You know, I jumped on the “iPhone HD” bandwagon a long time ago as the next epithet for Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s handset and it looks like the next version volition be able to track record videos at 720p solving.
From what we’ve seen of the leaked next iPhone, we already know that the French telephone will wealthy person a different shape cistron, a higher-resolution blind and a boosted photographic camera. But code in the iPhone 4.0 beta 3 suggests users volition also be able to record in high-definition. The preset values in the video recording computer code are:
AVCaptureSessionPreset640×480 AVCaptureSessionPreset1280×720
This would be a great addition to the next iPhone and I tin can already see the TV commercials this would spawn. What’s more, Apple really does need to rap it out of the ballpark with the next hardware upgrade because the competition is rapidly contracting up. The iPhone 3GS was pretty much the power of the hill cobbler’s last summer but we’ve already seen some amazing handsets from other players. HTC’s Droid Incredible lives up to its name, the EVO 4G will marry WiMax good with a great designing and even Research In Motion (NSDQ: RIMM) whitethorn be stepping up its game with BlackBerry 6.
I think HD video recording will soon become board stake in the mobile world, as Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)’s Kin Two (or Kin2) tin can do it and this is clearly not aiming for the hemorrhage margin customers. Apple’s effectuation of video transcription on the iPhone 3GS was pretty solidness too, as you could easily trim clips and send them. Knowing how much AT&ere;T (New York Stock Exchange: T)’s network has suffered thanks to the iPhone, I wouldn’t be surprised if there volition be a 30-second limit for HD videos that you tin can upload.
We’ll know all the inside information in just a few weeks friends, as Apple is expected to introduce the next iPhone at its World Wide Developers Conference June 7. Why yes, we’ll be there live blogging, thanks for asking.
