Apple to Fix the Biggest Flow in the iPhone’s Camera

Apple is finally set to fix the biggest flaw in the iPhone’s camera

The images captured using the rear lens would be of better quality when taken against the light. Apple is reportedly about to unveil new iPhones featuring a groundbreaking anti-reflective technology for photos taken with the rear camera sensor. This news comes from new information from Apple’s Asian production lines. The exact models involved are not yet known for sure, as the manufacturer keeps its new developments under wraps and only confirms them officially at their launch with a keynote or press release. However, it is widely believed that the devices in question are the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, which are expected to be released in September.

This new anti-reflective technology should reduce the halo effects caused by lens flare or ghosting. This is great news for those who capture images against the light but regret the overly visible brightness of the sun, which deteriorates the final image quality. This improvement is not expected to be announced during the Worldwide Developer Conference. Indeed, at the event, it is rumored that the company will mainly reveal new software features to the public and journalists, as has been the case in previous years.

A hardware innovation

To achieve this, Apple would use a technique called atomic layer deposition. This would ensure superior optical quality for the equipped sensor. However, it remains unclear which lenses will benefit from this technology. On the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, Apple is expected to include three different camera sensors on the back – in addition to LiDAR. These include a twelve-megapixel telephoto lens, a forty-eight-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a wide-angle lens of the same resolution.

For comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max currently have a twelve-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens. But higher resolution allows for sharper images, notably with much less grain. When you zoom in after taking the shot, you should not notice as much blur with an iPhone 16 Pro as with an iPhone 15 Pro. With this, it’s worth noting that the optical zoom would increase from 3x on the iPhone 15 Pro to 5x on the iPhone 16 Pro, the same figure as on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

When will the new iPhones be released?

The new iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max are expected to be released in September. A few days before their presentation, Apple will likely send out an email invitation to the media to attend the announcement conference planned in California.

In the meantime, Samsung might unveil the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 over the summer. These are two folding mobiles, while Apple has not yet offered such a product in stores. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 could have the same camera sensor as its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.

Among the best mobiles for photography currently are Google’s Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. Many rankings often list them among the mobile phones capable of taking the highest quality photos on the market, alongside the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and Huawei’s P60 Pro.

The new iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max are expected to be released in September.

In summary, briefly:

  • The new iPhone 16 Pro models might arrive in September, but this is not yet official.
  • Apple plans to reduce the effects of lens flare and ghosting, which cause unsightly light halos.
  • It’s a hardware update that apparently enables this feat.
  • The camera would also upgrade to forty-eight megapixels for the wide-angle lens.
