Following last year's design tweaks to the iPhone 15 Pro models, this year's iteration is expected to focus heavily on camera upgrades.
However, it's unclear whether this next-generation sensor will be exclusive to the iPhone 16 Pro Max or available in both Pro models.Leaks suggest a major camera improvement for the iPhone 16 Pro lineup, especially the ultra wide camera.
The phone may come with a 48MP ultra wide shooter – a significant upgrade from the current 12MP version in the iPhone 15 Pro.
Apple is reportedly expanding the improved tetraprism camera design, currently available only in the iPhone 15 Pro Max, to the smaller iPhone 16 Pro.

Apple is likely to launch the iPhone 16 series of smartphones in September but leaks and rumours are already swirling online. Following last year's design tweaks to the iPhone 15 Pro models, this year's iteration is expected to focus heavily on camera upgrades. This essentially means that there will be several improvements in photography and videography experiences for users.Here are the four majr upgrades that iPhone 16 Pro may come with later this year:The iPhone 16 Pro is rumoured to feature an upgraded main camera sensor from Sony, designed to enhance low-light performance. The sensor allows for more light capture that eventually ends up producing a photo with less noise and better clarity. However, it's unclear whether this next-generation sensor will be exclusive to the iPhone 16 Pro Max or available in both Pro models.Leaks suggest a major camera improvement for the iPhone 16 Pro lineup, especially the ultra wide camera. The phone may come with a 48MP ultra wide shooter – a significant upgrade from the current 12MP version in the iPhone 15 Pro. This change is likely to bring better performance in various shooting conditions, particularly low light, more detailed photos and more editing and post-processing flexibility.Smartphone cameras are becoming sophisticated. Apple is reportedly expanding the improved tetraprism camera design, currently available only in the iPhone 15 Pro Max, to the smaller iPhone 16 Pro. This advancement will allow both models to offer at least 5x optical zoom and 25x digital zoom.Furthermore, rumours suggest the possibility of the iPhone 16 Pro Max featuring a "periscope ultra-long telephoto combination," for greater optical zoom capabilities.A common issue faced by iPhone camera users is lens flare when shooting in bright lighting conditions, leading to distorted photos. Apple is reportedly testing a new anti-reflective coating technology called "atomic layer deposition" (ALD) for the iPhone 16 Pro's camera lenses to address this problem. If implemented, this coating could minimise the effects of internal reflections.
