According to rumors, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have not one, but two 48-megapixel cameras this year. We already know this about the iPhone 16 Pro Max cameras!
iPhone 16 Pro Max gets a better camera
Apple is presenting the iPhone 16 series this year, about which we are increasingly learning through rumors. It is already clear that the action button will come to all new iPhones and that the camera island on ‘normal’ iPhones will be overhauled. Even more is now known about the camera of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, because the phone will reportedly have an ultra-wide-angle lens that is much better.

Apple gave the camera of the iPhone 14 Pro (Max) a major update, because the standard wide-angle lens became a 48-megapixel camera. Previously this was only 12 megapixels. We saw the same camera on the iPhone 15 (Plus), meaning all iPhones have one 48 MP camera and two 12 MP cameras. This year, Apple is going one step further, because the iPhone 16 Pro Max reportedly has two cameras with 48 megapixels.
Twice 48 MP on the new iPhone
This means that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a camera that is a lot better than we currently see on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro. The ultra-wide-angle lens will also become a 48-megapixel camera, while on the current iPhones it is still 12 megapixels. This way you can take much sharper photos, especially in combination with the new lens of the iPhone 16.
This new lens is reportedly much more light sensitive, so you can take beautiful pictures even in low light. The camera of the iPhone 16 Pro Max in particular is getting a major update. It is expected that the tetraprysal lens of the iPhone 15 Pro Max will return, possibly on both the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max. It is still unclear whether you will be able to zoom in even further with the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
iPhone 16 Pro may lag behind
It is striking that rumors predict that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have two 48-megapixel cameras. It is currently unclear whether the iPhone 16 Pro will also have two 48-megapixel cameras, or whether it will have to make do with an ultra-wide-angle 12-megapixel lens. Previous rumors predicted that the differences in camera functions would disappear this year between the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

We will only know exactly which cameras the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have in a few months. The launch of the new iPhones usually takes place in the second week of September. If we look very far ahead, that means a release on Monday 9 or Tuesday 10 September 2024. Don’t want to wait that long before buying a new iPhone?
