iPhone 7 May Sport Dual Lenses for DSLR Quality

Apple's iPhone has long been a worthy replacement for point-and-shoot cameras, and the handset could be gunning for your DSLR next. According to a new rumor, the follow-up to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus could sport dual camera lenses to allow for photos that could rival those of a premium DSLR camera.
As reported by Apple Insider, this rumor sprang out of the latest episode of The Talk Show podcast, during which host John Gruber claimed that "a birdie of a birdie" tipped him off about the future iPhone's purported dual-lens construction. Gruber didn't have much to offer in terms of technical specifications, but noted that his source claimed that "next year's camera might be the biggest camera jump ever."

Next year would be a smart time for Apple to make a big leap in the camera space, as all iPhones have utilized some variation of Apple's 8-MP iSight camera since 2011's iPhone 4s. Subtle hardware and software improvements have enhanced the iSight's image quality over the years, including the True Tone flash that debuted with the iPhone 5s and the optical image stabilization that's exclusive to this year's iPhone 6 Plus.

Samsung to be the main processor supplier for Apple's next iPhone: Report

Seoul: South Korea's Samsung Electronics will be the main supplier of processors powering Apple's next iPhone, Maeil Business Newspaper reported on Monday, citing unidentified sources in the semiconductor industry.
Samsung will be responsible for around 75 per cent of the chip production for the next iPhone, the South Korean newspaper said.
The newspaper did not say how much the contract is worth and what other company will be supplying Apple. Samsung will make the chips from its factory in Austin, Texas, according to the report.

Samsung to reportedly manufacture the A9 chip for the next-gen iPhone

Just last month, there were rumors that a Samsung processor would power Apple's upcoming smartwatch, now Recode is reporting that the South Korean company will also be manufacturing the A9 chip for the next-gen iPhone.
The A8 chip used for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus was manufactured by both Samsung and TSMC -- with which the Cupertino-based company signed a chip production deal back in 2013 -- though the latter handled the bulk of the orders. That deal came after there were reports that Apple wanted to decrease its dependence on Samsung because of ongoing legal battles.
While the iPhone maker had hoped to rely more heavily on TSMC once again, it reportedly had to turn to Samsung because the company is technologically ahead in the latest manufacturing processes. TSMC, the world's largest independent semiconductor foundry, is still producing chipsets based on a 20 nanometer manufacturing process, while Samsung is already at 14 nanometers, which effectively means more processing power packed into a smaller footprint, as well as reduced power consumption.
In somewhat related news, there have been recent reports that Samsung has decided to ditch Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 processor in favor of its own Exynos chip for the next version of the company's flagship Galaxy S smartphone.

Samsung To Provide DDR4 RAM For LG And The Next iPhone Through Massive Deal Signing

Korean manufacturer Samsung seems to be having a good day when it comes to hardware. After the company’s announcement of the world’s first 10nm FinFET manufacturing process for mobile SoC earlier today, it has also signed some mega deals for memory components for two of the world’s leading manufacturers – LG and Apple.


Samsung Signs Deals With Apple And LG For DDR4 RAM Chips For The iPhone And LG G4

In news out of Korea today, Samsung has signed on deals to provide both Apple and LG for memory chips on their upcoming flagship devices. The devices are expected to be the LG G4 and the iPhone 6S, which is the tentative name given to Apple’s expected flagship device this year by KoreaTimes’ industry source. While there’s no date or a single credible rumor surrounding Apple’s flagship, we do know quite a lot about LG’s flagship. The LG G4 is expected to come this April after both HTC and Samsung are done with their mobile launches for 2015.
LG’s looking to set its device apart in more than one way this time around, with special focus laid towards the device’s design, and as highlighted above, its launch date. The mobile chips being supplied by Samsung are by no accounts confirmed to be DDR4 however as the source suggests that Samsung will be providing 100% of DRAM chips for LG and nearly half of the workload for Apple on the next iPhone. Good news for the Korean manufacturer as it suggests that Samsung can also become established as one of the world’s foremost hardware manufacturer as well, in addition to mobile devices and other general items. The earlier announcement to 10nm is also said by the company to be a major step towards the Internet of Things since smaller chips will pave a way for better devices. We’ll keep you updated, stay tuned.

