Speaking in an interview with Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal, Sony CEO Howard Stringer has made several comments that suggest that the company will be providing the image sensor for the iPhone. CNN reports that Stinger was discussing the damage of the earthquake to sweatshops of Sony in Japan and off-handedly said a camera sensor made in one of those plants is to be adopted by Apple, adding that the sensor could be delayed due to damage caused during the disaster. It always puzzles me, "said Stringer. "Why would i make for Apple the best camera?" Like Sony is not known for the production of any cameras that are used in current Apple products, it is a reason that the sensors are designed for a future product. The report states that since Stringer mentioned better camera company, a unit of eight megapixels; also cites an analyst report by February that suggested OmniVision could lose on supply of cameras for the iPhone, like their 8 megapixel sensor would not have been ready for the iPhone 5 launch in summer .
