One of the first controversies about the iPhone 16 Pro camera has emerged, between claims and contradictions an authoritative voice explains what really happens
Now that the first reviews of the iPhone 16 and comparisons between models, both the normal model and the Pro model, are already coming out, the first controversy regarding its camera has already come to light. The YouTube channel Tony & Chelsea Northrup published a video in which speaks out against the iPhone 16 Pro camera, calling it “absolutely fake” Regarding the 48 MP resolution of one of its cameras indicating that it is a real resolution of “around six megapixels.” However, an authoritative voice contradicts it, indicating that there is another type of reality. which is worth explaining.
Are the 48MP on the iPhone 16 Pro fake?
In the video you can see here, Northrup says iPhone 16 Pro camera is “disappointing and misleading” claiming that in “ideal circumstances it offers around 6 real megapixels.” Also It indicates that the 2x zoom is fake indicating that the quality is not the best and it “becomes absolutely horrible.” Finally, he notes that the ultra-wide-angle lens that has been upgraded to 48MP has the “same fake 48MP treatment.”
The iPhone 16 Pro camera module is very resolute
The incredible thing about this matter is that These are meaningless statements since the YouTuber does not have the iPhone 16 Pro to prove it.. His comments are based on previous experience he had with an iPhone 15 Pro. Worse yet, He dared to compare the iPhone camera with a reflex camera.
Are the iPhone’s 48MP cameras fake as claimed? Sebastian de Withthe co-founder of Lux and one of the developers behind the Halide app, He quickly expressed his disagreement indicating that the iPhone sensor It has 48 MP but it is thanks to a color overlay technology. Each pixel individually captures a single color, so that “the output of four of the individual pixels (RGB) is combined into one.” The “actual resolution” is 12 MP but thanks to this technology called Quad Bayer gives you a better level of detail than a 12 MP lensThe 6 MP that the youtuber claims is an absolute lie.
You can’t compare an iPhone and a camera by one particular detail
According to PetaPixelwho was able to speak with Sebastiaan de With, indicates that It is not “useful to compare an iPhone to a full-frame camera”The reality is that Physics also plays an important role when taking a screenshot with either device.
You can’t beat physics when it comes to capturing light and getting a certain kind of representation. Mobile phones make up for it in the one area where they are clearly superior: computation. Computational photography has enabled situations that a full-frame camera can’t even dream of.
The fairest comparison is between sensors used in iPhones, precisely between 48 MP and 12 MP.although de With is a firm believer that Megapixels are not relevant enough as for a “reliable indicator of quality of the camera nor of the resolution.”

In conclusion, He says it is a mistake to say that the iPhone’s higher resolution is “misleading” or that “it’s doubtful on paper only.” He closes the point by pointing out that all iPhone users use their camera every day and get good results with higher resolution and greater detail. They probably don’t have the same capabilities as a full frame camera. but it is falling into a “comparison of an “Apple” with an orange or a Sony camera.”
