Apple may finally upgrade the iPhone’s 8MP camera this year

Another report has come in which claims that this year’s iPhone will com with an improved 12MP camera, but that there will be a pretty significant downside. While the next iPhone is finally expected to drop the 8MP camera that Apple has used since the iPhone 4S, it may come at the cost of pixel size, although there will be a bunch of new features added that should make up for the difference. 

Even though it’s a myth that the higher the MegaPixel count on a camera the better the quality of the photos, Apple has been under popular pressure to give its iPhones cameras with more than “just” 8MP (if you read blogs, forums and even some “professional” media outlets you know what we mean). Ever since the iPhone 4S was introduced back in 2011, Apple has used 8MP cameras for its iPhone line-up, with great results we might add. However, despite initial reports, it looks like the Cupertino-based company might finally be ready to step up its MegaPixel game once the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus get released. For more info check back after the break. If earlier this week, an analyst with a great Apple track record has predicted that the iPhone 6s line-up will feature 12MP cameras, now another source from a reputable company whose main purpose is to know things like that has made a similar claim … with a twist. Today, Kevin Wang (IHS Technology Research Director, China) has “confirmed” that this year’s iPhone 6s duo will come with higher megapixel cameras (yep, 12MP). However, Kevin claims that the pixel size will be smaller.
