Why do I have the feeling this camera will fit in a phone in 3 years?

Please try to make HN a corner of the web where participating benefits everyone. Perhaps a breakdown or rationale as to why a camera sensor of this resolution will never be that small?

Smartphones have become ridiculously large in the past years, but I think you are a bit too pessimistic if you assume that they fill fit two feet sensors that soon.

Even if it could, it wouldn’t be useful because of diffraction.
