What's the camera like on this one? I owned the last-gen SE and it's camera was the main reason that I upgraded to the 13 Mini. It was truly awful -- it made my Pixel 2 XL's camera seem WAY, WAY better than what the SE had.
Looking at the press release, I don't see anything about any "new" camera tech. The lens looks pretty similar too. Is anybody able to confirm if this is the same camera as the last gen model?

- jcoder 5y agoIt’s in the sub-headline, and there’s an entire section about it: iPhone SE features an all-new camera system powered by A15 Bionic, with a 12-megapixel ƒ/1.8 aperture Wide camera that offers incredible computational photography benefits, including

- tomaskafka 5y ago12-megapixel ƒ/1.8 is an unchanged camera from 2020 SE. They are running with iPhone 8 cameras for another few years and trying to fix the image quality with software.
- plaidfuji 5y agoAgreed, everything else I love about my current SE, but the camera was near zero improvement over my 6. If it’s single lens it’s likely to still be a significant shortcoming. They try to workaround it with better image processing algos but it’s not the same.
- geerlingguy 5y agoIsn't it basically the same lens + sensor package from the iPhone 8? If so, it's a bit long in the tooth, and no amount of computational power on the A15 chip is going to overcome its shortcomings.
