Almost all the details of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro have leakedin advance of next month’siPhone16 launch. And that means we now know a lot about the camera upgrades you can expect in all of the incoming iPhone models, and exactly how the new Capture button will work.
Following on from yesterday’s leaks posted on the former Twitter,AppleInsiderhas been given very detailed information about the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max cameras – a level of detail that I haven’t seen before, right down to aperture sizes for different cameras.
Here’s what you need to know.
What’s new in the iPhone 16 camera and iPhone 16 Plus camera
Both the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will have twin cameras on the back: a main camera with 1x and 2x zoom, and an ultra-wide camera for 0.5x zooming out. They’ll be stacked vertically instead of diagonally this time around.
The primary camera will be the same as in the iPhone 15: 48MP with an f/1.6 aperture and 2x telephoto. But the ultrawide is getting a faster aperture of f/2.2 compared to f/2.4, which should mean better low light shooting.
AppleInsider says that for the first time, the non-Pro iPhones will be able to shoot in macro mode.
What’s new in the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max cameras
The Pro and Pro Max have three rear cameras: wide, ultrawide and telephoto. The primary sensor is still 48MP with f/1.78, but this year both the Pro and Pro Max will get the 5x telephoto lens, up from 3x in the iPhone 15 Pro. It’s 12MP and f/2.8.

The ultrawide lens is getting a boost to 48MP and will have the same pixel-binning feature as the main camera, shooting in quad-pixel mode to capture more light. It’s expected to support 48MP ProRAW photos too.
All four iPhones are getting the newCapture button. It’s in the lower right corner so should feel in the right place for a shutter button when you hold your phone in landscape mode, and it’s designed exclusively for camera apps including third party ones. It has a half-press function like in a traditional camera, and it can detect slides as well as presses – perhaps for features such as zooming in and out.
