<p>As with the iPhone X and XS, one lens would be wide-angle and the other telephoto, <em>Mac Otakara</em> said on Friday, <a href="http://www.macotakara.jp/blog/rumor/entry-37401.html">citing</a> information from Chinese suppliers. The current XR has a single wide-angle lens, identical to recent base level iPhone offerings. </p>
<p>Traditionally Apple has used telephoto lenses for two purposes, the first being 2x optical zoom instead of digital enlargement. The second, though, is <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/02/07/new-iphone-xs-iphone-xr-ad-sells-portrait-modes-background-blur">Portrait Mode</a> photos accomplished in the iOS Camera app — the telephoto becomes the primary lens, while the wide-angle captures depth data used to isolate the subject and simulate DSLR-style bokeh. </p>
<p>The XR employs specialized algorithms to achieve a similar Portrait effect, but the resulting image is zoomed-out and not necessarily as accurate as its XS counterpart.</p>
<p>Multiple reports have <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/04/26/iphone-xi-iphone-xi-max-renders-suggest-little-difference-from-iphone-xs-family-other-than-camera">pointed</a> to flagship 5.8- and 6.5-inch “XI” and “XI Max” OLED iPhones coming with a triple-lens camera, the third lens possibly being a <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/04/18/2019-iphone-predicted-to-have-triple-lens-camera-with-super-wide-lens-improved-selfie-camera">super-wide</a> unit. <em>Mac Otakara</em> added that two out of three lenses/sensors may be used as common parts to keep costs down.</p>
<p>Separate design changes may include iPad-style mute switches and the use of 3D-molded rear glass, even covering the phones’ larger camera bumps. That same all-glass design is expected with the dual-camera XR successor, which could rely on a familiar 6.1-inch LCD screen, the report said.</p>
<p>It is also possible that the new phones will include USB-C to Lightning cables and 18-watt USB-C power adapters, but keep Lightning as their wired data type.</p>
