Apple iPhone 15 new leaks: A 48-MP camera sensor and up to $200 price hike | Digit

This year’s most hyped smartphone series, Apple iPhone 15 is expected to launch next month. However, the tipsters can’t just hold it back. Another leak of iPhone 15 has surfaced on the internet. It is about the camera configuration of the upcoming smartphones. The launch of iPhone 15 was previously rumoured to be delayed this year. Amid that, we got to know about a new upgrade in iPhone 15 standard models; iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. 

Ming-Chi Kuo, an Apple analyst, has come up with a leak that suggests a 48-megapixel primary camera in the upcoming smartphones. Not that he only suggests that but also mentioned the new sensor in ‘Standard’ models which are iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. This will make a good upgrade because last year, only the high-end models of iPhone 14 series had a 48-megapixel sensor.

Another leak by PhoneArena in a collaboration with Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station suggests a smaller lens in iPhone 15 base models. It says the iPhone 15 and Plus will feature a 48-megapixel wide-angle 1/1.5 inch sensor. Comparatively, this size is smaller than the size of the lens of iPhone 14. The iPhone 14 featured a 12-megapixel 1/1.7-inch sensor. 

Interestingly, featuring a 48-megapixel primary lens in iPhone 15 standard models confirms another rumour which was leaked a few days ago. It has stated a 48-megapixel in all four models of Apple iPhone 15 series.
