I just learned through leaks that the iPhone camera optics are going to be F/1.9. Just .3 stops from f/2.2. That is lame!!! Why are they so slow at improving the camera? F/1.4 or something please. I seriously doubt I'll be upgrading. Samsung has f/1.7 optics and it's an awesome camera, I just don't like the android software otherwise I'd be using one.
F/1.9 is basically f/2, hardly worth investing in. I guess I'll know more in 7 days. But if true, rather disappointing for sure. It seems that the 4.7" iPhone will have f/1.9 optics and a larger sensor but the plus model will not have a larger sensor, same as I have now in my 6s plus. If the camera image quality is not up to my standards, I may just pass this time. Hopefully apple will provide some full resolution image samples we can look at.
This latest leak says that a 12MP unit will be used, with a 1/2.6? sensor, ƒ/1.9 aperture, and 1.3 µm pixels. By way of comparison the iPhone 6s has a 1/3? sensor and a ƒ/2.2 aperture. It remains to be seen what difference these changes will make on a practical level.
Dual-camera module coming to iPhone 7 Plus
Arguably more interesting is the rumored arrival of the dual=lens module on the iPhone 7 Plus. According to the leak the camera will have two 12 MP units, a 1/3″ sensor and a ƒ/1.9 aperture. There has been no word on what the pixel size will be at this stage.
