What’s New in the iPhone Camera

The next releases, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, should feature 48-megapixel sensors, a major improvement over previous models that had 12-megapixel lenses.

This update would put the basic models on an equal footing with the premium iPhones in the Pro and Pro Max line, which have already adopted this resolution since last year with the iPhone 14 Pro.

Furthermore, the leak also mentions ProRAW support as one of the expected new features for the next line of iPhones. This technology, present in the most expensive models since the iPhone 12, aims to improve the processing of captured images, facilitating subsequent editing.

A milestone in Apple phones

The possible change in lenses would represent a significant milestone for Apple phones, which have maintained the same resolution since the launch of the iPhone 6S in 2015. While the company has implemented features to maintain photo quality over the years, a improvement directly on the technical sheet.

According to speculation, the new iPhone 15 rear sensor would be built with three layers. This could help capture more light and produce sharper images, even in low-light conditions. As for the front lens, there is no information or rumors indicating changes similar to those expected for the main camera.

The leaked report also mentions that improving the cameras could put additional pressure on the Cupertino giant’s supply chain, resulting in possible delays in delivering the new models to consumers. However, it is important to remember that this concern and the alleged novelty are still just rumors, without official confirmation from the manufacturer.

“Interactive Note”

In addition to the new lenses, the most affordable models are expected to adopt the so-called “interactive notch”, known as Dynamic Island. The iPhones 15 and 15 Plus should also come with the A16 Bionic chip in their configurations, in addition to a USB-C port, following the same format as Android phones.
