A leaker with a decent track record says that Apple is testing a 200 megapixel telephoto camera in the 2027 iPhone 19 Pro, to try to catch up with cameras on rival phones.

The rear cameras on the iPhone 17 Pro Max have a 48MP sensor, but it’s long been rumored that Apple move to 200MP — and probably by 2028. Now according to leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo, Apple is currently testing such a sensor, and it may ship in iPhones released in 2027.
