It is being widely reported that tech giant Apple will be launching at least one iPhone model with triple camera lens system in the second half of 2019. Even though Apple’s 2018 iPhone models haven’t been launched yet, speculations and rumours for the 2019 models have started including about the Apple triple camera setup.

It has been reported by Taipei Times, that according to Yuanta Securities analyst Jeff Pu, a 2019 iPhone model will have an Apple triple camera setup.

Even according to an Economic Daily News report, the Apple triple camera is speculated to feature a 6P lens design with up to 5x zoom. It is also speculated to have one 12-megapixel sensor. It is also being speculated that the third lens will support 3x optical zoom.

If this turns out to be true, it will be the first time an iPhone model will have 3x optical zoom and 2x optical zoom packed together.

Recently CAD renders of the iPhone SE 2 got leaked. The source of the CAD files is not verified. There is a chance that they could be fake.

According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (published by Chinese website Feng, the model will use “Cover Glass Sensor”(CGS) technology. It will relocate the device’s touch module from the display panel to the surface glass. The CGS procedure allegedly leads to a display that is shock resistant and more lighter.

It is being speculated that 3D Touch could soon be removed be from all future iPhones. This could happen as Apple plans to integrate CGS into future iPhones. Kuo hasn’t revealed anything about the thin-film sensor. It will obviously be a replacement for 3D Touch. Apple is speculated to release iPhones in the next few years with touchless gesture controls. This move by Apple for the 2018 6.1-inch iPhone model could be the first step towards its objectives. The film sensor is probably an input method.

Chinese company Huawei has already integrated the triple camera setup its latest Huawei P20 Pro; world’s first phone with a triple camera setup.
