Apple didn’t discuss the Apple Vision Pro much (or at all) during its September iPhone event, but the company’s latest iPhones are more Vision Pro-compatible cameras. The iPhone 16 can shoot both 3D “Spatial” photos and videos with its differently-oriented twin rear cameras.
The iPhone 15 Pro supports spatial video capture, but not photos. The iPhone 16 can do both. The camera orientation now puts both cameras on the same plane, meaning they’re evenly spaced for landscape shots. (Much like the iPhone 15 Pro, spatial photos and videos can’t be recorded vertically.)
Looking to preorder the latest Apple devices? We’re rounding up the best iPhone 16, Apple Watch Series 10 and AirPods 4 deals at launch.
At least more iPhones will work for recording 3D content, but so few people own Vision Pros that it’s still unclear how anyone else will be able to appreciate the immersive 3D photos and videos without a $3,500 spatial computer. Meta’s Quest headsets can also display Apple’s spatial videos, and hopefully will work with spatial photos, too.
