iPhone 15, 15 Plus will purportedly be able to capture more light for photos

On his Medium blog, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the upcoming iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will sport rear 48-megapixel rear, camera lens with a new stacked sensor design that can capture more light.

“The wide camera CIS of the two iPhone 15 standard models will be upgraded to 48MP and adopt a new stacked CIS design,” he writes. “Due to the low yield rate, Sony has increased the CIS production capacity for Apple by 100–120% to meet Apple’s demand, resulting in a significant reduction in high-end CIS supply for Android.”

The iPhone 15 line-up will almost certainly arrive in September or October. 

Here’s a round-up of some of the rumors about the upcoming iPhone 15 models:

° They’ll feature stacked battery technology for increased energy density and longer life.

° Some models of the 2023 smartphone will be available in pink, green, a blue color that has a gray tone, as well as a deep red flav

° There will be periscope camera technology exclusive to the larger handset.

° iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models will introduce a new button press combination to power off and force restart the devices.

° They may feature a unified volume button.

°  The volume controls on the side of the iPhone 15 Pro may be a single unified rocker button. 

° Pro models may pack 8GB of RAM.

° The iPhone 15 and ‌iPhone 15‌ Pro’s USB-C port and accompanying charging cables will feature a Lightning-like authenticator chip, potentially limiting their functionality with accessories that aren’t Apple-approved.

° The iPhone 15 models will sport support for faster charging speeds when used with MFi-certifiated USB-chargers.

° iPhone 15 Pro models will have improved LiDAR scanners that offer better battery life and improved performance.

°  The standard iPhone 15 models may lack support for ProMotion and an always-on display.

° The iPhone 15 Pro models will see a price increase due to several rumored hardware upgrades.

°  The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will use a new ultra-low energy microprocessor.

° Apple’s plans for “haptic buttons” on the iPhone 15 have been scrapped. Instead, the tech giant plans to debut the feature on the 2024 iPhone 16.
