Apple probably won’t add a 200-megapixel telephoto camera to the iPhone before 2028, even thought the company has already tested such a sensor in prototypes, according to the leaker Digital Chat Station — as noted by MacRumors.
This year’s iPhone 18 Pro is expected to feature a 48-megapixel main camera with a variable aperture, alongside a 48-megapixel telephoto camera featuring a longer focal length and a larger aperture. Speaking of next year’s smartphones, when Apple introduces a new iPhone line-up in 2027, it will be dubbed the iPhone 20 rather than the iPhone 19, according to Omdia.
Per ETNews, at a conference held at El Tower in Seocho-gu, Seoul on October 22, Omdia Chief Researcher Heo Moo-yeol said, “”Apple will launch iPhone 18e and iPhone 20 in the first half of 2027, and iPhone 20 Air, Pro, Pro Max and iPhone Fold 2 will be released in the second half of 2027.”
He didn’t say why Apple would go against the traditional name change, but it’s almost certainly due to the fact that 2027 will be the 20th anniversary of the iPhone.
