Rumors about Apple testing a 200MP rear camera for the iPhone have been circulating for a while, with the first leak emerging in May last year. Now, a tipster suggests that the first iPhone to feature a 200MP sensor may not arrive until 2028.
According to tipster Digital Chat Station, Apple is currently testing a 200MP periscope telephoto camera for the iPhone. However, Apple may still take a few years to bring the technology to market.
This aligns with a recent Morgan Stanley investor note, which claims that an iPhone with a 200MP camera is unlikely to arrive before 2028.
The 2028 model is widely expected to be called the iPhone 21, as Apple is rumored to adopt the iPhone 20 branding next year to mark the device’s 20th anniversary.
Previously, Digital Chat Station also claimed that Apple is evaluating a 1/1.12-inch 200MP sensor for the iPhone.
