Woaah Woooaaah! Hold your horses man! You're expecting too much common sense from Apple
To be honest I’ll be ignoring the 48mp setting in future as I don’t need the resolution to be that high. My DSLR takes pictures at 10mp and they are good enough to be blown up to A3. It’s a nice have on a phone don’t get me wrong, but not entirely necessary. I’m more interested in the lens quality rather than the amount of pixels that are mostly artificially duplicated anyway.
Apple is always striving to give customers more for less. These additions will really improve quality of life for iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus customers.
Guys, don't fall for this feature. Because I fell for it.
Nearly everything I take with my 14 Pro ends up being 12 Megapixels. You don't decide.
The use cases where it will be 48 Megapixels are almost non-existent. You have to be outside, during the summer, on a non-cloudy day, and not under a shadow.

I thought it’s was ‘less for more’ in recent years or have I missed the sarcasm? lol
I think also a slimmer device like narrower it could benefit, I can't stand how wide the iPhone pro max line is, whereas the Sammys are too comfortable in the hand. giggiddy
You can’t sense pressure without movement. And if you have movement you can’t be ‘solid state’.
It isn't truly 48 Mpixel because of the lens' limitations and the quad Bayer sensor. After my comparing it to my Nokia 808 (the 42 Mpixel normal Bayer 808 is a little bit better mostly because it's not quad Bayer), I bet it's effectively around 30-35 Mpixels. However, this resolution advantage is present even indoors, except for low light when the ISO needs to be increased.
the stock Camera app does - I use it exclusively and sometimes take 1000-1500 48 Mpixel Raws a day.
No. Every Apple product gets better with every categorical refinement. You always get more when you update to the latest and greatest product experience from Apple.
iPhone Mini user - what I'm most interested in is if the smaller bezels on the phone equate to a smaller device footprint, and if they can lighten up on the weight of the device. I love my Mini, there's just a few things like the battery and macro lens that make me want to upgrade. But dang the size of the Mini is perfect, will be hard to give up!
Useless money spent on useless features.
90hz display or high frequency Pwm OLED or even a 5.8 mini pro would do better than whatever 48mp dumbass camera

You're not getting more product for less money though, just incremental improvements with an annual price increase. The mobile phone product market is at such a mature stage, the frequency in upgrades has dropped off compared to say 2008-2014 during the smartphone feature race where vast improvements came every single year. Back then retail pricing was considerably more static then we see now too. Sorry I thought you were being sarcastic with what looked like a copy and paste out of the Apple Marketing manual. I can see by your second sentence in this reply that I was mistaken lol.
Hopefully they will get another significant price increase too to further demonstrate the superior perception owning a Pro model gives those of us lucky enough to flash one.
You learn something new every day! I thought you could click, just not move the mouse around
If one has a iphone and a mac - why getting an android? and i think megapixels doesn't mean the pic is better.Forget “48-megapixel lens”. 200-megapixel lens exists.

Samsung Announces New Galaxy S23 Ultra With 200-Megapixel Camera
Samsung today announced the launch of its latest flagship smartphones, the 6.1-inch Galaxy S23, the 6.6-inch Galaxy S23+, and the 6.8-inch Galaxy S23...www.macrumors.com
You’re right and it seems to be a trap smartphone users now are falling into much like the digital camera crowd did back in 2004.
Exactly. I think there was this discussion those days about the pro phones. no photograph will use a iphone for business pics. same here. 200 megapix will make the pic just bigger, no better. Apple proofed already few times, that they'r phones are no1 (4 personal use). 💪
Whatever happened to the megapixel myth?
Sure, Apple campaigned against the megahertz myth in the 1990s. But what does the average user gain when more megapixels actually can mean larger file sizes?
Why does anyone really care about more MPs? They do NOT assure better quality. Ultimately, the sensor size may have more value than pixel density.
Even so, I'm tired of my 128GB phone running out of storage, largely due to videos, photos and even voice memos (and AppleOne isn't worth the added cost - and too limited IMO for photo and video storage anyway).
