Pop goes the main camera. Where does it come from? Half the rumors say iPhone 8, half say XR, and a third half say something else. That's way too many halves, so let's settle it with an old-fashioned lineup.

Left: iPhone SE. Middle: iPhone 8. Right: iPhone XR.

One thing's for sure, the SE's image sensor is physically smaller than that in the XR. It's probably an iPhone 8 sensor benefitting from A13 image processing.

Learn about the new tricks the A13 uses to make Portrait Mode photos happen on the iPhone SE in Halide's latest blog post.

Postscript: Our tests show the iPhone 8 camera works just fine in the SE, and vice versa.
