All models of the iPhone 13 series would get an ultra-wide-angle camera with a different aperture. Instead of the iPhone 12’s f / 2.4 lens, it would be a camera with an f / 1.8 lens, an analyst says according to MacRumors.
The information comes from two Barclays analysts, meldt MacRumors. The information is in part consistent with earlier information from TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, but who expects only the Pro models to get the aperture-modified lens.
If the camera sensor and focal length remain the same, it means that the aperture is about a quarter larger than on current models. As a result, more light enters, which can lead to better results in less good lighting conditions. Most ultra-wide-angle cameras on smartphones have apertures between f / 2.0 and f / 2.4.
Some high-end models from other manufacturers do have considerably larger sensors. Apple uses cameras with a sensor area of 12 square millimeters, while Samsung uses a sensor with an area of almost 24 square millimeters in its Galaxy S21 models. Huawei put a 50 square millimeter camera sensor behind the ultra-wide angle lens in its P40 Pro models from last year.
Apple would also like to put the camera with 65mm telephoto lens of the iPhone 12 Pro Max on the smaller iPhone 13 Pro, says Barclays. The non-Pro models in the iPhone 13 series would still not get a camera with a telephoto lens, the analysts report.
