iPhone 6 Rumors: Electronic Image Stabilization to Be Featured on Camera
The iPhone 6 camera could feature an innovative technology known as electronic image stabilization.
Weibo reports that the device's point and shooter will use a larger pixel size of 1.75 instead of the 1.5 found on the 5s. This will result in higher picture quality.
Apple might also integrate electronic image stabilization which will allow the device to have a slimmer camera that will not protrude out of the body. This supports some the previous rumors that point to Apple releasing and extremely thin iPhone Air model.
The company is expected to launch two new iPhones this year: a 4.7-inch and a 5.5-inch version.
The launch of the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 has been pushed back due to issues with its battery, according to a report from earlier this month.
Apple is struggling to find a sufficient battery that measures at 2 mm or less that will fit the device's "very thin" profile, according to a new report from Taiwan's Industrial and Commercial Times.
The report also states that Apple suppliers are calling the 5.5-inch model the "iPhone Air." This device would join Mac's line-up that also consists of an iPad Air and a MacBook Air.
The iPhone 6 release is now rumored for September as components for the device are starting to be manufactured in preparation for the date. This could still end up being the launch time for the 4.7-inch iPhone model.
A previous report from the Japanese business newspaper Nikkei claims that manufacturers have already begun making fingerprint sensors, liquid crystal drivers and chips for the device.
Mass production of LCD panels will start as early as next month at Sharp's Kameyama factory, Japan's Mobara plant along with other locations, according to the sources. The new models are expected to have much higher resolutions screens than the ones found on the iPhone 5s and 5c.
