Apple’s iPhone 16 launch event is just days away but if you thought rumours are stopping anytime soon, you are wrong. We have spent months reading about the upcoming iPhone 16 series and what to expect. It is almost out in the open what we are getting with the new iPhones.

While plenty of new unofficial updates keep coming out every day, some fresh details about the iPhone 16 Pro camera improvements in 9to5Mac’s reports are interesting to note. Here’s everything about the recent rumours on the iPhone 16 Pro camera.

iPhone 16 Pro – New Camera Features

According to 9to5Mac reports, trusted sources have provided evidence of what’s new in the iPhone 16 Pro’s camera system. While earlier speculation about the new Pro models featuring a 48-megapixel ultra-wide sensor has been confirmed, it is now believed that the iPhone 16 Pro and the 16 Pro Max will have the same camera setups.

It means we can now confirm that the tetraprism lens capable of 5x optical zoom will now be included in the Pro models of the iPhone 16 series. This feature was previously exclusive to the Pro Max only in the current iPhone 15 lineup.

iPhone 16 Pro to Shoot 4K 120fps videos

The new update, however, is about the video shooting capabilities. For the first time, we are hearing news the iPhone 16 Pro will be able to record videos in 4K resolution at 120fps. This is a significant update compared to the iPhone 15, which was limited to 4K at 60fps.

When connected to external storage, future iPhone 16 Pro users can shoot ProRes 4K videos at 120fps. Additionally, Apple is upgrading the QuickTake feature from 1080p to 4K.

9to5Mac report also confirms seeing evidence that Apple has tested 8K video recording with the iPhone 16 Pro. Since an 8K image is roughly 35 megapixels, both the wide and ultra-wide lenses have enough resolution to handle it.

Moreover, the new A18 Pro chip seems up to the task of processing 8K footage.

However, the report doesn’t confirm whether Apple will enable 8K recording on the final devices or not. This is still uncertain mainly because the zoom lens is still limited to 4K.

There is a chance that Apple might hold off on 8K until next year’s iPhones. Rumours are already circulating that the next iPhone will feature a new zoom lens with a higher resolution, which will support 8K recording.

iPhone 16 Pro – New 48MP Ultra Wide to Enable High-Quality Macro Photos

In another report, 9to5Mac now confirms that iPhone 16 Pro’s rumoured 48MP upgraded Ultra Wide will also enable better macro photos.

There have been concerns about current iPhone macro lens performance and it appears Apple has planned to resolve all issues with the upcoming range.

In the current generation of iPhones, a flower icon appears in the Camera app whenever you move closer to a photo subject. This is basically the camera app switching from the main camera to the Ultra Wide lens to enable sharp super-close shots. While it may not be noticeable in good lighting conditions, in many cases the switch to macro mode produces a lower-quality image.

This problem will now be resolved iPhone 16 Pro with the 48MP upgraded Ultra Wide.

Camera Button Latest Updates

Rumour about iPhone 16 models featuring a new dedicated camera button is now old news. A recent 9to5Mac report, however, provides more insights into this.

While it is referred to as the “Camera Button” internally in Apple, the official or marketing name might be different.

It is a touch-sensitive button that can perform different actions depending on how you press or slide it.

We can expect the Camera Button to perform the following actions as per recent reports –

  • A simple press will launch the Camera app or a third-party camera app of your choice, thanks to an iOS 18 API that lets users replace Apple’s Camera app on the Lock Screen.
  • A soft press on the button will trigger auto-focus.
  • A firm press will take a photo or start recording a video.
  • Sliding your finger across the button’s surface will adjust zoom levels or exposure settings.

iPhone 16 Pro – Other Camera Features

Other notable updates as per recent reports are –

  • iPhone 16 Pro most likely will support the JPEG-XL format for capturing both lossy and lossless photos.
  • Will have the ability to pause and resume video recording within the Camera app
  • Improved wind noise reduction in videos
  • Several new Photographic Styles use enhanced machine learning to better preserve skin tones
  • A new mode for capturing Spatial Photos that can be viewed in 3D on the Apple Vision Pro.

The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are expected to remain similar when it comes to design. However, as per reports, the iPhones will have larger displays with a faster chip for improved performance.

Apple’s event is scheduled for Monday at 10 A.M. Pacific Time. Be sure to follow along for full coverage of all the announcements.

