发布时间 : 2024-03-04
Although Apple's iPhone 16 is still at least half a year away, the news is already flying as usual.
On February 18, foreign users exposed the first rear camera component of the iPhone 16. The components are arranged vertically, rather than diagonally on the current iPhone 15, and are expected to be used in the iPhone 16 Standard edition.
From what we know, the iPhone 16's rear lens design is more like the iPhone 11. The current analysis is that by using the vertical camera layout, Apple can introduce spatial video recording capabilities into the iPhone 16 standard edition, so as to link with its own MR Headset Vision Pro spatial computing device.
Since entering the full-screen era in 2017, Apple iPhone X began to use vertical camera arrangement, but when the two lenses were in a module, it looked more like a whole.
In 2019, the vertical lens ID design of the iPhone 11 was finalized, and it was used for 2 generations, until the iPhone 13 was changed to a diagonal design.
"Is iPhone 12SSSS?", "iPhone X Flashback", "How is this different from iPhone 12?" Foreign users of a piece of ridicule, obviously not satisfied with Apple's "retro" design.
In the past two years, Apple has been trying to build the Vision Pro as a new explosive in the field of consumer electronics, and its market prospects are more valued in the iPhone. Apple claims that the Vision Pro, which starts at $3,499, is the beginning of "spatial computing," which aims to merge the real world with the virtual world to enable augmented reality.
In order to enhance the product selling point, Apple for the Vision Pro headset, by upgrading the iPhone telephoto lens to 48 million pixels, improve the iPhone's ability to shoot spatial video.
Since Apple released the iOS 17.2 update, the iPhone 15Pro and iPhone 15Pro Max models have supported 3D spatial video shooting. According to the media feedback, this kind of shooting plays very well on the Vision Pro.
Not only that, in response to the market feedback product pricing is too high, Apple is also brewing a cheap version of Vision Pro, in order to dominate the field of smart headsets as soon as possible.
