Acquisitions of companies by Apple do not stop and in this case it's up to a Spektral call, which focuses on image processing. In this case, what stands out most about this company based in Denmark is that it allows you to superimpose backgrounds on images and videos, allowing you to improve the functions of the camera and this is something that interests Apple.
The important is keep moving forward with new technologies and sometimes those of Cupertino prefer to jump into the purchase of a company than to investigate the evolution of that function, this is what having billions of dollars has. We are also sure that Spektral has made a good deal with Apple and without knowing specific details of the purchase operation, surely the entire engineering staff becomes part of Apple.
Processing images in real time is the main virtue
The truth is that "no one" knew about this company until Apple has crossed their path. In this sense, it should be noted that the cameras of Apple devices and the rest of the companies that manufacture smartphones with good cameras, they do an excellent job of image processing, since the hardware is improved but there is not much margin due to the very small sizes of the lenses and other hardware components.
In this case, the use that Apple could make of this technology that allows image and video processing is unknown. in real time to separate people and objects from the background, eliminate unwanted elements or place others, something that we will surely see in a while implemented in the iPhone camera although we will not realize it.
Apple does not advance details of any kind and speculate with the possibilities offered by Spektral software It is the least risky, what is certain is that the purchase is made for some reason and Apple will have its own to carry out this operation. What is certain is that the camera of the new iPhone and the following continues to receive improvements, especially at the software level.
