Apple May Introduce 'Biggest Camera Jump Ever' in Next-Generation iPhone

I know nothing truly beats a larger sensor that can take in more light. But the goal is to get close enough to the point where you no longer need to lug the bigger frames unless you're doing something very professional or you just like old school tried and tested.
A phone filming in 4K with only 16 GB of storageHow long could you film in 4K, 3 minutes ?
A 64GB SD card will hold 80min. of 4K video.

I'm going to hold out for the 3-lens iPhone
But 4 lenses (one at each corner) all protruding could give Barbie & Ken a great pool and Air Hockey table for the Barbie Dream Home.
What we really need is "thinner". That is always what is most important. Since the camera part seems to have a problem with thin, maybe it should go? And the battery is a big hog of internal space so if it could go too, Apple could really thin out the next iPhone. In fact, why not just move all of the internals OUTSIDE the future iPhone so that we can get the thinnest possible iPhone?
That's just it. If Apple said "hey, this time we're making it 1mm thicker but you get a quad core processor and 21mp camera" there would be heaps of happier people.
Everything doesn't need to be thinner with each generation.
Okay for flat surfaces, but won't there be problems with parallax, confounding objects of differing distances and depths of focus/field? Especially close up?
Yes it will be also be waterproof have two day battery life no bezels and sapphire screen and wireless charging. You heard it here first.
I think 4k video is right around the corner. There are already a few third party apps that allow the current iPhones to shoot 2k and 4k video. The 4k I don't think is quite there yet but the 2k even in the largest formats looks great from the iPhone 6.
While the Digital SLR business has been compromised by smartphones, the high end has actually done much better. One of the big things amongst hardcore camera buffs are "gigapixel integrated" cameras. Some of these have very large physical lenses and taking very detailed images on an array of CCDs aligned so just a few wavelengths are missed. Some of the best are there gigapixel city scape photos of enter skylines and you can zoom into seeing people in skyscrapers and drivers in streets.
Jeez I hope this is right. Whatever they call them, let's get 3 sizes next year so those of us that like the 4-in size can stay happy.
Just ordered a new full frame DSLR, perhaps I should cancel the order?
Not really, I cannot believe that a small camera sensor is going to get close to true DSLR photos as mentioned in the article. Perhaps in perfect, outdoor lighting, but inside a dark theater I doubt it will be even close.

So who says cameras are governed my physics? Yes, DSLRs will have the advantage of good Japanese or German glass. But camera phones have the enormous advantage of having an app, a powerful processor and a graphics processor on board, plus signal processing chops too. Soon enough, pro cameras will have to evolve as well to match the tricks of smartphones.
I first got a single lens reflex when I was 14. It's been sitting in my closet for a long time. It's a relic.
The S model is always the one with camera upgrades. But maybe they'll just skip to iPhone 7.
I wonder if it's a 3D camera to go with a 3D screen... probably not.
They may use pixel doubling as they do on displays. Its use in cameras predates Apple's use of it in displays in several areas. For one thing it was a naive form of noise reduction. Some cameras allow for variable ISO settings. One way to combat the greater appearance of noise in the signal reconstruction was sampling 4 as one, then resampling at the intended resolution. This can also help with detail in really red and blue objects, as they have fewer allocated hardware sensors in a bayer array.
it will probably just say "beats" on it but won't be a top end product although I think they will go wireless/bt. I really think they will inbed the brand into their products maybe even pull an hp and call their speakers in products beats
lol...too many comedians here.
You can thank the entire personal computer industry to Apple.

Yet they can't actually invent new process technologies, and have to rely on IBM via Global Foundries to design their new processes.
Yeah, and I don't actually want 21 MP photos anyway. These phones have very limited space, and that level of MP means huge file sizes for each picture.

Well the video seemed cool. Instead of the Nokia method of 40+ MP to do zoom, you use 2 different types of lenses and combine the information in both in order to zoom. So, you get the zoom feature of those massive nokia phone cameras without the huge size.
No, the confusion is mine.
I was looking at a pic of a 128GB card when I posted that link.
Sorry.
