Besides the aforementioned details, Rambo was also able to decode details regarding the Samsung-like infrared. It is a face-unlocking feature which was featured with the code name ‘Pearl ID’.
Apparently, the phone will have the tendency to record the video in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. Interestingly, iPhone 7 Plus used to record videos at 30 frames per second.
In addition, Apple’s next device will perhaps come with a SmartCam. Subsequently, this feature will enable the camera to auto tune its setting according to the scene it will capture.
