iPhone 6 Said to Feature Sony's 13-Megapixel Exmor IMX220 Camera Sensor

Apple's iPhone 6 could feature Sony's Exmor IMX220 camera sensor, according to a post (http://www.digi-wo.com/thread-19938-1-1.html) on Chinese Sony enthusiast forum Digi-Wo (http://www.digi-wo.com/thread-19938-1-1.html) (Google Translate (http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://www.digi-wo.com/thread-19938-1-1.html), via G for Games (http://www.gforgames.com/gadgets/iphone-6-feature-new-sony-exmor-sensor-44453/)). The Exmor IMX220 features a 13-megapixel, 1/2.3'' sensor and can record videos in 1080p. The sensor would also be a sizable improvement over the camera currently in the iPhone 5s, which uses an 8-megapixel, 1/3.2'' sensor.
 
 (http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2014/07/sonyexmor_imx220s.jpg) <center> Sony's Exmor IMX220 camera sensor (via Alibaba (http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/P20N01A-IMX220-sony-sensor-20-0m_1907196227.html?cn=null&PID=6151279&tp1=1bqvkkgh44z3h&tracelog=null&src=ale&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alibaba.com%2Fproduct-detail%2FP20N01A-IMX220-sony-sensor-20-0m_1907196227.html&cv=11032041&af=cj_6151279&vd=30)) </center>
 Past rumors have suggested (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/01/09/iphone-6-camera-8-megapixel/) that the iPhone 6 will retain the same 8-megapixel sensor found in the iPhone 5s, with Apple instead choosing to offer improved image stabilization for more clear photos. A report (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/24/optical-image-stabilization-iphone-6/) last month also noted that an optical image stabilization system will be exclusively featured in the larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6, while the smaller 4.7-inch version utilizes an improved lens module.
 
 Notably however, the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPhone 5s have used (http://www.cnet.com/news/iphone-5s-teardown-new-sony-camera-sensor-inside/) incremental versions of Sony's IMX145 sensor, as Apple could choose implement a new sensor from the company for the iPhone 6. Sony is also expected to use a 20-megapixel version of the IMX220 in its Sony Xperia Z3 flagship device that is slated to ship later this year.
 
 While Digi-Wo does not have a track record with Apple-related rumors, the website has offered accurate information on past Sony products before their release, and recently offered leaked photos (http://www.digi-wo.com/thread-19759-1-1.html) of the Xperia Z3.
 
 Apple's iPhone 6 is expected to be announced (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/03/apple-event-iphone-6-early-september/) this fall at a special media event. The device is expected to come in two sizes of 4.7 and 5.5-inches, although it is not known (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/13/iphone-6-production-issues-5-5-inch-delay-2015/) if the larger sized iPhone 6 will ship alongside the smaller version. In addition to an improved camera, the iPhone 6 will feature a thinner profile, a faster A8 processor (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/11/a8-2-ghz/), and Apple's new iOS 8 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-8/) mobile operating system.
