Which iPhone has the best camera?

With the iPhone 16 Pro (Max), you can take sharp photos with bright colors during the day and at night. Thanks to the telephoto lens, your photos are also sharp if you zoom in 5 times. You can capture details on an impressive building, for example. You can easily and quickly control the camera by pressing or swiping over the new camera button. Because you don't have to tap your screen, your photos are less blurry. The iPhone 16 Pro and the larger Pro Max have the same camera.

The iPhone 16 is missing the zoom lens. If you zoom in more than 2 times, your photos become grainy. Other than that, the cameras are basically the same as those of the iPhone 16 Pro. This means you can take sharp and bright photos with the main camera. With the wide-angle lens, you can also capture large buildings or landscapes. Or you can take close-ups of flowers or plants with the macro mode. You can easily control your camera with the useful camera button. The iPhone 16 and the larger 16 Plus have the same camera.

With the iPhone 15, you take less sharp photos when you use the zoom lens or wide-angle lens. You can zoom in up to 2 times, your photos become blurry if you zoom in more. With the main camera, you can take sharp photos full of details and colors. The iPhone 15 also has a macro mode, so you can take beautiful close-ups with the wide-angle lens. You do see less details in those photos than in photos taken with the iPhone 16. You also don't have a camera button on the iPhone 15.

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 16e are fine if you take a photo occasionally, but they're way less versatile than newer iPhone models. You take less sharp and clear photos in the dark, for example. The iPhone 14 also doesn't have the macro mode on the wide-angle lens and the iPhone 16e doesn't have a wide-angle lens at all. With the iPhone 16e, it's less easy to capture lare buildings or groups of people. Both devices also don't have the camera button.
