Next iPhone to have 3.2-megapixel camera?
Posted by: Marianne Schultz on Apr 3, 2009
Taiwan's DigitTimes reports that OmniVision, a camera sensor manufacturer, has received an order from Apple to supply 3.2-megapixel image sensors for the next iPhone model expected this summer. They also state that Apple has ordered 5-megapixel sensors for another Apple device that will be released later this year.
A 3.2-megapixel sensor will put the new iPhone on par with many touchscreen-only smartphone competitors, like the Blackberry Storm, HTC Touch Diamond, and the upcoming Palm Pre and HTC Magic/G2. The existing 2-megapixel camera in the current iPhone 3G and first-generation iPhone, combined with its lack of an auto-focus lens and settings adjustments, has been a disappointment to many users. An improvement in the next iPhone's camera specs will be greatly appreciated, particularly since rumors also point to the ability to record video in the next iPhone.
