Invention that will seem obvious after it's introduced: a phone camera that can film in landscape while being held vertically.

Why don't we have this??

People turning their phones to film in landscape will probably be one of those things that'll look silly in old media once this is changed.

Increases the hardware pixel count by ~1.6x while being wasted every shot.

Just turn your fucking phone.

That being said, half our phones have like 3 cameras on the back we don't use, so sure, throw a fourth on, why not?

Some phones do have four cameras on now. God knows what they all do.

I’m pretty sure that the multiple cameras all have different focal lengths, which allows the software to composite a single image from the multiple signals. This allows the intersecting fields to enhance quality when zooming and discriminate smudges/dust that you wouldn’t want to be in the shot.
