iPhone 14 Pro camera bump
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the forthcoming iPhone 15 will get a 48mp wide angle lens, and that Apple’s orders for it mean manufacturer Sony is having to cut back on sales to Android firms.
“Due to the low yield rate, Sony has increased the CIS production capacity for Apple by 100-120% to meet Apple’s demand,” continues Kuo, “resulting in a significant reduction in high-end CIS supply for Android.”
Kuo further says that it’s not only Sony’s production capacity that is being stretched by Apple orders, but so its R&D resources. He expects that to have an impact on Android manufacturers, and consequently on Sony’s rivals in the field.
