Undoubtedly, Samsung and Apple are rivals in the tech industry, but that’s not the case for now since Apple is considering using Samsung camera sensors for the iPhone 16.
Apple is actively setting up to debut its next-gen phone, the iPhone 16. If this report comes true, this will be the first time Apple has gone for Samsung’s camera sensor. Traditionally, Sony is the usual supplier of Apple, but for now, Apple is testing the Samsung sensors.
If the report from The Elec is to be believed, Apple will use a camera sensor from Samsung System LSI for the primary rear camera of the iPhone 16. The report says Apple decided to source camera sensors for the iPhone 16 from Samsung instead of Sony.
There are two key reasons behind this sudden change; for instance, the giant has recently acknowledged that sensors from the Japanese supplier have issues regarding reliability. The second fact behind this step is that Sony could not deliver the required camera sensors to Apple for the iPhone 15 on time, due to which Apple had issues setting a debut date for the phone.
Now, Apple asked the Korean giant to start developing sensors for the iPhone 16 last year. According to the report, the image sensor Samsung System LSI has developed for the iPhone 16 has a three-wafer stack. Each stack features a different element: photodiodes, transistors, and analog-to-digital converter logic.
