24MP selfie camera in the iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max?

Warning: this rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, as the "leaker" in question doesn't have the reputation of other insiders we frequently cite on our site. A 24MP selfie camera rumored for 2025, finally coming in 2026? In any case, someone called ApplesClubs on X claims that the selfie camera on the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will have a 24MP resolution, compared to 18MP on the current 17 Pro/Max. Such an improvement in specifications would allow for smoother FaceTime functionality, greater sharpness, and better low-light photos. Again, the "leaker" doesn't cite any specific sources, but you never know. Indeed, the renowned Ming-Chi Kuo was wrong in predicting a 24MP sensor on the iPhone 17. The improvement may therefore have simply been delayed for this year's models.
