Apple’s forthcoming fifth-generation iPhone will feature an 8-megapixel camera according to a report on Tuesday from DigiTimes. Citing anonymous sources, DigiTimes states that OmniVision has been awarded the contract to supply the bulk of the image sensors for Apple’s iPhone 5. These sensors, according to the report, will feature an 8-megapixel resolution. OmniVision is said to be supplying roughly 90% of the image sensors for Apple’s next iPhone, while Sony will supply the remaining 10%. Apple has been rumored on numerous occasions to be including an 8-megapixel camera in its next iPhone, but the company has not yet confirmed any specs for the upcoming device.

    All they need to do is give it a four inch screen and swype and watch the droids go down the drain. Oh wait….

    it would be bigger shock if camera stayed 5mp … there is like nothing surprising if it is 8mp… it is not extraordinary to have 8mp camera in the phone… there are 12mp phones… if they made it 20mp that would be something worth writing about…

      Apparently some people still believe: more MP better quality. I’m afraid MP have little to do with image quality. My old Nikon D2H at 4MP will beat any point and shoot/cell phone camera whether they have 5MP or 15MP.

      The 12MP camera on the Nokia N8 is probably the best one on a phone so far due to great optics and the largest SENSOR on any mobile phone. Too bad the whole thing won’t fit on a device as thin as an iPhone

        I thought Apple products weren’t about specs?

        Steve Jobs definitely wears specs; I know ’cause I’ve seen them.

    Where the MHZ Myth left off, the Mega-Pixel Myth takes over.  hopefully people will realize the 8 MP cameras on a cell phone are likely WORSE than 5 mp cameras.

    Still it’s digital zoom tech and a phone so it can’t beat the real camera with good optical zoom.
