iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus Rumored to Feature 48-Megapixel Camera Like Pro Models

[MacRumors]

The lower-end iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models launching later this year will be equipped with a 48-megapixel rear camera lens, according to Jeff Pu, an analyst at Hong Kong-based investment firm Haitong International Securities.

In a research note today, obtained by MacRumors, Pu said the 48-megapixel lens on these models will use a new three-stacked sensor that can capture more light for improved image quality. However, based on recent supply chain checks, Pu believes the stacked sensor is likely facing yield issues that could result in iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus production delays. The devices are still expected to launch in September as of now.

Apple first introduced a 48-megapixel camera lens on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max last year. The lens enables users to shoot 48-megapixel ProRAW photos, which retain more detail in the image file for more editing flexibility.

Pu was first to report that iPhone 15 Pro models would no longer feature solid-state buttons due to "design issues." He still expects iPhone 15 Pro models to feature a titanium frame, an upgraded A17 Bionic chip, an increased 8GB of RAM, and more, and he reiterated that all four iPhone 15 models will have a USB-C port.

Please no solid state buttons i can't use when wearing gloves

I would be SO happy to have a smaller option, even if it's just a 5.8" screen device.

That way, the lineup would consist of 3 models: 5.8", 6.2"(yes, the base iPhone is getting bigger this year) and 6.7"

So, what he is saying is that you should really get a discounted 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max.

those are not touch... like iphone 7/8 home button or mac tackpad...you just press them

I only care for the iPhone Pro models. Imagine if Apple was putting 48MP on an iPhone Mini. 🤩

im not sure how you know. But i hope you're right. So far Apple's "Solid State" has not worked with gloves.

I think it’s going to work like Touch ID Button on MacBook Pro. I just hope it’s not too fragile like the Touch Bar.

 

[Love-hate 🍏 relationship]

Oh wow , I'm surprised they are getting these so quickly

 

[ohthehorror]

Is the phone rumored to make calls as well.

 

[xxray]

Doesn't make sense given you have to shoot in ProRAW to get 48MP on iPhone 14 Pro and ProRAW isn't available on non-Pro phones. Unless they're just using the 48MP for pixel binning or iOS 17 introduces a 48MP non-ProRAW mode.

Question would be against the improved image processing and how it compares to the current iPhone 14 Pro sensors?

 

[contacos]

Im not sure if you are correct on that one.

Of course. Does your trackpad not work with gloves? Yes it does. Anyway, it’s not coming so

Should offer a 12 MP centre crop to give a 2x "zoom" mode which would be the same camera options as the former Pro models (0.5x, 1x, 2x). I find the 2x (50 mm) focal length the best for portraits (and this is the default option on the 14 Pro)

 

[boak]

What's the point of a regular model now? The previous-gen Pro is basically the same phone (actually better in some regards).

 

[UltimateSyn]

So the base iPhones will finally get 2x non-digital zoom - woo!

 

[Andres Cantu]

That will be beneficial for a device with only two cameras. The 2x zoom option enabled by the new sensor will be a good option since it will lack the telephoto lens.

 

[dannyyankou]

Not surprising, the non-pro iPhones usually adopts the same main camera lens

Forget “48-megapixel lens”. 200-megapixel lens exists.