The Capture button will reportedly feature a physical design that presses in and out, paired with a capacitive surface on the top.

Users will be able to swipe on this capacitive surface to zoom in and out, adjust exposure, and more.

The Capture button will also reportedly support third-party camera apps.

What is the update on the upgraded main camera of the iPhone 16 pro?

The iPhone 16 Pro will reportedly use a new Main camera sensor from Sony with an upgraded design for better low-light performance.
Sony’s latest stacked sensor tech separates out the photo diodes and pixel transistors,

which are normally combined into a single layer.

This allows the photo diodes themselves – the bit which actually captures the light – to be significantly larger for the same overall pixel size.
Sony claims that this sensor captures twice as much light compared to existing camera sensors.

Capturing more light and removing more noise means better photos across the board for iPhone users.

There is no confirmation whether the next-generation Sony sensor will be used in both iPhone 16 Pro models.

A rumour on Weibo has said that only the iPhone 16 Pro Max will use this upgraded stacked camera sensor hardware.

What are the New iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max camera features on the upgraded ultra wide camera ?

According to reports, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will both get an upgraded 48MP Ultra Wide camera this year.

This will be a major upgrade from the current 12 MP Ultra Wide camera in the iPhone 15 Pro.

The iPhone 16 Pro’s 48MP Ultra Wide camera can make improvements for spatial video recording.

iPhone 16 Pro could record spatial video in 4K resolution, the iPhone 15 Pro can only record spatial video at 1080p resolution.
The upgraded Ultra Wide camera will l bring improvements to macro mode.

What are the Video upgrades expected on the iPhone 16 pro ?

According to a last-minute rumor, the iPhone 16 Pro will support recording 4K videos at 120 frames-per-second for the first time. iPhone 15 records 4K footage at 60 frames per second.
4K videos shot on the iPhone 16 Pro will be smoother and more fluid than ever before.
Apple has also reportedly tested the ability to record 8K video with the iPhone 16 Pro, but it’s unclear whether that capability will actually be available this year.

Will there be an expanded optical zoom in the iPhone 16 pro camera ?

Apple will expand the upgraded tetaprism camera to the smaller iPhone 16 Pro as well.
iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will both offer at least 5x optical zoom and 25x digital zoom.
One sketchy rumor has suggested the iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature “periscope ultra-long telephoto combination.”
This would enable optical zoom greater than 5x.

What is the Anti-reflective coating on the iPhone 16 ?

iPhone camera user is always facing a lens flare when shooting in bright lighting environments.
This problem leads to unexpected artifacts and lens flare internal reflections showing on images.

Apple reportedly has a fix in the works for the iPhone 16 Pro.

According to a rumor, Apple is testing a new “atomic layer deposition” (or ALD) lens coating technology for the iPhone 16 Pro. This anti-reflective coating could be applied to the iPhone 16 Pro’s camera lenses to minimize the effects of the internal reflections.

Highlight

  • The bezels on the iPhone 16 Pro will be around 33% smaller.
  • Apple is using new Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology.
  • The iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6.3-inch screen and the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a 6.9-inch screen.

Another day, another iPhone 16 rumour. This one, however, comes from a trusted source so we are expecting this one to be much closer to reality.

Looks like the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are set to have larger screens than previous models. Yes, rumours about this have been around for months.

The fact that we have to thank slimmer bezels for the large screen is also a known fact among tech enthusiasts. What changes now is we have a confirmation from a trusted source.

iPhone 16 Pro rumoured to feature 33% smaller display bezels Image credit -9 to 5 mac

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, as reported by 9to5Mac, the bezels on the iPhone 16 Pro will be around 33% smaller compared to the iPhone 15 Pro.

Just to refresh memories, here’s what to expect from the iPhone 16 Pro screen sizes this year:

  • iPhone 16 Pro: 6.3 inches – Increased from 6.1 inches on the iPhone 15 Pro
  • iPhone 16 Pro Max: 6.9 inches – Increased from 6.7 inches on the iPhone 15 Pro Max
Leaker Apple Hub (via NotebookCheck) has shared an image on X, showing the view of the bezels on the iPhone 15 Pro Max compared to those on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

It looks like Apple is all set to give us the thinnest bezels of any smartphone in the world.

