New iPhone to Have Video Conferencing
April 3, 2009
Listen up everyone. Mac Soda has heard that today’s news of Apple ordering 3.2 and 5 MP cameras is true… however, they are not going to be used for separate devices. According to a Mac Soda source, who has been very accurate about iPhone news in the past, the next iPhone will have two cameras on it, one on the front and one on the back. While he didn’t specifically mention what camera will be on what side, I think its fairly safe to assume that the 3.2 MP camera will be on the front, and the 5 MP one will be on the back. Both cameras will not only be able to shoot video for video conferencing, but they will also be able to record normal videos that can then be stored on the phone, edited, and uploaded to Youtube, Facebook, and MobileMe.
Personally, this is something I really wanted on iPhone 3G, and I will be thrilled if he’s right about this. He also mentioned that the phone will be announced at WWDC, and it will go on sale a few weeks later, but I think by now that’s common knowledge.
We’ll be quick to let you all know if we hear anything else, but for now enjoy this tidbit of info!
UPDATED: As it turns out, the 3.2 megapixel camera is on the back of the iPhone, a .3 MP camera is on the front of the iPhone, and the 5 MP camera will be used for the 10 inch tablet. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Why would they include a 3 megapixel front facing cam? Al you need for video conferencing is .3 megapixel
I Thought iSight on our latest Macs has 1.3MP, 3MP should be sick
DUDE! This would be friggin awesome. I actually heard from a friend that the new iPhone would have 2 cameras, and I hoped that they would front and rear facing, but I didn’t have confirmation until today. This is so great!
I sure hope Apple comes out with something strong enough to compete with Pale Pre, though. (btw, I HATE that device name)
Thanks for another post, btw.
AT&T sucks, btw lol
