NEW YORK - Apple is rumored to be using a camera made by Sony for their latest smartphone, the iPhone 5
It is known after the CEO of Sony Corporation Sir Howard Stringer inadvertently revealed the secret cooperation between his company with Apple to bring the image sensor to the iPhone's 8-megapixel camera 5.
It happened in the interview with Walt Mossberg from the Wall Street Journal, last weekend. At that time, Stringer talked about the powerful earthquake in Japan has destroyed 15 factories Sony.
Then, by accident, Stringer said that one of the factory was making the camera sensor to one of Apple products. Stringer also said if the provision of sensors that will be delayed due to natural disasters that devastated Japan March 11 last.
"Initially Stringer shows the irony that Sony had supplied components for the Apple device camera, which incidentally is one of its competitors. 'This makes me wonder. Why do I make Apple has the best camera?'" Wrote Mossberg when told what happened.
"It is not clear whether the device he was talking about because Sony is not known as a provider of camera components, known as image sensors for Apple. Unfortunately Sony and Apple spokesman could not be reached to give their comments," lid Mossberg.
Stringer did not reveal that the camera sensor will be used for the iPhone 5. However, as currently Sony is not making any camera sensor for Apple, Stringer's words seem to confirm that the electronics giant would provide components for the iPhone 5. So reported Mashable, Monday (04/04/2011).
Stringer's words immediately raised speculation that Apple will no longer use a 5-megapixel image sensor owned by OmniVision, which is currently embedded in the iPhone 4.
Even this speculation is strengthened by reports that analysts say is unlikely that OmniVision will supply to the iPhone camera 8 megapixel sensor 5 because they were not ready to launch the latest generation of Apple's iPhone, which are estimated to occur in mid-2011
