iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 rear cameras are the same?

Hi Guys just a quickie, have scraped the internet for this answer but have found nothing concrete.

I have read that both cameras are built exactly the same, have same specs, but obviously the 8 has better software to implement a better picture. However physically and build wise it appears identical. I have one to sell on ebay (Iphone 7) but if I advertise it as an Iphone 8 rear camera I can ask for twice as much. Will I get away with it or is there a slight inherent difference between the two ?

Sean.

Dam it lol, I knew there must have been a reason apart from the camera housing being a light gold colour, thanks so much for your quick reply. I have started up fixing phones and laptops just to get me through this pandemic so I will return lol.

Excuse me, do you mean that the iPhone 7 and 8 rear cameras are the same?

@kmekmiv5keesph8 I'm not sure what you're reading here, but Roman's information is specifically saying that the cameras are NOT the same; the connectors have a different number of pins and therefore are not interchangeable. The camera hardware itself may or may not be the same, but there's a reason that there's a different number of pins so there's definitely an electrical difference between them.

I finally understand. Thank you very much.
