iPhone 5 to feature 8MP Camera Sensor from Sony?

Did howard Stringer just reveal that the upcoming iPhone 5 will feature an 8 megapixel camera sensor from Sony

Did Howard Stringer CEO of Sony just reveal that the upcoming iPhone 5 will feature an 8 megapixel camera sensor from Sony

 

In a recent slip up from Sony CEO Howard Stringer, it may have been revealed that the iPhone 5 will feature an 8 Megapixel camera sensor from Sony.

The iPhone 5 rumor goes that at a recent Talking Tech with Sony event in an interview with Walt Mossberg, Stringer was talking about how the recent earthquake and tsunami had caused issues for 15 of Sony’s factories including one that supplied image sensors to Apple for their iPhones or iPads:

The quote from Howard Stringer was as follows:

“Our best sensor technology is built in one of the (tsunami) affected factories. Those go to Apple for their iPhones…or iPads. Isn’t that something? They buy our best sensors from us?”

Rumours that Apple were switching to Sony for its camera sensor for the iPhone 5 have been circulating the internet ever since issues with OmniVision (the company supplying camera sensors for the iPhone 4 and 3Gs) sensor have surfaced, these complaints focus around the low light performance of the sensor, and a yellow tinge that is seen on most low light shots.

iPad 2 Announcement Not Far Away Following iPad Shortages and Price Drops

April 25, 2013 By Leave a Comment

iPad 2 Release date close following shortages and price drops

If history is any indicator then an iPad 2 announcements and release should not be too far away. With most apple product refreshes in the past there has been product shortages, similar to what is being seen at present with the iPad, so most pendants are saying expect an announcement around March 2011.

So what new features & specs are rumoured to be found in the iPad 2? Most industry analysists are predicting the following features and specifications:

  • Dual cameras forward & rear facing Camera/webcam (5-8 mega pixels)
  • Facetime
  • Increased Performance
  • Improved Battery for extra performance but same battery life
  • Light Peak (USB replacement)
  • Micro SD Card Slot
  • Thinner & Lighter
  • Higher display resolution
  • Bluetooth 3.0
  • Multi carrier chipset supporting CDMA / GSM / UTMS / 4G LTE allowing compatibility with a large number of cell phone carriers

In our opinion the Light Peak feature is a bit of a long shot and if anything we won’t see it until the release of the iPad 3.

March is not far away so we can only wait and see I am hoping all of the above options are included.

iPhone 5 Case Comparison

September 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment
iPhone 5 Case Deign Specification
iPhone 4 has long been released and we have indeed seen its stylistic Apple design although we are still left unsure as to how the IPhone 5’s casing really looks. Over the last year there had been several claims and rumours as to final design of the iPhone 5 with an early design leaked in April that  suggested a slender look that is balanced from top to bottom and thinner than the IPhone 4…

Then a couple of months ago, there has been an alleged case design that surfaced which eventually reached third-party cases manufacturers which was a more detailed design. From this design, a designer made measurements of this device that people has been curious about. Here goes the measurement shown in the above image (courtesy of MacRumours) puts the iPhone 5 at 4.33” x 2.36” giving the device a 4″ diagonal screen size, so in all a larger screen than the iPhone 4 but that’s shorter than the iPhone 4’s which measures 4.5” x 2.31”. In this rumour the diagonal screen size is larger because the new screen will go right to the edge of the device.

Case manufacturers that hit production line early basing their product the earlier iPhone 5 rumour dimensions of 4.7” x 2.6” and a thickness of .30”and tapering down to .065” at the bottom of the case, already have cases on the market, but if this new rumour is correct it looks like these cases might be set for the scrap heap.

As nothing has been been officially release yet, we are left to to wonder if the iPhone 5 will be larger than the iPhone 4. Well, possible launch is this October so we should all know very soon.

iPhone 5 TV Commercial in Production

September 9, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Since everyone has been excited about the release of the new iPhone 5, news is that the TV Ads is currently in production, Kasper Jade, an Apple Insider has revealed the production of the TV commercial for the latest iphone. According to him, there has been a reliable source that somewhere around Los Angeles the shoot is currenly taking place. One of the reports even say that an AT&T Executive has already told his staff that things will get a lot busier in the next 35-50 days.

