The upcoming iPhone 15 lineup is rumored to feature a new hybrid glass-plastic lens design for the rear camera. According to RGcloudS on Twitter the new lens is said to use a single glass element along with six plastic elements, which would be a first for iPhones.
Current iPhone models like the iPhone 14 use all-plastic lenses, but by incorporating glass, Apple can improve image quality and low-light performance. The lens may also have a wider f/1.7 aperture compared to f/1.79 on iPhone 14 Pro models, allowing more light capture.
