Next iPhone’s camera may get a pixel boost
An industry observer says Apple’s upcoming iPhones will increase the pixel count from 8 pixels to 12. The pixels would be smaller, though, which could affect picture quality.
Will Apple bump up the pixel count on the iPhone’s camera this year? One person in the know says so.
This year’s iPhones, most likely to be dubbed the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, will raise the pixel count of the rear camera to 12 megapixels from the current 8, said the chief executive at market intelligence firm IHS China. He made the claim Thursday via a post to Chinese social network Sina Weibo. If what he said is true, this would be the first time Apple has boosted the pixel count on its flagship phone’s camera since it increased it from 5MP to 8MP with the debut of the iPhone 4S in 2011.
But that jump in pixel count could come at a price. To achieve the higher count, Apple would reduce the actual size of each pixel. And why might that be bad? Smaller pixels are less sensitive to light, which can lead to poorer-quality photos with more noise, especially those taken in low-light conditions. So there’s a trade-off with a higher pixel count and a smaller pixel size.
The whole subject of pixel count has inspired much debate.
Certain Lumia smartphones have received kudos for their high-quality photos. The Lumia 808 and 1020 both come with a 41-megapixel camera. But does the pixel count account for the high quality, or are there other factors involved?
Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus use 8-megapixel cameras, but both of those phones have been cited for their photo-taking skills. Apple has in the past avoided the popular trend of constantly increasing the pixel count and has instead worked on other features to enhance the camera, such as improved autofocus and optical image stabilization on the 6 Plus. So even if Apple lowers the size of the pixels to achieve a greater pixel count, the company is likely to enhance the camera in other ways that would still ensure high-quality photos.
下代蘋果電話或將進步像素
一位行業視察家表現下代蘋果電話像素將由800萬進步至1200萬。
本年蘋果公司會進步蘋果電話的像素嗎?知戀人士表現會的。
市場諜報公司IHS的董事表現本年的蘋果電話被稱為是蘋果6s和蘋果6s plus，其攝像頭像素將由今朝的800萬進步至1200萬。本周四，該董事經由過程中國交際收集微博揭櫫了博文。2011年，蘋果公司宣布蘋果4s，將電話像素從500萬像素進步至800萬像素。假如他所說的屬實，那末這將是自2011年以後，蘋果公司初次提妙手機像素。
然則進步像素也是有價值的。為了進步團體像素，蘋果公司將減低每一個像素的現實巨細。那末這有甚麽弊端呢?較小的像素對光的敏感度下降，這將致使照片質量低，攝影聲音大，光芒前提差時攝影特別如斯。是以，教高像素數與較低像素尺寸之間個調和。
有關像素數的話題引發了劇烈的評論辯論。
諾基亞Lumia系列機型因其高質量圖片備受表彰。Lumia 808 和1020像素都為4100萬像素。然則像素高就可以包管高質嗎?是不是另有其他影響身分?
蘋果6和蘋果6Plus相機都是800萬像素，然則這兩款電話都因其攝影技能著稱。蘋果公司防止追隨風行趨向，賡續進步像素。相反，蘋果公司致力於加強相機機能的其他方面，好比進步了蘋果6Plus電話主動對焦功效及光學穩像功效。是以，縱然進步像素的同時下降了其他像素尺寸，蘋果公司也會經由過程其他方法改進相機，確保拍出高質圖片。
