The iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a new main camera and a 48MP ultra-wide-angle lens

• Apple Explains the Cause of the Bug That Caused Deleted Photos to Reappear
• The first MacBook with a foldable screen would arrive in 2026 with an M5 processor and up to a 20-inch display
• Will the iPhone be renamed? One of the creators of the “i” prefix suggests that it should

The iPhone 16 Pro will arrive with improvements to its photographic system, such as the 5x telephoto lens on the Pro model, which is why it will grow to 6.3 inches, or a new 48 MP main lens on the Pro Max model. Recently, it has been leaked that both models will arrive with a 48-megapixel wide-angle lens.

Rumours suggest that in the future all the lenses of the Pro models will be 48 megapixels, so if this rumour turns out to be true, the iPhone 17 Pro would have the 48 MP telephoto lens as well. But that’s a year away, so let’s focus on the present, which happens to see the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max arrive with an improved ultra-wide-angle lens.

The iPhone 16 Pro will arrive with better cameras… Once again

According to Weibo user OvO Baby Sauce OvO, the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s main camera will be based on an advanced custom 48-megapixel Sony IMX903 sensor. In contrast, the iPhone 16 Pro will use the same 48-megapixel Sony IMX803 sensor found in the current iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models.

However,the upgraded ultra-wide-angle lens will make its way to both models. That means both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be able to take 0.5x better photos by capturing more light and detail. This will be especially noticeable in photographs taken in low-light conditions.

This is the second time we’ve heard information about a new 48-megapixel sensor in the iPhone 16 Pro Max, but more details about it are provided this time around. According to the new rumor, it will include advanced features such as a stacked design for better performance, a 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for high-quality image data conversion, and digital gain control (DCG) for better dynamic range and noise control.

In short:

1. The iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a new 48-megapixel Sony IMX903 main sensor.
2. Both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a 48-megapixel wide-angle lens.
3. This will allow for better photos with the 0.5x lens, with more detail and brightness.
4. Next year the transition would be completed and all lenses would be 48 megapixels.
