We are fast approaching the launch of Apple’s long-awaited iPhone series, which includes the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Rumors have been circulating about the iPhone 16 series, one suggesting that the MagSafe rings are getting thinner. There is also a strong rumor that this year’s standard iPhone 16 will come with a vertical camera module.

According to speculations, the iPhone 16 Pro will include a huge camera sensor, and the composition will include a Dedicated camera hardware button. Well, we might have the reason for that huge camera sensor on the iPhone 16 Pro. According to the latest report, the iPhone 16 Pro is expected to switch from the 3x optical camera to the 5x optical camera, which was previously exclusive to the Max models.

according to a road provider report Digitimes, the periscope zoom camera of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which includes a 5x optical zoom and a 25x digital zoom, may, seemingly, reach the iPhone 16 Pro model. The report speculates that Apple is going to expand the use of periscope lenses in the iPhone 16 lineup.

Apple has apparently chosen Taiwanese lens module manufacturer Largan Precision and Genius Electronic Optical (GSEO) to be the main supplier of the periscope lens for the iPhone 16 Pro models. It should be noted that this is the same company that provided periscope lenses for the iPhone 15 Pro Max launched last year.

Although there is not much clarity, the expansion of the use of periscope lenses in the upcoming iPhone 16 models suggests that the iPhone 16 Pro is moving away from the 3x optical zoom lens to a 5x zoom lens.

This year, the iPhone 16 models are rumored to feature the slimmest bezels of any smartphone. This led to another rumor that claimed the iPhone models would offer more screen real estate.

It was recently reported that Samsung will supply its latest M14 OLED panels for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models that will offer better lifespan and performance. Apple is also quite optimistic about this year’s iPhone 16 lineup and expects sales of over 100 million units.
