In his most recent financial backer note distributed to Medium, Kuo said the key detail change would be a 1/2.6" 48MP CIS sensor, up from the 1/3.1" 12MP sensor expected to be utilized in the current year's iPhone 16 Ace models.

Both the iPhone 16 Genius and the iPhone 16 Ace Max are supposed to get Tetraprism zooming focal points in 2024, rather than the innovation being restricted to the bigger Master Max, for what it's worth in the iPhone 15 series. (The iPhone 15 Master has a 12-megapixel fax camera that offers 3x zoom, yet the iPhone 15 Expert Max utilizes an updated fax framework that considers 5x zoom.) That implies both iPhone 16 Ace models will highlight something like 5x optical zoom and no less than 25x computerized zoom.

Kuo said he is as of now dubious whether just the iPhone 17 Master Max will include the redesigned Tetraprism camera. However, on the off chance that it is selective to the model, both iPhone 18 Star models will get it in 2026. The updated Tetraprism camera requires all-new planned crystals, which should have a more limited structure component to diminish the camera's level, added Kuo.

The investigator's report verifies a case made last year by Jeff Pu of Haitong Worldwide Protections. Pu in December said the iPhone 17 Master Max's redesigned 48MP zooming focal point will be improved for use with Apple Vision Ace. Current iPhone 15 Expert models can record spatial video with 3D profundity for playback on the Vision Ace - when held in scene direction, the principal and ultra wide focal points consolidate to record spatial video with added profundity.

Pu recently said both iPhone 16 Expert models will highlight a 48MP ultra wide focal point, which would make the iPhone 17 Genius Max the main iPhone model to have a back camera framework completely comprised of 48-megapixel focal points. To place that into viewpoint, current iPhone 15 Star models have 48MP principal, 12MP ultra wide, and 12MP zooming focal points.

Looking further ahead, Kuo said 2027 iPhones will have an all the more significantly further developed Tetraprism camera with a superior optical zoom. This is probably going to be accomplished by expanding the quantity of crystals to extend the light way, where case it would never again be known as a "Tetraprism" focal point. As the quantity of crystals expands, the crystal size might should be decreased, expanding the intricacy of the crystal configuration, said the investigator.
