iPhones can already be used for underwater photography but the new generations will have IP68 certifications. So the upcoming Apple phones will be able to be submerged in water without the risk of anyone 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, the iPhone's sensors could measure the amount of light in water, its changes Colourdepth, pressure and distance from the subject.
In other words, if you want to take a photo of a fish, for example, the iPhone will be able to correctly determine the settings needed for the photo, all with base an algorithm that collects information from all 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 look at Apple's vision of the future features of the iPhone's camera.
