Apple iPhone 16 Pro review: small camera update, big difference


This year’s big camera improvement probably isn’t what you’d expect.

That bit of extra data results in files that are about 25 percent bigger than before — around 3MB instead of 2.5MB, generally — and the vagaries of compression mean that styles only work if you shoot in HEIF, a format that continues to bedevil basically everything outside of Apple’s ecosystem. Verge supervising producer Vjeran Pavic basically fell in love with these while he was testing the video features — they reminded him of the very popular Fujifilm recipes for emulating different kinds of film. The company is already taking small steps in that direction: a feature called “Clean Up” will arrive with Apple Intelligence, which will allow you to remove objects from photos like Google’s Magic Eraser.
