A recent
patent application of Apple hints at the possibility that users of the iPhone
will soon have the capability of changing the camera lens of their devices. The
patent application was published recently and it covers a mobile electronic
device like a mobile phone.
The patent
shows that the back panel of the device may be removed, which would give users the
capability of changing the lens on the camera of the device. However this will
be a major change from the design of the iPhone since the company would
normally deliver a device that is completely sealed.
For the
moment, iPhone photography enthusiasts are using add-ons in order to make
modifications on the lens of the device. This may change once the capability of
switching the lens is incorporated into the design of the iPhone of Apple.
It may
appear that the patent may have been a part of the grand plans of the late
Steve Jobs in making the cameras of the iPhone more appealing to photography
enthusiasts. Jobs also had some interest in photography and had envisioned an
enhanced camera during a meeting with the CEO of Lytro, Ren Ng, last year.
