There will be improvements in the software department, though.

      Another Apple article full of salty droidboys :D Why they are so obsessed about Apple? funny thing also which i have noticed, these people very rarely write anything to android articles. It's like they are here only waiting for new Apple articles and then right away those same writers are in every Apple article.

          fact? Where have you been? iPhone 12 pro models cost exact same than 11 pro. It's propably one reason why new iPhones are selling so well.

            ?? Previously Kuo said that a 2022 iPhone will have a periscope camera and that the 2021 iPhone will have a new tele lens as well as a new ultra wide lens.

              Incoming Apple fanboys: "Why change something that is already perfect?"

                currently good yes, but I wish phone companies would solve the image warp issue, still too much of that occurs. imo

                    Cameras are pretty much good on every flagship, I think it's time to focus on mid-rangers, get them to a great amount of quality, and then update the flagships. This mostly applies to Android but it doesn't mean that Apple can't focus their efforts on like a next gen iPhone SE with the XR design and camera.

                      2023: We at Apple are introducing a new camera system: the periscope, it has never been seen before.

                        Of course, Apple can make same phone for years just with new CPU and smaller battery and they will still sell 100 million units of new models.
                        Why would they make it better?

                              "Innovation" Am I right bois? What a joke

                                JDK, 08 Jan 2021Woah, I'm surprised. I feel like the Xs is the WORS... moreI viewed those photos on my 27" QHD Acer monitor and I can actually see the 11 Pro and 12 Pro Max's oversharpened detail. It's terrible! I actually can see sharper and clearer detail with the XS, it looks almost true-to-life to me. Even casting those photos on my 4K TV in Standard colour profile setting tells a similar story.

                                Maybe because I'm way too used to Nokia/Microsoft Lumia PureView photo quality that I prefer the XS photos.

                                  I feel like the Xs is the WORST out of the iPhone 11 pro max and the 12 pro max. I feel like flattens out contrast in images and smooths detail out of photos.

                                  You might be the person that likes that style better.

No matter how brilliant the flagship Android smartphone camera hardware, the iPhone's video capability still takes the cake. It is damn good! That is why I'm not surprised to see a lot of films and music videos shot only on iPhone.

Yes, talking about video, its still the lead, but... photo quality - leadership was lost years ago.

                                        And yet almost no improvement in real world usage. The same goes for the difference been the Pro and the Pro Max. The difference on quality, if any, is not noticeable.
