i mean, size constraints, sure. But camera bumps ONLY get bigger, and more unreasonable. Remember the iphone 6? little itty bitty nub. That’s not the case anymore.
apple? (Idk, i dont care tbh) recently unveiled the incredible technology known as “two mirrors” in order to abuse the dimensions of an iphone to get a longer focal length.
Even then, surely you could just put a bigger, higher resolution sensor on it, and then use digital zooming instead. That way it at least pretends to have features. Even then why bother adding more features, it’s a phone, all it’s going to do is be a nuisance at family gatherings. Because for some reason people HAVE to take pictures of everything.

My suspicion is that the main purpose behind the multiple rear cameras is mostly to more easily create depth mapping and improved accuracy location metadata.

As someone with a 3+1 camera phone who likes taking photos, it’s a huge improvement over a single lens. I wouldn’t buy a single lens phone again.
