The iPhone 15 Pro is set to receive numerous upgrades upon its launch later this year. However, it appears that Apple’s focus is not primarily on improving the camera hardware, as rumors suggest that it will retain the same hardware as its predecessor, the iPhone 14 Pro. Fortunately, the iPhone 16 Pro is expected to bring a significant change in this regard.

According to the reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 16 Pro is slated to adopt an innovative stacked camera system. Reports indicate that this upgrade will also be available for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, utilizing a cutting-edge stacked CMOS image sensor (CIS) developed by Sony.

Kuo asserts that production capacity constraints prevent the widespread implementation of this advanced sensor across the entire iPhone 15 lineup this year. Nevertheless, he assures that Apple has secured sufficient sensor orders to include the iPhone 16 Pro lineup in this groundbreaking enhancement.

The stacked sensor featured in the standard iPhone 15 is anticipated to provide an impressive 48MP resolution and improved light-capturing capabilities.

This advancement should significantly enhance photo quality, particularly in challenging low-light conditions. The boost in resolution is also much-needed, considering that the main sensor of the standard iPhone 14 was limited to a mere 12MP, making it a top priority for an upgrade this year.

While the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus revel in these camera improvements, the iPhone 15 Pro appears to be in a somewhat unfavorable position.

Notably, both non-Pro models are rumored to receive an upgraded sensor, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to boast a revolutionary “periscope-style” telephoto lens, positioned vertically instead of horizontally.

This novel feature is projected to offer an impressive 6x optical zoom, doubling the capabilities of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Furthermore, there are speculations that the telephoto lens may incorporate a hybrid design capable of achieving variable optical zoom levels.

Consequently, the iPhone 15 Pro’s camera hardware remains relatively unchanged, with the only notable upgrade being an improved LiDAR sensor.

However, hopes are high that Apple has invested significantly in enhancing the software aspects of the device to compensate for the lack of substantial hardware improvements.

On the other hand, whatever the iPhone 15 Pro might miss out on, the iPhone 16 Pro is expected to compensate generously. Alongside the rumored stacked camera lens, reports also hint at an imminent redesign, which could potentially provide ample space for the phone to accommodate its own periscope telephoto lens.

While awaiting the arrival of these exciting new devices, be sure to stay updated with our iPhone 15 Pro hub for the latest news and rumors surrounding the upcoming phone.

Speculations suggest that the September Apple Event might take place on September 13, so there is not much time left before we can witness what Apple has in store for us.
