Next-Generation iPhone Camera

OmniVision Technologies, the company that makes the camera components for the current iPhone 3G and 3GS, has been contracted again to make the camera components for the next generation of iPhone.

OmniVision has reportedly secured orders from Apple for 5-megapixel camera sensors rumored to be intended for the next-generation iPhone. OmniVision is expected to supply Apple with 40-45 million sensors in 2010 for the new iPhone.

OmniVision Technologies is expected to see CMOS image sensor (CIS) orders for Apple’s iPhone devices grow to 40-45 million units in 2010 from 20-21 million estimated this year, according to industry sources. The sources said OmniVision has secured 5-megapixel CIS orders for the next-generation iPhone model, which will hit shelves sometime during the second half of 2010.
