Forget iPhone 17 rumors. Let’s look ahead to 2026’s iPhone 18. Taiwanese supply chain publication DigiTimes claims that Samsung is developing a new three-layer stacked camera sensor that is targeted for the iPhone 18.
This advanced image sensor would make the iPhone 18’s camera more responsive, with other benefits including reduced noise in photos, increased dynamic range, and more, notes MacRumors.
As for the 2026 iPhones, in a Medium post, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reiterated that the main rear camera on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will offer a variable aperture. And in other rumors about the iPhone 18 models, in a Weibo post, Chinese-language user “Phone Chip Expert” said Apple’s A20 chip in iPhone 18 models will switch from the previous InFo (Integrated Fan-Out) packaging to WMCM (Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module) packaging, while memory will be upgraded to 12GB. The result should be an iPhone with more RAM and more speed while running cooler.