Apple Looking To Stand Up To Carriers With The Next iPhone And Upgrade RAM

Apple’s looking to reduce your need of mobile carriers with this year’s upcoming launches it seems. The Cupertino carrier is looking to stand tall in front of carriers when it comes to the Apple SIM, a feature it debuted with the iPad Air 2 launch last year. This, and more information comes courtesy of AppleInsider, known for their well placed sources when it comes to all things Apple.


Apple Looking To Reduce Carrier Control And Upgrade RAM On The Next iPhone According To Sources

Today’s information suggests that the next iPhone feature changes to several Apple changes. Apart from the Apple SIM, the next iteration of the iPhone will also receive a RAM upgrade, something which Apple hasn’t changed since the iPhone 5. Not that it has harmed the company’s products in anyways. Thanks to Apple’s rigorous hardware and software integration, 1 GB of RAM on the iPhone manages to perform smoothly, without the device facing any major lags.


A RAM upgrade is much needed however, as many would argue. Given iOS’ advancement, and as apps become more and more performance intensive, one couldn’t expect Apple to stick too far to 1 GB when it came to the iPhone. The last iPhone RAM upgrade followed the iPad, and we can expect this year to follow suit, as the A8X came last year with 2 GB of RAM embedded on board.
Coming back to the universal SIM, sources report that Apple is considering shipping the next iPhone with Apple SIM pre-installed. This would allow users to choose carriers as they wish, rather than purchase a device already locked to carriers. Apple’s position in the market and its brand loyalty might just make such a feature work. It will receive strong opposition from carriers however, as the race for your data plans become more intensive day by day.

iPhone to get Intel silicon

7360 LTE modem, for now…
Next generation iPhones seem to be getting some silicon from Intel, in the form of the 7360 LTE modem.

This does not apply to the 6-series refresh. Venture Beat has learned from multiple sources that the Intel modem will be used in 2016 products.
“For months Apple engineers have been making trips to Munich, Germany to work with Intel engineers to ready the ready the Intel LTE chip for the iPhone,” one of Venture Beat’s sources said.
The sources also said Intel went to great lengths to get its LTE modems into Apple products.
There is a catch; Intel’s modem won’t end up in every iPhone out there – it will be used in a “special version” of the iPhone for emerging markets, mainly in Latin America and Asia. That said, Intel’s 7360 is a rather capable modem. It supports Cat 9 and Cat 10 LTE, along with 3x carrier aggregation. All this means that the modem can hit speeds of up to 450Mbps.
In addition to pursuing high-profile wins for its modems, Intel is also hoping to use the same technology in its smartphone SoCs, namely the SoFIA platform.

Apple Takes Things A Step Ahead With Side Display Patents For Next iDevices

With the earlier, limited launch of the Galaxy Note Edge and the subsequent launch of the Galaxy S6 Edge, Samsung changed the way we look and interact with our devices. The Galaxy S6 Edge will now let you keep a tag on various notifications and contacts through its special curved edges and end up efficiently use space in the process. But looks like Apple’s also been thinking about the edges on a smartphone for quite a while now, with new patents uncovered today that were filed back in 2013.


Apple Granted Patent For Sidewall Displays To Feature Flexible Touch Input Options

Apple’s been granted some interesting patents today by the US Patents and Trademarks Office today. While conceptually the same as the curved sides on the Galaxy S6 Edge, Apple’s patent allows for a greater shift in functionality performed by a smartphone’s edge. Apple’s sidewall display patents show that the company has applied for trademarks on a technology that will allow the side of future iDevices to come with flexible touch input options.


Simply speaking, Apple’s technology will let the sides of the iPhone display different virtual buttons, depending on what function the user is performing on the device at the moment. So, if you’re listening to music, then your phone’s side will be able to display various options such as play, pause, next and previous song. If you’re on a call, then you’ll be presented with options generally presented on the screen of the phone. It’ll work through flexible displays mounted under a transparent display layer cover, which will also most likely include a touch sensitive layer.

