That's exactly the size of the pixels on the Nokia N8... welcome to 2010 Apple..

Don't forget N86 8MP 1.75microns, Dual LED released June 2009

Joking aside, there's some magic in iPhone camera IP algorithm (all sensors coming from Sony, in Xperias they look like crap), 5s really make nice images and quite consistent ones.

Hope 6 will improve this further, though judging those spyshots I'm not huge fan of 6 design, reminds me of 3/3gs language that never really grew on me.

Cheers,
Miki

^ oh yeah, forgot about that one

Apple are very good at software, that's what they do.. so its only natural for their imaging algorithms to be ahead of most andro OEMs out there. On top of that, they have "to the metal" access to their own hardware, very much like Nokia had with Symbian, which helps a lot.

So I have no doubt that the iPhone 6 camera will overachieve.. it has been the case since the iPhone 4s, and now that they got Ari Partinen from Nokia on board, things will only get better.

I am really hoping for a wider angle lens.. the current lenses produce silly squares

wider angle AND allowing 16:9 format by default really hate those 4:3 (thanks randomuser for pointing me to camera+ app allowing various aspect ratios, but this is something that should be "by default").
I guess they really stepping up in the game:

Space grey does look tempting...

As for ergonomics (my biggest worry), I guess not that bad after all, as it isn't too wide (mockup at least)

leaked pic of the 5.5 inch iphone 6?

.... tbh, it doesn't look all that good, I wish they'd reduce the size of the bezels.

cheers!

TBH, I think that's the fundamental issue with iPhone in general. While you can argue 5/5s looks "nice" with home button, for such a large device (almost size of S3) home button looks ugly, unnecessary, waste of space... and to keep aesthetics and symmetry of device, top/bottom bezels are huge (by today's standard), just look at LG G3. Guess it takes more than simply stretching 5s.

I wonder if Apple is going to lose home button in future....

EDIT:
The iPhone 6 5.5" & 4.7" Mockup!

Cheers,
Miki

So apparently Iphone 6 is getting the Sony IMX220 sensor, same sensor as the one that will be used on Z3. But the difference is that the one for Iphone 6 will only have 13MP 1/2.3" whereas Z3 the usual 20.7 MP 1/2.3".

Very interesting as the 5S performed as good as the Z1/Z2 with a 1/3.0" sensor and now with the same sized sensor AND lower megapixel count it should have amazing image quality.

Its because Apple decided to play the megapixel size marketing instead of the megapixel count which has been going on for years. I applaud them for it, but it still doesn't change the fact that the most important thing is the surface area of the sensor.. the pixel size vs. pixel density is an open debate.

What I can tell you for sure is that at 1.9 microns the iPhone 6 will probably have the best dynamic range we've seen from a phone so far.

Lets see if they can finally put wide optics in there.. up until now they've use narrow optics in order to maintain sharpness in the corners, but as shown by Zeiss.. you can have a wide lens that is sharp from end to end.
