It was that moment when I first fantasized about popping on a special telephoto iPhone lens (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.procamera-app.com\/en\/blog\/iphone-pro-concept-with-lens-adaptor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">concept<\/a>) that might do justice to long distance, wide-panorama shots. The fact is that there are some nice &#8216;bolt on&#8217; options, such as the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ubergizmo.com\/2011\/04\/owle-bubo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OWLE<\/a> (Optical Widget for Life Enhancement) Bubo, available <em>today<\/em>. But there may eventually be an &#8216;Apple designed&#8217; way to add interchangeable lenses to a &#8216;nex gen&#8217; iPhone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.procamera-app.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Apple-iPhone-removable-casing.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2469\" title=\"Apple iPhone removable casing\" src=\"https:\/\/www.procamera-app.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Apple-iPhone-removable-casing-300x207.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" \/><\/a>If you read through a recent Apple patent filing (published by US Patent and Trademark office on June 14, 2012), called <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>\u201cBack Panel for a Portable Electronic Device with Different Camera Lens Options,\u201d<\/em><\/span>\u00a0you can see that Apple engineers have at least considered that possibility (interchangeable lenses). Or perhaps Apple recognizes that in today&#8217;s litigious environment, it&#8217;s best to patent every good idea before the competition does the same and then proceeds to extract their financial reward. Being first counts. So while Apple may very well <em>eventually<\/em> come out with an iPhone designed to support different lens adaptions, it may not be in the next model, or the next, or the next &#8230; but someday?
