What began as minor leaks had been later corroborated by a number of sources. With that, we now know Apple is lastly ditching its present digicam module design and switching to a digicam bar on the again. It’ll have three foremost 48MP lenses in addition to the LiDAR scanner, microphone, and flash on the opposite aspect of the telephone.
