We have already seen some evidence that Apple might bump the iPhone’s camera up to five megapixels<\/a>, but there is also evidence to suggest the company may add an LED “flash” to improve its low-light picture-taking abilities. Sources for AppleInsider suggest that Apple is currently seeking a supplier<\/a> for “tens of millions” of LEDs, with Philips’ LUXEON LED supposedly leading the pack of possibilities. The LED “flashes” used in mobile phones are actually constant light sources, so they could be used for shooting low-light videos too.<\/p>\n Imagination Technologies, the company that develops the PowerVR graphics processors used in the iPhone<\/a>, has also announced an improved SGX545 graphics processor core. It’s compatible with OpenGL ES 2.0 3D graphics API, as well as OpenGL 3.2 and even OpenCL. The processor core is designed to be used in multi-core applications for even more of a kick, but would likely only appear as a single core in iPhone applications for better battery life. Imagination says that the tech is already “licensed by a lead partner,” and Apple’s investment in the company<\/a> certainly qualifies it as one of those partners.<\/p>\n Finally, The iPhone Blog reports that buzz around the CES show floor is that Apple plans to add some form of limited multitasking<\/a> to the next version of the iPhone. The details are naturally non-specific, though Apple has cited battery life and user complexity for not allowing multiple third-party apps to run simultaneously. Apple may include a PA Semi-designed, low-power ARM Cortex A9 processor in the next iPhone, which would negate the extra battery drain and keep performance at acceptable levels.<\/p>\n Next-gen iPhone hardware may make an appearance at the event supposedly focused on “mobile” devices that is expected later this month. However, if recent history is a guide, we won’t see the new hardware unveiled until shortly before its release this summer.<\/p>\n
