شایعه دولنزی بودن دوربین آیفون بعدی ، ارزش سهام شرکت سازنده این لنز ها را بالا برد !

A couple of days ago, a new Apple-related rumor that seemed a bit far-fetched started making the rounds. For those of you who are not aware of the story, the idea was that the next-gen iPhone (7) will feature a brand new camera setup comprised of a two-lens system which would allegedly boost the unit’s capabilities to “DSLR quality imagery”.

Dual-camera configurations are not really something out of the ordinary. The HTC One (M8), launched earlier this year, features a so-called “Duo camera” setup, with one unit being used for depth perception.

In any case, even if HTC already used a dual-camera setup, this doesn’t mean that Apple will do too. However, a new series of events seems to have added a bit more weight to the iPhone 7 dual-camera rumor, as the main supplier for such units has recently experienced a massive increase in shares.

Will the Next Gen iPhone (7) Feature a Dual-Lens Camera Setup?
Altek Co. is the world’s first smartphone camera supplier capable of achieving mass production of dual-camera modules. The technology was first seen on the aforementioned HTC One (M8), and now an Altek spokesperson said that the company intends to further develop and improve the technology, which is now expected to have an increased presence on smartphones in 2015.

More to the point, yesterday, the company’s shares increased by 7%, fueled by the rumors according to which the company will supply dual-camera modules for the next gen iPhone. It looks like this surge is due to foreign investors weighing in heavily on Altek’s shares. Now, if this would be a baseless rumors, would these “foreign” companies start investing in Altek?

The only certainty we have at this point is that Altek continues to improve and push its dual-camera modules to the market, and come 2015 we may see an increasing number of smartphones taking advantage of the said technology.
