The iPhone 4 relies on a single LED to illuminate its photography, but a new report from industry rag Digitimes states that Apple may be mimicking other manufacturers, and moving to a dual LED system:
Recent market rumors have indicated that Apple’s iPhone 5 is likely to come with a dual-LED flash with Taiwan-based LED packaging firms Everlight Electronics, Edison Opto and Lite-On Technology being pinpointed as potential suppliers. All related companies have denied they are involved in the production of dual-LED flashes.
For example, check out the HTC HD7, which has two LEDs. This won’t make a huge difference to how the iPhone handles, but should provide some additional illumination while shooting in dark conditions — though LED flashes will give everything you snap a pretty pail pallor. Earlier this year, we heard rumors that the iPhone 4S would have a redesigned back with a shifted flash, and this seems to support that idea.
