What improvements have been made to the iPhone 16's photographic Styles?

Question

How the advancements in photographic Styles on the iPhone 16 are different from its predecessors?

Answer 1

Various new professional touches have been added to Apple’s new photographic Styles on the iPhone 16 software which helps better understanding skin tones, colors, highlights and shadows. Now there is much greater range in customization which makes the version on iPhone 15 and other older iPhones look quite basic. There are also options available for users to transform their images, including mid-tones and pure black and white, which provide professional effects to photos.

5:04 - These styles/effects are in the camera menu (press the < or ^ button below the camera cut out) item that looks like 3 intersecting circles (venn diagram) for iPhone 15 and probably others. The menu you showed on the 15 was from the icon that looks like 3 stacked pieces of paper. Pretty darn confusing. The new "innovation" with the 16 is the manual tone mapping that allows you to change the shadows, tone mapping, etc pipeline processing when you use HEIF. Really disappointed in Apple in the camera processing changes in the 15 and now the 16

Those photographic styles are already available on my 8 Pro and S24 Plus and all Android phones I believe. I like the new features, but I'm keeping my 12 Pro Max and wait for the iPhone 17 to finally upgrade. Thanks!
