Apple’s iPhone Problem: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus could be delayed because of 48MP camera

It seems that Apple is having the same issue with the production of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus that it had with iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. We are of course talking about the updated camera package that is headlined by a 48MP camera sensor.The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max received a significant camera upgrade featuring a 48MP main sensor last year. It was after years that Apple updated their camera at a hardware level in 2022. Analyst Jeff Pu had earlier suggested that this camera upgrade would eventually trickle down to the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models.Also read: iPhone 15 Ultra dummy appears online, shows some major design changes Apple may have gone forWhile Apple is still believed to be planning on implementing this upgrade to even the base versions of the upcoming iPhone series, there is a possibility of a delay for the more affordable iPhone 15 models due to a potential issue with camera components.In his May analyst newsletter for Haitong International Securities, Pu reiterated several predictions about the iPhone 15 lineup.
