Satellite communications.
A 48 megapixel camera with ever improving computational photography.
- bayindirh 3y agoCurrent 12MP cameras are actually 48MP sensors, which use pixel binning for better color and noise. You’re bound by physics here, not corporations. I didn’t check recent sensors, but 24MP ones would be 96MP with binning. Sony makes multi-mode sensors which can produce different sized outputs to optimize details and image quality for a given light amount. Computational photography is like artificial flavoring. It looks fine, but lacks the finesse of a big sensor. Also, “dreaming” things in photography is a no go in some contexts. Also, I think some iPhone models have emergency satellite communications already, no?

This was the feature that allowed a family to be located and rescued recently during the Hawaii fires. https://www.macworld.com/article/2027967/iphone-14-emergency-sos-via-satellite-hawaii-maui-wildfires.html https://www.macworld.com/article/2027967/iphone-14-emergency...
