WWDC26: Implement high resolution photo capture | Apple
Apple details how to implement high-resolution photo capture (24MP/48MP) in iOS camera apps
“Setting maxPhotoDimensions is a request, not a guarantee. The system looks at light level, scene, and available processing, and picks the best path it can.”
An Apple WWDC26 developer session walks engineers through configuring AVCapture APIs for 24MP and 48MP high-resolution photo capture, including Photonic Engine processing, ProRAW, and resource preallocation for responsiveness. It is a device-API tutorial on computational photography tradeoffs with no meaningful AI industry signal.
