The iPhone cameras are one of the areas that Apple allocates the most time and resources in each generation, since it is one of the main reasons why users decide to renew their devices. Macrummors has had access to a report which highlights the all iPhone camera features And yes, on paper, it looks like they’re going to perform amazingly. Let’s see it below.
iPhone 15
The standard 15-series models are expected to have a 48-megapixel sensor, which is quite a significant upgrade from the 12-megapixel camera that the iPhone 14 had. Said increase will allow for higher-resolution images with improved detail. We are facing a great leap in the camera and one of the reasons to renew your iPhone.
- main camera: 48-megapixel image sensor, ƒ/1.6 aperture
- Ultra wide angle camera: 12-megapixel image sensor, ƒ/2.4 aperture
Of course, it seems that the iPhone 15 of the entry series will not use the image sensor Sony IMX-803 of the iPhone 14 Pro, and will instead use a different Sony sensor with improved capabilities. It is seen that the improved version arrived in the most professional family of Apple.
iPhone 15 Pro
As regards the iPhone 15, the improvements will focus mainly on the telephoto and ultra-wide cameras. Regarding the main camera, the Sony IMX-803 image that was already in generation 14 stands out. However, there are rumors that the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will not have the Sony 803 sensor, but which will have the new version of SonyIMX-903.
Both the Ultra and Telephoto cameras will receive update compared to the 12 mpx cameras of the iPhone 14 Pro, which will improve image quality and obtain higher resolution in photos.
- main camera: 48 megapixels, Sony IMX-803 image sensor, ƒ/1.78 aperture
- Telephoto: 12.7 megapixels, ƒ/2.8 aperture
- Ultra wide angle camera: 13.4 megapixels, ƒ/2.2 aperture
iPhone 15 Pro Max
Finally, we have to focus on the camera features, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple’s flagship and the version where Apple is going to allocate all its resources and improvements. The English source MacRumors has confirmed that the iPhone 15 is equipped with a Completely new periscope lens system for the telephoto camera.
With the advent of this technology, it is likely that we can expect significant improvements in the zoom of this latest generation of the iPhone, such as the arrival of Zoom x 5 or Zoom x 10.
This new periscope lens is a telephoto lens where the focal distance it’s far superior, much longer than any other telephoto camera we’ve seen on the back of the iPhone. This is only possible due to a true piece of engineering art on the part of Cupertino, since this sensor is located much further from the lens and whose light arrives through the set of mirrors bounces the light from the vertical of the lens to the sensor, located much lower.
In this way, the light travels much further inside the iPhone and therefore, it allows to achieve a much wider Zoom than before. This may be one of the reasons why Apple has only incorporated this novelty in the iPhone 15 Pro Max and not in the Pro generation, mainly due to space and supply problems.
