Moved iPhone 5 Camera Flash Does Not Make Sense
I’ve often wonder why Apple has decided to move the iPhone’s camera LED flash so far away from the camera lens. Some have reported that perhaps this is to reduce the problem of red eye in photos. Michael Nace at iPhone 5 News Blog seems to disagree.
One of the reasons why the flash has been placed so close to the iPhone 4’s lens is because since it is an LED flash, it is not as powerful as a Xenon flash meaning that in order for the flash to work properly it would have to be situated near the lens. So for the next iPhone to move the lens so far away from the lens could either mean that either the next generation’s iPhone will be sporting a Xenon flash or Apple has come up with a more powerful version of the LED flash.
The iPhone 4 has its fair share of problems with the flash and the photos that were taken which resulted in discoloration which has been blamed on iPhone 4 cases being hastily redesigned around the iPhone 3GS cases which caused the cases being too close to the flash, partially concealing it thus resulting in discoloration. However newer iPhone 4 cases have fixed that problem giving plenty of room for the camera’s flash, so wouldn’t positioning the flash further away from the image sensor cause the same problems too?
While this is entirely just an opinion, Michael Nace does make some pretty solid points. Of course we can’t forget that so far all the purported leaks of iPhone 5 parts and casings have just been rumors, all of which are to be taken with a grain of salt. Any pro photographers out there who care to share their opinions, thoughts and expertise on this matter?
Now here’s an iPhone 6S case that will certainly turn heads, especially when you take into consideration its name which is known as the OnePlus iPhone 6S case. That’s rather weird, don’t you think so? It will certainly take some getting used to before the name rolls off your tongue naturally. Well, we do know that The OnePlus iPhone 6S case can now be purchased for $19.99 a pop, and no, you do not need any kind of invite before you can snag one for yourself.
Each purchase will also be accompanied by an invitation to purchase a OnePlus X, just in case, you know, you would like to tread the Android waters. All in all, it comes in the kind of material as found on the OnePlus One and OnePlus X, which makes it a whole lot harder to lose grip of when you hold it – which is good!
If you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries
With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.
It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.
Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
