It’s still a long way to go until Apple’s usual iPhone launch month of September but it looks like iPhone photography fans will have a triple-camera setup to look forward to. A series of renders shared by @Onleaks in cooperation with digit.in shows alleged renders of a 2019 iPhone model with a Huawei Mate 20 Pro-style square camera setup, featuring three lenses.
Two of the lenses are vertically aligned, with the third lens offset to the right under the flash LED. It also looks like the phone’s rear panel is made from glass.
Onleaks notes the device is still in its EVT phase (Engineering Validation Test), so some design details are subject to change as we near the launch. We also don’t know what the function of the third camera will be, but with Huawei, LG and Samsung now all offering triple-camera smartphones with super-wide-angle and tele options, it’s likely Apple will want to go down the same route.
It’s still early in the year for new iPhone renders but @Onleaks has an excellent track record and is widely regarded a credible source, so there is a good chance one of the 2019 iPhones will look very similar to the renders. Given the latter are showing a triple-camera setup, were are likely looking at a top-end model here.
