Apple\u2019s next-generation iPhone 18 series is expected to feature a significant front camera upgrade, according to a new equity research note from JP Morgan, (first spotted by MacRumors)<\/i>. The report suggests that all flagship models in the lineup will include a 24-megapixel front-facing camera, up from 18 megapixels on the current iPhone 17 series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The jump could represent a notable improvement for Apple\u2019s selfie camera<\/a> technology, promising sharper images, enhanced low-light performance, and more detailed portrait shots. If accurate, the upgrade will likely apply across the iPhone 18, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Air 2, and Apple\u2019s first-ever foldable iPhone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The current iPhone 17 range introduced Apple\u2019s \u201cCenter Stage\u201d front camera, featuring the company\u2019s first square-shaped sensor. This design delivers a wider field of view, enabling users to capture more detail whether shooting in portrait or landscape mode.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n While early rumours had suggested a 24-megapixel sensor<\/a> for the iPhone 17 lineup, the feature ultimately did not materialise. Still, the 18-megapixel upgrade on the 17 series was a meaningful step forward. If Apple adopts a 24-megapixel sensor next year, it would mark one of the biggest jumps in selfie camera resolution in recent iPhone history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Perhaps most intriguingly, JP Morgan\u2019s report claims that Apple\u2019s upcoming foldable iPhone<\/a> will likely be equipped with an industry-first 24-megapixel under-display camera built into the device\u2019s inner screen. This may allow for a seamless display without a visible camera cut-out \u2014 a design milestone for Apple.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In contrast, Apple\u2019s lower-cost models are expected not to receive the same camera improvements. The second-generation iPhone 17e and the third-generation iPhone 18e<\/a> are both anticipated to continue using a 12-megapixel front-facing camera.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nFrom \u201cCenter stage\u201d to next-gen imaging<\/strong><\/h2>\n
