We know well that the presentation of the iPhone is usually in the month of September and, except for a capital surprise, this year there will be no variations. However, the leaks on the following Apple smartphones continue to emerge and the always prolific analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has revealed new data about his cameras, which adds to other reports we had previously and that reveal notable changes in these new iPhones that will arrive. by the end of the year.
Bittersweet taste with iPhone 13 cameras
We start by remembering the newest parts that the cameras of the iPhone of 2021 will have, of which it is still unknown if they will be called 12s or 13. In any case, there will be four devices in identical sizes to the current line of iPhone 12 and all would come with LiDAR sensor that until now is exclusive to the ‘Pro’ models. More advanced models are also said to have astrophotographic camera capabilities thanks to a better ultra-wide sensor that Kuo again spoke about in today’s report, stating that it would have an aperture of f / 1.8, a significant improvement over the 2.4 that the current models have.
In the most sour part of the information known today stands out the fact that the wide angle lens will not change with respect to what we already know. According to Kuo, they would bet on a 7P main lens with 12 Megapixels and an aperture of f / 1.6. The only one that would have a variation would be the ‘Pro Max’ model with an aperture of f / 1.5. Regarding the manufacturer, it has been confirmed again that it is Sunny Optical who will be responsible for the supply of these lenses.
In summary, subtracting the LiDAR sensor or the improvement in ultra-wide angle lens mentioned above, we would find cameras very similar to what we already have except for the iPhone Pro Max. However, it must be borne in mind that the improvement in the ultra wide angle is not a minor thing, especially in night photographs, nor is the fact of enjoying better photos in portrait mode in all models thanks to LiDAR, being able to even add the rumored functionality to add that bokeh effect also on video.
The processor could be the key again
If we take a look at the technical specifications of a good part of the high-end Android phones we can put our hands in our heads seeing how ridiculous the 12 Megapixels of the iPhone 12 are compared to what they offer. However, this data collides with results in photography and video in which in the end everything is much more equal. And it is that, definitely, the Mpx are not everything.
Apple has a photographic enhancement system known as Deep Fusion, which was already introduced in the iPhone 11. This computational processing takes advantage of the high performance of the device’s processors and precisely the A15 that the iPhone 13 will mount would once again be a key element for Enlarge the photographic results of the phone.
In any case, we emphasize that this information does not come directly from Apple, but from sources close to it or the supply chain. Therefore, these leaks can be given credibility, but always with some caution if we take into account that some data could not be exact or that for any technical or strategic reason Apple could change plans. In any case, it already seems a fact that the vast majority of the characteristics mentioned in this article are on the company’s roadmap, since other analysts in this environment have commented the same thing on other occasions.
