After years of watching our smartphone cameras multiply their megapixels every year, now what are multiplying are the objectives. At this point in which every self-respecting mid-range and high-end phone already includes two lenses in its rear camera, Huawei has already set the bar on the three lenses, and it seems almost certain that the iPhone that Apple will present in 2019 will also choose for the triple objective.
As reported by the Economic Daily News this new feature will grant new functions to the iPhone, such as the possibility of capturing 3D images as well as improvements in the zoom of the rear camera, the great weak point of smartphones if we compare them with conventional cameras. ç
This new camera would have capabilities to get 3D images by being able to capture images of an object from two different angles, as the two objectives are further apart than in current cameras. Using a triangulation system, the distance to the object could easily be calculated. This would also be used for augmented reality, as the front camera of the iPhone X can do right now thanks to the multiple sensors located in the "notch" that is now fashionable for other brands.
In addition to these 3D and augmented reality functionalities that Apple will surely use to improve the functions that we are now beginning to see in iOS 11 and that will be much more complex and advanced in 2019, the triple lens will allow the iPhone to have at least 3x zoom according to the same source. Since the introduction of the iPhone 7 Plus with its double rear camera, the iPhone is capable of capturing photos with 2x zoom, a system that improved with the iPhone X with more quality of the photos captured with this magnification.