Last year, Apple reduced the bezels on the iPhone 15 Pro series to under 2mm. This year, the iPhone 16 Pro is expected to shrink those bezels even further to around 1.3 or 1.4mm.


What we are hearing is Apple is using a new technology called Border Reduction Structure (BRS) to achieve this feat.

The technology bends the wiring and circuitry near the display’s edge downwards.

This eventually allows for thinner bezels.

There were also reports of how using this technology initially caused some production issues for the Cupertino giant.

However, it now appears Apple has overcome these challenges and we are all set to get the larger display in the iPhone 16 Pro series models.

Based on all the rumours we have been hearing, here are the full dimensions for the iPhone 16 Pro lineup in comparison with the previous iPhone 15 Pro model

Highlights

  • Xiaomi has been working on a buttonless MIX model, codenamed ‘zhuque.’
  • The brand previously tested buttonless phones including a prototype named ‘Wangshu.’
  • Images of the ‘Wangshu’ prototype leaked on CoolAPK.

It was earlier reported that Xiaomi is working on the brand’s first buttonless MIX model. Several reports claim that the brand was working on the device under the codename ‘zhuque.’

While we were waiting for more reports on that phone, contrary reports also surfaced online climbing Xiaomi actually tested a buttonless smartphone 1.5 years ago.

The phone, however, never saw the light of the day because the brand never launched it.

Now, murmurs about a buttonless Xiaomi smartphone are resurfacing as images of a prototype have been leaked. It appears the brand is finally ready to reintroduce the concept.

Before we discuss more about ‘zhuque’, let’s check out Xiaomi’s first buttonless prototype, codenamed ‘Wangshu.’

Prototype images of this device have recently surfaced on the popular Chinese forum CoolAPK.

Xiaomi Buttonless Smartphone – ‘Wangshu’ Prototype

Xiaomi’s ‘Wangshu’ was a buttonless MIX smartphone equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.

 The device also featured an under-screen camera, supported 200W fast wired charging and 50W wireless charging. It also had a 2K 120Hz LTPO display and a 4500mAh battery.

In a recent Gizmochina report, details of MIUI code have been released confirming the leaks. As per the report, it seems that the codename ‘Wangshu’ was indeed assigned to this unreleased MIX prototype.

However, despite the impressive features and good design, Xiaomi for some reason decided not to release it.

In the last few years, the company has tested multiple MIX prototypes. Although, none have been launched for end consumers yet.

Now, with ‘zhuque’ in development, there is a high chance we will have this buttonless phone concept as a product soon, provided they don’t shelve this one too!

There has been no official update about the phone, its features or its release date as of now.

FAQs

Q1. What are the key features of Xiaomi’s ‘Wangshu’?

Answer. The ‘Wangshu’ prototype is a buttonless MIX smartphone equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, an under-screen camera, and supports 200W fast charging. It also features a 2K 120Hz LTPO display and a 4500mAh battery, along with 50W wireless charging capabilities.

Q2. Why hasn’t Xiaomi released any of its buttonless phones yet?

Answer. Despite developing multiple MIX prototypes, including the ‘Wangshu,’ Xiaomi has not launched any of these models for end consumers. The reasons for not releasing these prototypes remain unclear, but recent developments suggest that Xiaomi might soon introduce a buttonless smartphone, codenamed ‘zhuque,’ to the market.

Q3. When is the Xiaomi smartphone ‘zhuque’ launching?

Answer. As per recent reports, ‘zhuque’ is in development. There has been no official update about the phone, its features or its release date as of now.

Gurman: No Apple Watch Ultra 3 Not Expected at Upcoming Event, Black Titanium Colour for Ultra 2

0

Highlight

  • No Apple Watch Ultra 3 at the upcoming event.
  • Apple will focus on updating the existing Apple Watch Ultra 2.
  • The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is expected to introduce a new Black Titanium colour.
  • A new Apple Watch SE with plastic housing is also expected, but it may be delayed.

In a surprising new update, it looks like there will be no Apple Watch Ultra 3 in the upcoming Apple event scheduled for September 9.

Trusted Apple reporter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in a late-night tweet revealed that Apple won’t be unveiling a new third-generation Apple Watch Ultra.

Instead, the Cupertino giant will focus on updating the existing Apple Watch Ultra 2.

