元器件交易網訊  4月1日消息，據外媒報道，蘋果通過一項可交換攝像頭專利，這可以大大改善iPhone手機拍照的質量。

　　該項專利于2012年9月7日申請。

　　專利顯示，“卡口式連接機制”可以保護鏡片。這整套機制可以讓用戶切換鏡頭，拍出高質量的照片。

　　正如科技博客指出的，這并不是首次提出可連接的手機鏡頭。HTC智能機配備磁透鏡，索尼出售可在Android和iOS手機上運行的美模鏡頭。

　　蘋果可連接的鏡頭很可能類似于HTC的鏡頭，有一個外部鏡片。

　　考慮到便利性，蘋果可能采用更時尚、更小的鏡頭，可以無縫集成到iOS系統中。特別是iPhone 6尺寸將變大，可交互攝像頭鏡片可能正是iPhone 6所缺的。

　　外媒原文如下：

　　Apple has just been granted a new patent for interchangeable iPhone camera lenses that would significantly improve the quality of photos.

　　The patent was filed on Sept. 7, 2012, and could foreshadow some much-needed enhancements to Facebook albums everywhere.

　　The patent explains that the "bayonet attachment mechanisms" would secure a lens to the outside of an electronic device. These complicated mechanisms, attachments, apertures, and bayonets are all to say that you would be able to switch around fancy lenses that would let you take higher-quality pictures on your phone.

　　As Ars Technica points out, this most certainly is not the first time anyone has tried to come up with attachable lenses for phones. VicTsing offers magnetic lenses for HTC smartphones, and Sony sells aesthetically overwhelming lenses that operate like complete cameras and communicate wirelessly with Android and iOS phones.

　　Apple's own take on the attachable lens will most likely resemble the former option, with an external lens that uses the phone's existing sensor and storage.

　　While alternatives are already in the market, Apple owning the attachment would likely translate into sleeker, smaller lenses that seamlessly integrate into iOS. Especially with the iPhone expected to grow in size, interchangeable camera lenses may be just what the iPhone 6 is missing.
