I am sorry, people seem to actually think that mp is the only thing that impacts image quality. You do realize Apple stated that they decided to focus on the sensor rather than the megapixel rating. Same thing that professional grade camera companies do. You can get a high megapixel camera and get trounced in the image quality department by a low 5-8 mp camera with a bad ass sensor in it.
So to just look at back of the box specs to rate a phones level of technology like people tend to do on this site does not tell the entire story.
