Rumored Slow-Motion Camera To Be Included In iPhone 5S
In the past months, a surprising trend could be observed: supremacy on the smartphone market is closely tied to which smartphone has the best camera, especially if you think about the Samsung Galaxy S4′s “Eraser Shot mode” (that allows you to easily remove offending or unwanted people from your photos) or about the upcoming smartphone from Nokia, the Lumia 1020 that comes with a 41 MP camera. Apple is not a company to lag behind so the rumor that it might include a slow motion camera in the upcoming iPhone 5S is not unbelievable. According to a recent Internet rumor, the next offering in the iPhone line (that many people speculate to be the iPhone 5S, while other think will be the iPhone 6) will come with a very impressive camera that is able to record videos at an amazing 120 fps (frames per second).
Such a slow motion camera would allow iPhone 5S users to capture unique moments on video, such as slowing down the exact moment your kid scores a goal or when your dog does a trick. There is the possibility of this slow motion video feature being exclusive to the iPhone 5S, in Apple’s desire to impress those that are interested in hardware upgrades. The next gen iPhone’s camera might have different upgrades, such as a 13 MP sensor and dual flash.
As impressive as the feature sounds, if it will make an appearance in the iPhone 5S, it won’t be the first time the feature is used in a smartphone’s camera. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is also capable of shooting videos at 120 frames per second; the HTC One also offers a slow motion mode, so as you see, Apple won’t be the first to use make use of this feature in one of its smartphones. Apple’s main advantage is that neither Samsung nor HTC have advertised slow motion as being a big feature, so the Cupertino based giant might concentrate its advertising campaign for the next iPhone around the slow motion feature. The slow motion camera’s codename is Mogul.
If you search for a few smartphone camera comparisons between the iPhone 5′s camera and the other smartphone’s camera you would discover that iPhone 5′s camera will consistently rank in the top as it offers one of the best image quality for photos. That is impressive even though Samsung, HTC and Nokia offer more features in their respective smartphone’s camera. However, Apple is constantly improving and besides the slow motion video feature that is rumored to be included in the iPhone 5S’ camera there are also the iOS 7 effects (that are similar to what Instagram offers), so the iPhone 5S might deliver on all fronts (both hardware and software) for photography aficionados.
A Kantar Worldpanel (a company dealing in consumer knowledge and insights based on continuous consumer panels) recent survey revelas that iOS has gain 3.5 % (over the the same period last year) in the United States, while Android lost 0.1 percents over the same period last year. The iPhone 5S could increase iOS usage in the US, especially if it will also be released with some of the other rumored features (one very interesting rumored feature is a fingerprint sensor). A fingerprint user will let your device and pay for apps with literally a tap of your finger, making passwords a thing of ther past. Either way, iPhone 5S’ rumored features sound very interesting and hopefully we will see tham all included in the device when Apple will release it.
