Professional photographer Tony Northrup dissects the iPhone 16 Pro & Pro Max announcement, which largely centers on improvements to the world's most popular smartphone camera. However, based on his previous experience with unchanged components (including the quad-pixel "48 megapixel" main camera and lens), he knows the new camera won't deliver upon Apple's promises.

First, the 48 megapixel resolution is absolutely fake. Tony shows that it delivers around 6 megapixels of actual detail in ideal circumstances.

Second, when you zoom in using the fake 2X zoom lens, the quality becomes absolutely horrible. Apple has given the super-wide angle 13mm lens the same fake 48 megapixel treatment, and you can expect the same lack of actual improved image quality.
