Samsung Galaxy S23 rumoured to get new 200MP camera

Samsung has reportedly completed work on its new 200-megapixel sensor for its 2023 flagships, which could be the Samsung Galaxy S23. The company is reportedly in the process of picking suppliers for its production. Samsung's component division, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, will reportedly get 70% of the orders for this new ISOCELL sensor, while other partners will fulfill 30% of the orders. With the final design complete, Samsung reportedly wants to ramp up production for ISOCELL HP3 to have them ready for next year's flagships (a.k.a. the S23).

As SamMobile noted, though, this won't be the same sensor as the ISOCELL HP1, also a 200-megapixel camera. The HP3 is reportedly an upgraded version, but it isn't clear what improvements were made. The HP1 can already do things like record 8K and 4K and offer features like advanced HDR and Double Super Phase Detection autofocus.

BMW's new cars temporarily won't ship with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto

If you're planning to buy or already bought a BMW recently, that might not come with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on board. The carmaker is in the middle of switching chip suppliers to improve its supply chain in the long term as it continues to feel the impact of the global chip shortage. The new chips built into many of the new BMWs manufactured this year require updated software to run Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. According to MacRumors, the BMW customers who received a new car without CarPlay or Android Auto were asked by dealerships to wait for an over-the-air update to enable the feature "by the end of June at the latest."
