Website Apple.pro has unearthed a new photo purported to show Apple’s next generation of iPhone with a separate rear camera lens and LED flash. The back panel looks to keep the lens on the left hand side, but moves the flash to the right hand side. It’s been reported that the separation of the lens and flash is coming to improve photo quality and to reduce the “red-eye” effect which has plagued low-light photos taken with the iPhone 4.Although this photo – found on a blog and leaked by an unknown source – is new, this rumor is not. Previous photos of third-party cases designed for the fifth-generation iPhone have suggested that the lens and flash will be separated, and also that Apple has increased the size of the display. This move will likely require Apple to use a new camera component, as the camera lens and flash are a single component in the current iPhone.
This isn’t the first leak that Apple.pro has made. Previously, the site leaked that the iPod Nano would receive a touchscreen – which it did in its current model. However, the site has been known to miss on rumors, including one posted in February saying that Apple was testing three different prototypes for the next iPhone, including one which had a sliding physical keyboard. This rumor was widely panned and quickly died out. It is, however, likely that there will be some form of change to the camera and lens assembly in the next iPhone.