“I don’t expect Apple to announce an Apple Watch Ultra 3 tomorrow. Instead, I expect the Ultra 2 to stick around andfinally — gain a black colour option.

I also wouldn’t rule out a delay to the new Watch SE,” Gurman mentions in a post.


Many expected to see a refreshed Ultra model as rumours around a supposed unveil have been doing rounds for some time.

Gurman also reveals that Apple is expected to introduce a new Black Titanium colour option for the Watch Ultra 2.

This aligns with speculations from last year when leaked FCC images hinted at this darker colour scheme.

Now, with Gurman’s confirmation, we can assume this colour variant to debut during the September 9 keynote.

Experts were quick to raise questions on the decision not to refresh the Apple Watch Ultra.

One prominent question arises on whether the Ultra watch will now get support for the sleep apnea monitoring feature.

This feature was expected with the Apple Watch Series 10.

Moreover, Gurman mentioned the release of the new Apple Watch SE. It will most likely feature a plastic housing instead of aluminium, which may be delayed.

The Apple Event is scheduled for September 9 starting at 10 am PT/1 pm ET. The event can be live-streamed on Apple’s website, Apple TV app, or YouTube.

FAQs

 Will there be a new Apple Watch Ultra 3?

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple will not be unveiling a new third-generation Apple Watch Ultra at the upcoming event. Instead, they will focus on updating the existing Apple Watch Ultra 2.

What new features or updates can we expect for the Apple Watch Ultra 2?

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is expected to introduce a new Black Titanium colour option. Additionally, there are questions about whether the Ultra watch will support the sleep apnea monitoring feature, which was anticipated for the Apple Watch Series 10.

What do we know about the Display Technology on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 till now ?

Apple is rumored to be getting the new low-energy OLED panel technology in new Apple Watch models to reduce the power consumption of its always-on display.

In that case it’s unlikely that Apple would use the technology in its latest Series model without also bringing it to its latest Apple Watch Ultra model.

What are the design updates we know so far on the Apple Watch Ultra 3?

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman recently said that this year’s third-generation Apple Watch Ultra will have “roughly the same look as the original.”

He has previously suggested a totally redesigned “Apple Watch X” with a thinner case and magnetic bands is coming, but this is likely to be a different model to the Ultra, and he said it would be released “in 2024 or 2025.”

An all-new 49mm casing size, matching the current Apple Watch Ultra, is expected to be introduced as the new larger option.

What are the Color’s expected on Apple Watch Ultra 3?

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that if production yields meet expectations, a new dark/black case color option could be made available.

What do we know about the watchOS11 on the upcoming Apple Watch Ultra 3?

Apple Watch Ultra 3 will run watchOS 11, the latest version of the Apple Watch operating system.

Users can expect a range of updates and improvements, such as additional Smart Stack widgets, Check In for Messages and workouts, a Vitals app to view key health metrics, a Translate app, a new Apple Pay feature called Tap to Cash, training load for workouts, additional workout types, more customizable Activity rings, and more.

Latest Update: iPhone 16 Pro to Keep $999 (INR 84,000) Price Tag

0

Highlights

  • Conflicting reports about the iPhone 16 Pro price have come out.
  • Previous reports suggested a price hike to $1,099 (approx INR 92,000) with 256GB storage.
  • Mark Gurman’s recent tweets indicate the iPhone 16 Pro will maintain its $999 price (approx INR 84,000).

There have been multiple contradictory reports on the expected price of the upcoming iPhone 16 series.

While we can’t say anything with certainty until the launch, the latest updates from one of Apple’s most trusted reporters are mostly likely true.

According to a new tweet from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the iPhone 16 Pro will maintain its $999 price (approximately INR 84,000).

This launch price was first introduced with the iPhone X back in 2017.


This new update, however, goes against another report from 9to5Mac last week indicating a price hike.

The previous report mentioned that the iPhone 16 Pro would see a price increase to $1,099 (approximately INR 92,000) with 256GB of storage as the default option.

This isn’t all too surprising since Apple made a similar change last year with the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

The company raised the base price from $1,099 to $1,199 by eliminating the 128GB storage tier.

However, it seems this won’t happen with the iPhone 16 Pro, which is expected to keep the same 128GB storage option for $999.

