Don't overlook the fact that the competition already has a three camera phone out called Huawei P20 Pro. And, if it wasn't for Samsung popularizing the phablet iPhones would still be stuck on 3.5".

That's a fair point. It's still amazing what we have in our hands, but I just don't see general consumers getting too excited about the majority of hardware features. Google definitely has some software skills, but I still feel Apple have set themselves up better for the future. Google is playing catch up in a lot of ways by trying to establish more control over their ecosystem. If they can do this though, they'll slowly chip away, but Apple won't be standing still either.
You're giving Samsung too much credit. This rumor is only a response to the 3 lens iPhone rumor from a month ago. Samsung doesn't take any chances when they can have Apple do the marketing research for them.
Number of lenses is the new blades in a razor 
I don't know. Wearables were not very popular until the Apple Watch. If you look at the AW as a part of the wearable market, it has made them matter.

But... those three will be far superior to Samsung's 15 or 20 lenses.
As a keen photographer I know that cheap lenses can ruin an image. The quality of images taken using top quality glass are noticeably better than with cheaper lenses. I've done a lot of testing in the past on this very matter.
How about starting your own website and save us the belly aching?
It is after all, MacRumors: News and Rumors You Care About. That "You" is the generalized you, not the rodpascoe you. I'd safely bet this thread will end in the 7+ range of pages of comments. That's a lot of "You" that have an interest. Just not so much you.The only problem is that Google's single lens approach doesn't allow for realtime portrait mode. Maybe faster processing will help address this in the future but for now, hardware does make a difference to some.
Samsung's "innovations" never work quite right. That's what happens when you rush garbage to market. Ever use a Note 4's answer to TouchID?
Have you seen AR Emoji?
How about the following:
Samsung computers?
Samsung laptops
Samsung OS
Samsung is still working on Tizen phones
Samsung SDK
Samsung SDK (Tizen)
Samsung Developer Conference
Samsung SDC
Samsung App Store
Samsung Galaxy App Store
GPUs, well not yet but there is this form June 2018 :
Why would Samsung want its own GPUs?
Nothing on CPU or video encoders/decoders however the point is even though some of the areas listed may not be Apple level, you are incorrect on certain aspects of your post.
However you are right on this: Samsung is not a credible competitor to Apple.
Apple doesn't build ships.
And since you didn't limit your comment to mobile, ships is fair game.

A bunch of haters.
Notify me when Apple will do something similar to this. Oh, I forgot Apple doesn't develop it's only camera sensors and camera hardware in general like Samsung does.

You do know Huawei did it first and it's them Samsung is copying, right?

Stop with all this logic and facts
I counter with the slowing pace of megapixels. We saw rapid increase of megapixel count in cell cameras then suddenly stabilized to 12-20mp. Why? Because it’s about quality not numbers.
About 4yrs ahí a small tech firm was creating and trialing a smartphone camera that (under glass outer lens) used an oil with electrical current passed through it to change the surface tension. Making the tiny film oil to curve much like the human eye for a clearer and sharper Zoom over digital zoom. I cannot recall the company or what happened to development but I feel this is a better way to go along with more dense pixels and larger processor for better quality photos and videos over just adding another camera.
Another reason to fight 3 cameras on the rear? Li-ion battery life and current technology and space in iPhones. Too little capacity for me.
Or you could do a little bit of research before you post a stupid comment so that we don't have to laugh at you.

Or Huawei

Then by that stretch it could post absolutely anything whatsoever then? So why call it Macrumors then?
I've been a member of this website for 12 years and it used to be just what the title suggested. Now it's trying to compete for ad revenue along with the likes of Engadget. Such a shame.
Is that a paid member or just somebody who created an account?
What alternative method do you suggest for them to pay their bills?
In any regard, Apple expanded beyond computers.
Macrumors needed to do the same to stay relevant.
Macrumors doesn’t have the luxury to live in the past like some posters do here.
Nothing stopping you from creating your own site and posting articles that you deem relevant.

If it's just about Macs it'll be slow news 11 months out of the year and maybe even 12 months if Tim Cook succeeds in killing the Mac by replacing it with iPad.
Am I wrong?
Anyway, pictures these days are at least half the result of the software and image processing, in which Apple trounces Samsung. Portrait mode has been copied by Android manufacturers, as one example. Samsung’s color accuracy is garbage and over saturated in almost all cases.
Apple isn’t a hardware company. They spec hardware out but don’t build a lot of it because hardware manufacturing is a crap, competitive, low margin business. Remember, Apple’s Samsung screen was better than Samsung’s Samsung screen, so they know what they are doing.
Ad absurdum is not a valid tool for discourse.
I'm guessing it's called MacRumors because it primarily traffics in Apple related content. Sounds as if you're looking for exclusively traffics in Apple related content. Thankfully, MR isn't that insular. Might I suggest skipping over content that doesn't meet your definition of what should be on the site. They have plenty of Apple focused content. The majority of it is, in fact, Apple focused.
MR, Apple, and the entire tech industry are different from what they were 12, 8, heck even 4 years ago. They've all adapted to current times. Every site needs revenue to operate. Trying to drive it isn't some sort of activity worthy of derision.
Again, you could always start your own 24-7, all Apple-all the time site.

Disagree completely. Smart phones have evolved greatly over years. In respect to the article, look how smart phone cameras have almost eliminated point and shoot and cameras. Its incredible the detailed photography smart phone cameras can produce.
In fairness, the Apple Watch is the _best_ selling smart watch in the world. The HomePod is still in its infancy to determine how successful it is yet, being its only been available for six months.
