New video compares iPhone 4S, 'iPhone 5' parts side-by-side - Page 2

If this has been planted by Apple the past couple of months and the new iPhone looks completely different...then Apple, I mean really, rules.

This video would seem more credible if it didn't refer to "iPhone 5" as if it meant something.

Leaked parts images have become a daily occurrence. But so far I haven't seen/heard about any improvements to the camera. I don't expect more megapixels, but I'm wonder if more powerful processors will improve image quality (over the 4S) for either stills or video.

iDownload Blog reported a Rumor: next iPhone may feature an HD Facetime camera earlier this year.  The current FaceTime (front camera) is a meager 0.3 MP VGA 30 FPS (480p).

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple improved the Image Signal Processor (ISP) on the new iPhone as well.  

I believe a f/2.2 aperture is possible but not likely for the iSight camera.

Apple could offer the ability to capture panoramic photographs and/or simultaneous video/still capture.  Apparently, Omnivision’s OV8830, the camera sensor integrated into the iPhone 4S, is capable of 24fps in 8 MP mode (3264 x 2448 in 4:3) or 6-megapixel (3264 x 1836) resolution at 30 fps in a 16:9 format.  The Omnivision OV8830 features an integrated scaler, 2x2 binning, re-sampling filter, alternate row high dynamic range timing support, context switching, temperature sensing, 4 Kbits of one-time programmable memory, lens shading correction, and defect pixel correction.

Apple is likely to wait for the Omnivision OV12830 for a 12 MP camera sensor (which was only released in May 2012) as the package size for the Omnivision OV10810 10 MP camera sensor has a rather considerable package size at 9785 x 6885 µm.  The Omnivision OV10810 does not compare favorably to the Omnivision 8830 which has a package size of 4592 x 3450 µm.

Pshh, like that matters. It'll be blocked by everyone. Hi-yo!

But yeah, that sounds quite plausible. At least 1.3MP in front.

There does look to be two ground connectors inside the port but that still counts as one on the pinout.

Thanks.
