iPhone 15 Ultra will ‘cut the tail’ of the opponent thanks to this ‘unique’ equipment

It took Apple 7 years to increase the resolution on the main camera sensor of the iPhone. Therefore, it can be believed that the resolution on the iPhone will not be continued to increase any time soon. However, Apple may make another important change on the iPhone 15 generation to help this phone take photos that are superior to the 48 MP sensor on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, at least according to new rumors. This.

A reliable source is Ice Universe confirming that the most advanced iPhone 15 model – possibly called iPhone 15 Ultra, will use Sony’s new sensor. Specifically, it will be the IMX903 sensor line compared to the IMX803 sensor on the old generation.

The biggest difference is that the old sensor has a size of 1/1.28 inch while the IMX903 sensor uses a 1/1.14 inch sensor. The larger sensor will help the phone capture more light and details when taking pictures.

Although this sensor is not yet comparable to the 1-inch sensor, Ice Universe thinks its quality is close to the same. A report in November 2023 showed that the IMX903 sensor is capable of doubling the signal saturation, helping to reduce noise and increase dynamic range when taking pictures.

Recently, people have seen a number of Android smartphones from China equipped with 1-inch sensors and they really challenge the top camera smartphones, which rely heavily on high resolution and computer algorithms. The larger sensor will help Apple “cut the tail” of rivals.

The iPhone 15 Ultra is likely to also feature a new periscope lens with 6x optical zoom while the 15 Pro may still use a 3x telephoto zoom camera like the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Some other rumors about the product include the removal of a series of physical buttons, a new generation of 3 nm chipset and the appearance of a USB-C port for the first time. The screen border of the device can also be made thinner, helping the company to reduce the product size while the screen remains unchanged.

The new generation iPhone could be launched in September 2023.
