But whereas 5G iPhones may require 3 to 4 AiP moduls … more…

The expectation is that these will be a telephoto lens, a wide angle lens, and a ultra wide-angle lens, with LED flash/light. 3D sensing cameras or sensors are not believed to be added until 2020.

But it does point to a possibly interesting near future for tablets. There are already just a handful of tablets that features 4 speakers that rotate … more…
