Key Points:
- Larger Camera Island: The iPhone 16 Pro will boast a significantly larger camera island compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 15 Pro.
- Camera Upgrades: Expect major upgrades to the main, ultrawide, and telephoto cameras, including a new 1/1.14-inch main sensor.
- Increased Device Size: The device itself will be larger, with a 6.3-inch display, up from the previous 6.1-inch.
The highly anticipated iPhone 16 series is nearing its launch, and recent leaks suggest notable enhancements for the ‘Pro’ model, especially in its camera capabilities. One of the most striking changes is the considerably larger camera island on the iPhone 16 Pro, as evidenced by newly surfaced third-party case designs.
These cases, shared online by Majin Bu, reveal a much larger cutout for the camera module compared to the iPhone 15 Pro. While these leaks should be taken cautiously, the evidence points to significant upgrades. The primary reason for this larger camera island is the introduction of a 1/1.14-inch main camera sensor, replacing the previous 1/1.28-inch sensor. Additionally, the ultrawide and telephoto cameras are expected to receive substantial improvements. The ultrawide camera may jump from a 12-megapixel unit to a 48-megapixel Sony IMX903 sensor, and the telephoto camera will adopt the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s 12-megapixel 5x ‘Tetraprism’ lens.
Alongside these camera advancements, the iPhone 16 Pro itself will see an increase in size, featuring a 6.3-inch display, up from the 6.1-inch display of its predecessor. Another exciting addition across the entire iPhone 16 lineup is the new Capture Button, enhancing user interaction.
Set for a September release, the iPhone 16 series promises to bring these and other innovations, continuing Apple’s tradition of pushing technological boundaries.
