The first week of September brought more rumors to the mill for the usual suspects. The iPhone 15 series will offer camera upgrades across the board, with the 15 and 15 Plus getting brand new 48MP Sony sensors with a stacked design and an nf/1.6 aperture. The second shooter on the back will be the same old 12MP, f/2.4 ultrawide. We have prepared a more detailed article on what you can expect which you can check here. The 15 Pro will retain the 48MP main shooter from its predecessor but is rumored to be joined by an improved 13MP f/2.4 ultra-wide lens. The 15 Pro Max will get the biggest update with a new 12.7MP periscope lens (1/1.9″ sensor; f/2.8 aperture) with 5x optical zoom.
