Apple iPhone 6 to stick to 8 MP camera?
By Deepanshu Kumar, March 24th, 2014
Apple may keep an 8-megapixel sensor for its rear camera, according to the rumors. Instead of going for the megapixel count, the Cupertino-based company will focus on improving the lens system and image quality. Earlier we’ve heard rumors about the iPhone 6 to have a 10-megapixel camera with a F/1.8 aperture, and use swappable resin lenses.
As that’s usually the case with Apple, nothing is official until it’s official. We do know that Cook & Co. couldn’t care less about many trends, let alone those related to camera. As other device manufacturers like Samsung and HTC are attempting to impress consumers with 16MP camera sensor on the Galaxy S5 and the HTC One 2 (M8), Apple is reportedly sticking with the 8MP standard that the tech giant had introduced via the iPhone 4s in 2011.But it doesn't mean that the iPhone maker is become stagnant on its smartphone camera technology, Apple official said in a report. On the contrary, the company is unpacking a very much improve shooter in the iPhone 6 - it's just that the focus is different.
"Apple will likely forego a high-megapixel camera in its 2014 iPhone offerings, in favour of tweaking other image-enhancing components. In other words, megapixels are less of a priority for Apple than overall image quality," Apple Insider said.
