Apple's Proposed Dual Camera Interface Brought to Life in Video Demo

[Chupa Chupa]

Cool but utterly worthless feature with the standard 16GB. If Apple ups the photo ante but leaves storage as-is then 100%: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

A couple thoughts if this is an iPhone 7 feature:

1) it's 7 Pro only and the Pro will start at 64GB standard. No more 16GB. 256GB model? Who knows. BUT... no price cut. Apple just discontinues the 16GB model as a "soft" price increase.

2) 7 and 7 Pro. 32GB standard @ same 6s/6s+ 16GB price.

A case can be made for each scenario based on what Apple has done in the past and also where the iPhone market is in 2016, not 2014.

Corrected.

So I take it you have some proof of this? Or are you just talking out of your rear?

 

[Mactendo]

What a mess.

 

[ghost187]

No. iPads won't have it because cameras on tablets are not as important.



I know, right? Physics sucks.

According to your personal opinion, but there are people that would appreciate better tablet cameras. I honestly would appreciate a better front facing camera on the iPad, because that would be great for podcasting on the go.

can't wait for all these cat videos to be dual camera

here is that dual lens image.

Ha, what's old is new again. I used to have a camcorder that had two lenses. In fact, I might still have the darn thing in storage. It was made by Sharp, I believe. It was actually a pretty cool feature, letting you seamlessly switch from a wide angle to a close-up.

Please Apple don't force me to buy a phablet brick to have this feature!

You've been a member on here since 2010, you should know by now how the up-sell tactics of (especially post-Steve) Apple work by now.

iPhone 7 Plus Pro Air 1 Sport.

Or perhaps it'll be iPhone 7 Plus Pro Air 1.0 Sport...

I meant according to Apple. My own opinion is irrelevant, Apple doesn't ask me what they should do. Apple focuses on making sure their top of the line phones have the best cameras.

I'm still in the denial stages.

 

[Tech198]

I like this.

So can u take out the zoom? This would do better

How fun a new camera. Apple needs to release this feature in a uniform fashion. iPhone 7 with new camera in three sizes, classic 4 inch, and two other sizes for those who love iPhone super sized.

 

[VulchR]

I agree, why wouldn't the image be stitched together in the preview, presenting one viewfinder window as the default?

I sure hope so....

 

[BeanieMan]

i think... not a killer app.

Wow once again the iPhone rips off HTC... first the iPhone 6 ripped off HTC's all metal body, antenna bands, long slender shape, with rounded edges. The iPhone 6s ripped off HTC's 5MP front camera and live photos. Now the iPhone 7 copies HTC's dual sensor camera, and the ability for 2 lenses to act simultaneously. HTC has had this feature for years, but rather than using 2 rear sensors, HTC allowed you to record video or snap photos, using both front and back cameras at the same time, so once again apple has innovated nothing, just copies others ideas, yet they make small changes and patent them as they own.... There was a time when the iPhone out performed Android and had better cameras, but all in all, HTC has shaped the phone market to what it is today, setting the standards for the phones we see today, with metal bodies, dual cameras, 4g networks, GPS, live photos, 5MP front cameras, hi-res audio with powerful amp and dac, dual stereo speakers, 1080p selfie video, multi touch, touch response below 50ms, opting larger pixels over resolution (better low light photography), YouTube, and facebook. HTC also created the first modern smart phone, as well as the first Android phone which was developed before the iPhone yet was released onto the market after the iPhone due to the long drawn out process of Google acquiring Android. I think the iPhone is a rip off, constantly coming up with new ways to generate more money off their customers. They eliminate the aux Jack so users now have to buy an expensive adaptor to use their headphones or buy Bluetooth headphones (which don't sound as good). The iPhone uses things like storage, battery life, cables, music, etc.. as a means of generating money long after the phone is purchased. The iPhone doesn't offer external storage so your forced to spend hundreds more for a phone with sufficient storage, or buy apples own iCloud storage. The iPhone uses itunes, apples own music software so they make money when you download music. Apple doesn't feature sufficient battery life despite having lower resolution displays, and weaker internals, forcing many users to buy apples own battery pack cases. The iPhone doesn't offer mirroring so your forced to buy adaptors or apple tv to connect your phone to your TV. Some of you may say that's good marketing, sure for apple, but iPhone users get less for more money, I don't get it, I-fans are in denial.
