The devices also support faster USB-C speeds and enhanced video encoding.
Camera Enhancements: Fusion 48MP and New Camera Control Button
A standout feature of the iPhone 16 Pro series is its upgraded camera system. The Fusion 48-megapixel main camera comes with a second-generation quad-pixel sensor, offering zero shutter lag for high-resolution ProRAW and HEIF photos.

Apple has introduced a new Camera Control button made from sapphire crystal with haptic feedback, designed for easy access to camera functions. A simple click launches the camera app, and users can take photos or record videos with intuitive press gestures. Visual Intelligence, an exclusive feature of the iPhone 16 lineup, provides contextual information about objects in the camera frame, such as restaurant details or calendar events.
Immersive Video and Audio Capture
The iPhone 16 Pro’s camera can capture 4K video at 120fps in full HDR, with flexible playback options and intelligent audio treatment to reduce wind noise.
