According to a recent leak, Apple may be introducing a revolutionary new sensor technology for its 2027 smartphone, potentially changing the game in smartphone photography.
Apple's Anniversary iPhone 20 to feature Apple-made LOFIC sensor
A blog post on Naver by Korean leaker yeux1122 suggests that Apple is planning to incorporate a new LOFIC sensor in the cameras of the iPhone 20 series.

Competition from Samsung and Other Brands
While both Oppo and Vivo are set to adopt the new technology through Sony's upcoming LOFIC sensors, Samsung has not shown immediate plans to integrate LOFIC into its Galaxy S26 series. This could potentially give Apple a technological edge over Samsung, marking a significant milestone in the smartphone industry.
