Excuse me but who the heck needs “significantly improved low light performance”? It is pretty good already Apple, thank you! How about a significant <— yes, SIGNIFICANT bump in raw resolution (as in megapixels)? The ancient iphone 6S had a 12 mp sensor and so does the iphone 12. Competing products are far to lightyears ahead!

Because, with the microscopic sensors and lenses used in phones megapixels is the last thing that matters.
Marketing loves megapixels because the clueless and uniformed love it.

I thought the rumours pointed to no significant camera updates for the next couple of years?
 
I bought the Pro for its cameras, but I wish I could say I used the ultra-wide more. My primary reason for buying the Pro over the non was its inclusion of the zoom, which is far more practical in everyday use. Word is they'll be adding more reach to the zoom down the line, which will likely be my next upgrade.
I have the 12 Pro Max and could not really care about the ultra-wide. I don’t use that lens for more than 1% of photos. Nearly all my photos are with either using the standard (60%) or tele (40%) lens

who said that? Kuo said no major changes to the main lens. that doesn't mean no improvements.

The big improvements will be ultra wide this year and telephoto in 2022
 
The iPhone 12 Pro Max camera is brilliant. It's only going to get better.

I'm guessing the Periscope Camera Module will be available in 2022 iPhone series.

Great camera yes.

no need for Periscope ... far too much builk for the slim design of the 12 series. I still think an advancement of an electro-oil film (kinda rudimentarily similar thought of how performance car shocks work - changing viscosity of dampers with electricity; but to control the curvature of the oil film effectively creating optical zoom) is better.
