By WEB DESK: Speculation surrounding the upcoming iPhone 16 continues to swirl, as is customary with any unreleased Apple product. However, as with all rumors, it’s important to approach them with caution, recognising that even features in development may be subject to change or abandonment.
According to reports from MacRumors, the latest iPhone 16 rumor stems from insights shared by a user on the Naver blog, yeux1122, who claims to have insider information from the Apple supply chain. The focus of the speculation revolves around potential enhancements to the Pro cameras.
The rumored innovation involves a technology called ALD—atomic layer deposition—which could revolutionise the camera experience. ALD is a process that layers gases atop each other, removing excess to allow the layers to solidify seamlessly. This method results in surfaces with minimal roughness or defects, enabling precise component creation.

For the iPhone 16 Pro’s camera, ALD could facilitate the application of coatings that mitigate issues such as glare, halos, and light-based artifacts. Additionally, these layers may offer protective elements, safeguarding against environmental hazards like dirt and dust, while also reducing ghosting—the appearance of a faint secondary image overlapping the main image.
Although Apple’s WWDC 2024 event, scheduled for June 10, traditionally focuses on software and operating system updates rather than hardware reveals, there remains a possibility of surprises. While it’s improbable for a minor feature upgrade like camera enhancements to be showcased, enthusiasts eagerly await any unexpected announcements from the tech giant.
