Please no more megapixels, can't use all the ones I have now. Also no lens gimmicks, just give me full manual control, that would be awesome.
You have manual control, iOS8 unlocked it.
There are a number of apps, Camera+ for example, full control of shutterspeed, focus, exposure and iso.
Color me old school - but I'm not a fan of a touch interface for all those controls. I don't like DSLRs or video cameras that have a touch interface too. Much prefer knobs, dials and buttons.

hummm 3D perhaps![]()
You want Apple to add a slew of archaic dials, knobs, and buttons to the iPhone. LMAO!Color me old school - but I'm not a fan of a touch interface for all those controls. I don't like DSLRs or video cameras that have a touch interface too. Much prefer knobs, dials and buttons.

Unsure if being goofy or troll.
No. You misunderstood me completely.
You stated that via apps, you can have full control over the iPhone's camera. My point is - I don't use my camera phone to make tons of adjustments. I pull out my camera and take pictures quickly. Sometimes I tweak a setting or two. But if I am going to take serious pictures where I want control over the settings, I don't use my phone because I don't like the interface and find it quite cumbersome to start adjusting everything.
The S model is always the one with camera upgrades. But maybe they'll just skip to iPhone 7.
I wonder if it's a 3D camera to go with a 3D screen... probably not.
It's interesting how 'HDR' has gone from being a style of photography to being a 'feature'.I personally would like an Image Sensor close to the level of a DSLR, 10+mp with improved IQ, HDR, Aperture, etc. Would also love the options to shoot in a Low, Med, High level of JPG quality and un/compressed files too.

I think 8MP is plenty "big" enough. Just keep working to improve the quality of photo. Taking 21 MP photos with your phone...what good does that do? The vast majority of people just post pics to facebook or twitter anyways. Who needs 13, 21, or 40 MP photos. But we all want better quality photos.

You need to be able to adjust on the fly, change focal points, metering mode, aperture etc... I can do all that on my DSLR in an instant because it's got a thoughtfully laid out set of knobs, dials and buttons and the settings are finite, i click on a dial = 1 increment of whatever setting. A slider on a touch screen is not precise enough.
Slight tangent, a few years ago I got to take a specced out Mercedes S500 for a drive and one of my lasting memories was the rotary control dial thing on the center console. It had really nice weight and motion with distinct 'clicks' as you scrolled through the options. What really stood out for me was the fact that it's range of movement changed with the options on the screen, if there were 3 options you got 3 clicks before you hit a nice firm resistance to tell you you'd reached the end of the menu. Move to a screen with 5 options and suddenly the dial has 5 clicks of motion before hitting the end stop.
Moral of the story, touch screens aren't the be all and end all of human computer interfaces which is why Apple have the Digital Crown on the Apple Watch!
Will the system be using saphire technology or liquid metal technology ?
It's simple: One protruding camera wobbles on a desk. But two protruding cameras opposite of each other fixes the wobble!![]()
So who says cameras are governed my physics? Yes, DSLRs will have the advantage of good Japanese or German glass. But camera phones have the enormous advantage of having an app, a powerful processor and a graphics processor on board, plus signal processing chops too. Soon enough, pro cameras will have to evolve as well to match the tricks of smartphones.
I first got a single lens reflex when I was 14. It's been sitting in my closet for a long time. It's a relic.
Care to state which laws of physics you are referring to? Physics wise there surely is no reason as to why a small lens cannot have as good optic quality? (Not withstanding that a larger lens allows a larger sensor which allows larger pixels and more light gathering ability.
Both true, though. What would a normal human being want with all those megapixels, and where would they store them?
I don't think you can invent something ten years after it was invented, but hey, with Apple I believe anything.
They really don't. It only works on stills on the 6+ doesn't it? I take pictures of my friends. If the shutter is low enough to be blurry without IS then it's not going to benefit me with IS anyway!
