so we have some new information regarding what might be the next iPhone as you can see in the back here these leaks have existed for a little while now of this strange camera array on the back of what looks like an iPhone so at first you know usually happens with your typical leaks you get renders from people that are based on rumors and possibly schematics if available in order to insinuate what the next version of a particular device might look like or some kind of unreleased device well today we have a new schematic which points in the direction of this particular design being a possible reality a potential reality this is the schematic right here and what you can see is that it has a very particular cutout in the metal component that would make up the back piece of the device and that cutout indicates a design like this it indicates multiple cameras on the back beyond what we've currently seen on iPhones as they exist today now as you know you've been following the smartphone game the mega camera setups on the back of flagship smartphones have become the thing I'm using this guy right here this is the galaxy s 10 that's a triple camera setup on the back recently took a look at the p30 Pro from Huawei that's a quad camera setup on the back so there is definitely a contest going on in the flagship smartphone space for packin cameras into smartphones actual lenses that can do different things it's an area where Apple has been a bit slow to evolve that said that looks to change potentially with the next version of iPhone so what might you ask for what might you get with these extra cameras well the obvious one would be another aspect and another viewpoint another perspective which could be delivered potentially through a wide-angle lens it's a feature that exists on this Samsung it exists on other devices include that Huawei p30 that I recently mentioned although this cutout that Apple's doing looks more like the mate series from Huawei than the new p30 but nonetheless a feature like that a wide angle allowing you to capture a more of a frame it could be useful for architecture it can be useful for capturing a group especially in a small space where you can't back up any further to put more into the frame at least I hope that's what one of these cameras will represent for the next generation iPhone now as you know smartphone sales have kind of slowed down a bit especially at the flagship level the Samsung Galaxy S 10 appears to be a bit of an unusual case where it was recently released at a high price point and according to Samsung it's seen some degree of success which is kind of unusual or at least unexpected from certain analysts given the fact that the marketplace has softened up a bit now what can you equate that to is it the camera setup on the back is it possibly this whole punch in the OLED display is it a whole package deal where people on a Samsung side waiting for something to happen we don't really know but this arms race happening in the smartphone space at the flagship level doesn't appear to be slowing down and if Apple wants to remain competitive against brands like Samsung and like Huawei which by the way that rounds out the top three smartphone manufacturers then they're gonna have to do some things that are obvious and as much as this type of innovation here with adding more cameras into the phone as much as that gives you a functional outcome where you can do more and take different types of photos what's important with these smartphones as they've become an extension and representation of us and our tastes is that you want to pull it out you want to hold it up and say I got the fresh one you want the device itself to say hey I'm the fresh one at least for a certain segment a certain group of clientele and that's what this thing will do whether you like it hate it think it looks good or ugly it will immediately tell people that you have the brand-new factory fresh and likely very expensive iPhone next generation so this is looking more feasible now based on this particularly Kisan this schematic along side with the other rumors coming from reliable leakers and the various sources reporting on this now I think we can safely say that the next generation of iPhone is going to have a different camera layout than the current version and likely an extra camera built into it
