The upcoming iPhone 16 Pro lineup is expected to bring a haul of significant improvements to its hardware. Its rumours have been part of the discussions among tech enthusiasts.
The upcoming iPhone series is expected to feature several innovative upgrades including Ultra Wide cameras, expanded optical zoom capabilities, anti-reflective coating, and a new Main camera sensor. These enhancements will take mobile photography to the next level, making the iPhone 16 Pro a top choice for photography enthusiasts.
What's new?
iPhone 16 Pro is likely to receive four new major upgrades that will improve user's experience with its innovative enhancements.
Ultra-wide camera
Firstly, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will both get an upgraded 48MP ultra-wide camera. This will mark a significant improvement from the current 12MP ultra-wide camera in the iPhone 15 Pro. This upgrade will result in better image quality, especially in low-light environments along with improved colour details.

Expanded optical zoom
Secondly, the tetraprism camera design, that is currently exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, will be expanded to the iPhone 16 Pro that will be called “periscope ultra-long telephoto combination.” This means both models will offer at least 5x optical zoom and 25x digital zoom.
Anti-reflective coating
Thirdly, Apple is reportedly testing a new anti-reflective coating technology to minimise lens flare and internal reflections when the user is shooting in bright lighting environment. This coating technology will reduce unexpected artifacts in images, and is expected to be known as “atomic layer deposition.”
Enhanced main camera
Lastly, the iPhone 16 Pro will feature new main camera sensor from Sony, designed for better low-light performance. This sensor captures twice as much light compared to existing camera sensors, resulting in better photos with less noise.
