  • Apple is testing a 200MP camera sensor, according to a veteran leaker.
  • This will likely be used for the main camera rather than as a zoom camera sensor.
  • Apple would be following in Android OEMs’ footsteps by adopting this tech.

Samsung was among the first smartphone makers to adopt a 200MP camera, marking the next step in the megapixel war. We’ve since seen more brands adopting this high-resolution sensor for their main and telephoto sensors. Now, it sounds like Apple could follow suit by potentially adopting a 200MP camera too.
