iPhone 15 will take advantage of a new cutting-edge photo sensor. Future iPhone 15s will use a cutting-edge photo sensor created by Sony.

This was reported by the Japanese business newspaper Nikkei, explaining that, compared to traditional sensors, the one created by Sony promises to double the level of the saturation signal, with improvements that consequently lead to an increase in the dynamic range; the sensor in question also allows you to capture more light by reducing underexposure and overexposure in situations of full light and backlight.
Sony would have devised an architecture that provides photodiodes and transistors in separate layers (the technology is called 2-Layer Transistor Pixel) a different arrangement compared to traditional CMOS sensors in which these elements are found on the same substrate (Sony’s system has two different substrates , a trick that would offer benefits from the point of view of the quality of the images captured by the sensor).
It is still too early to talk about it but various hypotheses have already been circulated on the alleged novelties of the iPhone 15, including the integration of a USB-C port instead of the Lightning (to comply with recent European regulations), the greater amount of RAM memory, status keys solid and improvements regarding the optical zoom. There have also been rumors of the debut of a periscope lens (a lens in which light enters the front element at 90 degrees to the camera sensor itself, a choice that would allow for a better lens length, longer than a telephoto lens, with obvious improvements in terms of optical zoom).
The sensor on which Sony has been working since last year would allow for structures in which the pixels maintain or improve their properties, with the same dimensions, but also with smaller pixels.
