**The Future of iPhones: Folding Cameras and Optical Zoom**

Do we even do about this? Do we just cut it out of the show, and just no? I don't have any answers. We're just going to leave it in okay, last up what a weird show, last story of the day. Let's talk about iphones and specifically cameras in iphones. I was gonna do something really cool, but like they're not gonna do the thing that I want them to do. Let me explain.

In recent news, Korea it news has put out a report saying that apple is actually looking for suppliers for folded cameras. Now this wouldn't be a first, companies like Samsung already do this. A folded camera effectively acts as a periscope, it refracts light through the lenses that are placed horizontally instead of vertically. Obviously, phones are getting thinner and thinner, so the benefit here is that this will give them more space because you're going down the other side of the phone. This would give them much better optical zoom capabilities, not digital, where they're like "is we're zooming in but they're not really, you're just cropping the already existing pixels." This is optically zooming in to a subject.

This is how Samsung achieves their 1,000 times zoom, whatever it's called. So, if apple wants to do this and do it right, it's looking like they're gonna have to reach out to Sammy once again, we're like "hey can we use your shirt now?" That's cool, that's all great. Optically zooming in further to see into the moon's butthole is amazing, but and this is just what I want okay, they're not gonna do it, I'm gonna make that clear. They're not gonna do this, it's just what I want personally, and I don't think it's asking too much, I want them to use this in the extra space to just get rid of the camera bump. Like if they use this technically, they don't need the camera bump, they can just get rid of it.

I know they're not going to do it, I know they're gonna keep the gamer bump there and just stuff a bunch in there to do optical zoom stuff and fantastic fine cool, but I know that they know they could get rid of the camera bump and they're not gonna do it. Also, I don't think they're gonna do this for the iPhone 13 or the next one whatever it's gonna be called, so obviously, this sort of drums up speculation that the next iPhone that we see in 2021 um we'll use this technology but uh no, if they're just shopping around now for this stuff, it's don't expect it next year, major game plan stuff for iPhone 13 is already set in stone.

Obviously, we have to go through a few prototypes, but something like this is too big especially if they're just now shopping now, to include this, this won't happen until at least 2022. Just want to throw that out there to sort of manage your expectations even if you hear about it coming to iPhone 13.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enapple is about to do something so cool but it is apple so they'll probably frack it up want tech news in a way that doesn't suck subscribe and turn on notifications for because i said so yo what's going on guys welcome back to front page tech fpt vapor the show that gives you all it is tech news one geek that is me to another that is you hey if you watch the show like later on in the day after it comes out then you're probably missing the live premieres it's still the same show there's literally no difference other than the fact that you get to watch it live when it first gets posted the show always comes out at 9 15 eastern time whether it's uploaded normally or premiered live just like this so of course if you do want to watch it live that's the time to tune in and catch it we've been doing this for every episode lately there's usually a few thousand people in there so the chat is kind of a mess but i usually am there i usually hang out watch the chat and see your reactions to the show live so if you think watching the show with me is kind of cool then try to catch one of those premieres if you want to be part of the watch party that's like the fresh toilet squad first to sit on the toilet first to watch the show uh speaking of show let's do one of those alright so first up for the day story numero uno before we jump into the iphone 13 and camera stuff let's first talk about well i guess it's about apple but more about samsung sort of about apple but more about samsung i got sneeze so we've been talking about apple's air tags for a long time now many many moons if you've been watching this show for a while you know that a few months ago we actually leaked the final design for what will become air tags but since they're not out yet and apple seems to be taking their good old time with these things samsung decided to become mr steal your air tags samsung is apparently working on something called the galaxy smart tag uh and i i don't think it's a mystery as to what that might be now back in august samsung did talk about their smartthings find feature uh within their galaxy products that will help you track things at a greater accuracy we knew about that so this is this is find my for iphone but on samsung devices and apparently they're about to take this one step further because blog sam mobile actually spotted a brand new device in the indonesian telecom certification filings a device called galaxy smart tag i mean can you even blame them from what i know from my sources apple has actually had air tags done for a while now so why we don't have them yet i don't really know so i can't really blame samsung for being like all right if you're gonna take your time we're just gonna slide in here oh sammy be sliding in like this all i'm asking samsung is that you just hurry up i would love to be able to get these things and use them to help locate uh where the hell air tags are all right so next up when apple announced the brand new iphones they also announced a new wireless charger it was like air power but like less blowy uppy no overheating problems no safety concerns this was a rather simple solution for wirelessly charging like your iphone and your apple watch the magsafe duo the only issue is it didn't come out then they announced it in october but then they were like it's coming out later and so we all thought it was just gonna be air powered and go away but now it seems like we might get it after all some brand new reports are now stating that the magsafe duo charger will launch later this month how much later well according to this article from nine to five mac they're saying an online switzerland retailer suggests that it would come out december 21st so i would just keep an eye out for that wait a minute what frank me did he just come out are you kidding me as i'm recording this episode magsafe duo is now of it literally just came out during the recording of this episode what like for real if you go to apple's website right now you can buy it for 129 and it'll be delivered later on this week as early as december 3rd what are you serious like what are the odds that this happens to me this is never ev this is the first this has never happened on this show before what are the odds like do we do i cut this out of the show do i just what do we even do about this do we just i think we just cut it out of the show and just no i don't have no we're just going to it we're going to leave it in okay last up what a weird show last story of the day let's talk about
