No Apple says it will always stay with 8! I mean who needs more right?!?!?
Right, Apple also said it would never increase the size of the iPhone, who needed a bigger!?!?

Personally I'd rather have larger pixels and stick with 8MP, but 4K video is not entirely worthless on a bright sunny day.
I have used 3rd party apps to shoot 3K video with the current iPhone and the quality is significantly better than 1080p. Again, in optimal shooting conditions only.
You actually only need 9MP for 4K video, but the extra 3MP would allow for some image stabilization. If you shoot 3K with the current iPhone, no stabilization is possible.
I just hope it allows us to shoot at 16:9 instead of 4:3... I hate having to crop my 4:3 pictures into 16:9 and not have that wide angle view
It's a matter that beyond a certain threshold, it's stupid to add more pixels because they can't record meaningful information (due to diffraction induce by optics laws, due to base noise level induce by quantum physics...).
The size of the iPhone was not limited by the law of physics. It was just limited by market demands, and that can change with time.
On the other hand, the number of pixels on a sensor of a given size is limited by the laws of physics (optics and quantum physics) and they tend not to change with time. It's not a matter of needing more pixels or not.

Nokia has a 20 megapixel camera which is pretty high rated.......
I don't believe that optics are constrained by any size.
welcome to 2013 apple.

I hope it can come true, but it has been rumored since iPhone 4S.
It'll continue to improve, thanks to patents like this one.
so, your saying only so many pixels can be on a sensor, after that, you must make bigger sensors..
Must be why Apple has been kicking other camera's ass since before 2013 then... Please get a clue.
What cameras? I think that is subjective.people like you will always think iphones camera is the best mobile camera on the market.

If apple's camera is so great then just imagine the breath taking images it could take with a 12 or even 16 mega pixel camera.
By reading this thread it is obvious that if it was up to these folks Apple would still be using a 2 mp camera on iphones.
What about the front facing camera? 1.2 MP isn't cutting it anymore. 5 MP and 8 MP are becoming common. Wouldn't "selfie" camera functions sell more with the younger generation? A 5 MP camera with a wide camera lens would be great.

You kinda still need to have sufficient internal storage to upload the content. With the OS as it is currently, you can elect to only store a minimally sized version on your phone after the upload, but the initial size requirement is still there.
I hope that the new iPhone finally get an front LED Notification
How Apple bring the 4.7" screen to 1080p resolution at least. It been at the same resolution since iPhone 4!
