The iphone could incorporate a triple main camera

During the second half of next year, that is, in 2019, Apple is likely to launch at least one new iPhone model with triple primary camera. At least that is what is claimed from the Taipei Times that quotes a research note from Yuanta Securities analyst Jeff Pu.

The triple camera would come to the iPhone in 2019

Despite the fact that the news published by the Taipei Times does not provide any additional details, as early as last month the Chinese Economic Daily News suggested that the camera system would have a 6P lens design with a zoom of up to 5x and at least a 12 megapixel lens.

Probably, they point out from MacRumors, the addition of a third lens would allow incorporating a 3x optical zoom for the first time in an iPhone, which in turn would allow users to enlarge the image in the viewfinder up to 3x without suffering a reduction in quality that displays a blurry image as with digital zoom.

Currently, the Plus models of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8, as well as the iPhone X, have a 2x optical zoom.

On the other hand, as is already traditional, the triple-lens rear camera is probably a feature reserved for high-end iPhone devices in such a way that, if this information is true, it would be introduced in a third generation of a hypothetical iPhone X and / or iPhone X Plus, which would be released around September 2019.

Although the introduction of a triple camera is a novelty on the iPhone, it would not be in the smartphone market because the new Huawei P20 Pro is the first to incorporate a triple lens rear camera system, which includes a lens 40-megapixel lens, a 20-megapixel monochrome lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with a 3x optical zoom.
