Apple has purchased LinX Imaging, an Israeli company that makes multi-lens cameras for smartphones, tablets and ultrabooks.</p><p>
A distinguishing feature of LinX’s cameras are their small size. Its cameras “are nearly half the height of a standard mobile camera,”
according to a news release from 2014 discussing the company’s latest imaging technology. LinX’s cameras can capture images that rival the quality of pictures taken with high-end SLR cameras, the release said.</p><p>
Smaller components could help Apple since the company is known for slimming down its hardware. For example, Apple’s new MacBook replaces the traditional USB Type-B ports and power jack with
a single USB Type-C port to cut down on size.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2910392/apple-buys-israeli-camera-technology-company.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
