iPhone 6S's camera upgrade may not be a good thing

 

Apple has always remained rather aloft from the megapixel arms race that has seen its rivals scramble to print ever higher numbers on their spec sheets, but a new rumour suggests Apple will indeed boost the camera of the upcoming iPhone 6S from 8MP to 12MP.

According to Kevin Wang, IHS Technology Research Director in China, the iPhone 6S - along with the iPhone 6S Plus - will feature higher megapixel counts, but there's a catch.

Although the snappers Apple include in iPhone 6S series will have more megapixels, according to Wang they will have smaller pixel sizes.
