The iPhone camera is one of the most important aspects that users consider when buying such a product and the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), knows this, annually updating this component of the terminals to give us the opportunity to record great pictures. Because in the future smartphone cameras will play an even more important role in the lives of users, the Apple company is preparing a new revolution in terms of the method of recording pictures, an invention patent granted to those from Cupertino revealing everything.
For to offer cameras that record better photos using iPhone terminals, the engineers of the Apple company thought of an L-shaped camera, the camera sensor not being pointed directly outwards, as is the case with current smart phones. The change implies that the light enters the sensor through a glass structure in the shape of a polyhedron, this having at each base light-reflecting surfaces, this being directed through an L-shaped tube to reach the zoom lenses.
At the end there is a splitter positioned behind the lens that divides the incidental light into three colors, each to be picked up by three separate sensors, one for each type of color. Added to all this is a similar system that reflects the light in such a way that it compensates for movements and eliminates the need to implement a separate optical image stabilizer, the whole camera being much more compact than normal.
The technology itself is extremely complex and, as usual, no one knows if it will ever end up in future iPhone terminals or if it will remain forgotten in Apple's laboratories.
