Although the iPhone 14 series was introduced only six months ago, the anticipation for new models has already begun. Last year, Apple made significant changes with Dynamic Island and camera features, and similar improvements are expected this year as well. Not too long ago, we shared with you that the first innovation would be a periscope lens, allowing for more optical zoom. Now, it has been revealed that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will take advantage of a new 48MP Sony camera, featuring a larger sensor size than its predecessor. Here are the details…

Why the iPhone 15 Pro May Not Be ‘Pro’ Enough This Year

Although iPhone models have always managed to enchant users with their overall camera performance, they have never been the best in terms of technical specifications. The reason behind this is Apple‘s consistent preference for stable performance over innovations. The company often chooses to wait until a new technology is perfected before implementing it for users, a policy that has worked quite well so far. However, if recent rumors are true, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is breaking tradition with its innovations.

Taking a general look at what will change, we can first say that Apple is breaking a significant tradition. For a long time, Apple has divided its phones into two different series, with standard and Pro models. The phones, mostly identical in many aspects, only differed in a few areas, such as the camera and RAM. However, the company added differences in the 14 series processors as well. Now, the Pro and Pro Max models are distinguished by their camera features. At this point, those who want the best performance will need to opt for the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

As you know when it comes to camera performance, the number of megapixels is not of critical importance. Although a higher resolution is required for more detailed images, the Sony IMX903 allows for better image quality by enabling more light to enter the lens through larger sensors. This difference can be particularly noticeable in low-light environments. Considering that both the larger sensor and the periscope camera will be exclusive to the Pro Max model, we can say that this year’s standard Pro may not be professional enough. The sensors that will be used in all models of the series are as follows:

  • iPhone 15 Pro Max :IMX903，≈1”
  • iPhone 14 Pro:48MP, IMX803,1/1.28
  • iPhone 13 Pro：12MP，IMX703,1/1.63
  • iPhone 12 Pro：12MP, IMX603，1/1.78
  • iPhone 11 Pro：12MP, IMX503, 1/2.55
