Apple is investigating the use of multispectral imaging technology for future iPhone cameras, aiming to enhance visual intelligence, material detection, and image processing. This advanced imaging technique captures data across various wavelength bands, including near-infrared, offering potential benefits such as improved material differentiation and enhanced image processing in mixed lighting conditions. Despite its potential, the technology’s complexity and cost implications mean it’s still in the exploratory phase. Meanwhile, future iPhone models are expected to feature advancements like variable apertures in the main lens and larger apertures in the telephoto camera, though 200-megapixel cameras remain unprototyped.
