iPhones always pack some of the best camera technology around, allowing them to take the sorts of images you’d normally expect to see from full-sized mirrorless cameras. Rumors have been circulating for months about what photography features we may see on the iPhone 16 range, but there are a few that particularly stand out.
One is the heavily rumored addition of a new dedicated camera button on the outside edge of the phone. This button would be especially geared toward photography, with multiple pressure levels allowing for a half press for focus, as you would on regular cameras. Some rumors also suggest it will recognise swipes, potentially allowing for you to swipe on the button to quickly zoom in or change other settings.
Beyond the new button, early tipsters have suggested the Pro models will get bigger camera sensors for the main camera. I’m keen to see this as larger image sensors allow for better dynamic range and overall better image quality. It’s why the Xiaomi 14 Ultra with its huge 1-inch type image sensor is able to take stunning photos.
While numerous other camera rumors are flying around, one of the more pervasive is that the 5x optical zoom will be available on both the standard Pro and Pro Max model. Right now if you want the long zoom (which, as a photographer, I do) it means opting for the larger, more expensive phone. If this is true, you’ll be able to go for the smaller more pocket-friendly iPhone 16 Pro without having to sacrifice camera performance.
