Good news!! The only thing I want apple to add is the option to film 120fps 4K, if not I’ll not upgrade this year.

the ‌iPhone 16 Pro‌ Max will feature a 12% larger camera sensor that is 1/1.14-inches in size. The ‌iPhone 14‌ Pro and ‌iPhone 15 Pro models currently feature a 1/1.28-inch sensor.

Doesn't this mean that the 16 Pro Max is going to have a smaller camera sensor? I mean, 1.14 inches to me is smaller than 1.28 😂😂

Smartphones have hit a wall, and the camera is all there is left to improve now. It'd be more interesting to me if they'd pull a 180, and double or triple the battery size to give us a full week of battery power. Sure that would make it heavier and thicker, but I don't care if my phone is 12 ounces instead of 6 ounces.

I'm so bored of camera upgrades

Let me feel what's on the screen, or make it strong enough so I don't need a case

I've heard the iPhone 18 will have an even better camera, and possibly a faster processor too. It's a few years out so take it with a pinch of salt, but I will say my sources seem pretty confident.
I heard the iPhone 19 will have an even better camera, and possibly a faster processor... but we are not so sure about iPhone 21... there is a rumour that it will have a slower processor... but iPhone 22 will be faster again, but slower than iPhone 20.. but with 16 GB of RAM it will be like 32 GB on PC.

you heard it here first!
 
So again the giant phone having a better camera? That sucks. Give it to the smaller 16 Pro as well!
They had a report saying that Apple wanted more differentiation in there lineup. So basically that means they really want consumers to buy the top of the line cream of the crop flagship model 🚩

Excellent! As a photographer, I always look forward to improvement's in Apple's iPhone cameras.

iPhones have been my main cameras for making photographs for years.
 
I love photography and bought the 15Pro max as a my camera replacement (sold my camera) What i've found is the cameras are amazing and will be in my pocket all the time. However, for 'fun' photography i just bought the ricoh GR3. I think until the Phone becomes 'fun' to use, it won't replace other cameras, even if has better and better image quality.
What did you have before you sold it off?
 
As a part time professional photographer (shooting with 5D Mark IV and an EOS R3 by Canon), image quality comes from the lens quality. The higher my pro cameras go in terms of mp are 30.4, but the ISO range is 100-32000. The trick is to have a full-frame CMOS sensor onboard. For me the bodies run $3-6k, and each lens anywhere from $2k-10k. For phones to come as far as they have considering the incredible small size, and all we can do with them, I'm amazed each time I shoot. Like many machines/tools..it's all in the hands of the artist the wields it. Great photo by the way!
And from sensor size.

The sensor would be 26% larger, assuming it's the same shape. A 12.3% larger diagonal means the area is 1.123*1.123 times larger.

A 100-inch TV isn't 'twice as a big' as a 50-inch TV. It's four times as big.



The Weibo user also reiterated their previous claim that the ‌iPhone 16 Pro‌ Max will feature a 12% larger camera sensor that is 1/1.14-inches in size.

Prefer a thicker phone, to get rid of the idiotic camera bump.

Go ahead and give it a 48hr battery life.

It always irritated me how they improve the processor but then make the battery smaller “Same battery life!”

Stupid, just give it more battery life dammit.

Fuji X-E4 (+18/2 & 27/2.8) Great camera, but even that was to big. Iphone 15 Pro max is great, loving the x5. Missed a viewfinder and it's just not fun for street photography. (the quality is very good, so no complaints there)
