iPhone 6 to Feature New 13MP Sony Exmor Camera Sensor?

Apple will use a new 13MP Sony Exmor camera sensor in the iPhone 6, according to a Digi-Wo report via GforGames.

Apple will allegedly adopt a new shooter for the iPhone 6, namely the Sony Exmor IMX220. Apparently this new unit boasts 13 MP and a 1/2.3″ sensor and is capable of recording 1080p videos (3840 x 1080 resolution sampling). The source of this new rumor has a great track record when it comes to Sony related rumors, so we’d file this under “there is a chance it might happen”.

The sensor is also expected to appear in the Sony Xperia Z3 with 20MP shooting capabilities. Notably the 13MP units can be purchased on Alibaba already for $27 each.


Earlier this year, ESM China analyst Sun Chang Xu predicted that the iPhone 6's camera would feature electronic image stabilization rather than optical image stabilization, and a larger pixel size.

Apple is expected to unveil its new iPhone 6 in September. For more updates, please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS.
