I stumbled across this chart comparing iPhone camera sensor sizes and it’s interesting to see how far we’ve come but also how backwards Apple has gone with the 16e.

A sensor the size of the iPhone XS with 4 times more but smaller pixels just seems wrong. And I know it’s a “budget” iPhone and that it does pixel binning, but it makes me wonder how Apple is relying way more on software rather than hardware here.

Anyone else thinking the same thing?

I am not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I need to motion track fome footage, that was shot on iPhone 12 Pro main camera. I need to know the exact sensor size and focal length so I can make accurate renders. I don't know the math behind calculating focal lengths, crop factors or image sensor size, so I need some help. When I look at information that comes with some photos it shows that it has 4mm focal length, but 26mm when it comes to 35mm sensor. This for some reason doesn't really check out when I work in 3d, so I need to get the real sensor size with real focal length value. In website specs I can only find this information: 12 MP, f/1.6, 26mm (wide), 1.4µm, dual pixel PDAF, OIS. I don't really know how to use this info, so I hope someone can help.
