Get ready for a game-changing upgrade in your iPhone’s video recording capabilities. The upcoming iPhone 16 Pro models are rumored to feature the ability to shoot 4K videos at an impressive 120 frames per second (fps). This exciting news, along with other camera enhancements, is expected to be officially announced at Apple’s special event on Monday.
Imagine capturing life’s most precious moments with unparalleled clarity and smoothness. The iPhone 16 Pro’s 4K 120fps video recording is a significant step up from the iPhone 15’s 4K recording at 60 fps. This feature will be particularly beneficial for content creators and filmmakers who demand the highest quality in their videos.
But that’s not all. As The Verge reports, when connected to external storage, the iPhone 16 Pro will support ProRes 4K recording at 120 fps, offering professional-grade video quality. MacRumors says that Apple has also allegedly tested 8K video recording on the iPhone 16 Pro models. However, it remains unclear if this capability will be enabled in production devices due to limitations in the Telephoto camera’s resolution.
The iPhone 16 Pro will also feature a new dedicated camera button that you can customize to open the Camera app or a third-party app of your choice. QuickTake, a beloved feature, will be upgraded to record in 4K resolution, ensuring that your spontaneous video captures are of the highest quality.
Additional features include support for the JPEG-XL image format, according to 9to5Mac allowing for both lossy and lossless photo capture. The Camera app will finally allow you to pause and resume a singular video recording, making it easier to create seamless videos without interruptions. Wind noise reduction and new Photographic Styles with improved machine learning for skin tones will also be included, ensuring that your photos and videos look their best in any condition.
