As you see in the back here, these leaks have existed for a little while now of this strange camera array on the back of what looks like an iPhone.

So at first you know usually happens with your typical leaks.

You get renders from people that are based on rumors and possibly schematics if available, in order to insinuate what the next version of a particular device might look like.

Or some kind of unreleased device.

Well, today we have a new schematic which points in the direction of this particular design being a possible reality, a potential reality.

This is the schematic right here.

And what you can see is that has a very particular cut out in the metal component that would make up the back piece of the device.

And that cut out indicates a design like this.

It indicates multiple cameras on the back, beyond what we've currently seen on iPhones as they exist today.

Now, as you know, you've been following the smartphone game.

The mega camera set ups on the back of flagship smart phones have become the thing I'm using this guy right here.

This is the Galaxy s 10.

That's a triple camera set up on the back recently took a look at the P 30 pro from wall way.

That's a quad camera set up on the back.

So there is definitely a contest going on in the flagship smartphone space for packing cameras into smartphones, actual lenses that can do different things.

It's an area where Apple has been a bit slow to evolve.

That said, that looks to change potentially with the next version of iPhone.

So what might you ask for?

What might you get with these extra cameras?

While the obvious one would be another aspect and another viewpoint?

Another perspective, which could be delivered potentially through a wide angle lens?

It's a feature that exists on this Samsung.

It exists on other devices, including that Wall Way p 30 that I recently mentioned, although this cut out that Apple's doing looks more like the mate Siri's from Wall Way than the new P 30.

But nonetheless, a feature like that a wide angle allowing you to capture Maur of a frame.

It could be useful for architecture.

It could be useful for capturing a group, especially in a small space where you can't back up any further to put more into the frame.

At least I hope that's what one of these cameras will represent for the next generation iPhone.

Now, as you know, smartphone sales have kind of slowed down a bit, especially at the flagship level.

The Samsung Galaxy s 10 appears to be a bit of an unusual case where it was recently released at a high price point.

And according to Samsung, it seems some degree of success, which is kind of unusual, or at least unexpected, from certain analysts.

Given the fact that the marketplaces softened up a bit.

Now what?

Can you equate that, too?

Is it the camera set up on the back?

Is it possibly this hole punch in the old and display?

Is it a whole package deal?

Were people on the Samsung side waiting for something to happen?

We don't really know.

But this arms race happening in a smartphone space at the flagship level doesn't appear to be slowing down.

And if Apple wants to remain competitive against brands like Samsung and, like Wal, wait, which, by the way, that rounds out the top three smartphone manufacturers.

Then they're gonna have to do some things that are obvious.

And as much as this type of innovation here with adding more cameras into the phone as much as that gives you ah, functional outcome where you could doom or and take different types of photos.

What's important with these smartphones as they become an extension and representation of us and our taste is that you want to pull it out.

You want to hold it up and say, I got the fresh one.

You want the device itself to say, Hey, I'm the fresh one, at least for a certain segment, a certain group of clientele And that's what this thing will do whether you like it.

Hate it, think it looks good or ugly.

It will immediately tell people that you have the brand new factory, fresh and likely, very expensive iPhone next generation.

So this is looking more feasible now, based on this particular league based on this schematic alongside, with the other rumors coming from reliable leakers and the various sources reporting on this now, I think we can safely say that the next generation of iPhone is gonna have a different camera layout than the current version and likely an extra camera built into it.
