iPhone 16 series to launch soon: Check expected camera configuration
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will use the same camera configuration as the model from the previous year, according to a report from Apple Insider. A 48MP primary camera with an f/1.6 aperture, a 2x optical telephoto zoom, and an ultra-wide-angle lens with a 0.5x magnification are purportedly on board. With an aperture of f/2.2 rather of f/2.4 on the iPhone 15, the ultra-wide-angle camera may see a little update. This may theoretically allow more light to reach the sensor and improve low-light shooting.
