The chipset also supports advanced machine learning capabilities, faster USB 3 speeds, and ProRes video recording.
Camera Enhancements
The iPhone 16 Pro series features a significantly upgraded triple rear camera system. A new 48MP fusion camera with a second-generation quad-pixel sensor eliminates shutter lag in 48MP ProRAW and HEIF photos and supports 4K120 video capture.

Audio Improvements
Spatial Audio capture is a notable addition to the iPhone 16 Pro series, enabling immersive audio recording during video capture. The Audio Mix feature intelligently distinguishes background sounds from speech, while “In-frame mix” isolates the speaker’s voice, providing a studio-quality recording experience.
