Apple Admits Using Sony Cameras

In what is certainly being called a rare finding regarding iPhone hardware, Apple's CEO is confirming what not many people have come and seen. Tim Cook took the time to tweet a tweet talking about the leading iPhone maker using Sony's image sensors in iPhones. This was mentioned while he was part of a supplier tour to Japan. Cook added that this is nothing new and that Apple has partnered with Sony for more than 10 years to produce the best camera sensors for its iPhones from around the world. Similarly, he thanked the brand and its CEO for taking the time to give him a tour of the manufacturing facility.

Apple has finally admitted

A picture has been released showcasing its own brand's smart device, which many find a little funny. This is certainly a unique tweet, as Apple prefers to remain silent on such matters regarding where the iPhone hardware comes from. So immediately confirming news like this would certainly be a unique ordeal. Usually, the Apple website describes in detail the technical specifications of the leading iPhone camera. It really does say everything from aperture to resolution to field of view. But over time, it realizes that such matters don't really matter as we are dealing with the age and age of computational imagery.

However, many reports from the past have gone on to give more details about the industry aspects that led Apple to rely on brands like Sony. In the past, a report from the Wall Street Journal went on to claim that the iPhone 6 smartphone had two sensors coming from Sony. And even before that, others claimed the actual specs of the model numbers.

Sony talked about how it's working on a brand new image sensor that utilizes semiconductor technology to get the best light out there, limiting overexposure and underexposure. This is expected to arrive in the next batch of smart devices, the Apple iPhones. At the same time, the leading tech giant is hoping to strike deals with a few more smartphone makers other than Apple.
