The fifth-generation iPhone, whose output would only be scheduled for late summer, early fall 2011, could host a photo sensor with a resolution of 8 Megapixels.
Apple would have the intention to align with the smartphones market with a sensor to 8 Megapixels. To achieve this, the Cupertino company should change partners. OmniVision sensors provides 3.2 Megapixels for iPhone 3G and the iPhone 5 to 4 Megapixels. But the company is unable to deliver timely sensor 8 Megapixels.
