AppleInsider is reporting new details regarding the entire iPhone 16 lineup’s camera specs and capture button details.
AppleInsider:
Both the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will retain a pair of shooters on the back. There will be the primary wide camera that provides a 1X and 2X zoom, and a secondary ultra wide camera for the .5X zoom out… these cameras will now be vertically stacked instead of on a diagonal.
The primary camera will… still be 48MP with an f/1.6 aperture and optical quality 2X telephoto capabilities. The ultra wide though, will get a faster f/2.2 aperture from the f/2.4 it had before.
The two Pro-level phones… still have three cameras on the back… The primary sensor is… still 48MP with an f/1.78 aperture that can also take 2X optical-quality 12MP telephoto shots, and has 1.22 micrometer pixels.
Both models will get the 5X telephoto lens this year… with 12MP and an f/2.8 aperture.
Finally, the ultra wide lens will balloon to 48MP and will have the same pixel-binning feature as the primary camera. It will have .7 micrometer pixels when shooting at full resolution or 1.4 micrometer when used as a quad pixel…
The Capture Button should be coming to all four new iPhone models. It will be located on the lower-right corner, so when held in landscape, the camera bump will be on top and your index finger will sit atop the new button.
MacDailyNews Take: Read more about the new capacitive Capture Button (think touch to launch Camera app, half-press to focus / set exposure, full press to snap the photo, and possible sliding along the button to zoom in and out) in the full article here.
