Apple Acquires Israeli Firm Called LinX Imaging
According to the latest report from The Wall Street Journal, Apple has recently purchased an Israeli camera technology called LinX Imaging.

LinX Imaging will surely help Apple to accomplish such an ambitious task as it has developed a number of technologies specifically for making the quality of images taken with a smartphone camera better.
