What are the chances that Apple will apply the same approach they use with the main camera—cropping the 48MP sensor to create a 12MP optical zoom—to the new 48MP sensor in the tetraprism lens?
If implemented, this could effectively provide a 10x optical zoom at 12MP, similar to how the 1x 48MP sensor produces a 2x 12MP image.
