In "iPhone 7 Plus" which is expected to become the next iPhone, two models are being developed in parallel, and if the dual lens camera of Israel's camera sensor technology development company "LinX Imaging" acquired by Apple in 2015 will be installed , Mac Rumors expects. If LinX Imaging's dual lens camera system is adopted, it is considered possible to miniaturize the camera module, and it is expected that "camera lens protrusion" which is one of features of the iPhone 6 / 6s series will be solved .

LinX Imaging has already developed camera modules with different numbers of lenses "duo" "trio" "4x" and can realize optical zoom at a level that can not be realized with the conventional compact camera module with a high-end dual camera. It seems that it may be possible to install optical zoom function of 2 to 3 times with "iPhone 7 Plus".


KGI Securities analyst KGI Securities who wrote reports based on Mac Rumors information predicts that Apple is developing two different models with different lens numbers to meet a wide range of demands. However, since Apple has been introducing camera function upgrades to the "S" series so far, it is expected that there is a possibility that it will be applied to "iPhone 7s Plus" instead of "iPhone 7 Plus" which will be the next-generation iPhone It is being done.

Although it is unknown what kind of design the iPhone with the dual lens camera will be designed, if you watch a movie of iPhone 7's anticipated design created by the German technology media COMPUTER BILD, you might get a bit of imagination .