Sounds an interesting take on the whole smart edges for the device concept. While Apple has only been granted the patent today, the beginning trend of edge functionality on devices should be the one that many makers might consider to latch on, if it becomes more popular. Will Apple be one of them too? We’ll find out. Stay tuned.

Apple’s Patent will Allow for Camera Zoom Function and a Better OIS Chip

Cupertino tech giant Apple plans to make its smartphones even better than its current large screen iPhones thanks to the latest patent granted to the company. Apple’s patent information has been reported by a reliable source stating that the company will severely be able to improve the functionality of its upcoming iPhones. This is because Apple’s patent involves the use of a digital camera component that will possess a light splitter cube. The light splitting cube object will be able to split the light entering in to the camera in to three color components, along with three image sensors that have been positioned in such a matter that they will comfortably be able to receive one of color component’s rays entering in to its opening.

Apple’s patent will allow the firm to create a more efficient camera:

A folding mirror, which is part of Apple’s patent, has been included, and its role will be to act as a deflector. The mirror’s functionality is going to be controlled by a powered actuator automatically and for those who do not know this, the power actuator is part of the iDevice’s optical image stabilization (OIS) mechanism but far superior. The regular OIS mechanism involves the use of a moveable sensor or a moveable lens in order to capture stabilized images. However, there was a limit to how the OIS chip could function. Objects inside the lens’ area of capture that are moving too fast would often end up being hazy.



This limitation could be lifted with Apple’s patent. In addition, the combination of Apple’s A9 chipset and possibly the M9 co-processor will allow the iDevice to capture images more efficiently than ever before by an iPhone. While the efficient OIS chip does sound like a great perk to have in an expensive device such as an iPhone, another advantage of being a proud owner of the company’s handset will be the camera’s zoom functionality.

Apple’s patent details suggest that this particular functionality might be considered as a true zoom feature since the moveable lens will be able to achieve variable magnification and capture the image without compromising its overall quality. Apple’s patent has opened up several possibilities for the tech giant, with the primary one being augmenting the image capturing and video recording functionality of future iDevices. Additional information concerning the patent along with leaked hardware details of Apple’s products will be published as soon as it becomes available.

Apple’s Future Devices To Possess One Camera Sensor And Multiple Camera Lenses

While releasing large screen iPhones ended up being a huge game changer for Cupertino tech giant, Apple, the company is now going to improve its future mobile devices’ image capturing prowess by incorporating a single camera sensor that is going to be surrounded by multiple camera lenses. According to the information present in the latest patent filed by the company, the company is on to something big concerning the cameras of its future iOS devices.

Apple Camera Sensor Will Be Used By Both The Front And Rear Camera

In the abstract of the patent, it states that:
“Systems and methods for capturing images are disclosed. An image capture device includes two or more apertures for directing light to an image sensor device. In some embodiments, each of the apertures admits light from a different direction relative to the image sensor device. Some embodiments include one or more electrically switchable mirror elements configured for directing light from at least one of the one or more apertures to the image sensor. Upon application of a first signal, a first electrically switchable mirror element enters a reflective mode for reflecting light from a first aperture of the one or more apertures to the image sensor device. Upon application of a second signal, the first electrically switchable mirror element enters a transmissive mode for transmitting light from a second aperture of the one or more apertures to the image sensor device.”








If both the front and rear cameras end up utilizing the same camera sensor, then it will most likely allow Apple to further reduce the thickness of its upcoming iOS devices, which mind you, is not necessarily a good thing, seeing as how less amount of space could result in a smaller battery pack, coupled with less amounts of heat dissipating from the chassis. However, if Apple does decide take this approach and incorporate it in to its upcoming products, then we might very well be seeing the end of protruding camera lenses.
Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus has camera lenses that were protruding outwards of the chassis thanks to their reduced thickness. Earlier on, Apple had successfully filed for another patent that will allow its future handsets to get improved zoom functionality coupled with an improved OIS chip. Apart from being able to exude tremendous amount of speed from future iOS devices, we can safely bet that if consumers have gotten used to using their smartphones as substitutes for DSLR cameras, then iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and the rumored iPhone 6C are the devices that should be waiting for.

