Apple ordina 45 milioni di sensori da 5 megapixel

OmniVision Technologies will supply from 40 to 45 million 5 Megapixel sensors to Apple during 2010, probably going to equip the next generation of iPhones. The news was brought by DigiTimes, and those are CMOS (CIS) sensors. The true manufacturing will start in Taiwan on the first trimester of 2010.

If history should repeat itself, with OmniVision that receives a big order (last year, 3.2 Megapixel sensors), we should see a more powerful iPhone around June. We’ll have to wait and see.
