We all know that when Apple releases a new iPhone, not all of its specs are released. The company chose not to disclose the specifics of which hardware manufacturer’s products are used in the iPhone or what camera sensors the RAM has. Even though third parties often disclose this specification, there are situations that we are not aware of. We all have many unanswered questions about the iPhone, one of which is which camera sensor they use. We now have official confirmation, read this to the end to find out.
Apple CEO Tim Cook shared a photo of himself hanging out with Sony’s camera team on his social media account. He also says that Apple and Sony have been working on cameras for over a decade. Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida has released a picture showing him forcing himself to investigate Sony’s camera division. This confirms the suspicions of many users, now we can finally say – yes, Sony camera sensors are used in the iPhone.
We’ve partnered with Sony for over a decade to build the world’s leading camera sensors for iPhone. Thanks to Ken and everyone on the team for showing me around the state-of-the-art facility in Kumamoto today. pic.twitter.com/462SEkUbhi

In addition, the manufacturer decides to hide information about a number of other parameters, including information about the battery and chipset. Fortunately, a supply chain expert discovered that Corning manufactures sheets of glass that attach to the front and back of the iPhone. In most cases, Apple uses OLED panels from Samsung and LG displays. Also, the chips are undoubtedly based on TSMC’s manufacturing hub. Based on the power consumption of the chipsets you should not doubt that it is a Samsung or TSMC node.
That said, the Sony-Apple camera hardware deal has so far been largely untested and doesn’t look like it’s going to end anytime soon. According to some rumors, Sony is developing a new sensor that reduces the chance of the image being under or overexposed while allowing more light to come in. Of course, this sensor will also be used in iPhone models in the future.
