iPhone 16 Pro to Feature Advanced Anti-Reflective Camera Coating

Apple's upcoming iPhone 16 Pro models are set to include a new atomic layer deposition coating aimed at reducing lens flare and enhancing photo quality.

The new coating technology, known as atomic layer deposition (ALD), is designed to minimize lens flare and ghosting in photos.
ALD coating will be applied to the camera lenses of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, potentially improving image clarity.
This technology is also being tested by car manufacturers for use in cameras for lane control, indicating its broad utility and effectiveness.
Rumors suggest that Apple may introduce this feature with the iPhone 16 Pro models expected to be announced in September.
Despite the innovative approach, the ALD coating technology is not protected by patents, allowing competitors to adopt similar technologies.
