iPhone 15 and 15 Plus could finally use 48-megapixel cameras

Last year, Apple updated the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max with an all-new 48 MP camera sensor, but kept the 12 MP sensor on the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. According to analyst Jeff Pu’s speculation, its successors, the next iPhone 15 and 15 Plus arriving at the end of the year, will finally have to take advantage of new cameras reserved for the Pro models.

But we already know that these won’t be the same photo sensors as the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro, which will use larger cameras. Moreover, the iPhone 15 Pro can use a better main sensor than the iPhone 15 Pro Max for the first time. The latter already takes advantage of a periscopic sensor that takes up a lot of space inside and That’s why Apple would choose different main cameras for the event.

iPhone 15 and 15 Plus may arrive a little late

However, some reports show thata possible delay could be due to an issue with the manufacture of camera components., specifically the clustered CIS (CMOS image sensor) for the 48-megapixel camera on the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. Analyst Jeff Pu said:would continue to monitor risks associated with the production scheduleand said it expects the smartphones to launch alongside the 15 Pro and Pro Max in September. It remains to be seen whether they will launch on the exact same date or whether the more affordable models will remain on pre-order for another week or two.

While the camera upgrade is great news for consumers, it’s not yet clear what the difference in image quality will be. The 48-megapixel sensor is a significant step up from the 12-megapixel sensors used in previous iPhone models, but Megapixels alone do not determine image quality. Sometimes in certain scenarios, the iPhone 14 Pro offered less attractive footage than its predecessor, the iPhone 13 Pro.
