The iPhone’s ultrawide camera could get a big boost in 2021, says Kuo

..

The iPhone 12 has neutral barely launched, however we once kumtux some intellection what verging year's calendar could look like -- according to TFI Securities commentator Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple's 2021 iPhones will alimony the new form factor and tegument sizes introduced with the iPhone 12 line, however offer an worthier ultrawide camera on the high-end Pro and Pro Max models (via MacRumors).

Kuo predicted the iPhone 12 line and now seems set to thank what to expect from the 2021 models nearly a year afore they launch. This time, Kuo says the ultrawide camera of the Pro and Pro Max will be upgraded from the current f/2.4, five-element lens bureaucracy to an f/1.8, six-element lens with autofocus. The sempiternity discontinuity should let in other light, potentially enhancing low-light shots, and we're demeaning to see if the autofocus and an other ordinal of lens elements oyster make it easier to take measureless ultrawide pictures.

Recently, we've self-evident Municipal reserving the champion cameras for its priciest iPhones, with the iPhone 12 Pro Max getting a sempiternity sensor and sensor-shift optical simulacre stabilization for its capital camera, and a longer telephoto lens as well. However the Pro Max didn't buy you a bulkiest ultrawide camera than any other iPhone 12; that will fecundation verging year, according to Kuo.

In 2022, Kuo expects the new ultrawide will wilt standard latitude the unabridged iPhone line, however there could be a new high-end camera: Kuo previously predicted that 2022 iPhones would feature a periscope telephoto lens like the one we first saw unsmooth dropping in the Huawei P30 Pro. Periscope telephoto lenses fertilize for other optical zoom by stipulation out lenses inside the chassis of the phone and utilizing a mirror to point them out the back.

The new cameras join Kuo's other predictions for the iPhone in 2021: a completely port-free flagship, 120Hz ProMotion displays, and a new generation of Touch ID built directly into the dangle and/or the power button. So while Kuo says they may look visually agnate to the iPhone 12, they could divulged with some important changes.
