200MP?!? Just have to wait and see. All the speculations is all good, but we will all know on the day of the reveal.
I honestly didn’t know that, I’ve only had the Pro models since the 12 😂😬Only available on Pro models, which I have no interest in, and I don’t want to have to add a whole workflow afterwards just to take some pictures. I simply don’t like how unnatural photos nowadays tend to look like.
200MP? How practical is that in reality? Or would that in combination with a similarly dramatic increase in optical zoom % make it possible to capture the cyber home Elon is building on Mars where he will flee in 2029?
I love my S25 Ultra precisely because of the cameras. It's almost like different strokes for different folksThere is very little practical use for the average user to have 200MP photos. Even in HEIF, they'd still weigh in at several hundred megs an image, so unless you opt for the TB storage option on your phone, enjoy all 36 photos you can take at that resolution 🤣
But. My Galaxy doesn't take grainy photos...I won't settle for anything less than 500MP. I don't want no grainy looking 200 or 300MP.
What I think makes more sense is to use the 200mp raw data to computationally improve a (48mp or 64mp) final image
Apple is testing a 200-megapixel camera sensor, according to Digital Chat Station, a user with a large following on Chinese social media platform Weibo. The account has previously shared accurate information about Apple's future products.

While the account's post today does not provide any further details, this 200-megapixel camera sensor would likely be for the main rear camera on a future high-end iPhone model. Samsung introduced a 200-megapixel rear camera on its Galaxy S23 Ultra in 2023, and the follow-up S24 Ultra and S25 Ultra models also have one.
With a 200-megapixel camera, an iPhone would be able to shoot photos with greater detail. The increased megapixel count would also result in higher-resolution photos, which can be cropped further and printed at larger sizes without a loss of image quality.
Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models are rumored to feature entirely 48-megapixel cameras, so the 200-megapixel camera is unlikely to be available this year. In addition, a 200-megapixel camera has yet to be rumored for the iPhone 18 Pro models. Ultimately, the upgraded camera specification could be at least a few years away.

I strongly suspect something like that will be the norm unless you actually select raw. Not only do most not need 200MP but it would eat up storage quickly.What I think makes more sense is to use the 200mp raw data to computationally improve a (48mp or 64mp) final image
HTC knew this very well and they wanted to make all customers understand."Megapixel" has, as a word, long lost real-world meaning. It is now all marketing fluff.
If you counted the actual photons going through the iris and hitting the silicon, you'll see how silly those claims are.
Photons are always, as a nature of photons, exhibit photo-count statistics, as in noise.
The sensor would be 200MP, not the photos unless you select raw mode200mp photos will fill up your iPhone and iCloud storage in no time = $$$
Wow so many things I didnt even know I needed or wanted. I have a 13 pro max, tell me again what im missing out with this next suggested rendition of the iPhone ??? crickets chirping in background

I know I'm in the minority, but I just don't care about the cameras, and there is nothing they can add in that department that would prompt me to upgrade. Sorry Apple, you need to do something more interesting.
..and my 12MP DSLR will smoke a 20MP or 200MP phone camera, from any manufacturer.
Yep, my 20 year old SLR absolutely smokes the iPhone camera. It wasn't even a massively expensive SLR either, I think $650 back then.I know I'm in the minority, but I just don't care about the cameras, and there is nothing they can add in that department that would prompt me to upgrade.
