The highly anticipated iPhone 15 series is set to take smartphone photography to new heights with its cutting-edge camera technology. According to recent rumors, all models in the lineup, including the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, will feature an impressive 48-megapixel camera, promising superior image quality for everyday users.
Non-Pro iPhone 15 models will have a slightly smaller sensor
The standard models are expected to sport an advanced 1/1.5-inch stacked CMOS image sensor (CIS), designed to capture more light and deliver enhanced color representation in low-light conditions. This improvement will undoubtedly lead to better photography results even in challenging lighting scenarios.
An exciting addition to the non-Pro models is the 2X mode, which aims to enhance portrait photography by simulating the perspective of the human eye. This feature is expected to produce more lifelike and less distorted images, providing users with a more enjoyable photography experience.
Though the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models may have a slightly smaller sensor compared to the Pro versions, their 1/1.5-inch CIS still marks a significant 27% increase in sensor size from the previous iPhone 14 models. While professionals might notice a difference in specific photography scenarios, the average user can expect remarkable improvements in image quality.
A recent leak by RGcloudS on Twitter suggests that the iPhone 15 models will feature a new hybrid lens design for their main camera, comprising a single glass element and six plastic elements. This design, with its f/1.7 aperture, promises to improve low-light photography by absorbing up to 20% more light than the iPhone 14 Pro models. Despite concerns about a potential aperture downgrade in non-Pro models, the hybrid lens, and the A16 Bionic chip are expected to compensate for any performance differences.
Apple’s choice to implement these camera upgrades on the standard models is reportedly based on learnings from the iPhone 14’s sales performance. While the non-Pro iPhone 15 models won’t feature a telephoto lens for optical zoom or a LiDAR scanner, the overall improvements in camera technology are likely to appeal to a broader audience, offering an impressive photography experience for everyday users.
