Apple received a patent for new iPhone camera technology that takes clearer pictures. The company wants to add two focus lasers instead of one to stop blurry photos. Patent US 12335613 shows how future iPhones could use twin laser beams at different angles. Current iPhones use single infrared light for focusing which sometimes creates fuzzy images. The dual system would help photographers capture sharp photos every time.
The camera app would fire both lasers when users take pictures. Sensors measure distances between objects and lock focus automatically within seconds. If laser readings match each other the camera takes perfect shots. When readings differ the phone switches back to regular single laser mode. This process happens...
