The iPhone 16 Pro Max’s primary rear-facing camera is expected to retain its predecessor’s 48 megapixel count while possibly vastly improving actual performance with a new, bigger, and much better Sony sensor.
Of course, that doesn’t mean there’s no more room for progress in practically every important department, especially with the Galaxy S24 Ultra looking like a mighty contender for the same crown at first glance. Unsurprisingly, Apple is widely expected to be preparing a number of crucial improvements for the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and although we’re likely still around eight months away from the official announcement of said next-gen mobile powerhouse, one key upgrade virtually guaranteed already will come to the primary camera.All-new sensor, greater-than-ever skills
Let’s start with the bad news. If you’re the kind of user that cares about the megapixel wars, you’ll probably be disappointed to hear (once again) that Apple has no plans to go beyond the current numbers of the iPhone 15 Pro Max for the handset’s sequel.
In particular, the main shooter on the back of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is tipped (by multiple generally reliable sources) to retain its predecessor’s 48 megapixel count. But while that may sound vastly inferior to the 200MP monster headlining the S24 Ultra’s rear-facing camera system, its real-world photography and videography performance is likely to prove anything but disappointing or underwhelming.
