Apple<\/a> may turn to Samsung to source camera sensors for its iPhone 18 series, according to claims by an industry analyst. At present, Sony is the iPhone maker’s primary supplier of CMOS image sensors (CIS) but that could change when the iPhone 18 series launches, speculated to be sometime in 2026. Notably, Apple is also rumoured to launch a foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 series, adopting a clamshell design which may be similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series.<\/p>\n

iPhone 18 Camera Leak<\/h2>\n

According to a post<\/a> on X (formerly Twitter) by TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will source the ultra-wide camera for its purported iPhone 18<\/a> series from Samsung. It is speculated to be a 1\/2.6-inch 48-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. This move is said to \u201cbreak\u201d Sony’s monopoly when it comes to supplying CIS sensors to Apple.<\/p>\n

To make sure the supply does not fall short, Samsung<\/a> has established a dedicated team catering to Apple, Kuo suggested. However, the analyst did not reveal if changes would be coming to the primary and telephoto sensors on the iPhone 18.<\/p>\n

This development builds upon reports that the Cupertino-based technology company is looking to bolster the camera systems on its smartphones. It has already been reported that Apple’s upcoming\u00a0iPhone 16 Pro<\/a> could feature the 5X telephoto lens which it debuted with the iPhone 15 Pro Max<\/a> last year. Additionally, the 12-megapixel ultra-wide shooter could be bumped up to 48 megapixels.<\/p>\n

A previous report<\/a> suggested that iPhone 17, which is speculated to come out next year, may sport a \u201cmechanical system\u201d for controlling the camera aperture. If it comes to fruition, it could allow the iPhone camera to create a better depth of field for achieving the bokeh effect.<\/p>\n

Foldable iPhone On the Cards<\/h2>\n

Apart from camera improvements, Apple is also said<\/a> to be developing plans for a foldable iPhone model that may debut with the iPhone 18 series in 2026. Unlike book-style foldable smartphones popular today, such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and OnePlus Open, Apple’s purported device could adopt a clamshell design.<\/p>\n

Kuo believes that this smartphone has an internal codename \u201cV68\u201d, and it has moved past the conceptual stage. The purported foldable iPhone may be an \u201cofficial product in development with suppliers\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
