Future iPhones Could Have Interchangeable Camera Lenses

Future iPhones Could Have Interchangeable Camera Lenses


Although the iPhone camera is good (and continues to get better), it still can’t provide the flexibility that a camera with interchangeable lenses can. Apple is apparently aware of this, as they’ve filed a patent for an iPhone with swappable glass.

The lens would be part of a removable back panel, and according to Engadget, it’s possible that there could be multiple lenses available on a single panel (though that seems like it would be somewhat ugly and very unlike Apple). Is the era of the interchangable cameraphone lenses upon us? [USPTO via Engadget]
