Not one single word about the VIDEO capabilities of that new tech?
The video camera of iPhone 6 is superb! 60 fps and heavily improved image stabilization. Here you have some demo shots in my blog (sorry it's German but you'll find the YouTube clips anyway):

YouTube doesn't support 60 fps but be assured that you can see absolute smooth movements and pans on your modern LCD tv set (right now, no need to wait for a 4K set) when you watch the videos via AirPlay and Apple TV. Almost no jittering, rolling shutter and moiré reduced to a minimum!

Not sure how Apple patented this, its a process that's been widly used for years by astronomers to layer up images taken with webcams in avi format and automatically stack the images together to make a better one. The package is called RegiStax.

Maybe they will one day bring out a retina display with 3D incorporated (without glasses) so there's scope for 3D facetime calls!
I dont see any great video results.
For example: The Budapest Movie from the comment section is full of fractals and loss of details.
I've seen better results with other smartphone products (xperia z3 for example)
Not only that but if your "friend" takes pictures of the cats from multiple angles, he could create 3D models of them and then use a 3D printer to recreate them in statue. Now that's the future!
It always amuses me how people assume that Apple are finding out about a new technology at the same time they're telling the general public about it. They have likely been working on this for years; new to us != new to Apple.
That's like assuming a woman got pregnant on the same night she announces it to her friends.
Doh.

I wonder if this impact the camera's zoom capabilities? If I've had one consistent complaint about iPhone cameras versus even basic point and shoots, it's that their thin size means no optical zoom...it's all digital. I've always thought a big weak spot for the iPhone was it's zoom capability.
SLR like....bwahahahha
Ok, don't make me laugh too hard now. I'm sure good lighting and close ups will look descent, but it will never compare to slr or DSLR. Doubt you will ever get a nice 8x10 with that camera...not for another 5 years. Even then DSLR quality will be better.

rule #1 of digital photography
never, ever, under any circumstances use digital zoom
Software and technology can do wonders but the single most important item for great photos is the lens. No matter what kind of tech fixes you come up with you are still talking about a tiny lens.

I'm actually constantly worried about scratching it when I sat my phone down as I haven't found a case I love just yet and am carrying my 6+ around naked. I'm probably going to go with the Apple leather case. I should actually go buy that right now.
Thanks!
I hope it's not either, it's too close to the Galaxy 6S.
Maybe they will call the new phone...iPhone Air
You might be the only person to think the iPhone's camera is crap. The iPhone 6 camera is widely regarded as one of the best mobile phone cameras even at a lower megapixel then others.
Well. They compared these cameras to an iPhone 5... And the iPhone 6 is probably the same amount of better than these cameras.
So, it's clear that the next iPhone is going to be thinner. Yaayyyyyyy

+1000
Compared to the stand alone digital cameras I've used, the iPhone camera is very poor but I didn't expect anything else because it's a phone not a camera.
The question is why thinner - 6/6+ are already at the size of the lightning cable - that's as far as they can go - going thinner will make the phone even more fragile and the battery life will suffer.

CAUSE THINNER!
thats why.
