HomePod Firmware Suggests iPhone 8 May Record 4K Video at 60 FPS With Both Front and Rear Cameras

Makes sense in a way. The front camera may need as much resolution as it can get if the rumor that the iPhone 8 dropping Touch ID in favor of facial recognition is true.

This would be wonderful, I have really been missing this. Having been shooting in 4k since it became an option, but I have thought many times about turning it off because panning in any video I take is soooooooo hard to watch on a tv or monitor later. I was honestly surprised it didn’t happen last year. Another reason I will be getting the 512gig phone..::
Just show us the damn phone already people want there wallets raped.Hoping for those 16GB storage tiers
But if I willingly open my wallet and start throwing Benjamins at Tim, doesn't that mean it's consensual?
Ok, great, now how about an Apple TV that can display 4K? iPhones have been recording 4K for how long now? And no way to display those recordings on your TV!
Facial recognition will be relying primarily on the front camera (CIS). High resolution is very helpful.
The supplementary IR transmitter on the front enables more reliable facial recognition. Skin has a special spectral signature which absorbs or disperses IR wavelengths.
People that think they can defeat the OLED iPhone using a photograph or 3D printed mask will be disappointed.
Hmmm, what I found most interesting in the hompod leak was the support for an iPhone with a 6.5inch screen. Surprised no one here is talking about that.
Ahh I didn't even consider facial recognition- which is silly because that's the biggest leak right now. Very curious to see what it's all about come September

Another revelation?! HomePod is really the gift that keeps on giving!
Next headline to appear on MacRumors:
"HomePod firmware contains name of winning team in next year's SuperBowl".
"HomePod firmware contains name of winning team in next year's SuperBowl".
This means we'll probably get 240fps 1080p slow-mo and 480fps 720p slow-mo!
Thank goodness iOS 11 supports H.265/HEVC. Also glad they doubled my iCloud storage to 2TB and I can share it with my wife now! I hope that since I use iCloud photo storage they can re-encode my videos to take up less space! Would be great if they could convert the JPGs to HEIF too. I've been shooting 4K since iPhone 6s and will definitely move to 60fps 4K once available. I always want to shoot at the highest resolution possible because I have young children and want these videos for the archives. I used to shoot 1080p 60fps on my older devices, which would sometimes result in a darker video, so hopefully they can also work on improving the low-light high ISO performance of this iPhone so it's not as dim at 60fps.
This thing is going to be expensive.

That's because that part of their security is actually working as intended.
I'm not complaining but thanks to HomePod firmware leaks, I feel like I already know 50% of Apple's September keynote.

There is a rumor that Apple is releasing a 4K HDR Apple TV soon...

Hopefully in September!

I will giggle like a giddy catholic school girl if they announce exactly that. I'm itching for an Apple TV 4K
Once upon a time you developed film in Dark Rooms to see the whole picture. Now developers read code in Dark Rooms to see the whole picture. #Podgate

It was a single reference to 6.5-inch. In other parts of the code, the new iPhone is referred to as "D22" and "2017 iPhone."
I wouldn't be surprised if the iOS dev team was given incomplete or misleading information about the OLED iPhone. Apple separates the hardware and software teams to maintain secrecy. The display resolution and aspect ratio information in the code is correct and that's what matters.
Wow... How did this happen? It's almost impossible to fathom that a firmware release for a speaker that isn't even shipping holds this much information about a device Apple clearly intended to shake up the market. So far it looks like mostly good news (not sure I'm keen on replacing touch ID though)-- but if these specs turn out wrong it's going to really be damaging...
I'm just imagining some new hire hitting the "release" button and suddenly realizing they forgot to run the script that scrubs the image-- then comforting themselves that it's just the Homepod firmware and nobody's going to look at it too carefully...

Doubt it. Because that theory makes no sense.
There's been a pause in iPhone 7 sales since April and Tim Cook has admitted future iPhone rumors are to blame.
Apple doesn't need OLED hype now. They can hype it after launch and manufacturing is fully ramped. It's the same as Elon Musk anti-selling the Model 3. There's no point in killing Model S sales.
Looks like a GoFundMe page is in order for the new iPhone 8.
Come on fellow forum members... help a guy out. If you can't (or won't) contribute to my new purchase, at least promise to stay off the Apple store app at 3:30am est. so that I can order one.
Recording at 60hz is definitely a smile maker.
T-minus 35 - 36 days until the reveal (give or take).
