iPhone 15: Here’s what the smartphone’s camera can do

The iPhone 15 camera is one of the most anticipated specs in the new iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, promising more resolution and new tech.

This is how good the iPhone 15 camera is

The iPhone 15 camera is one of the highlights of the flagship and, like its predecessor, the iPhone 14, it brings some new features. Traditionally, the iPhone camera is interesting for photographers and bloggers who don’t always want to take the big equipment with them and still want to get good pictures.

• The main camera of the iPhone 15 is equipped with 48 megapixels, which are downsampled to 24 megapixels. This makes sense so that with the comparatively small sensors, the image quality can still keep up with that of real cameras.

• Of course, this also makes the pictures significantly larger, so that the memory fills up about twice as fast as on the iPhone 14. In return, you can transfer photos faster thanks to USB-C.

• In addition to the main camera, the iPhone 15 also has a dual telephoto zoom and an ultra-wide-angle camera built in.

• On the iPhone 15 Pro, in addition to the main camera, you also have a triple telephoto camera and an ultra-wide angle camera.

• The iPhone 15 Pro Max has a five times telephoto zoom built in instead of the triple.

• The new Action Button in the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models can be programmed so that camera functions can also be assigned here.

• Other than that, the iPhone 15 models have improved processing power for face recognition and for the popular depth-of-field effect (bokeh).

• The cameras all feature True Tone flash, Deep Fusion, HDR 5, portrait light, a night mode and photographic styles. The Pro and Pro Max cameras can also adjust their lighting and shoot portraits and macros in the dark.

• The top models can also shoot in Apple ProRAW format.

The cameras of the iPhones with details

It is noticeable that the lenses are all very light sensitive, which is helpful for good quality photos because it can reduce shutter speeds.

• The iPhone 15 Pro Max has a main camera with 48 megapixels (MP) and a ƒ/1.78 aperture. The ultra-wide angle camera has 12 MP at a ƒ/2.2 aperture and the telephoto has 12 MP at a ƒ/2.8 aperture.

• The iPhone 15 Pro also has a main camera with 48 megapixels (MP) and a ƒ/1.78 aperture except for the triple telephoto zoom. The ultra-wide camera has 12 MP at a ƒ/2.2 aperture and the telephoto has 12 MP at a ƒ/2.8 aperture.

• The iPhone 15 has the main camera with 48 MP and a ƒ/1.6 aperture, and the ultra-wide with 12 MP and a ƒ/2.4 aperture.

Video with the iPhone 15 camera

With the iPhone 15 camera, you can access known values for the video.

• 4K video at 24 to 60 fps

• 1080p with up to 60 fps

• Diverse shooting modes such as HDR, Action, ProRes, Macro, Slow Motion and Time Lapse. Again, the Pro and Pro Max models have more to offer as they also have the faster processor.
