The rear facing camera chip switched from OmniVision to Sony for iPhone 4s (not iPhone 5). In my chart I have got the resolution wrong for iPhone 4 and 4s (it should be 5 MP and 8 MP, respectively). Update to follow.
I had iPhone 4. I have iPhone 5 now. IMHO, I feel the quality of pictures taken with iPhone 4 is better. It seems the image sensor community really needs a method to measure picture quality.
It’d be nice if Chipworks can include Samsung Galaxy camera series in above charts, which is also an important driver for pixel and image sensor technologies.
up until iphone5, the read facing was OV.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Ray. I've changed the chart to your updated version.
DeleteRay, the iphone 5C uses 1.4u pixels, same as the iphone5.
