iPhone 15 series rumoured to have a 48MP camera with a hybrid lens.
All of the models in the lineup, including the basic iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, are rumored to include 48-megapixel cameras, which will provide users with better image quality daily.
The improved 1/1.5-inch stacked CMOS image sensor (CIS), which is intended to collect more light and provide enhanced color representation in low-light situations, is anticipated to be featured in the standard versions. This development will likely result in better photography outcomes, even under difficult lighting conditions.
The 2X mode, which simulates the perspective of the human eye to improve portrait shooting, is an interesting addition to the non-Pro models. This function is anticipated to produce photographs that are more realistic and less distorted, giving users a better photographic experience.
While the ordinary iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models' 1/1.5-inch CIS sensors are significantly smaller than those of the Pro models, they nonetheless represent a considerable 27% increase in sensor size over the iPhone 14 models. The typical user can anticipate significant increases in image quality, though professionals may perceive a difference in some shooting circumstances.

According to a recent leak on Twitter from RGcloudS, the main camera on the iPhone 15 models will have a new hybrid lens design made up of one glass element and six plastic parts. With an aperture of f/1.7, this design claims to capture up to 20% more light than the iPhone 14 Pro models, which will enhance low-light shooting. Despite worries about a potential reduction in aperture in non-Pro models, it is anticipated that the hybrid lens and the A16 Bionic CPU will make up for any performance disparities.
According to reports, Apple decided to add these camera enhancements to the base versions in light of the iPhone 14's successful sales. Despite the absence of a LiDAR scanner or a telephoto lens for optical zoom in the non-Pro iPhone 15 models, the overall advances in camera technology are likely to appeal to a wider audience and provide a remarkable shooting experience for regular users.
