The iPhone's evolution into one of the best digital photography devices on the market continues apace.

Corroborating earlier rumors, the next iPhone Pro is tipped to get a massive 48-megapixel camera.

Based on a new sensor, the 48-megapixel camera will sit alongside Ultra Wide and Telephoto lenses, which also will get upgrades.

Based on what the iPhone 13 Pro is capable of now, these upgrades will likely make a truly great camera into an insanely great camera.

And I'm here for it.
