Apple iPhone 16 Pro May Introduce Advanced Anti-Reflective Camera Lens
The iPhone 16 Pro is rumoured to bring major camera improvements, including a new anti-reflective coating to enhance image quality.
Apple's highly anticipated iPhone 16 lineup is attracting attention due to potential camera advancements, particularly in the Pro models. Although Apple has not confirmed details, a recent rumour suggests a major upgrade in camera lens technology: a protective layer that aims to enhance image quality by reducing lens flare and ghosting.
According to a report on the Naver blog by South Korean news aggregator yeux1122, cited by MacRumors, Apple is experimenting with an innovative anti-reflective optical coating known as Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) for the iPhone 16 Pro. This technology is said to decrease image distortions like lens flare and ghosting, producing sharper, cleaner photos and videos.
The rumour suggests the technology is being tested for a "Pro model," which may refer to the iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max, or possibly both. Details about the ALD coating are limited at the moment.
This potential development aligns with existing speculations of camera enhancements for the iPhone 16 lineup. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has previously mentioned a significant upgrade in the cameras of the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models, including 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensors—a leap from the current 12-megapixel sensors. Additionally, the Pro model might adopt the tetraprism telephoto lens currently exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Rumoured Camera Features of iPhone 16 Pro
- ALD Coating: The anti-reflective coating is expected to mitigate lens flare and ghosting, a common issue with iPhone photography. This technology may enhance control over the lens's composition and thickness, reducing unwanted light artifacts and safeguarding the lens from damage.
- 48-Megapixel Ultra-Wide Sensor: A substantial upgrade from the existing 12-megapixel sensor, this improvement promises richer and sharper details in ultra-wide-angle shots.
- Enhanced Telephoto Lens: Rumors suggest the introduction of a telephoto lens with up to 5x optical zoom, a feature presently limited to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. This would provide better capability for capturing distant subjects with higher clarity.
Aside from the hardware enhancements, iPhone 16 models might also feature significant changes in the user experience with forthcoming iOS 18 updates. These changes could include customized home screens, RCS support, and AI improvements.
As the September release of the iPhone 16 series approaches, more leaks and rumours will likely provide additional insights into potential enhancements in various aspects of the lineup, including battery life improvements and possible adjustments to the bottom bezel size on the Pro models. Regarding iOS 18, Apple is expected to introduce the new operating system at WWDC 2024 in June, showcasing updates for iPhones and other Apple devices.
