iPhone 16 Series: Camera Rumors
It's that time of the year again. Let's dive into the latest rumors!
Apple’s press event, “It’s Glowtime” will be held in Cupertino, California on September 9th, at Apple Headquarters. The event will air at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. BST, 3 a.m. AEST). Their website allows you to set an event reminder directly to your calendar.
As always, rumors have been circulating about the iPhone 16 release. We researched and accumulated the latest regarding the camera so you don't have to.
From Action Button to Capture Button?
With the release of the iPhone 15, we were introduced to the Action button. This feature allows you to customize the button for any function you want, most commonly to launch the camera app.
The Capture button in the upcoming iPhone 16 series is rumored to differ from the Action button. It's believed that the Capture button will offer more than just a simple camera app launch. The exterior of the button may feature controls for zooming in, zooming out, or toggling other camera functions.
This feature is excellent, and we appreciate how its primary function is designed to enhance photography and video capturing.
How Far and Wide Will the New Camera Capture?
The upcoming iPhone 16 is rumored to enhance the current camera's capabilities. It may feature an upgraded 48-megapixel Ultra Wide lens with improved low-light performance. Additionally, the iPhone 16 is expected to reach wider and farther with a super telephoto periscope camera, offering significantly increased optical zoom.
How Will the Camera Quality Improve Overall?
It's speculated that Sony is providing an IMX903 sensor for better main camera quality. Along with the sensor, it's said that Apple is testing new anti-reflective optical coating technology. This would improve the quality of iPhone photos by reducing artifacts like lens flare and ghosting.
To integrate these advanced features, its rumored that Apple plans to bring in atomic layer deposition (ALD) equipment to apply the coating.

Will the Lens Setup Change?
Allegedly, the iPhone 16 will feature a vertical camera lens setup, as opposed to the diagonal arrangement in previous models. This change is expected to accommodate Spatial Video for the Vision Pro headset.
This feature will further expand the possibilities of what the iPhone camera can achieve.
Will the iPhone 16 Model Match the iPhone 16 Pro Max's Camera Capabilities?
It's rumored that both iPhone models will now feature the new 5x optical telephoto lens. Additionally, the iPhone 16 is expected to have an upgraded ultra-wide camera with a 48MP sensor, replacing the 12MP sensor in the previous model.
Let’s talk Apple Intelligence: The Main “Glow” of the Event?
Apple announced Apple Intelligence during its June 10th event. However, on September 9th, we're hoping for a more substantial update on how Apple Intelligence will be integrated into the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
We're eager to see how this might impact the camera and whether it will be incorporated into the camera app.
Many leading tech voices believe the event title, 'It’s Glowtime,' refers to the glow effect activated on the screen when using Apple Intelligence. If that's true, we can expect some exciting and innovative features!
