Yes, the iPhone 16 is expected to support Spatial Video for the Apple Vision Pro headset. Recent leaks suggest that the iPhone 16 will feature a new camera arrangement with vertically aligned wide and ultrawide lenses, similar to the configuration on the iPhone 15 Pro models. This layout is essential for capturing spatial video, as it allows for the necessary parallax effect needed for 3D video recording[1][2].
The iPhone 16 lineup is anticipated to include all models capable of recording spatial video, potentially with improved specifications that could allow for higher resolution recordings, such as 4K, especially on the Pro models. The new A18 chip in the iPhone 16 is expected to provide the processing power required for these advanced video capabilities[1][2][3].
Overall, while the iPhone 15 Pro currently supports spatial video recording at 1080p and 30fps, the iPhone 16 is poised to enhance this feature significantly, making it more accessible across the lineup and potentially improving video quality[2][5].
