Apple not only intends to refresh its iPhone and iPad with aspects such as cameras in future editions: it also plans some novelties in the software that controls them.
This at least is deduced from a series of documents that, as has become customary, have been leaked on their way to the United States patent office. In these papers, it is noted that those of Cupertino would be working on a series of improvements in order to obtain better results in the photographs captured by the cameras of their next generation mobiles and tablets.

Among the tweaks that Apple would have programmed for the iPhone 5 and iPad 2, we know that there would be three that stand out especially. These would be focused on correcting some defects in the capture so that the final image was as sharp as possible.
To do this, I would apply "real-time" filters designed for images that once captured have blurred results, artificial skin tones or a system for compensating excess noise due to lack of light that acts almost at the same time we take the photo.. With these three patents, corrections could be attributed that, although they would not be automatic (at least, not all), they would be applied with great agility.
On the other hand, Apple would have designed another seven systems with new features for the camera application that we would find in iPhone 5 and iPad 2. However, from Phone Arena, from where they have echoed this information, they do not pay as much relevance to these other patents, mainly because they are mostly effects and functions that we can already find in a similar way in other operating systems.
Among these, we detected another correction function to reduce noise in the image, as well as to map the predominant tones in the frame from the colors that are part of the image.
If we continue analyzing possible new patents for cameras tablet next and the new manzanófono, we see that incorporate a continuous shooting function (although no precise capture rate) and a rather curious that graduate the exposure time function of the position of the device (a mechanism that would act together with the accelerometer). The rest of the patents would be applied for actions with the video function.
