The fairly nifty sensor-shift optical image stabilization feature could be en route to each model in the iPhone 13 lineup this year.
Per DigiTimes, the feature, which is only found on the iPhone 12 Pro Max model, could be seen from the low to the high end of the iPhone 13:
“Apple’s next-generation iPhones slated for launch in the second half of 2021 will all come with sensor-shift stabilization technology, according to industry sources,” the story preview reads.
Additional rumors have also indicated that at least two iPhone 13 models will be equipped with sensor-shift stabilization, and that LG Innotek is expected to remain the supplier of the necessary components.
Apple first debuted the sensor-shift stabilization feature on the Wide lens of the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The feature stabilizes the camera’s sensor, as opposed to its lens, for greater image stabilization and improved photo quality. It’s unclear if sensor-shift stabilization would remain limited to the Wide lens on all iPhone 13 models.
Prior to this, the feature was only available on DSLR cameras, according to Apple.
As always, stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
