  • Apple enthusiasts are abuzz with rumors of a "new camera bump" on the upcoming iPhone 15 lineup.
  • Insiders speculate that the bump could be due to a rumored 48MP camera or a change in design with a rounded back.
  • The iPhone 15 is expected to come in two display sizes and feature a Dynamic Island and USB-C port.
  • With disappointing sales of the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, a camera upgrade could help boost demand for the iPhone 15.
  • However, this is just a rumor and should be taken with caution. Regardless, the iPhone 15 is one of the most highly anticipated tech releases of 2023.

Apple fans are buzzing with excitement as a new rumor has emerged regarding the upcoming iPhone 15 lineup. A prolific Apple insider known as ShrimpApplePro, known for his accurate leaks, has hinted on Twitter that the iPhone 15 models (not the Pros) will feature a "new camera bump." The Twitter post has sparked a lively debate among the Apple community, with many speculating what this new bump could signify. Image credit: AppleInsider While the insider didn't provide any further details, there are a few possible explanations floating around. Some believe that the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus will inherit the 48MP camera of the current iPhone Pros, which could result in a different camera bump. Others are speculating that the new bump might be a result of a rumored change in design, with a rounded back.

The iPhone 15 lineup is said to come in two display sizes, matching the current iPhone 14 duo (6.1" and 6.7"). It's also expected to feature a Dynamic Island and a new USB-C port. As for the Pro models, there may be a 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro and a larger iPhone 15 Pro Max or iPhone 15 Ultra.

Following the disappointing sales of the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, the iPhone 15 models could potentially see some camera upgrades to encourage demand. With rumors of a 48MP main camera, the "new camera bump" could be a notable change in this year's models. Apple fans are eagerly anticipating what the tech giant has in store for its flagship iPhone series.

It's important to note that this is just a rumor and should be taken with a grain of salt. However, with the current lack of sales of the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus potentially due to the high asking price and lack of upgrades, it's possible that Apple may add another physical camera to the iPhone 15 lineup. Only time will tell what the tech giant has in store for us. Regardless, the iPhone 15 is already shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated tech releases of 2023.
