iPhone 13 Pro Max will stand out with its upgraded wide angle camera: Kuo

Posted on by Nadeem Sarwar

We’ve lately been hearing a lot of rumors regarding the camera upgrades that the iPhone 13 family will allegedly bring to the table. As per a new research note by TFI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (via AppleInsider), Apple is going to equip the iPhone 13 Pro Max with an F/1.5 wide-angle camera. For comparison, the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max have a wide-angle camera with an F/1.6 aperture. So, what’s the benefit of an F/1.5 aperture for the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s wide-angle camera?

A larger aperture will likely yield better low-light performance

Well, to put it briefly, a larger aperture will allow more light in, which directly means improved results in low-light scenarios. A larger aperture also helps with clicking better portrait shots as it allows one to achieve a better bokeh effect in photos. However, it remains to be seen how much of a difference an F/1.5 wide-angle camera on the iPhone 13 Pro Max creates when compared against the F/1.6 snapper on its predecessor.

 

 

As for the rest of the iPhone 13 family, it will reportedly come equipped with an F/1.6 wide-angle camera. It appears that Apple again wants to give the pricier ‘Max’ model an edge over its sibling to justify the price premium. Last year, Apple armed the iPhone 12 Pro Max with the more efficient Sensor-Shift image stabilization technology, while the rest of the iPhone 12 series phones went with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). As per a DigiTimes report, Apple is going to bring the new stabilization tech to the entire iPhone 13 series this year.

Kuo also adds the entire iPhone 13 series will rely on a 7P lens assembly for the wide-angle camera. Previous leaks suggest that the iPhone 13 Pro and its Max version will come equipped with a 120Hz LTPO OLED panel supplied by Samsung, and the notch is getting smaller as well. Additionally, we might get a matte black finish on the iPhone 13 Pro pair this year, and a 1TB storage option to hurt your wallet might also be on the table.

It will take two more years for iPhones to bring a ‘Persicope’ Telephoto lens

Posted on by Prakhar Khanna

It’s a cycle – new iPhone launches, and within a month we start getting rumors about the next iPhone, and within six months leaks about iPhones that are 2 years away start trickling in. The latest leak says that iPhones will adopt a “periscopic telephoto lens” in 2023, which means the feature is still 2 years away. For reference, the periscope telephoto lens has been a part of Android flagships from Samsung and Huawei for a while now.

No hurry, take your time Apple

The latest development comes from MacRumors, which cites TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo to report that Apple will introduce a periscope telephoto lens on its iPhones in 2023. The feature is touted to allow for significant improvements in optical zoom capabilities. On the other hand, Samsung introduced 100x zoom with the Galaxy S20 Ultra, which was meh but improved it significantly with the Galaxy S21 Ultra. The iPhone competitors are already offering this feature, and are far ahead in zooming capabilities.

Previously, Kuo had said that he expected Apple to adopt a periscope lens in 2022 iPhone. However, it appears he now believes that won’t happen until 2023.

Kuo details the path for next three iPhones

Apart from the said feature for 2023, Kuo also detailed the camera features of the upcoming Apple iPhones. The high-end 2021 iPhones are also slated to feature an upgraded telephoto lens. Apple could upgrade from a 5-element lens to a 6-element lens. Further, rear-facing camera improvements coming to high-end iPhones in 2022 will focus on the telephoto lens. The company might be upgrading from a 6-element lens to a 7-element lens for the ‌iPhone‌ 14. 

New FaceID transmitter on 2021 iPhones

Kuo also detailed a feature for the upcoming iPhones. The analyst believes that Apple will adopt a new Face ID transmitter that’s made from a plastic material instead of glass. However, it is not clear if this design change will have end-user benefits for ‌iPhone‌ owners or if it will simply mean a reduction in production cost for Apple.
