The iPhone 15 series launched quite recently, and the iPhone 16 series rumors have already started. According to Majin Bu, a tipster, the iPhone 16 Ultra will get one more camera on the back (image above is a concept image).
The iPhone 16 Ultra could feature one more camera on the back
According to his source, the iPhone 16 Ultra will feature four cameras on the back, plus the LIDAR sensor, and an LED flash. The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max have three cameras, plus the LIDAR sensor, and the flash.
So, we’re getting an extra camera on the back of the ‘Ultra’ model. We’re not sure if the same will be the case with the iPhone 16 Pro or not, the tipster did not mention anything about the regular ‘Pro’ model.
That fourth camera will be a “small one”. So chances are that we’ll get a wide angle, an ultrawide angle, and a telephoto one (5x optical zoom, tetraprism lens) on both phones. We’re not sure what the fourth one will be for.
As many of you know, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the only one that includes a tetraprism lens, and offers 5x optical zoom. The iPhone 15 Pro still has a regular telephoto camera on the back, with 3x optical zoom.
Both top-end iPhone 16 models will include a telephoto camera with a tetraprism lens
Various rumors thus far claim that things will change with next year’s model. In other words, both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Ultra (or whatever its name ends up being), will include that 5x camera.
We could guess what the fourth camera is for, but it would be a wild guess, as there’s no info yet. There are a number of possibilities for it, so let’s just wait for more information on that one. The launch of the iPhone 16 series is about a year away, so things could change, this is just early info.
