This will be the cameras of the iPhone 15

Like every year, the rumors and leaks of the next iPhone hit hard. This year, like many others, the protagonist of those rumors in the iPhone 15 camera moduleWell, once again, it seems that there will be a significant improvement in this aspect.

Although we don’t know many details, one thing is almost certain: the new iPhone will have a better camera. Sometimes that’s achieved thanks to software improvements, and other times, it’s because Apple changed the cameras and replaced them with new ones. For the iPhone 15, it seems that we will have a hardware revision.

Reports on Apple, reports that they will add a periscope-type camera to the iPhone 15 Pro MaxSaid rumor has been circulating for a long time and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo went so far as to detail some of its specifications. A periscope camera will allow for improved zoom compared to what we already have on the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It does this by lengthening the distance from the camera lens to the camera sensor using a periscope, just like the one on a submarine.

If the guys from Cupertino increase the distance between the lens and the sensor, they would have to make it the iPhone 15 Pro Max was a little thicker. The periscope will be used to reflect light, and as a result, the zoom will be improved.

However, the feature is expected to only be used on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, with possibly up to 6x zoom. Right now, the iPhone 14 Pro Max can only handle 3x zoom.

48-megapixel cameras for everyone, not just the pros

When Apple announced the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, one of the big improvements was the switch from a 12-megapixel main camera to a new 48-megapixel one. Now, it is believed that we would have these improvements throughout the iPhone line, so those who buy an iPhone 15 will benefit from higher resolution photos.

Apple’s current 48-megapixel solution uses pixel binning to convert a 48-megapixel image to a 12-megapixel one. that guarantees a sharper, more detailed image, especially in low-light situations. It also ensures that people don’t have to deal with photos larger than 80MB, which is the weight of a real 48-megapixel photo.

That alone would be a huge upgrade for prospective iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus buyers, possibly a bigger improvement than the supposed periscope the iPhone 15 Pro Max will carry.

A Sony sensor for the iPhone 15 cameras

Whether you have the new 48-megapixel cameras or not, sometimes you just need a better sensor to capture better quality images. It is rumored that Apple has turned to Sony to buy a new sensor that will debut in the iPhone 15 line.

The new sensor is said to be a matter of “state of the art” that “approximately replicates the saturation signal level at each pixel compared to conventional sensors”. That should lead to better photos because the sensor can guarantee a more accurate exposure in more difficult conditions, like on cloudy days, for example.

We all know that iPhones take great photos, but it is true that they suffer in low light conditions.

Sony has reportedly employed a new semiconductor architecture “which places photodiodes and transistors on separate substrate layers, allowing the sensor to add more photodiodes to the dedicated layer.”

Unfortunately, it’s not yet clear if the new sensor will be available on all four new iPhones, or if it will be retained for the premium iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models.

iPhone 15 processors

Like the 2022 iPhone 14 lineup, we think Apple will only put its newest and fastest chips in iPhones Prothat means that the A17 Bionic (assuming that’s what it will be called) will only be mounted on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

As a result, the best iPhone for photographers or photography enthusiasts will once again be the iPhone 15 Pro Max thanks to its larger screen, rumored periscope camera, and new processor.

At this time, we still don’t know what the new enhancements and features of future iPhones will be, but we sure will. there will be improvements in video and photographydriven among other things by the new processor.

We’ll also have a move to USB-C and it could be a big improvement for people who transfer their photos via a cable. With Lightning limited to USB 2.0 speeds, the move to USB-C could allow for faster transfers if Apple decides to make it happen.

However, a rumor suggests that Apple will only give faster transfer speeds to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

“The new 2H23 iPhones will ditch Lightning and switch to USB-C, but only two high-end models the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will support high-speed wired transfer, and the two standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus , they will still support USB 2.0 just like Lightning.” said analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in November 2022.

As smartphones continue to get better and better, we’re left with few features that differentiate the devices between a new generation and the old, but cameras are still one area where we can expect progress.

Will the iPhone 15 have a better camera?

Absolutely. No matter which iPhone 15 model you choose, according to current rumors, it will have a better camera than the one you are currently using.

If you are going to buy an iPhone 15 or an iPhone 15 Plus, you will have a 48 megapixel main camera with improved resolution and pixel tuning. If you’re going for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, it’s going to be that periscope zoom camera. The new processor can bring us new features and functionality, or improve existing ones.

Will the iPhone 15 have four cameras?

That seems unlikely, or at least we haven’t heard anything about it, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are expected to have two cameras and the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are expected to have three.
