Apr. 15th, 2012 03:38 pmAt times I wonder what will be in the iPhone 5. Of course the obvious: LTE data (duh), more memory. There's also some advantages to extending the screen to 4" on the diagonal.
However, something just occurred to me -- it's not the iPhone itself but how it ties in with everything else. What if the iPhone, while recording video (in H246/AAC MP4 format of course) recorded not only 1080p video... but a bit more of the frame PLUS accelerometer information to help iMovie with the image stabilization?
Similar techniques of adding data to photos and video is nothing new, but if iMovie can understand the accelerometer information, it can make better choices on what to do with an image, and do it after the fact on the film. Plus, since it's greater than 1080p (but not by much), you can still get 1080p video out of it w/o loss of fidelity. The best of all is that it's not much more power to do it.
