According to DigiTimes' "market sources," Apple has tapped OmniVision to supply them with 3.2-megapixel CMOS image sensors for the often rumored next-generation iPhone.
OmniVision was supposedly able to beat out the likes of STMicroelectronics and Aptina Imaging to supply the units for Apple. The same report also states that OmniVision will also be supplying 5-megapixel CMOS image sensors for another Apple product expected to launch this year.
This report seems feasible enough because the next-generation iPhone has been constantly rumored to contain video recording capabilities.
As for what the 5-megapixel cameras would be used for, your guess is as good as mine.
