Apple plans to introduce four new twelfth-generation iPhone models this fall. Now there are new details about the top model - the supposed iPhone 12 Pro Max.
At the end of last year, DigiTimes reported that the high-end model of the iPhone 12 series would receive a sensor-based stabilization system. At the time, no details were given. Now the well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has spoken out and revealed details. According to him, the top model - the supposed iPhone 12 Pro Max - will receive a camera module that is equipped with a new and, above all, larger sensor as well as sensor shift stabilization.
The larger the sensor, the less noise in the image
The topic of "sensor-based stabilization" in the iPhone isn't new, but it's more concrete for the first time. If the analyst's prediction is correct, we can expect significantly more reliable and stable images. This would also benefit the ultra-wide-angle lens, which lacks optical image stabilization in the current generation of devices. However, the overall larger image sensor could make the biggest difference in image quality here. A larger sensor can capture more light, leading to improved performance in low-light situations. Images with reduced noise should therefore be the norm. Kuo emphasizes that this technology will be reserved for the top-of-the-line model in 2020—an expansion to other iPhone devices is not expected until 2021 at the earliest.
