned on the rear panel.

Both models will feature the same 48 MP primary sensor as seen in the iPhone 15 series, but the ultrawide lens will benefit from a faster f/2.2 aperture compared to the f/2.4 aperture in last year's models.

This upgrade aims to enhance low-light performance, and for the first time, the non-Pro versions will support macro photography, reported GSM Arena.

The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are set to offer more significant changes. Both Pro models will include a 5x telephoto camera--a feature that was previously exclusive to the larger Pro Max model.

This telephoto lens will use a 12 MP sensor with an f/2.8 aperture. The main camera on these Pro models will remain unchanged from last year, but the ultrawide lens will receive a notable upgrade.

It will now feature a 48 MP sensor with .7 micrometre pixels that, when used in binning mode, will produce an effective pixel size of 1.4 micrometres. This upgrade will also enable 48 MP ProRaw photo capabilities.
