iPhone 15: 5 things about the camera you want to know

Although it will take at least six months before it comes out, we are already looking forward to the arrival of the iPhone 15. Many rumors are already circulating about the device. We put five in a row about the camera of the smartphone.

As with a new iPhone, the news comes early. While there are already rumors about the iPhone 16, we are now looking at the iPhone 15 models. But what do these news say about the camera?

Here’s what you want to know about the iPhone 15’s camera

We have listed five of them especially for you. This way you know what you can expect from the camera of the iPhone 15.

#1 All iPhone 15 models get a 48 megapixel camera

The iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max got a wide-angle camera with 48 megapixels. So this was only a feature for the more expensive models. It now also seems that the regular 15 and the 15 Plus will also get this 48-megapixel camera.

Of course, megapixel doesn’t say everything in terms of camera quality, but it does ensure that you get a more detailed photo. This is especially true in low-light situations. So this is a very welcome change.

#2 A new sensor

A sensor is one of the most important parts of a camera. The iPhone 15 line is rumored to get a new one from Sony. Unfortunately, it is still unknown whether this only applies to the Pro models, or whether the regular devices will also receive it.

But why is a sensor so important? It gives more detail in a photo because it provides better exposure. This way you get better photos, especially in dark environments. This new sensor is said to double the saturation level in each pixel.

#3 iPhone 15 Pro Max gets a periscope

There have been reports for some time that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have a periscope camera. One who shared the news was the reliable Ming-Chi Kuo.

The periscope extends the camera lens, which can be compared to the periscope of a submarine. So you get an even better zoom through that camera. With the 14 Pro Max you currently zoom three times, but with the iPhone 15 Pro Max this should be six times.

#4 Four cameras unlikely

While some brands have four cameras on the back, everything seems to indicate that the number of cameras on the iPhone 15 line will not change. That means the regular models get two and the Pro and Pro Max get three on the back.

#5 New chip new possibilities

The 15 Pro and Pro Max will get a new chip anyway. And a new processor means more possibilities. This one is more powerful and faster than the previous one, so Apple can add even more features to the camera. What these are, is now only a guess.
