Despite running the outdated Symbian OS, the Nokia 808 is by many still regarded as the best smartphone camera.

According to a report by Engadget, Apple
has hired Nokia's head of Lumia imaging, Ari Partinen. Partinen sent
out a tweet saying today was his last day at Nokia and that in June
he'll be starting "a new chapter in Cupertino." In a later tweet he
confirmed the company he'll be working for in Cupertino is indeed Apple.

With their excellent optical image stabilization and high-resolution
sensors that enable lossless digital zoom and clever downscaling,
Nokia's Lumia devices, especially the 808 and 1020, are widely regarded
as the smartphone cameras with the best image quality on the market.
While Mr. Partinen's move doesn't mean we'll see PureView technology in
one of the next iPhones, it shows that Apple is serious about camera
technology in its devices.
The iPhone 5s
is already delivering very good image quality without any optical image
stabilization, large sensors or fancy software tricks. It'll be
interesting to see what future Apple smartphones can do if Mr. Partinen
gets to implement some of those ideas.
