Ah, the cameras! One of the major selling points of iPhones, the cameras, will get some major upgrades as well. The phone’s back camera could be a 12 megapixels quad-camera with autofocus, LED, with a 3D time of flight scanner-less light detection and ranging that make use of high-power optical pulses within nanoseconds for capturing.
We also expect to see the smartphone boast a 12MP selfie camera with a structured-light 3D scanner (depth/biometrics sensors) for high-quality selfies and images. The iPhone 16 Pro’s camera is rumoured to feature dual-tone flash, DUAL-LED, HDR(Photo/Panorama) 4K@24/30fps, 720p@960fps.
