Apple rumored to equip next iPhone 6S with dual-lens camera and "Force Touch"

Apple is said to adopt a dual-lens design on the next generation iPhone 6. 

Apple may be introducing its biggest camera upgrade in the next generation iPhone 6S.

According to UDN, sources in the Asian supply chain claim that Apple is moving to a dual-lens design for the camera module on the next iPhone. If true, this will be the first iPhone in Apple's history to have optical zoom capabilities. Better low light performance is also touted as one of the new features of the redesigned camera sensor. 

The next iPhone 6S could possibly have a more sensitive touch screen thanks to the integration of "Force Touch", a pressure-sensitive touch technology which was introduced in the Apple Watch. This technology allows the display to recognize the difference between a tap and a heavier press for making different inputs without the need for extra input points or buttons.

It is high time that Apple give the imaging hardware and software on its iPhones a huge boost; we have seen several innovations from other brands such as ASUS's PixelMaster technology and 3X optical zoom in its ZenFone Zoom, HTC's UltraPixel and Duo Camera technologies, and Oppo's swiveling motorized camera module on the N3.

While Apple has set the gold standard for smartphone image quality, we believe Apple is capable of doing more and increasing its lead over the competition.
