New camera system. Go to great lengths to get the perfect shot
The versatile new iPhone 16 camera system captures beautiful photos from up close or far away. The two-in-one 48MP Fusion camera lets you take stunning super-high-resolution images, or zoom in with the 2x optical-quality Telephoto. The Ultra Wide camera shoots extreme close-up macro photos or wider, more expansive pictures. Altogether, it’s like having four lenses in your pocket.
Ultra Wide camera. Focus on the little things. And the bigger picture
The new Ultra Wide camera with autofocus takes incredibly sharp, detailed macro photos and videos. You can also frame more expansive scenes without taking a step back. And because it has a larger aperture and bigger pixels, it can capture up to 2.6x more light for higher image quality even in low light.
- Macro - For compelling close‑ups with exceptional detail
- 0.5x - Take spectacular high‑resolution photos with the 48MP Fusion camera
- 1x - Take spectacular high‑resolution photos with the 48MP Fusion camera
- 2x - Zoom in on your subject with the 2x Telephoto, enabled by the 48MP Fusion camera
Audio Mix. Make your voice heard
Powered by advanced intelligence and Spatial Audio capture, Audio Mix lets you adjust the way voices sound in your videos using three different voice options. Want to decrease background sound? Or just focus on the voices that are in frame? Simply select the mix and adjust intensity to get the sound you want after video capture
- In-Frame - Only captures the voices of the people on camera, even if people off camera are talking during the recording
- Studio - Makes voices sound like you’re recording in a professional studio equipped with sound-dampening walls. Great for vloggers or podcasters because the recording will sound like the mic is close to the subject’s mouth, even if it’s a few feet away
- Cinematic - Captures all the voices around you and consolidates them towards the front of the screen just like sound is formatted for films
Choose your Photographic Style. Change it up. Change it back.
Our latest generation of Photographic Styles gives you greater creative flexibility than ever before, so you can make every photo even more you. And you can add, change or remove a style anytime you want.
Lock in your look.
We’ve created new styles that let you dial in your exact desired look with more advanced skin‑tone rendering and set it across your photos. And thanks to the powerful A18 chip, you can see the change in a live preview before you apply it.
Align with your aesthetic.
Our improved image pipeline also enables more creative styles, which allow you to customise the different moods of a photo through colour.
Make the most of your megapixels.
Personalise every style even more with the new control pad, which makes it easy to adjust tone and colour simultaneously. You can also use the slider to adjust the intensity of specific colours instead of applying a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.

In an emergency, iPhone has your back

The new Passwords app makes it even easier to access account passwords, passkeys, Wi-Fi passwords, two-factor authentication codes and more. It stores them securely and syncs across your devices with end-to-end encryption.
