I have not seen any reviewer taking a picture like what I said. You can try it by yourself. Try take a picture of someone with bright background light.

Why on earth would they go to 16MP, let alone 21MP. At most they'd go to 12MP if they can keep the picture quality up. Not sure if its even possible.
Hate to break it to you, but Apple probably doesn't learn about new chips that its suppliers have been working on by reading about the announcement on MacRumors.
Seriously, I'm tired, there are litterally 100 reviews that says the opposite of what you say. Talking to you is useless if your not able to go look for them.
Its probable that Apple will use all those same techs... But in a smaller sensor. I think they'll possibly to to 10MP next. They have enough volume that sony can custom make one for them ;-). But I wouldn't bet big money on Apple going bigger. They"ll only do it if it objectively improves the photo.
Nah, neckbeards use Windows and play tons of computer games and live in Foothill (not sure if anyone will get that).
Actually, I'm with you on that. I prefer the size of the iPhone 4, but did upgrade to the 5s. I'm personally not a fan of the size of the 6, though I can see why lots of people love it.
...full of noise even at ISO200.Megapixels matter far less to me than sensor size, and light sensitivity.
Say hello to 10-20mb image file sizes!
So, its Apple's fault, the IOS camera is hinded when they use the same parts.
I wouldn't be surprised on that one.
Apple first leaves photographers in the dark on desktop..... so it's understandable.
Plus, it would force those customers to buy a actually camera, and not just use the phone in your pocket (if Apple only allowed 16Megapixels in an iPhone 5s,6 and/or 6 Plus)

OK This page has a comparison of all iPhone cameras. Unfortunately, the author did not take the picture of backlit like I described.

Where does this come from? Not that long ago people were using single digit MP DSLRs to make poster size prints. What are you cropping? A single grain of sand from a photo of a beach? This sounds like CSI level megacrop.
The reason smartphone photos don't crop well isn't the MP, it's the lack of fine detail due to the strained optics.
I don't care at all about megapixels. Who wants huge file sizes on a phone at this point? I'll take 21 megapixels in a 4-5 years when storage increases again, upload speeds increase (for cloud storage) and the sensors and lenses get better. Apple has been incredibly smart thus far in keeping the camera at 8 MP and focusing on improving the sensors and the lens. Let's hope they keep it that way.
This has nothing to do with low light. (actually every review, even the one you posted, shows, that the 5, but especially 5s improved low light performance).
It has do to with dynamic range (backlit situations are to much for every sensor out there) and metering. Meter for the head and let the highlights blow. this way you get the facial expression but everything around it is just white
I like to break it to you that future Macs which will include the Broadwell chips are also already in R&D, even if they are not yet currently produced, with or without prototype confirmation. The MBA '13 was not released long after the Haswell introduction and camera elements are not too hard to include f you know what you're dealing with.
Next year they'll be highlighting that the lens protrudes 33% less than last year.
Funny people's still talking about MP, or any photo attributes, as a stand-alone quality these days. Matter to who? Does iPhone tiny len can resolve 21 M. resolution?
Sonny is also a competitor. Let's not forget also that even Ivy mentioned that the 'inspiration' behind the iconic iPhone 4 / 5 designs is Sony
Very poor assumption.
A 21megapixel sensor, has much smaller pixels than a 10megapixel sensor. Meaning much less surface area per pixel for light. Meaning more noise.
An increase in MP while maintaining approximate sensor size typically decreases quality.
If Apple do add a 4K camera to the iPhone, will they up the 5GB of storage we get with iCloud, so we can store the videos there?
Nope. They want you to pay for iCloud. If apple cared about your device filling up with crap they wouldn't sell a 16GB model at all.
