According to multiple websites, it appears that the rear camera on the next generation of Apple's iPhone will be a 12MP shooter, which will be a big increase from the 8MP camera that is currently present in the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus.

Apple will allegedly use a sensor built by Sony for the new shooter and will also deploy Sony's RGBW technology to help with low-light photography. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus both make use of 8-megapixel sensors with larger-than-average pixels designed to improve light sensitivity but the new RGBW technology just needs an extra white subpixel to achieve a similar effect.

The addition of a white sub-pixel allows for improved camera performance when lighting is not optimal. Furthermore, rumor has it that the autofocus speed will be faster, as well, probably with the use of phase detection.

The new device is expected to be called the iPhone 6s, and among new features it has been rumored that it will come with support for Force Touch, the pressure-sensitive control system introduced with the Apple Watch.
