iPhone 5 to Have a Dual LED Flash?
Single (Left) vs Dual (Right) LED comparison with Nokia phones by Zomgitscj
Digitimes claims that the upcoming iPhone 5 will incorporate a dual LED Flash.
Recent market rumors have indicated that Apple's iPhone 5 is likely to come with a dual-LED flash with Taiwan-based LED packaging firms Everlight Electronics, Edison Opto and Lite-On Technology being pinpointed as potential suppliers. All related companies have denied they are involved in the production of dual-LED flashes.
The advantage of a dual LED flash appears to be brighter and more expansive lighting for your photographs. Back in 2008 Zomgitscj showed differences between the dual LED flash and a single LED flash found on his Nokia N96 and Nokia N95. One is shown above but the site has several other examples for the phone at varying distances.We'd already seen rumors that Apple may be separating the Flash away from the camera sensor in the iPhone 5.

Well woop-di-f#ckin-doo!
Where the hell is the Xenon?
I will not buy an iPhone until it has a decent camera, quality lens and XENON FLASH!
Buy a camera.
Also, this is probably the only time we'll see a gatorade bottle as the picture for a front page article. :)
iPhone 5:
- 3.7 retina display
- A5 processor
- 700MB or 1GB RAM
- 8 meta icen camera with 1080p video recording
- Dual LED flash. 1 for camera and 1 for led notifications on th front
- New design (no more antenna issues)
- HD FaceTime camera on the front
- Thunderbolt connection for super fast syncing
- SIM free
Thats it.
No thunderbolt.
Great! Now my skin can look twice as bad!
Proper photo manipulation (like the things that can be done in iOS 5,) should help offset that.
This sounds like a neat, inexpensive feature.
Edit: Maybe while they're at it, they could give us some other dual audio/visual feedback, like, say, STEREO SPEAKERS?
