But the camera sensor is a rectangle, right? So you could do it with software, but you would lose resolution because the sensor isn’t as wide in that direction. You’d just be cropping the image.
I think you’re right that it’s related to it being a rectangle and without changing the sensor shape it’d be basically a crop in software.
The cameras are round though so it’s only the capture hardware that would need to be fixed. The “megapixel” of the camera constantly increases as well so dropping some of it in a crop may not even matter much in the long run.