Here’s the catch. It has been said that the commercial is scheduled to hit screens by October as production is about to be finished in the first week for that month. Excitement is the word indeed! Aside from the commercial being available, the gadget itself is about to be out either sometime in October. Only a couple of weeks more to go if  all that we have heard is infact true. It’s only then that all rumors will end as the true identity of the Apple iPhone 5 is unveiled.

Rumours of the iPhone 5 have been circulating for a long time and the number of rumours have increased in recent months and this shows that the iPhone 5 will be another hit after the success of Apple’s iPhone 4.

Steve Jobs Resigns as CEO of Apple

August 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Steve Jobs Resigns as Apple CEO

The big news out of Apple today is that Steve Jobs has resigned as CEO of Apple Inc, to take on a new role as chairman of Apple.

In recently years health concerns have plagued the CEO and co-founder however the short letter announcing Jobs resignation has not
indicated if his health problems have finally forced him to quit, the letter simply states “I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no
longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come,”

Jobs current deputy Tim Cook will now take over as CEO of Apple inc that this month became Americas most valuable.

While it’s unlikely that his departure as CEO will derail Apple’s ambitious product-launch roadmap in the near term, there are concerns
about whether the company would stay a creative force to be reckoned with beyond the next year or so without its founder and visionary at the helm.

That is why Apple’s stock dropped as much as 7 percent in after-hours trading when Jobs’ departure was announced.

In the company statement, Apple co-lead director Art Levinson on behalf of the board praised Jobs’ “extraordinary vision and
leadership” and “countless contributions to Apple’s success”, saying he would continue to serve the company with “unique insights,
creativity and inspiration.”

Jobs who had been on medical leave since Apple since 17 January briefly made an appearance for the launch of the iPad 2 back in March and also attended
a dinner hosted by President Barack Obama for technology leaders in Silicon
Valley.

Eric Schmidt, a friend of Jobs for years before the Internet search giant’s move into mobile software and devices strained their relationship, wrote a
moving testament to the legacy of his erstwhile business partner, echoing the responses of many of his fellow Silicon Valley executives on Wednesday.

“Steve Jobs is the most successful CEO in the U.S. of the last 25 years, “he said. “He uniquely combined an artist’s touch and an engineer’s vision to build an
extraordinary company… One of the greatest American leaders in history.”

Possible first iPhone 5 Photo Leaked

August 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment

iPhone 5 Photo Leaked

Someone by the name of “guigsh” over at the MacRumors forum posted what could possibly be the first picture of the iPhone 5. Along with the picture, guigsh posted “Picture taken yesterday in the office of a French operator.”

We’ve heard rumors that Apple has sent iPhone 5 testing units to carriers, and the way the phone looks in the picture does seem to fit the descriptions we’ve heard so far. We can’t know for sure if this is indeed a real iPhone 5 picture. But if this the real deal and not a photoshop hoax, then the iPhone 5 really is looking good, dont you think?

iPhone 5 Release Date

March 16, 2011 By 1 Comment

Speculation in regard to the release date of the iPhone 5 is suggesting a June 2011 release

With the launch of the iPad 2 and MacBook Pro out
of the way there has been much speculation of the iPhone 5 Release Date.

As with all previous iPhones there has been a new model released
around late June mid July every year.

Below is the release date of all previous iPhone models, looking at
this we can be fairly certain that the iPhone 5 Release date will be sometime
in  June 2011

Model Launch Date
original iPhone 29 June 2007
iPhone 3G 11 July 2008
iPhone 3Gs 19 June 2009
iPhone 4 24 June 2010

 

A few credible industry speculators and rumour websites are putting
their money on a 5 June 2011 release date, however we here at Apple Newz are a
little more cautious betting with history on late rather than early June 2011 release.
