Sony boss has a great iPhone 5 note last Friday may be stating the electronics company, an 8-megapixel camera on the iPhone 5 – if it can overcome delays in production due to the recent earthquake and tsunamis in Japan. The Tokyo-based company CEO Howard Stringer said that Sony may delay the image sensors of the affected plant in Sendi, Japan, the clients like Apple, due to damages caused by the recent tsunami and the earthquake face.
The observation that loose speculation, since Sony is currently not image sensors for Apple products, the new 8-megapixel camera could be the fifth for the iPhone
Speculation directly related to recent rumors that Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple has us in his usual supplier OmniVision sensor, change the current 5-megapixel camera on the iPhone quarter Stringer comments add credence to the concept.
But a higher-resolution Sony camera for the iPhone 5 could portend possible iPhone 5 delays If Sony Exmor R camera sensors currently used in the Sony Ericsson Xperia are actually a part of the iPhone to 5, then any delay on this camera parts, the introduction of the phone itself is slowed down, especially since the earthquake starts fallout felt to be components in a deficit for the tech industry as a whole.
There are other signs of the iPhone 5 delays. In the past, Apple Events, which remains his release near the West has debuted its new smartphones on its Developer Conference in June. But because this year the developers of the conference, the meeting focused on software, many believe that it will not happen until the autumn that it is time for other suppliers of parts waiting to be found giving. But give Sony and the iPhone camera sensors for the next generation, then the date can be pushed further back.
Stringer remarks show how the production plans are made vulnerable to disruptions in the supply chain of the disaster in Japan. Confident with a preferential treatment in its dealership agreement, Apple can not handle a large part is missing, the interference of plant – it can not pay for parts that are not even there extra.
With the planned rollout to iPhone 5 parts shortages and delays in handset influence during a crucial year, mainly because historically, Apple production is the biggest factor in sales.
And speed is crucial in the smartphone market, Apple’s competitors to create new smartphones like the HP’s efforts in the Web OS platform Windows Mobile 7 on Nokia phones, a renewed BlackBerry from Research in Motion and a list of Android in perform devices of different manufacturers of mobile phones are always on the market.
There is always the possibility that the cameras from Sony for another Apple can provide, such as the iPod nano, but most experts see a number of connections to the upcoming fifth iPhone
Apple and Sony have declined to comment on this issue.
