iPhone 12 might have a startlingly high-spec rear camera, in very un-Apple move

iPhone 11
The iPhone 11 has a 12MP main camera. The iPhone XS has a 12MP main camera. The iPhone X has a 12MP main camera. See a pattern here? Well, that pattern might be broken in 2020, as it sounds like the upcoming iPhone 12 might have a whopping 64MP primary snapper.
This news comes from YouTube channel EverythingApplePro, but the information is from Max Weinbach, a prolific leaker. We're doubtful of the leak, for reasons we'll get into, but Weinbach has an impressive track record, so it could be true.
According to the leak, the iPhone 12 range will have the Sony IMX 686 sensor for the main camera, which is a 64MP sensor that's also used in the Oppo Reno 3 and Redmi K30. This is the main takeaway from the leak, but there's actually more.
Apparently, the phone will also support the impressive iPhone night mode not just from the main snapper but from its ultra-wide and telephoto snappers too. In addition, the ultra-wide snapper will facilitate a macro mode (like we've seen on the OnePlus 7T Pro). All these features sound plausible – it's just the main snapper we're dubious about.

?Will the iPhone 12 have a 64MP snapper

While some smartphone companies have raced to get high megapixel counts for their rear cameras, with Xiaomi and Samsung packing 108MP sensors into their devices, Apple has resisted – as previously stated, its phones from the last few years all have 12MP main cameras.
Instead, Apple has improved everything but the resolution, with bigger sensors and better post-processing software – some might argue this makes a higher pixel count unnecessary.
Even if Apple were to bump up the pixel count on the phone's main camera, 16MP or even 48MP would be a more restrained step up than the massive rise to 64MP. 
Saying that, Weinbach is an accurate leaker generally, so we can't say for certain the iPhone 12 won't have a 64MP snapper. We'll find out in September, when we're expecting the iPhone 12 range to launch, but stay tuned before that to follow all the leaks and rumors.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
