Yes that assumes you have use for the camera. Anyone who doesn’t really has no reason to read new phone launch press releases (since about 5 years ago). They are now cameras with other smart phone features tacked on. Incremental increases to cpu/memory/battery/storage but big improvements to picture quality (such as a full stop or two of sensitivity)

There are plenty of reasons to do so e.g. new IME or security systems, hardware upgrades (e.g. computational engines or dedicated hardware), etc…
