One of the most wanted features on the Apple iPhone is a good camera. Not that, the current 3GS 3MP camera is bad, it infact is a record setter on Flickr and Youtube in terms of mobile uploads. But when it comes to serious quality challenge, the Carl Zesis on Nokia and massive 8MP and 12MP on other phones beats the 3GS.
Though we can be certain that Apple would definitely update the camera in the 4G, we have some rumors supporting this with OmniVision being said to be shipping the 5MP sensors to Apple. Earlier this year in April when the 3GS wasn’t official, Omnivision has actually claimed to have orders from Apple for both 3MP and 5MP camera sensors, and it did turn out to be OmniVision’s OmniPixel3 CMOS Image Sensors powering the iPhone 3rd Gen. This builds some trust into the latest reports that OmniVision is indeed giving the nextgen iPhone an awesome 5 megapixel camera.
OmniVision shipped 65 million camera sensors to Apple in 2009 which includes the iPod nano 5G and maybe even some Macbooks, giving the co a profit of $8.1 million in Q2. Multitasking and 5MP camera are certainly good upgrades, what else do you think the iPhone 4G would bring, LTE?
