Although the 7 Plus iPhone’s camera is a great step forward, I have to admit that you disappointed me a bit for two reasons: the macro lens has a tan lower opening it only works if there is plenty of light and did not show anything allowing to simulate 3D. But, according to information of a half Asian that has been posted in Patently Apple, that camera 3D will be one of them points strong of the iPhone that Apple will present within about 10 months.
The information ensures that Apple is working with LG Innotek to develop a module of camera that would allow make photos in 3D. This 3D camera in which both companies would be working would come to at least one model of iPhone that will be presented in 2017, what we can already imagine what means: in the best of cases, it will be only in the 8 Plus iPhone; in the worst of those cases will be only in a third model more high of range that also would be that would come with screen OLED and, probably, a design more groundbreaking.
The 3D camera could reach the iPhone in 2017
Sources say that “Apple is now studying how to apply its 3D camera technology in camera smartphone from LG Innotek.” As LG Innotek also has its own camera 3D and technologies related, join efforts could give its fruits in any time of the year that comes“.”
Apple acquired the start-up LinX in April of last year by $ 20 million, a company that had the technology to add more depth to photos by dividing the digital image into three scenarios.
As in the view human, to make photos in 3D does lack a second eye or lens. LG Innotek is the only provider of Apple for the iPhone 7 Plus dual cameras. An of the reasons by which them of Cupertino could have committed in LG is that the company already has experience in this field, since already launched the Optimus 3D in 2011. In my opinion, I have always thought that that phone was very innovative, but that they did not know how to sell it, something that I imagine that Apple will do very well come the moment.
The truth is that 2017 iPhone promises, and new information that ensures that you have a 3D camera adds fuel to a fire that already seemed pretty stoked. Let us hope that the iPhone 8 does not disappoint.
