iPhone 16 Pro Models May Feature Stacked Camera Sensor Design Which Will Allow Users to Capture Better Photos in Low-Light Circumstances: Report
Apple will reportedly adopt a stacked rear camera sensor design across its iPhone 16 series next year, following similar moves in this year's iPhone 15 models.
San Francisco, Aug 6: Apple will reportedly adopt a stacked rear camera sensor design across its iPhone 16 series next year, following similar moves in this year's iPhone 15 models. According to Apple industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, two iPhone 16 Pro models will adopt a stacked CIS (CMOS Image Sensor) design. The camera's stacked CIS design lets it capture more light, have a wider dynamic range, and perform better in low-light circumstances.
Apple is already rumoured to adopt a stacked sensor arrangement for the 48MP wide camera on the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. Sony, which provides high-end sensors, increased production capacity by 100-120 per cent to meet Apple's demand. "Following two 2H23 iPhone 15 standard models, two 2H24 iPhone 16 Pro models will also adopt stacked-designed CIS, so Sony's high-end CIS capacity will continue to be tight in 2024, benefiting Will Semi to continue to obtain more orders for high-end CIS from Chinese smartphone brands (design-in & design-win)," Kuo said in a Medium post.

Sony's limited capacity is expected to benefit competitor Will Semi, which will receive more orders for high-end CIS from Chinese smartphone manufacturers as a result. The iPhone 16 series is expected to release sometime in the second half of 2024. As per the rumours, the iPhone 16 Pro Max's 48-megapixel wide-angle camera would have an eight-part hybrid lens with two glass components and six plastic elements, as well as enhancements to the telephoto and ultra-wide camera lenses.
