5 iPhone Models with the Best Camera

Apple smartphones are known for their cameras — even the basic versions are capable of taking high-quality, detailed photos. And if you want to capture important moments, shoot content, or preserve aesthetics for posterity, the iPhone is an ideal choice. In this article, we’ll take a look at which iPhone has the best camera and what to consider when choosing a smartphone.

iPhone 16 Pro — Stunning Content Without the Effort

The iPhone 16 Pro features enhancements to both its lens system and the underlying image processing technology. Incidentally, The Weeknd shot the video for their song Dancing in the Flame on this very phone. Here’s a quick look at the camera system on the iPhone 16 Pro:

• 5x optical zoom for shooting at any distance;
• optical stabilization and anti-glare coating for photos in motion;
• 4K Dolby Vision format at 120 fps for video recording;
• LiDAR scanner to improve photos taken in low light;
• Action mode for shooting video in motion without unnecessary vibrations and shaking.

With the new camera controller (Action Button), you can control its settings: style, exposure, and zoom. Interestingly, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max shares identical camera features with the 16 Pro, it stands out with a 0.6-inch larger screen and enhanced power capacity.

iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus — Memories in 3D

The basic iPhone 16 has two cameras on the back and one on the front. And they have some interesting features:

• macro photography — taking pictures of nature, patterns, and details becomes more interesting;
• spatial content — you can create three-dimensional images that come to life in Apple Vision Pro;
• a new set of styles — it’s easy to adjust photo settings and add effects.

The iPhone 16 camera can also be adjusted using an additional control button. And thanks to new AI features, editing photos has become easier. You can, for instance, erase distracting elements from your shot. If you like these features but would prefer a larger phone, the iPhone 16 Plus with its larger display is an excellent option.

iPhone 16e

Visually, the iPhone 16e differs from the rest of the series in that it has only one camera. More precisely, it is a two-in-one camera system — Fusion with 48 MP. Smartphone options:

• portrait photos with depth control;
• 2x optical zoom for distant objects;
• optical image stabilization for clear photos.

Capture stunning 4K footage at a smooth 60 frames per second. Dolby Vision, autofocus, and stabilization are also available.

iPhone 15/iPhone 15 Plus — Live Shots and an Intuitive Interface

The iPhone 15 model is suitable for high-quality photos at any time of the day. Key features:

• 48 MP resolution for clear photos;
• 2x zoom for distant objects without loss of quality;
• portrait mode with human and animal recognition;
• night mode with the ability to recognize objects in low light.

Thanks to Photonic Engine algorithms, colors are rendered realistically without additional light sources, and the focus can be changed on the finished photo. The iPhone 15 Plus model has similar features but with a larger diagonal screen.

iPhone 13 — Good Quality at a Reasonable Price

The rear of the iPhone 13 features a module with two 12 MP cameras: a main camera and an ultra-wide-angle camera. Its features include:

• optical stabilization for clear images;
• Deep Fusion photo enhancement technology;
• 5x and 1x optical zoom for different effects.

In daylight, the phone produces detailed content. In low-light conditions, the photos are of fairly good quality, although rectangular pixels may appear at maximum zoom.
