Apple is set to launch its iPhone 16 lineup in September, with significant camera upgrades expected. The iPhone 16 Pro models will feature periscope lenses for enhanced zoom capabilities. Apple has partnered with Large Precision and Genius Electronic Optical (GSEO) for these enhancements. Reports suggest a tetraprism 5x zoom lens for both the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, expanding the hardware gap between Pro and non-Pro models.
iPhone 17 Pro Models: Anticipated Advancements
Looking ahead, the iPhone 17 Pro series will introduce a 48MP Tetraprism lens for improved zoom, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The iPhone 17 Pro Max might include a 1/2.6-inch 48MP CIS sensor, a substantial upgrade from the previous 12MP sensor. Additionally, the iPhone 17 may feature a 48MP ultra-wide sensor, potentially making it the first iPhone with all three cameras at this high resolution.
Conclusion
While these updates generate excitement, it's best to await Apple's official announcements for confirmation of these enhancements.
