For context: The iPhone 8 has one lens with 5x digital zoom, while the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X have two lenses with 2x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom. Other than that, there's not much we know about this mysterious third-generation iPhone X.

If this report is accurate, the third-generation iPhone X would have a significantly more powerful camera, especially considering that the TrueDepth camera on the current iPhone X is the only camera on the market with the sensory technology necessary to power Face ID.

But don't get too excited yet: KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has predicted that the phones coming in 2018 will retain the dual-camera setup. In the meantime, if you just can't wait for three lenses, check out Huawei's P20 Pro.
