Scroll down for video The Silicon Valley giant intends to build on its current dual-lens camera by launching a successor to the iPhone XS Max that features three rear cameras With a triple lens setup, the next top-of-the-line iPhone will be able to capture a larger field of view, as well as a wider range of zoom. The camera will capture more pixels so that Apple might be able to edit a video or photo to be able to fit in someone who was cut off by the original shot, Bloomberg said. Additionally, the Live Photos feature will mean that it can capture videos that are six seconds long, instead of just three seconds. Apple is also expected to introduce a more powerful 3D camera in all three of its upcoming phones, which will enable advanced augmented reality applications. It will be powered by a laser scanner, instead of a dot projection system, so that it can pick up objects from farther away. Aside from cameras, the new iPhones may also include a big switch to the USB-C charging protocol. A report claims Apple may move from its current lightning cables to USB-C. The change, if implemented, would make all current Apple chargers for its iPhones obsolete (stock) Apple has used a Lightning port on its phones since 2012, Bloomberg noted. If it switches to USB-C, that means iPhones could use the same chargers that power many other types of handsets, ranging from Samsung to Huawei phones. But, it also means that all current Apple chargers for its iPhones would be come obsolete in the new devices. Users would be forced to ditch their old Lightning cables for USB-C chargers. Apple chargers sell for roughly £20 ($25) for an official cable and replica versions are also available for far less. The company has already moved to the USB-C cables for its iPad Pro.
