The iPhone 6S camera will have 12 megapixels, the pixel size will be small

iPhone 6S cameraiPhone 6S camera is one of the main topics of discussion related to the future product of the Apple company, and this is because the other days we learned a series of exclusive information about what this product is going to bring us. According to that information, iPhone 6S with 2 GB DDR4 RAM, A9 chip, Force Touch and 12 megapixel camera will be launched by the Apple company in the fall of this year, so now we are discussing the latter component.

The iPhone 6S camera will indeed have 12 megapixels, as the rumor told us, but it seems that the size of the pixels in the image sensor used by Apple will be smaller than many expect. Normally, an image sensor with large pixel size should record good pictures in low light conditions, but image sensors with small pixels do not offer as good quality.

The iPhone 6S camera is 12 megapixels, but it's not great

Apple has been using 8 megapixel cameras in smartphones since 2011 and has been heavily criticized by the uninitiated for avoiding the use of cameras with more megapixels, although in reality the quality of pictures and video clips has been greatly improved. If normally the large number of pixels of a camera does not guarantee that the recorded pictures will have a good quality, when it comes to the size of the pixels inside the camera, we are talking about a completely different story.

Apple has been trying for years to dramatically improve the image sensors in its iPhone terminals, and with the iPhone 6S camera it will clearly offer us an improvement over what we have now, but how big will the difference be? Apple is constantly looking for image sensor suppliers that offer the possibility of recording good photos in low light conditions, but for 2015 it could avoid offering an upgrade in this aspect.

Even if for now we are only talking about rumors related to the iPhone 6S camera, the intensification of the appearance of information denotes the fact that Apple is preparing the terminals to enter the final stage of verification and testing on the production line, the first units to be given for public testing to partners and engineers.
