The Panasonic CM1 had a 1" sensor and physical lens ring seven years ago... they didn't sell too many.

iPhone 15 to Use 'State-of-the-Art' Image Sensor From Sony for Better Low-Light Performance

Getting less excited about incremental camera upgrades. Why not put that focus into something innovative instead?
No. I always get odd yea iphones. So maybe I’ll wait for the 17 then. Naaaah. That’s too long to wait. It’s the 15 for me.
There is a very likely possibility I might skip this upgrade and wait for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The reason is, the iPhone 15 might introduce a new design and might have some kinks to work out. Also, if the iPhone X is still getting iOS updates, why not?
And obviously everyone knows that.
Today it's called (to continue that stupid social media meme) several new models.
Life goes on.
Looking to see major improvements in the camera of Pro/Ultra model.
That’s the cost of being mainstream. No company can spare themselves from this, not even Apple.
Those phones look amazing for photography. Unfortunately, Apple is not likely to lean in like this on one feature.
Sony TVs (and products in general) are great, however even they use LG panels for their OLED TVs.
I thought it said, "Excellent news, especially if you're into pornography!"
Which actually also would've been true.
That assumes that everyone who would have bought a regular iPhone is willing to pay more to get a Pro. A significant number will probably opt to not buy either then. that drops Apple’s sales volume and overall income. Not a good strategy.
While I’m impressed with what Apple and their SONY sensors have accomplished so far, a one inch sensor would be nice to have someday and a logical next step. Maybe the iPhone 16 Pro will get a one inch sensor along with a periscope lens that will most likely be exclusive to the 6.7” iPhone 15 Ultra.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Sony and hope they keep finding success. Their Vaio laptops were great, the PS series is amazing. They’re one of those companies that the world has really benefited from. Instead of just making products they continue to innovate and their technologies drive everyone else to be better. I hope they keep innovating. Always happy to see their success.
That 1” sensor is a joke. Even in a point and shoot camera it’s a tight fit. Technology has come a long ways. Sensor shifting with AI to handle things is a massive leap in capability. Go with lower megapixels so each pixel is larger and handles light/detail better. Instead of one pic the sensor shifts taking several at once then the AI merges everything. We no longer need to go with the “no replacement for displacement” theory.
Problem is, they don't look amazing as phones. I've already got great cameras. What I want is a phone with usable software, and a lens that I'm not always worried is going to get a scratch across it, because the phone is completely ridiculous.
I moved from the iPhone X to the 14 pro and I think the camera module is a joke. If apple Brought out a phone without a camera or lesser quality with a small Lens I would have it as the bump is just to big. It will be the last iPhone I will buy until they can sort that joke out what ever new things they add it will not make me buy one until that’s has been reduced.
That is true, the base displays are from LG, but Sony tweaks them all with their own processing and I think whatever they do ends up being richer and sharper and just overall a bit better than Samsung or anyone else. I guess it’s all subjective, I used to help sell TV’s for Best Buy and what looked great to my eyes (the Sony’s), sometimes people would choose a Vizio or a Samsung and to me they looked much worse. 🤷🏻♂️
