„New iPhone to Have Dual Camera but No Headphone Jack“

The standout features will be a dual-camera system on the larger iPhone, a re-engineered home button that responds to pressure with a vibrating sensation rather than a true physical click and the removal of the devices’ headphone jack, said the people, who didn’t want to be identified discussing unannounced features. Apple declined to comment. […]

The dual cameras on the larger new iPhone will produce brighter photos with more detail, according to a person who has used a prototype version of the upcoming device. Both sensors, which each capture color differently, simultaneously take a picture, and the device produces a single, merged photograph, said the person.

The dual system sharpens photos taken in low-light environments, the person said. The combination of the merged photos from the two camera sensors also allows users to zoom while retaining more clarity, the person added.

Obwohl die Hardware für das nächste iPhone absehbar scheint, ist es mehr und mehr die Software, die Geräte voneinander unterscheidet (und damit die tatsächlich spannenden Fragen weiterhin offen hält).
