Camera Control is a picture of innovation. On the surface, a sapphire crystal with a smooth texture is surrounded by a color-matched fine stainless steel trim. Inside, a high-precision force sensor with haptic feedback emulates the feel of a DSLR camera shutter. While a new touch sensor — the first of its kind for Apple — recognizes precise interactions like clicks and slides.

Meet A18. A custom-built chip that jumps two generations ahead of the A16 Bionic chip in iPhone 15. And it powers next-level camera features like Photographic Styles and Camera Control. All with exceptional power efficiency to extend battery life.

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. And with spatial capture, you can even take photos and videos in 3D.
