Apple introduced a massive 48MP camera on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, while the vanilla and Plus models continued with the old 12MP camera setup. However, it seems like the trend is now going to be changed with the upcoming iPhone 15 series. The latest leak by analyst Jeff Pu of Haitong Intl Tech Research suggested that iPhone fans can expect major camera upgrades on all iPhone models in 2023, which includes iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus too.

As per a report of 9to5Mac, Jeff Pu claims that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will bring three-stacked sensors with a 48MP wide lens for the first time.
