Just a few days in February, we are already seeing the second major leak of the iPhone 13 of the month. We’ve already heard that some huge new storage options are on the way, and now a new leak may explain why – the camera on this thing can be incredible.
A new report suggests that the iPhone 13’s ultra-wide camera may have a much larger aperture than the iPhone 12. While the latter carries an f / 2.4 lens, the new model will push it to f / 1.8 (smaller number, of course) , means equals greater openness – check out our photography skills guide if you need an update).
According to the report by the famous Apple analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo (as discovered by MacRumors), the Chinese lens supplier Sunny Optical is on its way to ship the extremely improved lenses for the iPhone 13 “in the second half of 2021”.
Although the iPhone 12 already offers brilliant photos in low light thanks to Night Mode, alternative software solutions will never match the raw hardware – and a better aperture will mean even better photos at night, as more light can pass through the lens.
Kuo also says the iPhone 13 Pro will have a slightly improved telephoto lens. While the 12 Pro Max has a 2.5x optical zoom, the Pro is limited to 2x. This year, the smaller Pro model will have the same 2.5x zoom as the Max. It’s a small update, but the incredible telephoto lens of the 12 Pro Max is what put it at the top of our list of best camera phones, and we’ll be happy. to see it come to more portable models.
Low-light shooting is an area where smartphones have lagged behind traditional cameras, but for some users, the gap is certainly narrowing. The improved aperture can only be a good thing for photographers on the go, and it will be interesting to see how the iPhone 13 performs much better than its predecessor. Still, a world in which a smartphone is the only camera photographers need is probably a long way off – we don’t think any of our best cameras should be concerned yet.
As with all leaks, time will tell how accurate the latter proves to be, but it’s more tempting to add to the ever-growing pile of rumors of the iPhone 13. From the remarkable battery life to the new screen technology, the next smartphone from Apple is looking more impressive every day – here’s everything we know about the iPhone 13 so far.
Of course, the dust has barely settled on the iPhone 12, which not only features incredible camera technology of its own, but has the added advantage of existing now. Check out today’s best deals below and don’t forget to visit our Apple Offers home page to get all the best deals in one place.
