Reports say that Apple is now working closely with Korean tech giant LG on a dual camera which will be capable of 3D photography effects on the iPhone's 10th anniversary.
At least that's according to the latest rumours on the iPhone 8 which suggests Apple is now working with LG to develop the technology. The addition of a 3D camera will be exactly what Apple needs right now since their fans have been quite upset because the latest iPhone 7 sports the same design Apple has been using for a while now and they need to add something new or fans will lose interest in their devices. In a report by The Korea Economic Daily, it is said that reliable sources have said that Apple is now conducting studies as to how it would apply a 3D camera technology through LF Innotek's smartphone camera.
Apple has rumoredly tied up with LG Innotek for the production of the 3D camera sensors for the future iPhone model.
LG Innotek already supplies the dual lens units for the iPhone 7 Plus.
With the Rumour Apple's acquisition of Linux Imaging company comes into the picture and the Apple also acquired the Israeli start-up a year ago in April and the company also took the ownership giving permission to access for all the technologies coming in, following the acquisition. What LinX Imaging does is that they create 3D depth mapping for pictures, and this seems to go hand in hand with LG's Innotek camera.
Earlier this year, Apple unveiled its new and improved smartphone photography technology, but the next-generation iPhone might pack an even more impressive camera.
Since LG Innotek has its own 3D camera and other related technologies, such collaboration is very likely to be fruitful and the results will be seen by the public next year.
