Round 'True Tone' Flash for iPhone 6 Revealed in Latest Part Leak

[techspin]

Personally, I would've liked it to be octagon shaped. But really, the shape of the LED is the last thing I would be concerned about.

But there is no 5.5" iPhone.

please make the whole thing thicker don't let it stick out

This thread is about the flash. Not the camera ring.

But there is no 5.5" iPhone.

I'll let Apple tell me that instead of Macrumors users.

 

[NMBob]

Geepers

Isn't that a lot of power to push through a poor, defenseless LED? I have experience. I've hooked LEDs directly up to batteries before.

 

[jonnyb]

We've arrived at the 'someone please just put all the bits together and make me an iPhone 6’ stage of the annual rumour cycle.

This looks like the antimatter containment module that is expected to be included in the new Mac Mini that will be released tomorrow.

did you reach level 68000 by just posting that?

The camera is one of my biggest points of interest this go-around.

Me too.

My wife's 5s camera in low-light actually puts my 5 to shame. Other than that, I'd rock my 5 any day. I'm just excited to see the camera improvements!

Considering it made its way to the iPod Touch, I wouldn't be surprised if those rumors were true. If they didn't see enough reason to keep the camera flush then, they're probably ok with it now. ::sadface::

 

[T-Will]

the dual-flash on my 5s takes so much time to calibrate, it's just embarrassing. if i want to take a photo it takes about 5 seconds with the flash

It's too bad, from seeing these part leaks, that Apple definitely won't be improving the response time!

If you want a thicker phone, get a case. I hope the camera ring is removable and that Apple implements that lens attachment mechanism that they patented.

 

[verpeiler]

Cool, but I still never use flash on pictures taken with my phone. I only use it as the flashlight.

Using a flash as a photographer especially in dark settings only makes humans look worse. No matter what color the flash light is.

This !

But hey, I've seen people taking pictures of the grand canyon with flash... when it comes to photography, people are stupid; that's why the cameras are getting dumbed down with every iteration.

 

[dugbug]

glad to see two tone preserved

The high-quality rear camera may come with an aesthetic cost in some users' eyes, however, as at least the 5.5-inch model has been rumored to require a slight protrusion from the thin body to accommodate the camera, as seen on the current iPod touch.

This is another reason why I think there won't be (and never was going to be) a 5.5" phone this year. Why would the camera protrude on the 5.5" but not the 4.7"? Wouldn't both phones be the same thickness?

I don't doubt that 5.5" versions have been built, but I think they have all been prototypes and nothing more.

 

[Jakewilk]

Awwww darn. I had hoped that Apple was going to remove both the white and amber LEDs in favor of a multicolor LED. That would've made some pretty sweet flashlight effects.

 

[macduke]

So the flash in the iPhone 5 and earlier seems like a smaller circle. It's hard to tell accurately from the photos, but is this flash as tall as the current one on the iPhone 5S? If it is, but also wider, then I wonder if we can expect a more powerful flash output? Perhaps increased low-light sensitivity combined with a brighter flash output would make shots of interiors at night just a little bit better. Good for photos where you're taking a picture of someone further away, maybe next to something, or just taking photos of a space in general.

White and amber is a multicolor LED.

 

[bigchrisfgb]

Ha, there you go to everyone who claimed that every leak we have seen can't be real because there is no true tone flash. Now you can continue disbelieving the 5.5 inch and the protruding camera ring.

 

[iBreatheApple]

For me, this 99% confirms the legitimacy of the most recent part leaks. Guess we've seen the physical appearance of the iPhone 6, then. While there's nothing wrong currently, and I'm unsure of what I would want to change, I'm getting a little bored of the same face each iteration. Of course, there's not much you can change when it's almost all screen; but I'm still someone bored of it.

 

[Jakewilk]

White and amber is a multicolor LED.

No that's two LEDs. I'm talking about one that could be any color

 

[cmaier]

No that's two LEDs. I'm talking about one that could be any color

"Multi" means "more than one."

 

[Jakewilk]

"Multi" means "more than one."

Holy cow, bud; you don't get it. I understand that true tone makes hundreds of colors, but they're all varying shades of white and amber. Go ahead and try to get your multicolor iPhone 5s flash to turn blue and tell me how it works out

Then you should have said "i want an LED that can turn blue" not "I want a multi-color LED."

By the way, the actual LED emitters are blue. The light only looks because of the phosphorescent material in the package above the emitters. The yellow phosphors actually produce white, not yellow, light when they absorb the blue LED light.

 

[dugbug]

then you could not mix the two colors with a single flash onto the environment

Edit: sorry I misunderstood you.
