A report from Digitimes today talked about Apple’s plans. In particular, they said that Apple will use a more advanced sensor stabilization. Especially, it will use this technology in high-end 2020 Apple iPhone models.
Next year’s iPhones will reportedly be Apple’s first to support 5G networking. At least one model will support 5G — and possibly all iPhones coming out in 2020 will be able to take advantage of the faster networking standard. Other reports point to an all-new iPhone 12 design that kills the notch, in-display Touch ID functionality, and at least two new sizes.
At present, the Apple iPhone uses optical image stabilization. That function achieves image stabilization through the movement of lens components. In addition, sensor stabilization uses image sensor movement to achieve image stabilization. It’s unclear which method has better anti-shake effect. We can say that space or cost may also be the reason why Apple changed the anti-shake method.
On the iPhone11 and iPhone11 Pro, telephoto and wide-angle cameras have optical image stabilization, but ultra-wide-angle lenses do not. The iPhone 11 starts at $699. However the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max cost $999 and $1,099 respectively. The wild card is how much 5G support will add to the price of the new iPhone 12.
The next Apple iPhone is expected to be a significant upgrade. In addition to 5G, the new flagship iPhone models will also have different industrial designs. The entire product line will also use OLED displays. There will be four new flagship Apple iPhones in 2020, with screens of 5.4 inches, 6.1 inches, and 6.7 inches. High-end models will have a new time-of-flight 3D depth-sensing rear camera system for augmented reality applications and improved portrait modes.
