Apple's launch event scheduled to be held at 2:00 on September 10, 2024 Japan time. 9to5Mac reported that one of the shortcomings of the iPhone camera may finally be improved in the high-end models of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Macro photography is possible on Pro models such as the iPhone 13 Pro and later models released in 2021. When taking a photo with Apple's native camera app, if you get close to the subject, a flower icon (macro icon) will appear in the bottom right of the screen as shown below. When you tap this macro icon, the camera will switch to the ultra-wide-angle camera, allowing you to take macro photos.



However, at the time of writing, the iPhone has a problem in that the image quality of the ultra-wide-angle camera is lower than that of the main camera. For example, in the case of the latest model at the time of writing, the iPhone 15 Pro, the main camera is 48 megapixels, while the ultra-wide-angle camera is only 12 megapixels. Therefore, when taking macro photos, the image quality of the photo is reduced.

Therefore, some users who do not want to reduce the image quality have become accustomed to taking photos with the main camera without switching to macro shooting mode while getting close to the subject. However, the image quality of the ultra-wide-angle camera in the iPhone 16 Pro series is expected to be upgraded to 48 megapixels. If this is realized, macro shooting will be possible without reducing image quality, so 9to5Mac reported that 'I can't wait for the upgrade of the ultra-wide-angle camera.'

The event where Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 16 series is scheduled to take place on September 10, 2024 at 2:00 p.m.
