Apple has introduced the 5.4-inch “iPhone” mini in the “iPhone 12” range and plans to continue selling a 5.4-inch device in 2021, but it looks like the size will be discontinued after that if Kuo’s information is correct. The iPhone 12 mini did not sell as well as expected, according to several iPhone sales estimates.
Along with optimizing the size options, Kuo believes that Apple will introduce significant camera enhancements in the 2022 iPhones, adding a 48-megapixel camera in the high-end iPhone 14 models. to a new level ”.
In terms of pixel size, iPhone 12, iPhone 13 and the new 2H22 iPhone are about 1.7um, 2um and 1.25um, respectively. We believe that the new 2H22 iPhone can support 48MP and 12MP direct output (four-cell fused output mode) simultaneously. With 12MP output, the CIS pixel size of the new iPhone 2H22 increases to about 2.5um, which is significantly larger than iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 and larger than existing Android phones and close to the DSC level. We believe that the camera quality of the new iPhone 2H22 will take the picture of the mobile phone camera to a new level.
Along with a 48-megapixel lens that will be able to emit in 12 megapixels, Kuo expects state-of-the-art iPhones to be able to record 8K videos and says that in the future, watching videos recorded on iPhone on an 8K screen or TV “will provide a better user experience.”
Because the best resolution for augmented and mixed reality is 8K to 16K, Kuo says the 2022’s 22-megapixel 22iPhone camera will create videos and images that are “better suited for AR / MR devices” and that will “improve the AR / MR user”. MR experience. “
As for future iPhones, Kuo says Apple will adopt a periscope telephoto lens in 2023, along with the under-displayed Face ID, which would likely see the notch removed. Kuo previously said that Apple will introduce a perforated front camera in the 2022 iPhone and that at least one “iPhone” in 2023 will have a Touch ID sub-display and a full-screen display with no notches or holes.
