Just a friendly reminder that "Anti-reflective lens coating" has been removed from Apple's own tech specs for the iPhone 16 line up.

Just noticed that as well, that's strange.

super weird, could it be somebody at the hardware team FORGOT to tell the marketing team that the AR coating didn't make production?
But on the other hand, the 15 and 16 camera modules do have significantly less reflection than before if oyu just look at the back.

It is merely a webpage oversight. The same kind of thing happened with a previous model a few years back and many people freaked out until Apple confirmed the screw up.