Samsung to reportedly make A9 processors for Apple's next-gen iPhone

Apple's next generation iPhone should be unveiled later this year, and will have its A9 processor built by its main competitor; Samsung. Samsung has reportedly won the contract from TSMC, who made the A8 processors for the current iPhone 6 and 6 Plus handsets.

image: http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/...gen-iphone.jpg

Samsung will reportedly begin making Apple A9 processors at its Giheung plant in South Korea, according to sources of Bloomberg. Additional orders will be filled with Globalfoundries, one of Samsung's partners. With Samsung and TSMC fighting for contracts from companies like Apple and Qualcomm, it's quite the scoop for Samsung and its continued dominance of the industry.

TSMC is currently the world's largest contract manufacturer of chips, with the Taiwanese giant spending around $12 billion in plants and equipment in order to secure contracts from Apple and Qualcomm. Losing a large contract like this to Samsung isn't going to bode well with TSMC, but according to analysts, TSMC won't be laying low, as they'll reclaim the upper hand in 2016.

Apple's plans for an iPhone with DSLR-quality camera all but confirmed with LinX acquisition

Apple has purchased LinX Computational Imaging Ltd., an Israeli-based firm that specializes in depth-sensing camera technology. Terms of the deal were not disclosed although sources familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal that the two companies had been discussing an acquisition price in the $20 million range.
As the publication points out, LinX develops and markets tiny cameras for smartphones and tablets that use an array of sensors to capture multiple images at once. A proprietary algorithm is then able to take those images and develop useful depth-based information and 3D maps.

Although still relatively new to the consumer market, depth-sensing mobile camera technology isn’t an entirely new field.
If you recall, the Dell Venue 8 7000 tablet I recently reviewed came equipped with Intel’s new RealSense Snapshot Depth Camera. The slate used a trio of rear-facing cameras to capture a stereographic image that can then be manipulated to show various information. While a neat idea, the implementation failed to impress and turned out to be more of a gimmick than anything else.

Apple confirmed that it had indeed scooped up LinX. A spokesperson said Apple buys smaller tech companies from time to time but they generally do not discuss their purpose or plans for a particular acquisition.
The underlying story here has nothing to do with depth-sensing technology like Intel's RealSense. Instead, Apple purchased LinX to dramatically bolster the image quality of its iPhone camera.

Late last year, technology blogger John Gruber said Apple’s next iPhone may feature the biggest camera jump ever. Specifically, he referenced a two-lens application that could produce DSLR-quality photos. Curiously enough, LinX announced last June that it had developed a system capable of doing just that.
Add in a recent patent application for a triple-sensor, prism-based light-splitting camera and it becomes increasingly likely that Apple is indeed preparing an iPhone camera system that’d put all other mobile efforts to shame.

iPhone could get strengthened body made of 7000 aluminium alloy

In a bid to make its smartphones more rugged and avoid any potential “bendgate” scandal in the future, Apple is considering to use 7000-series aluminium alloy for its new iPhone smartphones. If the company succeeds, its handsets will be more durable than any competing products, setting a new standard on the market. However, 7000-series aluminium is not an easy material to deal with.
Aluminium 7075 is an aluminium alloy that includes zinc, magnesium, copper as well as tiny percentage of silicon, iron, manganese, titanium, chromium, and other metals. The strength of aluminium 7075 is comparable to many steels, it also has good fatigue strength, which is important for automation and aviation applications, but may not be that important for smartphones. Two downsides of the material includes average machinability, something that may hamper mass production. Moreover, 7075 aluminium alloys have less resistance to corrosion than other Al alloys used today.

