Apple Again Rumored to Bring 5x Telephoto Camera to iPhone 16 Pro

[frownface]

Funny you mention this - I had old Apple keynotes playing as background noise while working on something the other day, and Phil Schiller got my attention when he started going on and on about how anyone can make a bigger phone, and only Apple could make one so compact and powerful as the iPhone 5. Just over a decade ago.

Yeah it's amazing human biology evolved exactly in the last 10 years to form larger hands with thinner, pointier sandpapered fingers because before that we couldn't use larger phones or smaller ipads.

Ironically (or maybe not) steve jobs himself said no one would buy a big screen phone (or a smaller ipad) to justify their lack of screen size options not too long ago. Funny how the world changes in a decade or so.

Steve Jobs used to say a lot things that ‘he wanted’ but was completely out of touch with the market back then though. The size of the phone being a prime example.

Not a big camera buff, can someone explain how this compares to Galaxy 24?

Stagnation isn’t mature.
Rather than innovate they stick with what’s affordable and guaranteed to make the shareholders a return.
No more experimentation.
They don’t gamble in this tablet and phone segment anymore.
They went all in on a headset 0.001% of the human population purchased.

I wouldn’t want to be the guy who pushed this idea at the next meeting. Well I would be more worried about the guy who pushed FineWoven.

Please give me a list of the gambles and experiments they've done please. With dates.

Given that you don't work for Apple you have no idea what their intentions are.

Don’t work FOR Apple… but have been a shareholder for 15 years.
And not pocket change.
My wife and I have developed applications for IOS and MacOS since 2013.

Apple is changing. Apple is loosing segments they wouldn’t have a decade ago.
People have less money to spend. And they are quickly figuring out that they can spend a fraction of the money to complete the same exact tasks. And it’s happening in large numbers.

My wife has lost about 110,000 users for the small platform applications she has developed in the last year.
There isn’t a competitor for what she makes on the macOS or IOS store.
Nothing.

Yet there is on the android and windows side. And when you loose 5% of your user base in a year. And start developing on the android/ Windows side.
And that 5% in loss on iOS/MacOs
Is completely overshadowed by 20% of her income by those who left to another platform ( that she also now develops on)
She’s making 20% MORE off the android,Windows platform for the equivalent of 20% of her Apple user base.

We don’t work for Apple no.
But we have closely in the past, and continue to be part of a large community of developers trying to continue to innovate while apples innovation slows to a crawl.

Okay, I thought as much. Thanks for confirming it.

It's always when people complain that Apple never innovates every year anymore when that's never been the case in their history.

Okay. So that's not answering my question at all and instead tossing out random mostly irrelevant facts.

So you have shares and a lot of them. This is completely meaningless regarding knowing what Apple is doing internally.

Apple does not, never has, ever, innovate every single year. At a certain point, the changes are going to be primarily iterative in all products.

What more at this point, given current technology can they do the screen?

The camera improves year over year, and the differences there are clear.

The camera.
Yet somehow the camera in the 15PM shoots worse than the 14PM?

Really?
Minor speed bumps and a camera.
That’s marketing genius!
People are vein, they want new, change.

When you make the same thing over and over again…. People look elsewhere for that change.
