Deborah is right, not everyone upgrades their phones regularly, and it's a race against time before they truly go obsolete. The thing is, I don't think the non-upgraders are generally willing to splash 100-200 on the lenses for their phones. They are marketing a premium product to consumers who are not into premium products. At lower price points, say 50-80, they would be able to sell more. Sure, they'll sell some, but it's a small slice of a shrinking pie.

@@zombie5017 I wouldn’t call it a majority. Certainly enough people upgrade to turn a profit and warrant producing and selling the new phones (and that profit is more consistent and competitive than making bigger upgrades less often) but I think the reason new phones are made yearly also means there’s a new product whenever a buyer is ready to upgrade, rather than that most buyers upgrade yearly. A company’s most recent device will be the most expensive of its type so if they released every 3 years let’s say, then someone ready to upgrade 2 years later would be picking between another company’s new device and a similarly priced 2 year old device. Companies just need to match competitors pace, it’s definitely not most people who upgrade every year. Although I agree with OP about non-upgraders so the product would still really struggle at its current price

To Peter's point, he's right. You CAN'T compare (even just) a point n shoot camera with a phones cameras since the sensors aren't big enough and aren't comparable. What might come in the monitor might be different due to software optimization from the phone OS, but raw sensors in real cameras are more accurate.

Sorry, I disagree. I've taken photos on my smartphone which look tons better than my mate who has a 3 grand camera. They've been pictured in the local paper several times and people can't believe I've taken them on a smartphone - admittedly, I do use software to optimise them in post-production. You're right about sensor size, it continues to limit smartphone cameras, but I honestly believe it's only a matter of time before a combination of enhanced sensors and software overcome this. Once I'm able to zoom in on, and take a decent photo of the moon, it's game over for the lower-end of the semi/semi-pro camera market. Big up and respect tho - this is just my humble view ;)

As a recreational photographer I am their target consummer but would rather spend on a mid-entry level camera than a phone gadget. Sadly their product comes way too late to market, there are big players out there, solving the problem with built-in features on their phones.

I recently tested the Samsung S22 Ultra. I couldn't believe how good the camera was. I have a top of the range Pentax digital camera and I think the Samsung is better. Add-on lenses are unnecessary. This Dragons Den was some years ago, so "Never underestimate the pace of technology".

I deff have lense like this from Amazon for about £12 🥴 and they look great!

I could search google right now and find at least 10 different sellers of these lenses all with different prices

If this was 2 years ago, most phones already had 2 or 3 cameras at that point, so there's no reasong for anyone to buy, and enthusiasts are probably going to buy a normal camera anyway. I've heard of attaching lenses to your smartphone 5 or even 6 years ago, and at that time it was a game changer, because there were no smartphones with more than one lens. It was pretty amazing at that time - it was called Moment Lenses. Nowadays? Meh.

Deborah’s right, the buyback does seem counterintuitive. I hadn’t thought of that before.

It’s not. They are just framing it that way. They get their money back, plus interest, the equity is a bonus for what basically ends up being a loan.

Very well Explained Peter 👍🏻

i recently bought a s22ultra i would love to see what the 2x telephoto lens does but i doubt they will make a case to fit it

I wonder how much of Peter Jones' prediction will come true - that in a few years, most smartphones will have these features inbuilt. I'm kind of amazed they got two offers, especially when there is a bigger fish out there and can really enter the marketplace. They come across as a bit immature when the guy just says 7:14 "I doubt it". Kind of expected a better rebuttal than that.

His prediction already came true mate. My S21 has a wide angle lens, zoom lens and a regular lens lol. Pretty sure a company can put a fish angle lens if they wanted to.

Wow peter was actually right here 👏

Should've listened to Peter, he is one of the most experienced and has the most insight.... 😂 he was right.

Peter was spot on. That's what a true Investor is. He can see the future....

the lenses are way too expensive, if they were like half the price they'd probably sell more even with new phones

Didnt they already upload this one

Narrator: the duo have two identical offers. Also the narrator: Tej's offer is more competitive.

Moment did this perfectly. They even have an anamorphic adapter

Why they don't say what episode and which season is ???

I have a Canon 6D mk ii.. and to say its been out since 2019 it still feels like it came out yesterday..

Lemura lenses are good. I have one. But Peter is right, it's a fad. Newer phones have made them obsolete.

they seem to like to recycle old episodes. hiding the date when it was made detracts from its value - and they just ignore it.

I have seen these smartphone lens sell for $15 to $20 on Amazon.

I wonder how these guys are doing today. Because I can guarantee that all those lenses they sold are now sitting in a landfill or at the bottom of a junk drawer rotting away

It appears that you reuploaded this one and deleted the old one!

With the new iPhone 15, and the pro max phones, I wonder how they’re doing

13:15 "Ooh, even more difficult"... you did ask here to match and lower the equity.

Something similar to this would be useful for converting my phone into a Microscope & microphotography rather than macro, when I'm doing field work. ( Deadwood Ecology & Mycology ) I actually like the product, and I only upgrade my phone every two years, so it wouldn't be that big a deal to upgrade the camera attachment. As right now my equipment is bulky, weight reduction for my pack would be a nice quality of life change.

@@shush97 50x isn't high enough I'm talking about micro photography not macro. I also don't use Huawei. For perspective my microscope is 40x-2000x and I routinely work between 500x-1800x. Right now it's all a trade-off between weight, image magnification & image quality as well as cost. Something that would be able to maintain the high quality image at high magnification for low weight at consumer pricing would be a game changer. Otherwise your looking at heavy camera equipment that's 1000 dollars plus just to get started, or you have to take specimens back to the lab or have a mobile lab unit. Having an attachment kit capable of high quality magnification would reduce alot of labour. The problem is so far “phone microscopes” ( not to be confused with lens adapters that let you mount your phone on your scope ) tend to be cheap pieces of crap that don't work well or produce a good enough quality image. They'll advertise 500-2000 but the images will be rough at best and they break really ( really) easy. Which isn't something you want if you're a hundred miles in the middle of old growth forest going over rough terrain lol.

Peter just destroyed someone's dream in a 60 second speech, snapshot

Repost far too quick after the last time.

Eric and Hugo played that super well, despite Peters opposition.

How do they do now? I agree with Peter but I also do see they would sell even with new phones and new software.

I have used these detachable lenses. They are awesome and work really well.
