Upcoming lower-end iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models are set to feature a 48-megapixel rear camera lens, according to Jeff Pu, an analyst at Haitong International Securities. The Hong Kong-based investment firm revealed in a research note obtained by MacRumors that these new models will utilize a three-stacked sensor, allowing for improved image quality by capturing more light.
However, recent supply chain checks suggest that the stacked sensor is facing yield issues, which could result in production delays for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
Despite these potential setbacks, Apple is still expected to launch these new models in September. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max were the first to feature the 48-megapixel camera lens, which allows users to take 48-megapixel ProRAW photos, providing more detail in the image file for increased editing flexibility.
Jeff Pu was also the first to report that the iPhone 15 Pro models would no longer feature solid-state buttons due to “design issues.” However, he still expects these models to feature a titanium frame, an upgraded A17 Bionic chip, and an increased RAM of 8 GB. Pu reiterated that all four iPhone 15 models will also have a USB-C port.
