- An analyst report suggests that Apple could upgrade the iPhone 16 Pro to a 48MP ultrawide.
- The report also suggests the iPhone 17 series could come with a 24MP selfie camera.
- Apple has stuck to a 12MP ultrawide and 12MP selfie camera since the iPhone 11.
The iPhone 15 series is the latest iPhone that you can buy right now. Arguably, the iPhones have had a great ultrawide and selfie camera all these years, and we don’t see a lot of complaints from users. However, it’s no secret that Apple hasn’t significantly changed or improved the camera hardware in several years. That could change with the iPhone 16 Pro for the ultrawide and iPhone 17 for the selfie camera, with the company said to be aiming for a chunky upgrade on these fronts.
iPhone 16 Pro could get a 48MP ultrawide
According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 16 Pro could jump to a 48MP 1/2.6-inch sensor with 0.7µm pixel size and 6P lens assembly for its rear ultrawide camera. A higher MP sensor (at the same pixel size) will allow for better clarity and details, with results best noticed in low-light shooting environments. Kuo notes that the output will be a 12MP image, which indicates that Apple will resort to pixel binning, which would improve the low-light shooting output.
