Does iPhone 16 support 4800W pixels or not? Why does everyone say it supports it, but it actually doesn't?

Today, I found that the photos taken by the 5,000-pixel iphone camera are not much different from those taken by the 500-pixel Android phone. I was very puzzled, so I put them on the computer to check and found that they are 2400W pixels, which is a little better than the 1200W pixel Android, but only a little better. But the iphone official website I clearly saw said 4800W pixels. And all articles and videos say that iphone 16 supports 4800W pixels, including AI, but my iphone 16 cannot shoot 4800W pixels at all. The maximum pixel choice is 24MP pixels, and the resolution setting is also mentioned. Although It is 48MP, but it is actually used for fusion shooting, and it goes back to the fusion pixels of 24MP. Literally, it is understood like this, and the actual shooting is also 24MP. After searching for a long time on the shooting interface, I couldn't find the place to set 48MP pixels for shooting So why do all articles and videos on the whole network say that iphone 16 supports 4800W pixels, I asked AI, and AI also said > Turn on "Resolution Control", click "Default Professional Format", and change the default professional format of the iPhone camera to "HEIF up to 48MP" or "ProRAW up to 48MP" option. No matter how I scold AI, AI just insists that the iphone 16 supports 4800W pixels, but there is no place to set the "preset professional format" at all. The shot is also 4000 * 5000 in length, which looks like 24MP pixels at first glance Look at the picture: I chose both efficiency and compatibility !

Why is it so difficult to shoot 4800W pixels on iphone 16?

    I asked someone else, after turning on the resolution control, turn on the camera and adjust it to 1x, then turn on the HEIF MAX in the upper right corner, and the picture is 4800 This setting of iphone is really incomprehensible

    Didn't the resolution item be explained? 1x camera is only 48mp... Also, it is recommended that the top item choose "efficient", otherwise you can't play hdr video ah.... If you choose compatibility, the loss is too great

    I don't need HEVC for my videos... Unless I want to take them and show them to a mobile phone 5 years ago, HEVC is the first choice
