byPhil Desforges

Rumors related to the new iPhone to be released by Apple in 2019 are appearing one after another, and the possibility of realizing 3x optical zoom and stereoscopic viewing with a triple lens camera mounted on the back side has been reported.

The first thing I reported about the iPhone camera that appeared in 2019Bloombergwas. In order to realize an accurate depth mapping function and a more reliable enhanced reality (AR) function, the iPhone in 2019 reported that it installed a high-performance sensor like the iPhone X's TrueDepth camera on the rear camera. However, a totally different 3D sensor is adopted from the TrueDepth camera.

Following this, Taiwan's Economic Daily Report reported in April 2018 that the iPhone that will appear in 2019 will become a triple lens camera. If a triple lens camera is realized, it can be predicted that the low illumination performance improves and the zooming function of the camera also evolves dramatically.

further,Deutsche SecuritiesAnalyst Jialin Lu predicted that one of the iPhones planned to be released in 2019 will be equipped with "12 million pixel 6P (6 lens type) impact resistant camera". It is pointed out that this 6P lens also makes it possible for the iPhone to be able to use true optical zoom function and light field camera application.

In addition, Apple is expected to maintain "TrueDepth camera" which is a high-performance in camera to realize "face ID" of face authentication function even after iPhone X released in 2017, so future On the iPhone, there is a high possibility that advanced 3D sensors will be installed in both the in camera and the rear camera, Mr. Lu.


If the camera with 12 million effective pixels becomes a triple lens of Ruwasa street, there is a high possibility that new functions will be added to photos and cameras, Lu said. As new functions added due to the improvement of camera performance, "optical triple zoom" and "stereoscopic view" functions are cited. Of the iPhones equipped with existing dual lens cameras, the iPhone 7 Plus / iPhone 8 Plus / iPhone X each have up to twice the optical zoom function.

Even if the iPhone that appears in 2019 adopts a triple lens, it can not be the smartphone with the world's first triple lens camera. Because Huawei's new smartphone "P20 Pro" already uses a triple lens camera. In addition, overseas mediaThe Verge's reviewSo the P20 Pro triple lens camera is said to be "superior to Galaxy S 9 and iPhone X cameras".
