iPhone 18 will 'shock' when equipped with 200 MP camera

Many iPhone users have expressed dissatisfaction with the device's camera quality, but things will be different with the iPhone 18.

One of the main reasons why the iPhone camera is not highly rated stems from the Smart HDR technology that Apple applies. While this technology is not the only factor affecting image quality, in the current era of computational photography, algorithms decide what should be in focus when taking a photo.

While Apple can improve some issues by upgrading the chip, lens and algorithm, a key factor that makes the iPhone camera outstanding is the custom image sensor. This is the new direction that Apple is aiming to improve the photography capabilities of future iPhones, which can be applied as early as the iPhone 18 series next year.

The latest report said that Apple has filed a patent called "Image sensor with stacked pixels with high dynamic range and low noise". Unlike many previous controversial patents, this invention is expected to be applied from next year.

According to an analysis by MacRumors , the image sensor proposed by Apple could outperform many professional cameras, at least if it works as well as the patent describes. A source from Weibo said that Apple has developed this sensor and is in the testing phase, meaning it could appear on iPhone models in the near future.

Strong investment sources determined to bring iPhone camera 'to the top'

In addition, the Financial Times revealed that Apple is investing $600 billion in manufacturing in the US and is expected to launch new technology to produce chips, although it is not clear what kind of chips will be produced. Apple is also preparing to produce three-layer stacked image sensors, a technology that has not been produced on a commercial scale so far. In particular, Apple may cooperate with Samsung to develop these semiconductor components.

The article points out that Samsung is researching image sensors for the iPhone 18 series at its semiconductor plant in Austin, Texas (USA) and trial production may begin soon. If Samsung succeeds in mass producing this sensor for Apple, it could mark a revolution in iPhone camera technology, and help Apple meet the US government 's requirement for domestic component production. Notably, Samsung is currently a supplier of 200 MP camera sensors, so it is not impossible that the iPhone 18 can inherit this advantage.
