iPhone 7 Camera Bump to be removed
The Apple iPhone 6 and all the models after have had a hideous camera bulge at the back. This is because the phone is slimmer than the camera module.
For many, this is a problem as the phone won’t lay flat on its back and the lens cover could be damaged. Both the iPhone 6 and the 6s have the camera bulge. That may change with future iPhones, and Apple may finally get rid of the bulge.
Thanks to the new patent application filed by Apple, a spherical lens will reduce the thickness of the camera module. This would make it possible for a slim smartphone to have a non-protruding camera lens.
The patent is titled “Small form factor high-resolution camera,” and states that the distance between the CMOS sensor and the lens can be reduced by using a curved sensor. It’s a very cool idea and is already being used in astronomical telescopes. To use this on a small smartphone specific camera would be difficult, but is still possible.
Despite being thinner than a traditional setup, the camera will produce higher quality and sharper images. The curved would also be able to capture more light and provide better images at night.
This lens system could have an aperture of f/1.8 or less. The total axial length of the setup is proposed to be less than 2 mm. Such a setup is said to cause distorted images due to chromatic aberration, but Apple claims it can fix that by adding another lens.
Apple could end up using this new camera module in a future iPhone, but don’t expect to see it in the iPhone 7. The iPhone 7 will most likely feature an improved camera, but nothing of this sort and we believe the bulge will still be there.
A patent application doesn’t always mean that it’ll become a reality. Apple files thousands of patents, but only a few make it to the actual products. You can read more about this patent via the source link.
iPhone 7 Dual-Camera Feature?
Apple is expected to announce the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in September this year. Will we see a special edition iPhone 7 Plus with the dual camera? Or will they reserve this for an S version next year?
iPhone 7 No headphone jack, Wireless EarPods?
Without the 3.5 mm headphone port, Apple would be able to reduce further the thickness of their next device. The Lightning port will be used as a headphone port for Lightning-compatible headphones. It would also be used for charging the device, as it has been used since the iPhone 5. But what if you wanted to listen to music while charging your device?
iPhone 7 Rumors: No headphone jack
Well, the latest rumor suggests that Apple will make the EarPods wireless, probably use Bluetooth to connect them to the iPhone 7. That and lightning supported headphones will be required if you want to listen to music on the new iPhones. This information comes from Apple suppliers who’re familiar with the company’s plans for the next iPhone.
Apple could also, who knows, pack one of Beats wireless earphones with the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. That would be easier than designing an all new wireless ear pods. Then again, wireless EarPods would be much better, don’t you think?
iPhone 7 Release Date
When will iPhone 7 be released? Apple will not be announcing the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus till September 2016. So, there’s a lot of time for more leaks that should reveal more new iPhone 7 features
