Does anyone know if Raspberry Pi is going to release an updated Pi Zero soon?
I have several camera builds I'd like to deploy in my house but I'd like to get the latest hardware if it will be coming soon.
Well, it was almost inevitable, really. With high-resolution sensors coming to smartphones over the last couple of years, it was only a matter of time before we saw them coming to camera modules for the Raspberry Pi. While you might not want to use your Pi as your main camera, they are often used in […]
The iPhone 13 Will Be Thicker and Camera Bump Larger: Report
via MacRumors
A new report alleges that the iPhone 13 will be slightly thicker than the iPhone 12 and feature a camera bump that will grow in size but protrude outwards less than current models.
According to a report on MacRumors, Apple may be trying to make its camera bump less noticeable by making the iPhone itself slightly thicker. Referencing schematics shared with the publication, MacRumors says that the new models will be 7.57mm thick, an increase of 0.17mm over the current 7.4mm thick iPhone 12. This jump is visible, but is likely not going to be majorly noticeable to most people.
What will be immediately apparent is what MacRumors is calling a "more noticeable" camera array. Not only does it appear that the array itself will take up more room on the back of the camera, but the entire bump will also protrude out more in what appears to be an attempt at curtailing how much the individual camera lenses stick out from the back of the iPhone body.
The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro currently have camera bumps that measure 1.5mm to 1.7mm, while the report alleges that the iPhone 13 will have a thicker 2.51mm camera bump while the 13 Pro will feature a 3.65mm thick camera bump.
In the image below, the actual real estate that the bump takes up on the back of the camera is particularly noticeable.

The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro currently have camera bumps that are about 28mm by 30mm, while the report alleges that the iPhone 13 will have a more squared-off bump that is closer to 29mm by 29mm. Additionally, the bump will allegedly be located about a millimeter closer to the top of the iPhone.
The iPhone 13 Pro's bump is even larger and will reportedly have a bump that is closer in size to the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The report alleges that Apple will lean closer to bringing both the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max to camera feature parity in this iteration rather than having them be so notably different as they are with the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.
These reports mirror the CAD leaks originally reported by EverythingApplePro in mid-April but expand to show differences not only with the Pro Max camera array, but the whole iPhone 13 line.
As Cnet notes, there is no official word on when the iPhone 13 is expected to come to market, though an April report on chip manufacturing could suggest that it is possible the iPhone 13 could revert to pre-pandemic launch windows, as last year was the first time in eight years that September did not feature a new iPhone announcement.
The most notable changes to actual iPhone camera quality is not expected until 2022 when Apple is expected to release the iPhone 14. According to another report, that device will feature a 48-megapixel camera to take iPhone photography “to a new level.”

iPhone 13 Leak Shows Bigger Camera, iPhone 14 Said to Have 48MP Sensor
Apple looks set to beef up the iPhone camera in various ways over the next couple of years. New leaks are revealing plans for an even larger camera module on the back and a massive 48MP image sensor within.
CAD Leaks Show Bigger Bump on the iPhone 13
EverythingApplePro has published what it claims are leaked CADs for the upcoming iPhone 13 that should be released later this year.
Here are illustrations comparing the dimensions of the iPhone 13 Pro Max camera module compared to the current iPhone 12 Pro Max module:

If the leaked CADs are accurate, the square module may protrude 31% more (3.65mm vs 2.78mm), causing the thickness of the phone to be 3.33% more (7.65mm vs 7.40mm). The module will reportedly be 3.38mm taller and 4.77mm wider.
The camera module of the iPhone 12 Pro Max will be 15% wider and 9.9% taller.
The iPhone 13 Pro camera module will reportedly have an even larger size increase in width and height and a similar increase in protrusion. The noticeably larger module will include a larger LiDAR sensor for better accuracy for corners, edges, and AR, MacRumors reports.
Here's the full 10.5-minute report by EverythingApplePro :
A 48-Megapixel Camera in the iPhone 14
In a note to investors that was seen by MacRumors, well-respected Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo wrote that the "iPhone 14" to be released in 2022 will feature a 48-megapixel camera to take iPhone photography "to a new level."
In terms of pixel size, the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, and new 2H22 iPhone are about 1.7um, 2um, and 1.25um, respectively. We believe that the new 2H22 iPhone may support direct 48MP output and 12MP (four cells merge output mode) output simultaneously. With 12MP output, the CIS pixel size of the new 2H22 iPhone increases to about 2.5um, which is significantly larger than the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, and larger than existing Android phones, and close to the DSC level. We believe that the camera quality of the new 2H22 iPhone will elevate mobile phone camera photography to a new level.
Kuo also notes that the high-end iPhone will be able to shoot 8K video. Looking further, Kuo believes Apple will begin using a periscope telephoto lens in 2023 (something the company patented years ago and which competitors have already launched).
