Apple's iPhone 21 Series to Get Much-Awaited Camera Upgrade Available on Rival Android Phones: Report
Apple will equip its rumoured iPhone 21 series with a 200-megapixel camera on the back, according to a research note seen by AppleInsider. While the lineup is expected to launch in 2028, following the rumoured unveiling of the 20th anniversary iPhone models next year, its specifications and features have started surfacing online. Apple will reportedly acquire the 200-megapixel CMOS camera sensor from Samsung, as Sony’s technology could not meet Apple’s requirements. This would be a significant upgrade over the iPhone 17 Pro series, which features a triple 48-megapixel rear camera setup.
