iPhones can already be used for underwater photography but the new generations will have IP68 certifications. So the upcoming Apple mobiles will be able to sink into the water without anyone's risk damages.
IP68 certification is one of the steps that Cupertino looks at to improve the quality of iPhone photos when it swims, and this is seen in a recent patent application.
Technically, what Apple wants to do is equip the iPhone with a group of sensors that will be responsible for determining the right settings to take better underwater photos. According to CultOfMac, iPhone sensors could measure the amount of light in water, changes in color, depth, pressure and the distance from the subject.
In other words, if you want to take a picture of a fish, for example, iPhone will be able to correctly determine the settings needed for the photo, all based on an algorithm that collects information from all of these sensors.
Of course we should mention that as with any patent, the above news does not mean that the company is preparing for mass production. At least it gives us a glimpse of Apple's vision for the future possibilities of the iPhone camera.
