The iPhone 15 series is anticipated to launch in 2019, but speculation about its numerous characteristics has already begun. According to a recent report, Sony will supply Apple with cutting-edge picture sensors for its next iPhone models. The in question sensor has not yet been manufactured by Sony. According to reports, Sony's factory in Nagasaki will produce it. According to reports, the corporation has made significant investments in image sensors with the goal of dominating the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor industry by about 60 percent by 2025.
The next iPhone series from Apple may use Sony's cutting-edge picture sensor, according to a Nikkei Asia report. According to reports, this new image sensor has each pixel's saturation signal level twice that of older sensors. It is said to be able to capture more light while minimising overexposure or underexposure. According to this information, the image sensor can capture a person's face clearly even when there is intense backlighting.
According to reports, Sony had over 44% of the market for CMOS image sensors in 2021, with Samsung coming in second at 18.5%. In 2023, the business stated that it will invest JYP 900 billion (approximately Rs. 53,000 crore) in image sensors. By 2025, it aims to capture around 60% of the market for CMOS image sensors.
