Kuo: iPhone 13 Lineup to Feature Nearly Identical Wide Camera Lens as iPhone 12

13 looks like a stepping stone to 14. Thinking its going to be the same with the IOS as well

You don't say, Lol

As I'm sure the iPhone 14 is the stepping stone to 15...ayayay

but with periscope lenses the gap will become smaller.

In the end it is not so much about optics - but electronics, AI and (OK'ish) optics colluding to make great looking pictures. There will always be a market for professional grade cameras - but it is shrinking.

Maybe. Keep in mind, though, that phones aren’t the only thing with new technology. Some of the stuff they have on newer rigs I couldn’t have imagined just a couple years ago... I’ve been reading about the death of the SLR since the 1980s and have yet to see it happen

Phone technology curve has obviously been slowing down for a while.

It’s really all incremental from here....and it’s been this way for a while.

Incremental future updates will probably include previously abandoned technology like Touch ID and 3D Touch. And likely more attempts to democratize the product by offering lower cost options like a renewed “unapologetically plastic” iPhone for emerging markets (which would also free Apple up to adopt more upscale materials for “pro” series).

From looking at the utterly amazing pics taken on the macrumors iPhone 12 pro max thread , not sure they can really improve that much ? !