There have also been rumours about 2TB of storage getting introduced in new 16 Pro models for the first time this year.

If there is any truth in this, there is also a chance that Apple drops the 128GB option for Pro models.

As mentioned, the Pro Max has already abandoned the 128GB option in the last iPhone 15 series.

There are currently four storage options available and the chance of Apple introducing five seems far off.

Price is not the only thing Gurman hinted at in his latest tweet.

iPhone 16 Pro: Slimmer Bezels for a Sleek New Look

Gurman also shared that the iPhone 16 Pro will have noticeably slimmer bezels and we will also get improvements in battery life across all models.

Many experts online have welcomed the rumours about battery life improvements in the upcoming iPhone 16 series.

The battery sizes of iPhones have remained fairly constant over the past few years. The last major battery upgrade we witnessed long ago in 2021 was with the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Moreover, AI features, Capture Button and the new A18 chip are expected to be key highlights at Apple’s upcoming event.

The much-anticipated Apple event is scheduled to kick off on September 9 at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET. You can watch it live on Apple’s website, the Apple TV app, or YouTube.

Highlights

  • Three of Sony’s new smartphones were spotted in the IMEI database.
  • The IMEI database screenshot, shared by Gizmochina, only reveals the model number.
  • Technical specifications of the three phones are still under wraps.
  • There is no confirmation on release date yet.

If recent media reports are to be believed, Sony is working on three new smartphones.

Gizmochina is one of their recent reports confirmed spotting three Sony devices on their IMEI database. The reports suggest all three devices can be expected to be released in the near future. However, there has been no official confirmation from the brand or any official spokesperson.

As per the screenshots shared, the three upcoming smartphones will have model numbers – PM-1502-BV, PM-1503-BV, and PM-1504-BV.

These model numbers reveal little to no information about which lineups these new smartphones will belong to.

The brand, previously this year, has announced two smartphones – the Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 10 VI. That announcement came in the month of May.

The recently spotted smartphone discovery now follows the release of these two smartphones, making a total of 5 smartphone launches for the brand this year.

The Xperia 1 VI comes with a 6.50-inch touchscreen display and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. It comes with 12GB of RAM and runs Android 14. It is powered by a 5000mAh battery.

Google Shares Details of Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s ‘Phone First’ Redesign Philosophy

Pixel 9 Pro Fold

Highlights

  • The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is significantly thinner than its predecessor.
  • The new durable hinge and a “phone first” design approach is based on user feedback.
  • The device also features a redesigned camera bar.

It appears Google really wants you to know how much work and thought has gone into redesigning the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

The second-generation foldable is something Google genuinely seems to be proud of and the company is not shying away from sharing their pride with you.

The company shared a blog post on Google Blog yesterday detailing every thought and engineering that made Pixel 9 Pro Fold possible.

One of the major highlights of the newly launched foldable is how thinner it is.

The 9 Pro Fold is 1.5 millimetres thinner when closed and 0.7 millimetres when open compared to the first-generation Pixel Fold.

“We knew when we made the second one, it had to be thinner,” says Pixel product manager George Hwang.

What worked as a starting point for the current design tweaks and enhancement is insights into how people interacted with the original Pixel Fold.

Most first-generation users, while enjoying the new form factor and tablet-like experience, also want to use their foldable like a regular smartphone.

They want to be able to use their foldable phone close as much as open.

 Explaining this, Google’s Director of Industrial Design Claude Zellweger said, “We saw that people were often using it closed.[….] That’s what led us to say, ‘Hey, we need to make this a phone first in terms of design. Our mantra became ‘phone first.’”

The “multi-alloy steel, high-strength aluminium alloy-covered ” hinge also played a role in making the device thinner.

Compared to last year, the new hinge is more durable.

Meanwhile, Google has repeatedly asked us to pay attention to the “snap” closing sound:


 The Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s camera bar design also differs from the rest of the series.

The camera bar doesn’t span the entire width.

Instead, its design is closer to that of the Pixel Fold.

Google explains that the “double-stacked” camera bar was used to accommodate a larger battery and thinner design while maintaining Pro camera features with “customized optical modules.”

Other custom elements include a thinner haptics driver, a smaller USB-C port, and an upgraded “vapour chamber and graphite thermal spreader” for improved thermal management.
