Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), is still locked in the obsession to make the camera more striking or larger, perhaps it would be more efficient to focus efforts on what is really important, that the image looks better in adverse conditions
Be that as it may, Apple has already bet very strongly on the two lenses in its terminals long ago, a culture of the double camera that has spread to telephony of all ranges. Now analysts are almost certain that the Cupertino firm is preparing a terminal with three lenses and some special capabilities.
It is the iDrop News team that has shared supposedly confidential information about these thoughts that the Cupertino company has for the 2019 iPhone and that involves placing a third sensor on the rear lens. The fault would be the Augmented Reality, that is, it would include a sensor with 3D capabilities that allows the terminal to perform better Augmented Reality functionalities, especially now that the hardware measures up and it is time to focus on alternative peripherals. These cameras with three lenses would hide a lot of technology inside, in theory it would be a mixed hardware that we already know.
Indeed, Apple would be thinking of implementing the True Depth system that currently includes its front camera and facial reader sensors to offer more efficient results in taking conventional photographs. In this way they would achieve a x3 optical zoom and a series of lossless digital magnifications through the various sensors.. We cannot say that this project does not dream of exciting, if it were a reality, it would be difficult for the company to compete with the cameras offered by the iPhone X, although all this is little more than a project in this phase of development. Apple has thus found one more reason to continue betting on ARKit 2 and Augmented Reality.
