Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] I said IOS needed to borrow Android features and make Phablets

That's what I've read in the past but personally I don't need a larger file or whatnot for my photos. I'll view them on a tv or iPad or maybe print one or two and for the my iPhone does extremely well considering my amateur status in the photography world.

Next they will probably focus on camera resolution (and lense attachment ease) on 7 and future releases. The 40+ MegaPixel Lumina set new standards for picture detail that most people will love once they see it

With only 128gb storage I doubt 40mpx is warranted. Plus I see apple is going for improving software not hardware on regards to camera. Not saying they won't but noting how they are gong now. When I bought my photo lab the previous owner said 8mpx is the sweet spot and to get out before then. Well one needed to get out before that (read: I lost my butt on that purchase) but I still think his prediction holds some merit. I do think that mpx will creep up but that the file size without compression for 40mpx is silly. I would think that writing raw would be better and knowing apple I wouldn't put it past them to develop a better (read: proprietary) file format to create better fidelity in photos than simply using jpg compression. But I dunno. Time will tell.

The folks who examine *cameras* for a living (as opposed to phones) state that the iPhone 6's have the best cameras out there, among camera phones. Period.

The photography industry debunked the megapixel myth several years ago, and MOST users understand that now.
