The lower-end iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models that will be launched later this year will be equipped with a 48MP rear camera lens, according to Jeff Bo, an analyst at Hong Kong-based investment firm Haitong International Securities.
In a research note today, I got it Mac rumorsThe 48MP lens on these models will use a new triple-stack sensor that can capture more light to improve image quality, Bo said. However, based on recent supply chain checks, Pu believes that the stacked sensor is likely experiencing production issues that could lead to delays in iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus production. The devices are still expected to be launched in September as of now.
Apple first introduced a 48MP camera lens on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max last year. The lens allows users to capture 48MP ProRAW images, which retain more detail in the image file for more editing flexibility.
Pu was the first to report that the iPhone 15 Pro models no longer have solid-state buttons due to “design issues.” He still expected the iPhone 15 Pro models to feature a titanium frame, an upgraded A17 Bionic chip, more 8GB of RAM, and more, and confirmed that all four iPhone 15 models will have a USB-C port.
