Apple's 2018 iPhone could bring in an major camera upgrade Sep 7th 2017, 16:39, by Roland Moore-Colyer Credit: Apple Despite Apple being mere days away from revealing the iPhone 8, the rumour mill is already churning on the tech 2018's iPhone will have, including a boosted camera spec.  The iPhone 9, or potentially iPhone 8S, could have much higher resolution lens modules if reports from Digitimes on Cupertino's supply chain are accurate. Apple will apparently use Taiwanese company Largan Precision to make the camera lenses, given it is one of the few suppliers that can handle production of such parts in the volumes needed for new iPhone releases. And the rumours come at a time when Largan Precision has a new factory due to open in October with the capacity to deliver a monthly production of 600 million lens modules. With a new manufacturer comes rumours of an upgraded camera for 2018's iPhone, which will take the megapixel count beyond the 12MP found in the cameras on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The current iPhone 7 camera delivers strong results but come 2018 it will be well due for a full upgrade. The iPhone 8, due to be announced September 12, could potentially bring in some camera tweaks, with a strong chance of the phone making use of the dual camera array found in the iPhone 7 Plus for all models of the phone. But Apple is not likely to give the lens a massive boost in resolution this year, rather Tim Cook's crew has probably tweaked the software behind the camera and changed the hardware layout to have the dual camera array orientated vertically rather than horizontally, or at least renders based on leaked information suggest that design change. Augmented reality (AR) could be the main camera focus of the iPhone 8, particularly as some companies are already tapping into the iPhone's AR potential facilitated by Apple's ARKit in the forthcoming iOS 11.
