Code hidden within iOS 9 Files hints at upcoming iPhone improvements, suggesting Apple could potentially be planning to introduce a Front-Facing Camera With flash support, the ability to capture 1080p video, and several rear-facing Camera capabilities, like Pa**rama and Slo-Mo modes.
"CAMCaptureCapabilities" Files in iOS 9 discovered by developer Hamza Sood have file names like "[CAMCaptureCapabilities isFront1080p120Supported]," which seems to refer to the Front-Facing Camera on the iPhone. At the current time, the Front-Facing "FaceTime" Camera is able to capture 1.2-megapixel photos and record 720p HD video.
There's ** indication that these particular file names reflect Apple's upcoming plans for the Front-Facing camera, but it's possible that these are Improvements we may see in the future. The Front-Facing Camera has always lagged behind the rear-facing Camera in order to save space, but With the increasing popularity of "selfies," Apple may choose to introduce some major upgrades to the Front-Facing Camera in the future.
Rumors have suggested that the rear-facing Camera will be gaining some major improvements With the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus, so it's a reasonable assumption that the Front-Facing Camera may also see Improvements at the same time. There have been hints suggesting the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus could see the biggest camera jump Apple's ever introduced, adopting near-DSLR image quality.
Apple did recently acquire a company that specializes in dual-sensor cameras that produce better images and are capable of capturing 3D imagery, but it is **t k**wn if that tech**logy will make it into the new iPhones. Apple is expected to introduce the two new devices in the fall, perhaps in mid-September, based on past release timelines.