At present Apple uses an aluminium 7000-series alloy to make Apple Watch Sport timepieces. Apple claims that its 7075 Al alloy is 60 per cent stronger than most aluminium, but one-third the density of stainless steel. According to Apple, each case is machined and polished, then blasted with microscopic zirconia beads to achieve a consistent, satin texture.
Taiwan-based Economic Daily News reports that Apple is considering using the same material to strengthen its future iPhones. It is unclear whether the company intends to use the new alloy for its upcoming iPhone 6s-series handsets, or the plan includes future generations of the company’s smartphones.

Apple uses milling machinery process to make bodies for its devices, including iPads, iPhones, MacBooks and other. Due to increased strength of 7000-series aluminium alloys, the process gets more complicated. While this may not be a big problem for Watch Sport, which is small and which sales will total 10 to 15 million units a year, this could be a huge issue for iPhones, which sales exceed 80 million units per quarter.
Still, according to EDN, makers of aluminium bodies are gradually improving their process technologies and at least some of them can efficiently handle 7000-series Al milling. Therefore, eventually aluminium 7075 may be used for mass devices, such as iPhones.

Apple did not comment on the news-story.

Apple’s Looking At Telephoto For The iPhone As Smartphone Camera War Intensifies

Camera quality and smartphone advancements have begun to go more hand in hand as we progress towards the future. Processor, design, display and camera quality have started to become a standard at which a flagship smartphone device is gauged at, and to ensure that they stay at the top of the food chain, every manufacturer focuses on these key components for success. And with LG launching the G4 with some impressive camera specifications, more word has started to surface about Apple’s plans for a dual camera system for the iPhone.







More Documents Surface Showing Apple’s Dual Camera Plans

Looks like folks over at Cupertino are getting pretty serious for more than one camera on its future devices. Some patents uncovered from the US Patents and Trademark Office detail Apple’s plans for a telephoto lens to go alongside the standard camera lens found on iPhones. For those of you out of the loop, a telephoto lens is generally used for long distance photography, and allows the user to capture enlarged images of objects at a long distance. The physical length of the lens is expected to be shorter than its focal length for it to be classified as a telephoto lens.
However capturing distant images isn’t the only function of a telephoto lens. It also allows for a better sense of scale and better accommodation of multiple subjects in a single shot. Apple’s proposed telephoto solution for the iPhone suggests for multiple lenses to be used, similar to the current camera system found on the iPhone, alongside 1.2 micron pixels, focal length of 7mm and track length of 6mm or less. A telephoto lens on the iPhone would end up giving users more options for customization during photography and would also start a shift away from the camera on your iPhone simply being a very effective point and shoot solution. But given Apple’s penchant for secrecy, we really can’t say anything for sure right now. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you updated.

Apple's Next iPhone Needs More Megapixels (Op-Ed)

