Apple's new dual camera system “to give iPhone 7 a super zoom”January 11, 2016 - 14:33 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Rumors about the specifications of Apple's iPhone 7 are already in overdrive and a new patent filing could hint at a massive improvement in the smartphone's camera capabilities, Digital Spy reports. The Mobile Camera System filing has been picked apart by the people at Patently Apple and Stuff. The system uses two cameras at the same time. One can capture footage at one depth, and another at a deeper focal length. Alternately one can capture one type of footage, and the other another type of footage or hi-res photographs, which can later be combined. "One can imagine a child about to blow out the candles on the birthday cake while all her friends are singing a birthday song," the filing gave as an example. "In some embodiments, second camera module 3084 can be used as a telephoto camera module to zoom in on the face of the child as she is about to blow out the candles and first camera module 3082 can capture a burst of high resolution still images of her smiling face." Given the nature of patent applications, it isn't absolutely clear if these are the types of developments that will be realised by Apple - in time for the iPhone 7 or otherwise.
