The upcoming iPhone 16 Pro could finally fix an (in)famous Apple camera problem for good this time

IPhone 15 Pro review back handheld angled camera.

Apple's iPhone 15 Pro is the best iPhone yet in terms of the photos it can take, not to mention its ability to capture spatial videos for playback on the Apple Vision Pro headset. But it suffers from some of the same issues that iPhones have suffered from for years, including one related to that impressive camera setup. Now, a new leak suggests that there could finally be some light at the end of the tunnel.

The issue at hand is camera flare, something that cameras in general can struggle with. Lens flare and other similar light-related artifacts occur when a strong source of light, like the sun for instance, hits the camera's lens and causes strange artifacts.  It's something that not everyone hates — it can create something of an artistic look in some people's eyes — but it can also be problematic. Some iPhone videos in particular can exhibit the flare problem when capturing content at night where street lamps and similar sources of light are involved. But there is now a suggestion that the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max might have an ace up their sleeves that could do away with such lens flares once and for all.
