Ah, the never-ending cycle of iPhone rumours and leaks.
As we draw closer to the exciting launch of the iPhone 16 series later this year, the rumour mill is abuzz.
And one rumour that seems to be cropping up time and time again concerns the camera bump – specifically, the size of it.
Let’s take a step back.
Just a month ago, there were some murmurs going around about the iPhone 16 Pro range set to get larger camera sensors.
We’re talking a beefy 1/1.14-inch main camera sensor, up from the 1/1.28 inch shooter on the iPhone 15 Pro models.
That should, theoretically, mean brighter, better images with more captured light and detail.
Photography geeks, be sure you pay attention.
Oh, but there’s also this.
If the leaks are correct, the iPhone 16 Pro will also have the snazzy Tetraprism zoom that now is the domain of the elder of the family, the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Yes, ma’am, 5x optical zoom goodness for you to take all those up-close shots you need to make.
And rumour has it that the iPhone 16 Pro Max could even take things a step further past optical zoom.
For the Pro models, Ultra-wide cameras could get a huge bump to a 48MP sensor, up from the 12MP sensors we’ve seen in iPhones since 2019.
This also is rumoured to be a very large 1/1.14-inch Sony IMX903 sensor, which could spell some ultra-wide wizardry.

From a schematic diagram, renowned leaker Ice Universe has revealed how far the rear cameras on the iPhone 16 Pro series would protrude.
Drumrolls, please: the rise in height will make it 3.9mm longer. That’s exactly how it goes – a camera bump even more pronounced than last year’s models.
These are all of course rumours and leaks, but if they ring true, it indicates that Apple really is going all in on making sure that its upcoming Pro lineup has beefed-up camera capabilities: bigger sensors, improved zoom, and a more pronounced camera module.
As we near the inevitable iPhone 16 unveiling this September, get ready for the rumour mill to kick into overdrive.
Will the camera bump live up to the hype come spring 2022?
Only time will tell.
But one thing’s for certain: Apple has never been the company to rest on its laurels as far as pushing the boundaries of mobile photography goes.

The iPhone 16 Pro is rumoured to feature a larger 1/1.14-inch main camera sensor, an ultra-wide camera with a 48MP sensor, and the inclusion of a 5x optical zoom.
Leaks suggest that the camera bump on the iPhone 16 Pro series will protrude by an additional 3.9mm compared to previous models.
The Tetraprism zoom, currently available on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, provides 5x optical zoom, allowing for high-quality close-up shots without losing detail.
Rumors indicate that while both models may share similar upgrades, the iPhone 16 Pro Max could offer even more advanced optical zoom capabilities.
The iPhone 16 series is anticipated to be unveiled in September, following Apple’s typical product release cycle.
