iPhone 3.0: Camera features rumor round-up
Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference is right around the corner (June 8!), and the rumor mill has been buzzing with iPhone rumors. While it is most likely that there will be no new iPhone model announced at WWDC next week, iPhone 3.0 software is supposed to come up at the Keynote (sans Steve Jobs). Thus, here’s a round-up up of some of the rumored 3.0 camera features and potential iPhone camera upgrades:
- Jason D. O’Grady & David Morgenstern here at ZDNet predict video shooting capability, but no definite details on flash or other features. (ZDNet: The Apple Core)
- Mac Rumors seems to have found a screenshot confirming video recording. They also predict an auto-focus camera, but Wired says this is unlikely. (Mac Rumors)
- The new iPhone will feature a video camera on the iPhone’s face and back, allowing video chat on the front end. (PC World)
- Omnivision Technologies supposedly got orders from Apple for 3.2, or maybe even 5-megapixel camera units. (Fast Company)
- Not just iPhones will get camera upgrades, but Apple is installing camera functions in its standard iPods as well. (Apple Insider)
