[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The camera specifications of the iPhone 12 Pro, set to be released this year, are expected to be significantly improved. It will be equipped with a 64-megapixel telephoto camera and enhanced battery specifications, but the notch design on the front display will be retained.


On the 5th (local time), according to IT specialist Twitter user Max Weinbach and others, Apple is preparing hardware improvements such as camera pixels and sensors for the iPhone 12 Pro.


The notch design, which started with the iPhone X, is likely to continue in the iPhone 12 series as well. Apple would need to develop technology to integrate Face ID into the top bezel to say goodbye to the notch, but there are considerable difficulties in implementing this technology. IT specialist media Phone Arena stated, "Twitter user Ben Geskin reported that Apple is developing an iPhone 12 Pro prototype without a notch, but it seems it will be introduced in the next iPhone."


The camera specifications will be greatly improved compared to the previous model. First, it is expected to be equipped with a 64-megapixel telephoto camera. The iPhone 11 Pro, which supported a triple camera, had a 12-megapixel main camera and 12-megapixel telephoto and wide-angle cameras. It is interpreted that Apple aims to raise the specifications so that the camera performance does not fall behind the Galaxy S20 Ultra and the soon-to-be-released Huawei P40. Along with this, the zoom function is also expected to be improved. Samsung implemented 10x optical zoom technology with a periscope method by overlapping sensors and camera lenses on the Galaxy S20 Ultra, but Apple is expected to improve the zoom function through software technology and digital crop methods like Google.


There is also a high possibility that night mode will be applied to the iPhone 12 Pro telephoto camera. The aperture of the wide-angle camera is planned to be improved to f/1.6, making it 35% brighter. The sensor will capture more light, allowing clearer photos even at night. With enhanced image stabilization, the focal length is also expected to improve compared to the previous model.



Starting this year, since the iPhone will support 5G, the battery capacity is also expected to increase significantly. The iPhone 12 Pro and Max will be released with 5G as the standard. Since 5G smartphones consume more battery, an increase in battery capacity is essential. Apple is expected to equip the iPhone 12 Pro Max with a 4400mAh battery. The battery of the iPhone 11 Pro Max is 3969mAh.