No smartphone is the subject of more rumors than the iPhone, and those rumors are increasingly about future iPhone cameras. The latest rumors are about a possible jump from 8 to 12 megapixels for the main (rear) camera, and possibly technologies for better low-light performance. If the rumors are true, it's a good move on Apple's part to catch up to the quality of rivals, especially the Samsung Galaxy S6 (and S6 Edge).
While more megapixels aren't inherently better, our comparison between the Galaxy S6 and the iPhone 6 shows that the 16-MP rear camera in the Galaxy S6 captures notably sharper images than the iPhone 6. And Apple's reason for fewer megapixels — that they are larger and thus absorb low light — no longer holds up, as the S6 delivers significantly better low-light results. (Click the image at the top of this article for a larger version that illustrates the differences.)
It's also time for Apple to increase the resolution of its front camera (currently just 1.2MP), as selfies are becoming one of the most popular kinds of photo.
Increasing pixel size isn't the only way to get good low-light shots. One is a larger aperture that lets more light into the camera. Each of the front and rear cameras in the iPhone 6 (and 6 Plus) each have an f/2.2 aperture. That's better than what many point-and-shoot cameras or the entry-level lenses on DSLRs offer. But because smartphone camera sensors are so tiny, they need a lot of light to take good pictures. The Galaxy S6 has an f/1.9 aperture and the LG G4's is f/1.8. To put that in perspective, each of those two cameras can let in about 30 percent more light.
MORE: Camera Clash: LG G4 vs. Samsung S6 vs. iPhone 6 Plus
None of the current rumors mentions a larger aperture, but an intriguing new one talks about a new kind of sensor for low light — made by Sony — that adds a white pixel to the red, green and blue that are typical for a camera. Without a color filter covering it, the photosite (pixel) can capture a lot more light. That brightness information could help the phone render brighter and less-grainy photos overall.
A better processor can also clean up low-light shots. The biggest problem with a small amount of light is noise — grain that appears because the weak light signal gets overwhelmed by the electrical fluctuations (noise) on the chip. Most photos would be positively ugly were it not for a camera processor's ability to recognize noise and remove it when producing a final photo. Apple's next smartphones, likely called iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, are expected to pack a new A9 processor, and better photo cleanup could be part of the design.
None of that, however, will help improve what's becoming the most popular kind of photo — the selfie (or wefie, if friends join in). Geezers can pooh-pooh the selfie as the latest silly crazy — just as they did with Twitter, Facebook, online dating and every other newfangled sensation that is now a fixture of daily life. (I recently saw a woman, likely in her 60s, standing in front of the Golden Gate Bridge with a selfie stick.)
All but the cheapest smartphones offer higher-resolution front cameras than the iPhone 6's paltry 1.2MP, which is not even enough for full-HD 1080p video, despite Apple's big advocacy of FaceTime video calling.
The Galaxy S6 has a 5-MP front camera, the G4 has an 8-MP shooter and the HTC Desire Eye has a 13-MP cam -- the same as its rear "main" camera. And the results, especially in the case of the Desire Eye, are gorgeous. Today, Sony announced the Xperia Z+, that has not only a 5MP camera, but better low-light technology (though not the rumored white pixels). The only thing that distinguishes this phone from the current Xperia Z is the selfie cam, which Sony thinks is enough of an incentive.
The good news for Apple fans is that the company has a good record of producing great cameras, so it has promising prospects for catching up with an iPhone 6s or iPhone 7.

Rumor Suggests Apple Will Adopt 7000 Series Aluminum For Next Gen iPhone

Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities have issued yet another set of notes to investor that beholds Apple’s design plan for the forthcoming smartphone. He predicted that the next generation iPhone will incorporate a 7000 series aluminum which is the strongest alloy in the industry. This makes the casing on the iPhone 60 times harder than the iPhone 6. Its a significant change that will put to rest any debate regarding the bendgate issue.

The same metal has been used in the Apple Watch Sport. Kuo also stated that the upcoming iPhone will also be 0.2mm thick due to the introduction of Force Touch. Even though it would not be a lot different from the current iPhone 6, it might as well be less fragile yet a lot durable. Other than this, the iPhone would also be 0.15mm taller than the current model. This may collect a little heft to it but the overall design may get some advantages.
Upcoming iPhone To Get A Little Thicker And Taller

Yet again, Kuo has also reinvested in his previous rumor that Apple will introduce a new rose gold color to the iPhone. Either this or Apple could manufacture an 18 Karat Gold version just as the company did on its Apple Watch Edition. Previously, Apple does not have any 18 Karat gold models for the iPhone.





Moving back, Apple has explained the characteristics of its 7000 Series Aluminum on Apple Watch Sport on its website:

“For Apple Watch Sport, we started with 7000 Series aluminum — the same used in competition bicycles. We altered it to create a new alloy that’s just as light, yet even more durable — it’s 60 percent stronger than most aluminum, and one-third the density of stainless steel. It has a bright, lustrous colour and a uniform structure free of defects and impurities. Each case is machined and polished, then blasted with microscopic zirconia beads to achieve a consistent, satin texture. A special anodizing process creates a hard, clear outer layer that helps protect against scratches and corrosion.”

Even though the iterations of the device may not change completely, there will be improvements in the material that would aid a good life for the device. We can speculate these changes without any surprise because Apple is moving technology from its Apple Watch to the iPhone, Force Touch for instance. We are anxious to know the bend test results so any development in the body is most welcome. This is it for now, let us know in the comments how you feel about this change.
