The iPhone 15 series isn’t out yet, but we’ve already seen loads of rumors and leaks regarding these phones. We’ve also seen a smattering of iPhone 16 leaks in recent times, and it looks like next year’s Pro models could be in for an ultrawide camera upgrade.
Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu has claimed (h/t: MacRumors) that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will gain a 48MP ultrawide rear camera. This represents a major resolution upgrade compared to the long-standing 12MP sensor currently used on iPhone models.
