iPhone 15 series specifications have leaked online. The upcoming iPhone models are expected to launch in September 2023. Apple is expected to launch four new iPhones later this year. There will be the standard iPhone 15 sitting below its Plus-sized model. Apple will also launch two high-end Pro models later this year. Most rumours have been suggesting massive upgrades in the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, including the inclusion of a new periscope lens, titanium chassis, etc. The vanilla models are said to get some incremental upgrades over the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. Now, a new leak has claimed that the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are likely to get a massive camera upgrade.
A MacRumors report, citing an analyst research note, claims that the upcoming non-Pro iPhone models will get a new camera sensor. Jeff Pu, an analyst at Hong Kong-based investment firm Haitong International Securities, in his research note, claimed that the vanilla and Plus models this year will feature a new 48MP camera sensor on the back. Apple introduced a 48MP camera for the first time ever with the iPhone 14 Pro series. The higher resolution sensor enabled new camera features, including support for 48MP ProRAW.
If the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus do get a new 48MP camera, it would be the first major camera resolution upgrade since the iPhone 6s for the baseline model. Apple upgraded the iPhone 6s’ camera with a 12MP sensor on the back. While the sensor resolution has remained the same all these years, Apple has upgraded the sensor size over time.
Pu stated that the non-Pro models will feature a new three-stacked sensor that can capture more light for improved image quality. However, the stacked sensor is likely facing yield issues, which could lead to delays in the mass production of the vanilla models.
The analyst further reiterated some of the specs, such as the inclusion of a USB Type-C port, a titanium frame for the Pro models, an upgraded A17 Bionic SoC and more RAM. Let’s take a look at the iPhone 15 series specifications and features known so far.
