Apple’s big iPhone 16 event is just around the corner, and the rumor mill is buzzing with some exciting news. According to fresh leaks from the ever-reliable 9to5Mac, it looks like the iPhone 16 Pro will come with some seriously impressive video recording features. Imagine recording in stunning 4K at a buttery smooth 120 frames per second—sounds like a filmmaker’s dream, right?
Sources hint that the iPhone 16 Pro might also introduce a new camera trigger button—it’s rumored to let you switch from Apple’s default camera app to third-party ones with ease. So, if you’ve got a favorite camera app like Halide, you’ll be able to access it directly from the new button.
The excitement continues with the possibility of recording 4K 120fps video in ProRes quality if you’re using an external SSD. This could be a game-changer for those who want to capture professional-grade video right from their phone. And if you’re a fan of QuickTake, Apple’s improving it so that you can record in 4K instead of 1080p. Other rumored features include JPEG-XL image format support, a new ability to pause video recordings, and wind noise removal. Plus, expect enhanced machine learning image processing that’s better at capturing skin tones.
While 8K video support is a tantalizing prospect, it might be something we’ll have to wait for in future iPhones. For now, it looks like the sensors are geared up for some impressive capabilities.
As for the new Camera Button (a.k.a. the iPhone’s new side trigger), it’s reportedly going to offer slide gestures to adjust zoom or exposure. You’ll still be able to use soft and hard presses to focus and shoot. And the button will integrate with iOS 18’s API, which means you can replace the homescreen camera button with other apps you prefer.
The rumors also line up with earlier whispers that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will feature tetraprism 5x zoom lenses and upgraded 48-megapixel ultrawide cameras. Stay tuned for more details when the event kicks off!
