Apple Developing Custom Image Sensor for Future iPhones

Apple is reportedly developing a custom image sensor for future iPhones, aiming for a dynamic range comparable to the human eye, potentially surpassing current smartphone cameras and even professional cinema cameras like the ARRI ALEXA 35.

The sensor design, described in a recent patent, features a stacked architecture with two layers: a sensor die for light capture and a logic die for processing, incorporating innovative technologies like Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitors (LOFIC) to handle extreme lighting differences and on-chip noise suppression.

This move towards a custom sensor would give Apple complete control over the image pipeline, similar to its shift away from using hardware from companies like Intel and Qualcomm, and the sensor is reportedly already developed and in testing phase.

Apple Reinvents the Iris: New Patent Reveals Soft-Membrane Aperture for Future iPhone Cameras

Apple has just unveiled another bold move in its mission to revolutionize mobile imaging.

A newly published patent reveals a soft, flexible membrane-based aperture system that could replace traditional mechanical iris designs in future iPhone cameras.

This could mark a major step toward turning the iPhone into a truly pro-level filmmaking tool.

And yes—it’s as ambitious as it sounds.

Apple’s Active Cooling Patent.

That’s almost 10% of World Population.

Not far behind.

Very exciting times ahead......👀

This is Genie 3, Google DeepMind just cooked something unbelievable 🔥 How is this even possible?

OpenAI has released two new open-weight AI models called gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b.

The larger gpt-oss-120b model is comparable to o4-mini, and the smaller gpt-oss-20b is closer to o3-mini in performance.
