MagyarApple iPhone 16 Pro: Lens flare solution and new optics for better photo quality expected
For years, iPhone owners have simply had to put up with to the many dancing green dots that can be seen in videos recorded with iPhones at night, and the lens flare effect (usually seen in photos with concentrated sources of light) is significantly stronger than on other smartphones, especially compared to models such as Sony's Xperia 1 V or the Vivo X100 Pro, which use a T* coating licensed from Zeiss to minimize annoying reflections on the optics (such as lens flare). In the case of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple finally took the first measures to defuse "Flaregate" somewhat, with mixed success, as demonstrated in a comparison video (with the iPhone 14) by YouTuber Danny Winget (embedded below).
Optics with new coating aim to deliver improved photo quality
According to an entry in the South Korean Naver forum, which itself is based on information from sources in the supply chain, Apple is currently testing a new optic that will be used in the next iPhone Pro model, presumably the iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max. Apple is also hoping for a better coating of the glass surface in order to finally get the annoying lens flare problems under control and thus increase the quality of recordings.
However, it has not yet been confirmed that this new optic will make it into mass production. In the next iPhone Pro models, we are also expecting larger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch OLED displays, a new capture button, which should make the iPhone an even better camera in terms of operation, as well as new sensors and zoom options, such as a 48 MP ultra-wide-angle camera and the 5x zoom lens of the iPhone 15 Pro Max in the smaller iPhone 16 Pro. Indications of larger batteries in three of four iPhone 16 models have also recently been confirmed.
