A famous analyst has made a series of predictions about camera upgrades for iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 19.
The public is getting closer and closer to the launch of Apple's iPhone 16 series. Rumors about flagship models are also appearing more and more.
Notably, famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo made fans stand up and sit down when he made a convincing prediction about camera upgrades of four future iPhone generations: iPhone 16, iPhone 17, iPhone 18 and iPhone 19.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max camera will be extremely good
If you like to own a smartphone with a super high-end camera but are not a fan of large, large phones, this year's "compact" iPhone 16 Pro will be an ideal choice. That's because Apple will bring the most advanced periscope lens of the iPhone 15 Pro Max to the iPhone 16 Pro/ iPhone 16 Pro Max pair.
This texture allows light to "travel longer in the same space, providing a dramatic new focal point." Additionally, the camera can also capture stable and sharp photos at up to 5x optical zoom.
Meanwhile, next year's iPhone 17 Pro Max will have a "leap" to a 48-megapixel telephoto camera, providing "enhanced photo quality and zoom capabilities." This new camera sensor may not be integrated into the iPhone 17 Pro yet.
Previously, the iPhone 17 Pro Max was also rumored to use three different 48MP sensors, making many iFans excited.
Bigger upgrades for the iPhone 19 series
If both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max have 4 48MP cameras, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to keep the same sensors when launched in fall 2026.
On the other hand, the iPhone 19 "family" will have more "significant improvements" in the camera department. It is expected that in the fall of 2027, standard iPhone 19s will also have a telephoto camera, providing "better optical zoom".
Of course, predictions about the 2027 iPhone generation are still too far away, but this information also makes fans extremely excited and looking forward to it. Let's wait and see what interesting things Apple will introduce at the upcoming launch event of the iPhone 16 quartet.
