Next Generation iPhone to Use 5-Megapixel Camera?


Chosun reports (via AppleInsider) that Apple's next generation iPhone will use a 5-megapixel camera provided by LG Innotek.

The electronics component maker began producing the sophisticated cameras at its plant in Gumi this month and will mass produce them starting in the second half of this year.

The current iPhone 3GS offers only a 3-megapixel camera at this time. There had been earlier rumors in 2009 also placing a 5-megapixel camera in the next iPhone, but those rumors pinpointed a different supplier.

Apple is expected to unveil the next iPhone at WWDC in June.

This camera upgrade should allow me to to take some higher quality and more detailed videos of my Fishing adventures!

I'm more curious to know what the front facing camera has.

I certainly wouldn't hope for anything less than a 5-MP camera.

Better quality is nice, I hope the flash is xenon too.

Probably somewhere between 1-3, as a guess.

That would only produce pictures filled with Noise. The lens and sensor quality is not good enough to take good pictures at that size.

Utterly useless—detrimental, even—in a phone camera.
8 Megapixels does not equal quality.
