iOS 6, iPhone 5 and improved camera abilities

Last month, Apple unveiled iOS 6 at WWDC 2012. iOS 6 introduced a series of features including Apple Maps, Siri on the iPad, Facebook integration ,and FaceTime over celluar networks.

Now Apple releases iOS 6 beta 3, which brings new Maps settings and Mail icons with so-called “bug fixes and improvements”. Apple’s iOS 6 is expected in the fall, possibly with the release of iPhone 5.

iPhone 5 might get DSLR-like replaceable camera lenses

With the unveiling of iOS 6 during the WWDC 2012, we know that iPhone 5 is getting close to us now. And many websites are touting that the release date could hit as early as September 2012.

A recent Apple patent filing for replaceable lenses on the iPhone shows that Apple will continue to strengthen its photography ability. As we know, iPhone has been the most popular camera on Flickr for years. (Note: There are 3 most popular camera from Apple: iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S). I think the replaceable lenses will bring an advantage to iPhone 5, especially when iOS 6 will upgrade with the sharing features like PhotoStream and iOS-wide integration of support for Twitter and Facebook.
