Here are your Apple Rumors for today:
Panorama: Apple (AAPL) has been granted a patent that could help iPhone owners take panoramic photos, reports 9to5Mac. The patent talks about a system that would use the optical image stabilization to capture panoramic shot with only one tap of the screen. It would do this by deliberately moving the camera to capture images to the left and right of the main photo. These images would then be put together by the smartphone, which would automatically give the users the panoramic shot.
Photo: What could be the first image of Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus has been shared online, MacRumors notes. The image of the smartphone shows off what could be the dual-lens camera system that rumors claim the company would add to the iPhone 7 Plus. However, the cameras in the image are surrounded by a pill shape that juts out from the back of the device. Previous rumors and mock-ups have had the cameras sitting flush with the rear case. The image also shows three small dots at the bottom that may be for a Smart Connector.
4K: A new rumor claims that Apple is working on a promo for the iPhone SE that includes 4K footage, reports AppleInsider. If this rumor turns out to be true, it would likely mean that the iPhone SE will come equipped with a camera that’s able to capture 4K footage. This would put the smaller 4-inch iPhone’s camera on par with the one found in the larger iPhone 6s. Previous rumors have claimed that the device would only get modest upgrades, but some also suggested that 4K was an option for the smartphone.
