quality of life?! Oh how far we've fallen lol48mp telephoto sensor would be an instant purchase for me. The bump in available detail would be a huge QOL update.
The telephoto in my 15 Pro Max has been good so far, but I do wish I had a larger resolution image at the end of it.
Yea, in 2035.I think the larger camera bump may allow Apple to install for the first time a periscope-type 10X optical zoom image sensor with 48 megapixel resolution.
"a huge number of people out there." are way past what they would ever know as better. They may think it's important, but it already works beyond what they care about.I think you're maybe speaking for yourself or a very small minority of people. The camera is an important feature to a huge number of people out there.
When people are wanting a phone recommendation, the first question I ask is "iOS or Android", then the next one is "how important is the camera?". A lot of people absolutely do factor the camera into their purchase decision.
Nope. The camera is a huge part of why people upgrade. I personally would’ve just kept using my iPhone 13 Pro if not for the camera improvements on later models.Make a better phone. We don't really care about the camera as much as they think. Because it seems that is all they ever really improve.
That's great. But you've missed the point entirely. They push the camera improvements in the phone release each year because there aren't seemingly enough other areas for innovation. Mostly because of Cook's lack of vision and their poor software development team. When they tout how great the camera improvements are, the minimally iterative improvements are meant to distract you from the fact that from the 13 to the 14 to 15 to the 16, you are essentially buying the same device. The 17 is likely going to follow suit.
Yeah there Apple 🍎 Intelligence push is forcing there hand 🤚 At this rate we may have 16gb of ram in the iPhone 18 Pro’s.Only 2 years ago 8gb of ram was enough for a computer. 🥲
Apple is a very giving company!!!!!!
For 12 MP output, a pixel-binned 48 MP sensor and a 12 MP sensor of the same area should have roughly similar base image quality, but the 48 MP sensor will have other advantages.I'd prefer lower resolution but better light capture (lower f-stop) so that less (Apple over-) processing is needed.
But it seems almost everyone just likes numbers to get bigger, so more pixels it is.
It's so your phone doesn't wobble as much when laying on a flat surface.I'm curious. What's the advantage of the rectangular camera bump?
2x optical zoom for the 1x would be great... wondering what they hide in that huge camera bump...Main camera improvements?
heard the sensor of the 5x will indeed be bigger. don't have the exact dimensions handy though.For 12 MP output, a pixel-binned 48 MP sensor and a 12 MP sensor of the same area should have roughly similar base image quality, but the 48 MP sensor will have other advantages.
Overall, moving to the 48 MP sensor is a plus. It is also possible they could increase the sensor size at the same time as well, but I don’t know what the rumour mill says about that.
or 3-5x optical@48mp for the tele... that'd be too good to be true... unfortunately.2x optical zoom for the 1x would be great... wondering what they hide in that huge camera bump...
The camera is all that needs improved. The rest is fine.Make a better phone. We don't really care about the camera as much as they think. Because it seems that is all they ever really improve.
It already has 2x optical zoom. I want better quality like 200mp or something2x optical zoom for the 1x would be great... wondering what they hide in that huge camera bump...
it does not have optical zoom. the 2x is just a 12mp crop of the 48mp from the 1x.It already has 2x optical zoom. I want better quality like 200mp or something

Spot on. I doubt the vast majority of iPhone owners even bother to look at photos they take with their phones on something other than their phones or tablets. Fewer still might see them on their computer. Fewer than that will print the photos. Fewer still might use the phone as part of a serious photography workflow. A 48MP photo viewed on an iPad might as well be 12MP for the vast majority of users."a huge number of people out there." are way past what they would ever know as better. They may think it's important, but it already works beyond what they care about.
