I don’t believe it, as the aesthetic is too uneven with the LIDAR being off center
would produce an odd looking cut-out in IPhone cases.

Leaker Shares Details on 'iPhone 13' Camera [Updated]

As a travel writer/blogger who uses the iphone as my main travel camera, news of camera upgrades on the iphone always interest me. I was just excited about the ultra wide angle camera getting night mode in the next iphone plus the addition of the LiDar camera for more accurate shallow depth of field and background blurring effects in portrait mode. So this leak of even bigger camera updates coming in the iphone 13 is exciting. However, that seems like a big leap for apple to go from 12 megapixels sensors to over 40. So i’d take this rumor with a HUGE grain of salt.
What would be the point of making the video capture lens 64 MP?
Shouldn't it be at most 35 or so (if it will be 8K capable) since the individual pixels being larger on the same sensor area would actually server better for low light and noise?
I'd rather have it 12 MP and 4K120p capable instead of 8K though 😔

3D product design renderings are getting more and more impressive.
1) Please link to that market research article, you got me interested. To the point, the iPhone cameras were terrible for photos until at least the iPhone 4 and improved from there.
2) As the tech of smartphones comes to a plateau the camera and display are some of the few differences these devices can have amongst their competition. The camera companies are both much smaller and much less experienced in the computational fields to push their existing DSLRs much - which are a leftover design from the film days anyway. Cameras in smartphones have been sufficient for most users for many years already and the old camera companies feel this every year. The point and shot dedicated camera market is dead already and newer mirror less design cost more every year.
It’s much easier to craft lenses that are round. The construction process I believe includes lots of tooling and polishing which is likely much easier to achieve consistency with in a round form.
How long would you like the ugly camera bump to be? I rather have the back of the devices flush - without having to purchase a case to achieve that.
I always use a case so it doesn't/wouldn't bother me. If anything, the notch is the ugly thing.
We are going back to 2012.. soon we will have built in point and shoot cameras with a zoom built into the back of the phone! EXCITING TIMES!!
I’m a little confused by this line - you say “triple-lens camera”, implying it’s not triple camera. Is it one sensor with multiple lenses?

Me too, I’d rather they just made the whole phone thicker to accommodate the cameras. They can will it with battery. And then make it smaller in other dimensions!
iPhone 6 was the thinnest. Thinner has been out since 2014. That’s 6 years ago.
Customers want better cameras. It’s not as if Apple has gone rogue and is offering better cameras than people want.
While skeptical about this, the potential addition of an anamorphic lens would make it an insta-buy for me (right now using the XS Max). I’ve had so much fun with Moment’s anamorphic lens, so having it integrated in the phone would be amazing. It is surprisingly awesome for photos too, not only for videos.
