The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro have taken a big leap forward in the quality of their photographs, adopting 48 megapixels in their main lenses. After many years of using 12-megapixels, it might seem like it will be years before we see more improvements, but we could see them much sooner than you think.
Ming-Chi Kuo received new data on the evolution of the cameras and lenses of the iPhone 16 and subsequent generations, and it seems that We are participating in a race to improve the resolution of all our photographs. Let’s use whatever lens we use.
48 megapixels everywhere
The famous leaker turned to his direct sources from Asian suppliers and obtained several clues. The first, the one the wide-angle lens of the iPhone 16 Pro will be 48 megapixels. This will equate the resolution of these photographs to those taken with the prime lens. The supplier of these lenses will continue to be Genius, and its revenue is expected to grow thanks to these new lenses and those it also created for the Apple Vision Pro.
The second index takes us to 2025, with an iPhone 17 whose front camera lenses will become 24 megapixels. The resolution we currently have in this camera is 12 megapixels, so we would double the definition of all our selfies. Another card that Genius wins to continue to be one of Apple’s main suppliers and generate income from it.
More pixels does not mean more size
Gaining more megapixels in photographs does not mean that we will take photos with larger size and resolution. What will simply happen is that they will take advantage more pixels to generate a photo of the same size. It seems absurd, but the improvement in definition will be noticeable in the same way that we have already noticed in the photographs of the iPhone 15.
Lenses capable of capturing more megapixels may also be a preparatory step for Vision Pro, intended for popularize three-dimensional photographs in which you can literally immerse yourself. And for that to happen, you need to acquire all the quality you can.
