The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models are expected to include a 48-megapixel main rear camera sensor this year. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are the only devices with the bigger camera sensors at the moment. Both the standard iPhone 14 and the larger iPhone 14 Plus have identical dual 12-megapixel rear cameras. There are rumours that the non-pro versions of the iPhone 15 series will include a USB Type-C connector rather than a Lightning charging connection. The company's A16 Bionic technology, which is now found in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, is anticipated to power them.
According to 9to5Mac, Jeff Pu of Haitong Intl Tech Study predicted in a research note the camera configuration and specs of the iPhone 15 versions. The two non-Pro versions in the lineup, according to the analyst, would include a three-stacked sensor and a 48-megapixel wide lens. This will be an improvement over the existing iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus as both have a 12-megapixel wide-angle and 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera on the rear. In the other hand, the 48-megapixel primary camera on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max has second-generation sensor-shift optical image stabilisation. Apple is unlikely to include a LiDAR scanner or a telephoto lens for optical zoom in the entry-level iPhone 15 models, though.
Jeff Pu also adds that for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models, Apple could switch out the outdated Lightning charging connector with a USB Type-C port. The newest A16 Bionic SoC, which is presently only available in iPhone 14 Pro models, will power the non-Pro versions of the phones.
Jeff Pu's theory is consistent with earlier accounts. The iPhone 15 series, according to TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, will no longer use the Lightning connection in favour of USB Type-C. According to reports, the Cupertino-based corporation is developing 8K video recording capabilities for the next iPhone models. Both the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra are expected to include Apple's A17 Bionic SoC.
The next iPhone 15 series and its debut have not been announced by Apple, but there have been a number of leaks in the past that have hinted at the appearance and some of the technical details. The normal iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max versions are reportedly included in this year's iPhone range. It is anticipated that solid-state buttons would replace the traditional volume and power buttons on the high-end iPhone 15 devices.
