Nokia changed the mobile camera forever with its 41 megapixel bearing Nokia 808 PureView, and now it seems that Apple is going to follow this path. Patent has been filed by the Apple that will give iPhone camera a lot of similarity with DSRL cameras in the sense that users will be able to change lens according their requirements. If Apple is able to get success with this changeable lens technology to the iPhone, it will definitely keep its numero uno status in the mobile camera space. As we have seen that already huge sensors are built into the phone and this change in lens would make atleast point and shoot cameras worthless. This exciting move may create an entirely new industry of mobile lens similar. The patent filed by the Apple is for the "back panel for a portable electronic device with different camera lens options" and has a diagram reminiscent of an opened iPhone with labeled parts. The patent application also states that it would be desirable to offer a structure for a compact device that allows the end user to reconfigure the optical arrangement of the device while retaining the benefits of assembling the device using a pre-assembled digital imaging subsystem.
