New information reported by setteB.IT suggests Micron as the manufacturer of the iPhone’s 2-megapixel camera sensor. The sensor is capable of producing 2-megapixel resolution and records up to 30 fps (frame per second).
According to an earlier estimate by iSuppli, each sensor will cost $11; however, this recent article suggests a lower price range of $5 to $7 per device component from Micron. Furthermore, Micron’s semiconductor fabrication plant in Avezzano is supposedly the sole provider of the sensor for Apple’s iPhone. Given that this info is true and accurate, Apple started placing initial orders between 2,000 to 3,000 wafers per week for a theoretical yield of 600,000 sensors per week.
