Everyone in the smartphone industry knows that Apple keeps a tight lid on its suppliers and many of the more technical specifications of its products, so Tim Cook’s visit to Sony’s CMOS sensor facility is kind of a big deal.
Analysts and fans have suspected it for some time and Tim Cook has finally admitted that Apple has been working with Sony for over a decade. The Apple CEO posted a photo of Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida showing him at a Sony facility.
The Cupertino-based company isn’t talking much about its battery, chip and display suppliers either, but supply chain analysts have revealed that Corning is making Apple’s front and back glass plates while Samsung and LG supply the majority. of OLED panels. The chips, of course, come from TSMC’s factories.
However, the Sony-Apple deal for camera hardware was still largely unconfirmed and, it seems, isn’t ending anytime soon. According to some reports, Sony is working on a new sensor that uses semiconductor technologies, letting in more light and reducing the chance of under- or over-exposure. Naturally, that sensor will end up in next-generation iPhones.
