Apple’s latest iPhones – iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max were launched recently with a 48MP primary camera, but the default camera sensor is 24 megapixels, an increase from 12 megapixels on last year’s Pro models. Now, according to the latest information, Apple now has a suggestion of using the default 24MP camera mode to make the most of the iPhone 15 Pro models.
Apple 24MP default camera statement
“Because when shooting at 24-megapixels, we shoot 12 high and 12 low — we actually shoot multiple of those — and we pick and then merge. There is, basically, a bigger bracket between the 12 high and the 12 low,” Cormack explained to PetaPixel.
