Apple CEO Tim Cook Honors Long Partnership With Sony to Develop ‘World’s Leading Camera Sensors’ for iPhones

Apple CEO Tim Cook has publicly honored Sony’s lengthy partnership with Apple in developing and creating cutting-edge camera sensors for iPhone models during the last decade.

In a tweet posted during his visit to Sony’s camera development facility in Kumamoto, Japan, Cook acknowledged the company’s successful partnership with Apple to create “the world’s leading camera sensors for ‌iPhone‌,” and thanked the team at the facility for showing him around.

Apple reportedly first used Sony’s camera sensor for the iPhone 6 and has used Sony-made components in successive ‌iPhone‌ models.

Cook’s tweet suggests Apple’s partnership with Sony remains strong, and that next year’s iPhone 15 models will be equipped with Sony’s newest “state of the art” image sensors.

In addition to camera sensors for the iPhone lineup, Sony is also expected to supply Apple with an OLED on silicon (OLEDoS) – also known as micro-OLED – display for the company’s first-generation mixed-reality headset.
