I am severely disappointed that the iPhone 13 does not have more than 3 back cameras. When do you think a model with it will come out?
 
What focal length are you missing? I’m guessing the next step might be a zoom rather than three primes.
 
More than 6x optical zoom range. The 12 Pro Max's 2.5x optimical zoom is equivalent to a 65mm lens on a full frame. The 13 Pro's is equivalent to a 77mm lens. 200mm or 300mm?

And this does exist as a working quality prime with a competitor already?
These focal lengths tend to be massive lenses on my dedicated cameras as well so I’d be interested to see what a mobile phone camera lens would be like.

The other focal lengths are also rather close together so with their current implementation they’d have to add multiple step up lenses to get to that point.

It doesn't bother me too much, but when they ran the trailer which showed the three camera lenses all fitting into place on the back, I got a vibe that the third one was about to move and make space for a fourth to slot in, but it didn't happen.
