The arrival of the iPhone 16 Pro is still many months away (and his family companions, of course), but hey, we’re talking about Apple, so as usual, rumors and leaks have been very active for quite some time. In fact, these things work with such anticipation that in less than a week it will be a year since we posted the first iPhone 16 Pro leak. Yes, when the iPhone 14 generation was just over a quarter of sales, we were already talking about the generation coming out in September 2024.

For several generations, Apple has been creating more “distance” between the standard and pro models of each generation, and also, although to a lesser extent, between the Pro and Pro Max, and although I completely understand the former (standard vs pro), , mIt costs a little more if we talk about those that exist among professional models. The only significant difference between the two, in my opinion, should be their screen size and just to compensate, a larger and therefore higher battery capacity. However, as we said, when it came to its presentation, Apple made an important difference in the photographic part of the Pro and Pro Max, which can be seen in the very complete review of the iPhone 15 Pro made by our colleague Javier.

As you can read in the above review, one of the crown jewels of the photography section of the 15 Pro Max, its 5x telephoto lens (135mm equivalent) designed in a tetraprismwhich thus makes it possible to ensure this long range without sacrificing luminosity, surprising and very enviable F/2.8. An element that is not present in the iPhone 15 Pro, unfortunately for those who would like to enjoy such a powerful camera but prefer the 6.1-inch format.

However, Apple seems to have realized that it went too far in differentiating the two models. So, as we can read on Mashable, it is reported by the popular and reliable leaker Ming-Chi Kuo The iPhone 16 Pro will have a 5x telephoto lens, which was not present in the 15 Pro. This way, the main difference between the two devices disappears and provides a much more complete photography experience on the 16 Pro.

But this is not the only change in the photography section, because Kuo tells us another very interesting news, namely The ultra-wide angle of the iPhone 16 Pro will have a resolution multiplied by fourfrom 12 megapixels on the 15 Pro to 48 megapixels in the next generation. In this case, the 15 and 15 Pro share a 12MP camera, so even if it’s not explicitly stated, we can understand that the change will affect both models.
