While the interchangeable lens camera market is on the upswing, the mobile market is going the other way. Sony, which makes the majority of sensors for mobile, doesn't think that will change for another year.
The iPhone will reportedly adopt what is known as a "periscope" lens camera system starting with the iPhone 15, but it will only be available in the highest-end flagship model through the iPhone 16.
According to a new report, Apple is ramping up its supply chain to introduce a periscope lens in the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max phones before expanding to wider integration across the entire iPhone 16 line.
