iPhone 4G may get Sony 8-megapixel camera
Business news site, The Street, is reporting that Apple is going to use a 8MP sensor from Sony for the 4G iPhone expected to be released in 2011. Omnivision is still expected to supply a 5MP sensor for the upcoming iPhone due this summer, but Apple seems to have big plans for the photo and movie capability of their future iPhone models. However, given Apple’s tight-lipped nature of their product plans, we should still file this under ‘rumor‘.
Hello Sony, Goodbye Omnivision. Apple has picked Sony’s 8-megapixel camera chip for the 2011 iPhone, according to supply and manufacturing sources, said Rodman Renshaw analyst Ashok Kumar.
