document: Will the Next iPhone Have a 3D Camera ? Apple has filed for a patent that would involve taking multiple pictures and meshing them together to create a 3-dimensional image -- a process that would include the use of two cameras instead of one -- according to AppleInsider . It remains to be seen as to whether Apple will jump on the 3D bandwagon , but many companies have already embraced the technology . There are actually a number of phones on the market that already use 3D cameras and displays . The EVO 3D , which debuted at CTIA Wireless 2011 , uses a pair of cameras on the back of the phone to capture high-definition 3D video . The patent indicates that the technology would allow the iPhone to shoot still images in 3D and also record high-definition 3D video , according to the report . Both the EVO 3D and Nintendo 's latest handheld gaming device , the 3DS , uses a technology called a parallax barrier -- which basically only lets each eye see a certain set of pixels ont he screen . That means that each eye sees something different , and the brain combines the images . The net effect is an illusion of depth and a 3D image without needing cumbersome 3D glasses . The patent does n't indicate whether Apple 's next iteration of the iPhone would carry a similar screen using parallax barrier technology . But 3D has not emerged as the dominant new trend in display technology , as there are some complaints about whether it places undue strain on eyes . The Nintendo 3DS , for example , warns users to take a break from time to time so they do not strain their eyes . Apple is expected to delay the release of its next iPhone until the fall . That would give the company more than enough time to introduce a number of new pieces of technology to the device , including access to the next generation of wireless networks .
