Apple is reportedly developing a 200-megapixel camera sensor for future iPhones, with a potential launch in 2028, possibly branded as the iPhone 21 series. This would represent a significant hardware upgrade from the current 48MP sensors. Samsung is expected to be the supplier for these new sensors, potentially manufactured in Texas. While the higher megapixel count could enhance photo resolution and cropping capabilities, Apple is anticipated to continue prioritizing image processing and usability over sheer megapixel numbers.
