It is prone to be one other seven months till the official unveiling of the iPhone 15, however within the meantime there are many leaks and rumors to digest – together with one which factors to a “new digicam bump” for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.

This comes from tipster ShrimpApplePro (opens in new tab) (by way of GSMArena (opens in new tab)) on Twitter. The declare was made in response to a round-up of the leaked iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus specs which have been circulating up till this level.

Nonetheless, there aren’t any different particulars hooked up – so it isn’t clear precisely how the digicam bump on the successors to the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus are going to vary. Presumably, some type of redesign goes to be concerned.

Add a pinch of salt

It is value declaring that the point out of a brand new digicam bump is preceded by the road “do not quote me on this however” – suggesting that this won’t be essentially the most dependable rumor by way of the standard of the knowledge or the knowledge of it coming to move.

That stated, ShrimpApplePro is not new to the telephone leaks recreation. Whereas we’ve got had some inaccurate info from this supply previously, there have additionally been some right predictions. These right predictions embrace the battery dimension on the iPhone 14 Professional Max.

At this stage then, it is a undoubtedly perhaps on the redesigned digicam bump for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. It may be fascinating to see if we hear any extra rumors alongside these traces between now and September.

Evaluation: let the hypothesis start

When it comes to look, the digicam bump on the again of the iPhone 14 is equivalent to the one on the iPhone 13, which in flip is barely a slight variation (by way of lens positioning) to the one we acquired with the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 11.

So you may say we have not seen a considerable digicam bump revamp for the iPhone since 2019, which is sort of a stretch. That makes us extra prone to imagine that that is an correct leak and that Apple actually goes to make a change this yr.

The hypothesis has already began on Twitter about what the “new digicam bump” trace may imply. Maybe further lenses will likely be added past the 2 12MP modules on the present mannequin, or maybe the bump will get greater or extra pronounced.

Apple may even comply with the lead of the Samsung Galaxy S23 and have the digicam lenses separated on the again of the telephone, with none seen housing round them. As but, we’ve not seen any leaked photos of the iPhone 15.
