iPhone camera specs – What’s new?

At ReallyBad Apps, we are total geeks when it comes to iPhone camera specs. Since the new iPhones became available for purchase people are confused. The phones have similar names, different sizes, and prices that do not reflect the sizes. Here is our guide to the main differences of the iPhone camera specs.

The history of iPhone X

The first iPhone X came during the fall of 2017. The X is actually the roman numeral 10 and should, therefore, pronounce the name as “iPhone ten”. The camera is especially known for its double lenses on the back. In an article from Consumer Reports, the testers say that the camera of iPhone X is “the highest-rated smartphone camera Consumer Reports has tested”.

This fall, three new models where released. iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are newer versions of iPhone X. iPhone XR however, is a new model made to be more affordable and can be considered a simpler version of iPhone X.

iPhone camera specs

iPhone XS and XS Max contain the same camera hardware. The phones have dual 12MP wide-angle and telephoto cameras just like iPhone X in order to take HDR photos. The new versions have smart HDR instead of auto HDR which makes it possible to combine several photos into one. The main upgrade is the portrait mode, with its advanced bokeh and depth control. In English, this means that you can blur or sharpen the background afterward.

The iPhone camera specs for XR are slightly different. It only has one camera in the back which does impair the quality of the photos. iPhone XR has a zoom function that allows you to zoom up to 5x, the versions mentioned above has a 10x zoom. XR also has the portrait mode with advanced bokeh and depth control but a limited amount of portrait lightings.

Improved video recording

The digital zoom also differs when it comes to recording. The iPhone XR has a capacity of 3x zoom, and the XS model has a capacity of 6x zoom. An exciting new feature for all of the latest iPhones is the ability to record in stereo sound.

We all know that size matters when it comes to displays so that you can watch your recordings and photos comfortably. As the name suggests, iPhone XS Max is the biggest iPhone with a 6.5” Super Retina HD display. The display of the smaller sibling the iPhone XS is 5.8”, which is the same as the old iPhone X. The cheaper model, iPhone XR, has a 6.1” Liquid Retina HD display which gives a less exciting experience than Super Retina.
