# Presenting the iPhone 16 Pro: A Community Photography Celebration
Last week, the 9to5Mac community was encouraged to present their finest images captured with the iPhone 16 Pro, and the outcome was truly remarkable. Numerous submissions came pouring in, illustrating the extraordinary capabilities of the iPhone 16 Pro’s camera system. This article features some of the exceptional photos that perfectly showcase the strength of this device.
## Examining the Camera System More Closely
Both the iPhone 16 Pro and its larger variant, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, boast the same camera systems. They include a 48MP primary rear camera, a novel 48MP ultra-wide lens, and a 12MP telephoto lens with an impressive 5x optical zoom. Moreover, the addition of the Camera Control button and the newest generation of Photographic Styles have significantly improved the photography experience on these gadgets.
The choice to categorize all submitted photos under “iPhone 16 Pro pictures” was made to streamline the showcase, as participants were not asked to indicate which model they utilized. This implies that some of the visually stunning photos featured may have been taken on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, potentially with modifications by the photographers.
For those curious about the distinctions between the camera systems of the iPhone 16 series and those of the prior generation, a comprehensive analysis is provided by 9to5Mac’s Michael Potuck.
