Given the iPhone 20\u2019s symbolic importance as Apple\u2019s 20th-anniversary model and its expected design overhaul, it would have been a fitting platform for introducing the company\u2019s first in-house image sensor. However, the latest leak indicates that this milestone camera upgrade may instead arrive a year later, shifting the LOFIC debut to the 2028 iPhone lineup.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">For the uninitiated,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Huawei-Pura-80-Ultra-tipped-to-launch-as-custom-camera-smartphone-with-new-HDR-tech.1010992.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">LOFIC enables a sensor<\/a> to store excess charge from bright regions in lateral capacitors, preventing highlight clipping and improving tonal range. In practice, this design enhances both low-light performance and dynamic range, resulting in more natural highlight and shadow detail.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">If accurate, this roadmap indicates that Sony and Samsung may commercialise LOFIC sensors before 2027, while Apple will integrate the technology later via its in-house CIS. It also reinforces the ongoing shift from resolution competition toward dynamic-range and architecture innovation in mobile photography.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">As of now, none of the three companies has officially confirmed the details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Previously, we&#8217;ve covered reports suggesting that Apple\u2019s first LOFIC-equipped sensor would debut in the 2027 \u201canniversary iPhone,\u201d now&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":174506,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[257],"tags":[311,1820,99417,90427,18,1821,19,99416,17,1815,99415,279,1819,1814,11014,1822,1818,1142,1143,1470,25390,4517,82,1817,1816,16899],"class_list":{"0":"post-174505","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-benchmarks","10":"tag-camera-leak","11":"tag-digital-chat-station","12":"tag-eire","13":"tag-graphics-card","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-image-sensor","16":"tag-ireland","17":"tag-laptop","18":"tag-lofic","19":"tag-mobile","20":"tag-netbook","21":"tag-notebook","22":"tag-oppo","23":"tag-processor","24":"tag-reports","25":"tag-review","26":"tag-reviews","27":"tag-samsung","28":"tag-smartphone-camera","29":"tag-sony","30":"tag-technology","31":"tag-test","32":"tag-tests","33":"tag-vivo"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115529751063609264","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=174505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174505\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/174506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=174505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=174505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=174505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
