Quote:iPhones can already be used to take photos underwater, and the new generations come with IP68 ratings that allow owners to submerge their devices in water without any risk of damage.
 
And by the looks of things, the IP68 rating might be just one of the steps that Apple has in mind when it comes to the experience you can have with an iPhone… well… underwater.
 
Because yes, the Cupertino-based tech giant might be looking into ways to improve the quality of photos taken with an iPhone when swimming, as explained in a recent patent application.
 
Technically, what Apple wants to do is equip the iPhone with an army of sensors that would be in charge of determining the right settings for taking better pictures underwater. As per CultOfMac, the iPhone’s sensors could measure the amount of light in the water, the color shifts, depth, pressure, and distance from the subject.
