A reliable source has dropped an exciting rumor about Apple mobile phones coming next year.
As we recently reported in a summary article, leakers in recent months have been noticeably concerned about the iPhone 17 family of models, which are expected to debut in the fall of 2025, so although we still have to wait until the iPhone 16 is released, it was… Apple could reveal a lot of information next year about its upcoming devices. Among the more exciting rumors is that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max may come with facial recognition sensors under the display, and that the latter may include a four times larger 48-megapixel telephoto camera. However, another camera report has now surfaced, which has not yet been voiced.
The source of the advice is Ming-Chi Kuo, who, as a supply chain expert, has been sharing often accurate predictions about upcoming Apple products for more than 10 years. This time, the analyst reported on his own blog that the iPhone 17 will no longer have a 12-megapixel front camera, but rather a 24-megapixel front camera, which comes from a manufacturer called Genius.
Kuo knows that the selfie camera will also be more advanced in terms of its structure, so it will use a 6-layer layout instead of the current 5. The expert expects that the cost of this new camera unit will be approximately double the cost of the previous unit, which will significantly increase Genius' income. The interesting thing about the report is that Kuo specifically mentions the iPhone 17, which might even indicate that the new selfie sensor won't just be coming to the more expensive Pro and Pro Max models, but of course we can't rule out that the analyst simply doesn't. He has information about this matter, so he does not want to go into details.
Kuo also made two predictions regarding the iPhone 16, namely 9to5Mac according to Consistent with previous reports from other sources. One of them is that the iPhone 16 Pro series, expected by September 2024, will already have a 48MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and this time the regular Pro version will also get a 12MP periscope camera and 5X zoom, which also comes from Genius.
