In recent weeks, rumors have been piling up about the successors to the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max – the upcoming iPhone XR 2 was only mentioned in passing.
After numerous rumors have surfaced about the camera of the upcoming iPhone 11, there is now a concrete report that relates to the upcoming iPhone XR 2. The Japanese platform Macotakara, like star analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, also has reliable sources - this has already been shown several times in the past. Now the Japanese Apple Blog is reporting on the upcoming iPhone XR 2. According to this, Apple will give the colorful entry-level model a dual camera - with this announcement, Macotakara underlines an earlier statement by Ming-Chi Kuo, Bloomberg and OnLeaks. The dual camera is already known from the iPhone X, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max - it has a wide-angle and telephoto lens.
Macotakara claims to have received this information from Chinese suppliers.
iPhone 11 with triple camera
The current iPhone XR has a single wide-angle lens - the device uses special algorithms to achieve a similar portrait effect as the XS line-up - but the resulting image is reduced in size and not necessarily as accurate as that of the premium iPhones. There was also another side note on the subject of the iPhone 11. The premium device and its big brother are to be equipped with a triple camera for the first time this year - this is once again a confirmation of previous rumors. The design of the new camera module is already being heavily criticized - previous rumors and leaks point to a square. The presentation of the three new iPhone models is expected in mid-September.
