Apple continues to update the lens specifications of the iPhone every year, and uses the most flagship iPhone models of the year to shoot various micro movies or promotional videos.
Now there is also the latest news that Apple will solve the problem of flare on the iPhone 16 Pro lens by using a new coating technology for the lens to avoid the iPhone taking photos or videos in strong light, and the shooting picture is easy to see green dots or flare.
According to South Korean whistleblower yeux1122 from Apple's supply chain sources, Apple has additionally introduced atomic layer deposition (ALD) coating equipment and is trying to test a new lens coating for iPhone cameras, which will be applied to iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max models at the earliest.

At present, iPhone lenses are prone to flare, mainly because the external strong light will be directly refracted and diffracted into the lens, which will cause flare between the camera module and the image sensor, and the existing anti-reflective coating of the mobile phone lens may encounter uneven coating, resulting in poor anti-reflection effect.
Atomic layer deposition is also a thin film process technology, and if the news is true, Apple intends to use ALD equipment to cover the lens directly with a special coating coating, which will effectively solve and improve the lens flare of the iPhone 16 Pro.
The yeux1122 news is also considered to have a certain degree of reliability, and the latest details of Apple's supply chain have been revealed in detail in the past, which is relatively more reliable than other direct relays through uncertain channels.
