New camera button for iPhone 16 Pro Max: image quality changes

On May 23, Kuaiji Technology reported that on the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple will replace the mute switch entity button that has existed since the early generation of iPhone with the multi-function button "Action Button".

After being changed to Action Button, Apple has given it many customized functions, such as playing unique charging sound effects when charging, downloading instagram images with one click, and so on.

In the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro series, Apple will also add an independent photo button on this basis.

Although the Action Button of the iPhone 15 Pro series can also act as the camera shutter, there are more ways to play this independent photo button of the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Like the traditional shutter button, it triggers the auto focus function half time and the photographing function all time, but the Action Button of iPhone 15 Pro cannot do this.

The addition of an independent photo button means that Apple will strengthen the imaging capabilities of the iPhone.

It is reported that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will be equipped with the new Sony Sensor IMX903 customized by Apple, which has a 1/1.14 inch super bottom and is very close to the Android 1-inch main camera.

Moreover, Sony IMX903 uses a double-layer transistor design to separate the photodiode from the pixel transistor. In this way, the same bottom, the double-layer transistor technology can bring better photoelectric performance.

In addition, the IMX903 also supports 14bit ADC (analog digital converter), DCG (pixel level double gain), etc. Apple has also equipped it with OIS optical anti shake, further enhancing its light sensitivity.

There is no doubt that this will be the flagship model with the strongest image in Apple's history.
