The tsunami in Japan could delay the introduction of the next Apple phone. At least this can be a sign of Sony's chief point, his company will provide photo sensors to Apple. Namely, the production was held back by the disaster. Hamburg - Sony CEO Howard Stringer has revealed at a panel discussion that the best sensors that can create his company at present, will be delivered to Apple.
On Friday he was at Carnegie Hall in New York by the technology journalists Walt Mossberg interview, as the Wall Street Journal reported. First Stringer told that 15 plants would be affected by his company from the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Including a plant in Sendai, are produced in the sensor chips for Apple.
So far, in Apple-Sony devices do not have sensors installed. Therefore, Stringer could have been a reference to a new model. For months, there is speculation that Apple could be the next iPhone equipped with a camera chip from Sony. In the current iPhone carries a chip from OmniVision with a resolution of 5 megapixels is serving.
A newer chip with higher resolution and backlighting for better shots in low light conditions is apparently not yet ready for market. Just a sensor actually Sony has to offer: The company has an 8 megapixel chip developed which is currently in the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc used. The delay fits the Apple apologists well into the picture: At the annual Apple developer conference WWDC in early June will take place, is obviously not a new iPhone introduced - contrary to the usual product cycle.
