Apple’s iPhone cameras haven’t seen much of an upgrade in a while since the 12MP rear cameras. Largan Precision, a company that is involved in the manufacturing of Apple’s cameras, will reportedly produce cameras that are more than 12 megapixels. This comes after news that the company will be launching a new plant next month.
Apple upgraded its rear cameras from 8MP to 12MP when it launched the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus retained the megapixel count, with the larger sibling sporting two 12MP sensors for its dual rear camera setup. Largan Precision’s new factory is expected to manufacture up to 600 million smartphone camera lenses every single month. But the company is said to only go full force in Q1 2018, although production is slated to begin really soon.
We can’t be certain as to what Apple has in store for us at its September 12 event when it launches the new iPhone. We might or might not see a major camera upgrade for Apple’s annual handset refresh. What we can be more certain about is that the upcoming iPhone will feature a near bezel-less display on the front.
Apple has shown us that megapixel count doesn’t matter as much as it should, with its line of iPhones capable of producing many of the best quality images out there when compared with the competition. Do you think an increase in megapixel count for Apple’s iPhone cameras will make a huge difference?
