The iPhone 15 Pro Max retained the same 48MP primary sensor as the iPhone 14 Pro Max but compensated significantly by introducing a unique 5x tetraprism camera.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max is said to raise the optics bar yet again. While a source says Apple will keep the primary unit's 48-megapixel count, it will use a completely new Sony sensor, among other changes.
iPhone 16 Pro Max's Main Camera Will Maintain 48MP Resolution
Details of Sony's IMX903 appeared last year, but Apple is not one to rush to the latest technologies for its devices, and the corporation takes its time embracing the most recent standards. It did not use the IMX903 for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, despite critics and reviewers praising the flagship's camera capabilities.
However, software upgrades can only go so far in improving image quality, which is why tipster Digital Chat Station claims on Weibo that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will include the upgraded sensor. The physical sensor size is slightly larger than the IMX803, at 1/1.14 inches, and it enables technologies such as double-layer transistors.
iPhone 16 Pro Max Set to Feature Advanced Periscope Lens, New Sensor Upgrades
The informant also mentions that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a periscope telephoto lens, which was previously rumored, but Apple is reported to have different intentions for this year. Instead of having one 'Pro' model with a tetraprism zoom camera, the company is expanding the upgrade to both versions, providing buyers more choices, as per WCCFTech.
Interestingly, the tipster has only said that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will receive the IMX903 sensor and has not mentioned anything about the smaller iPhone 16 Pro. We can hypothesize that Apple may try to save money on components by employing the previous-generation IMX803 in the iPhone 16 Pro, but it is too early to say. For the time being, we urge that our readers take this rumor with a grain of salt, and we will provide more information.
