Ice Universe: iPhone 15 Pro Max will get an almost 1-inch Sony sensor

Despite the fact that Apple's traditional annual fall presentation is still a long way off, insiders continue

share information about future smartphones of the iPhone 15 line. This time the source was the famous insider Ice Universe, who obtained interesting details about the top model iPhone 15 Pro Max.

What to expect

Apple has not increased itscamera resolution, and only in 2022 switched to 48-megapixel sensors in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Therefore, don’t expect more megapixels this year - the iPhone 15 Pro Max will also have a 48 MP camera.

However, there will still be changes:According to the leak, Apple is using a more advanced Sony IMX903 sensor. In size, it is closer to 1-inch sensors - 1/1.14 inches compared to 1/1.28 inches for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. That is, the Sony IMX903 is larger in size, as evidenced by the renderings of the iPhone 15 Pro Max - the camera on them protrudes more above the body than on its predecessors.

What's the difference? A larger sensor has inherent benefits, as even in low-light conditions, a larger camera lets in more light, capturing more detail.

In addition, according to rumors, the Sony IMX903 may be more expensive than the inch Sony IMX989 sensor.
