Apple has been busy improving the imaging capabilities of its devices, as evidenced by the improved camera on the iPhone 4 and the inclusion of a camera on the iPod touch. Now a patent application has surfaced detailing a new system that uses a flash redirector and imaging sensors that focus on scene conditions in order to get a better picture. The patent also offers the possibility that the new flash system could eventually be integrated into Apple’s iMac and MacBook lineups, maybe even a digital camera?

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.
