Apple aiming at killing DSLR cameras

LAHORE (Web Desk) – World’s top technology company Apple has signed deal to purchase LinX in order to challenge the DSLR cameras in the market.

iPhones are known for cameras. In fact, the camera on iPhone6 and 6 Plus is considered one of the best compared to any other existing smartphones – except for camera sensors on Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.

Last week, Apple finalised a deal to purchase LinX - a company known for manufacturing advanced sensors for camera - creating speculation that Apple could be planning a DSLR killer for its future iPhones.

The news was first reported by Wall Street Journal, which said Apple has acquired LinX Computational Imaging Ltd for about $20 million.

The technology adopted by LinX, according to its website, combines innovative image processing, advanced sensor and optics technology setting enabling low-light performance, HDR, refocusing, colour fidelity, shutter lag and many other features.

“LinX cameras are significantly smaller than any camera on the market today, leading the way to DSLR performance in slim handsets,” it said.

ISLAMABAD – Pakistani rupee finally ended its losing streak against US dollar on Tuesday, gaining Rs4.43 after massive depreciation over the last week.

During the intra-day trading, the rupee was hovering at 266.75 with an appreciation of around 1.07 percent as talks between Pakistan and IMF underway for a stalled bailout programme.

Earlier on Monday, the rupee plunged by Rs7 and the greenback touched all-time high of Rs272. Last week, the local currency dropped by Rs24.54 in the interbank market – the largest single-day depreciation in more than two decades.

Finance experts linked the rupee’s recovery to exporters offloading some of their proceeds as remittances and export continued days after dollar cap was removed.

The country of over 220 million is facing a worst economic crisis with the forex reserved held by the country’s central bank remaining at critical $3.68 billion which were not enough to cover a month's import.
