I don't understand. Is there a difference between those two statements?
There is no known technology that would make it physically possible to fit such a camera in a mobile phone, just as there is no known technology that would make it physically possible to travel faster than light.
- edgyquant 4y agoYes there’s an obvious difference? One just implies our tech isn’t there yet, but could be. The other implies we don’t think it’s possible at all with any technology.
- LeifCarrotson 4y agoThe truth is slightly more murky: There's an element of engineering improvements that have brought us much closer to the physical limits between, say, my original Motorola Razr flip phone and the modern incarnation. But yes, the manufacturers are now squeezing the last few percent out of the diffraction limit rather than leaving most of it on the table, so the year-by-year leaps and bounds in camera quality are mostly coming from AI enhancement not optics or sensors.
