According to Taiwanese research firm TrendForce, the highlight of Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 15 launch event will undoubtedly be the game-changing camera upgrades, MacRumors is reporting.
These enhancements are expected to be the “star of the show” and could prove to be a “pivotal factor” influencing potential buyers’ decisions, notes the report.
As previously rumoured and now confirmed by TrendForce, both the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models will feature a cutting-edge stacked camera sensor supplied by Sony.
This advanced sensor promises improved low-light performance by capturing more light, leading to enhanced dynamic range in photos.
Furthermore, in line with previous speculations, TrendForce also verified that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will boast a periscope telephoto lens, significantly elevating the device’s optical zoom capabilities.
Renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had hinted at the lens allowing for up to 5x or 6x optical zoom, a substantial improvement compared to the current 3x limit found in the iPhone 14 Pro models.
TrendForce’s report further confirms that all four models within the iPhone 15 lineup will sport a USB-C port, along with the highly anticipated Dynamic Island.
Replacing the notch seen in the iPhone 14 Pro models, the Dynamic Island surrounds the front camera and Face ID sensors, serving as a hub for displaying crucial information such as system alerts and Live Activities.
For the Pro models, additional new features are expected, including a lighter-weight titanium frame, a customizable Action button, the powerful A17 Bionic chip, support for Wi-Fi 6E, and more.
