Apple is reportedly set to unveil its flagship iPhone 16 series at the company's Cupertino based headquarters next month.

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.

According to the source, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus may also have capability for macro photography for the first time. In the meanwhile, fake photos and earlier claims have hinted that Apple would be switching from the diagonal camera arrangement of the iPhone 15 to a vertical pill-shaped camera cutout on the upcoming iPhone models, such as the iPhone X. According to reports, the latest modification will enable the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus to record spatial video.

When will Apple showcase its latest series?
