Researchers from investment bank Morgan Stanley say Apple will add Samsung's 200MP cameras to the iPhone in 2028, and also add suppliers to potentially reduce costs, El.kz cites Apple Insider.

It's been expected that Apple will move to 200MP cameras in the iPhone at some point, and it's even been predicted that this will be in time for the iPhone range.

However, according to a note to investors by Morgan Stanley, seen by AppleInsider, it will be the iPhone 21 that first gains a 200MP camera. This is partly to make sure supplies are diversified instead of reliant on a single source.

It's also, though, believed to be related to how Apple wants to increase iPhone component production in the US. This fits with previous reports that say Samsung may make CMOS image sensors for the iPhone in its Austin, Texas facility.

Those reports also claim that Apple will use a 200MP camera in a future iPhone. However, they suggest this may be because Sony has failed to match Samsung's technology.
